I was E&H's MOM for so long....and not clever enough for a new handle just because #3 was born :).

THX - I would usually wait until 5 or 6 as well but I'm addicted to collecting the actual clues. I end up getting the paper delivered to my door at 3:45 anyway so I guess I head down there to noodle more than anything.

Same, there's really no reason to buy a paper at 11:00 yet when you can get it an hour later online

Actually, I just can't wait to see the new Marmaduke comic. That's why I go get the paper at 11:00

Hey - that hour between 11:00 and 12:00 makes a TON of difference for some of us! I get up at 4:30, and to wait until 12:00, and then start noodling.....I'd never make it. I wish they'd go back to putting it out online at 11:30.

Between the few of us who do go down there we call it in or type it ASAP anyway. We just haven't been getting the paper until 11:30 so far is all. It will always be in the Cooler before it's on the official site.

does anyone think that there is the possibility that the medallion is hidden at Newell again just to throw people off. After all, in the frist clue, it does relate to "duel". It also states "prepare to be bold". Blod could refer to being the first time being in the same park twice in a row.

That's very nice of you Cluemaster, to get the clue on the cooler page before it comes out on the official site.

oh well.... just a thought

I agree that there's no point in getting the early jump on the clue this early in the season. that's energy thats better conserved for later use.

Gee, Ares,I wonder where that bit of wisdom came from!:)

Every store I have gone to lately does not even know what I am talking about! Am I in the twilight zone?? After THE MOLE, I am going out AGAIN.... gotta get one, I gotta get one...

Well, you *will* have to come to St. Paul to get a button. At least as far as I know. I've gotten those same kind of "deer in the headlights" looks from the cashiers in the western suburbs when asked about a winter carnival button.
