Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.
Eags
You're right. Its not like there is an excess population of medallions!
On the other hand, I don't think most of the people would actually hunt. They'd probably use it as an excuse to drink, ice fish, snowmobile, etc. Its the empowerment part that's important...getting your boss to recognize that medallion hunting time is as sacred to you as any other religious holiday.
Ahhh...hemmm (clearing throat) And it *may* contribute to being the first laidoff when the layoffs start...
But, thass life! Don't mess with me and The Kids; and don't mess with me and THE HUNT!!! (Jeez!!! Typed "hung" there for a momento... Holy Crow!!!!)
I think ittiz worth a shot, the enmasse (izz that the French spelling?) thighy. I've tried the honest approach - "Look, I've got to Hunt. Can't help it. I'm taking the time with no pay, so that's good... May as well, because if I'm here working, I'm telling you, I'm not gonna bee. I'm gonna bee NOODLING!!!"
I've tried the "Can-You-Believe-They're-Making-A-Documentary-About-The-Medallion-Hunt-And-The-Cooler-Crew-and-How-Many-People-Does-This-Happen-To-In-Their-Lifetime?" approach.
I've tried the Sicker'una-Dog-And-At-Death's-Door Approach.
I've tried the Take-Vacation Approach.
I've tried the Work-All-Day(trying NOT to Noodle)-and-Hunting-All-Nite approach.
I've tried the Working-While-Hunting Approach.
None work perfectly, all are so-so, and some worse than others.
It boils down to folks that don't have The Med Hunt Virus yust can't understand what the draw is and consider you positively ape-poop CRAZY for giving the whole Hunt more than a simple passing "Hummm. They're nutz," interest.
Somehow, someway we gots to get thru folk's heads THIS IS SERIOUS BIDNESS!!!!
An en masse walk-out should work. Then, when we're all fired, we can go start our Commune!!!!! :D
JOE!!!
P.S.
Hhhhhuuuummmmmm.... Yust caught your "religious" approach, Eags. Snot tried *that* one. And ME! That did the "Hunter's Prayer"!!!!
Thass my next approach. "Sorry. My religion will not allow me to work during my most very sacred - and hopefully blessed (with 10 thousand smackers...) - time o'year."
You know, if we *did* form a religion... NOBUDDY *COULD* FIRE US!!! :D
Hey crew--just slogged through the new board, and the Izzit Green or Izzit not controversy was side splitting funny. Nobody could type that way on purpose, except Green! I love the gal, but her posts are so non-linear at times, just reading them makes me step away from the 'puter. How could anyone impersonate that, and not need aspirin? Green, I'm glad you are, in fact, the one-of-a-kind gal you are!
Santa Dave,where the heck are you? You sneak! I was drivin along Christmas Eve. mornin considering droppin coffee and donuts down at the ole radio station and lo and behold who beat me to it? I thought it was pretty great that it was you considering the holiday and all!
How the heck are you,Mr.Downtown Dave? Got your shovel sharpened?:)
I was going through my closet and saw a hawaiian shirt I have in there. I thought of the camo crew, and how I could have a gimmick of being the guy in the hawaiian shirt. But would it go well with my hat?
Eags, I've lived with you for five effin' years. I KNOW what JOE!!!s yur after!
Some gimmick, Scribe... I mean, the 'green.' Ittiz yust me. Ask my fiends. There is no way I can get away from the colour any more than I could snot hunt...
This year's gonna bee sumpin' else... I'm gonna look like a Camo Krew wannabe... green, brown, orange... Gonna use Son's hunting suit - BLAZE ORANGE - to keep warm...
Snot gonna go there, Scribe. Don't want to embarrass you or hurt you or anything like that. So... If you aren't a 'ding-a-linging' out in the Parks this year, I hope ittiz for a good, happy reason like I stink it maybee.
And if ittiz not, hope we can talk you in to grabbing some dogs at a fire pit, at the very least.

Whatebbber, you're finally here.

Never thought about it in terms of the medallion getting laid before...
It's elementary my dear Green,It will be of course in the frog pond at Cocoa Mocha!LOL!
Eags,I don't need that sort of mental picture!:)
I have been good. A lot happening in my life. Too much to go into here though. We can catch up on things during the hunt, or at the pre-dig gig :)

Maybe this year I'll wear bells at the park! You just gotta have a gimmick and someone already took the color green!LOL!
Don't be sorry...there will plenty more of 'em before we call it a wrap.
Ares,He's under my thumb!
Okay....never mind....this will definitely go to a bad part of your brain!
I was going through my closet and saw a hawaiian shirt I have in there. I thought of the camo crew, and how I could have a gimmick of being the guy in the hawaiian shirt. But would it go well with my hat?
Kids,what you need is a "Mystery Machine"!!
ThoseMedallingKids and the Mystery Machine, coming to a park near you!
I should get a dog and name him Scooby. Although get a smaller dog, for fun. And teach it how to dig through snow ;)
Eags, I went bock and fixed it... Kind'a...

Some gimmick, Scribe... I mean, the 'green.' Ittiz yust me. Ask my fiends. There is no way I can get away from the colour any more than I could snot hunt...
This year's gonna bee sumpin' else... I'm gonna look like a Camo Krew wannabe... green, brown, orange... Gonna use Son's hunting suit - BLAZE ORANGE - to keep warm...
