2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

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.

I can if I want to. My schedule is a little flexible, especially when I come in early, not much is going on, or there's diggin' to be done.

As you meet people and get to know them better, it's easier to recognize them out digging. Otherwise what people have done before is tie something white to themselves, like a sock. If you think they may be a Coolerhead, you ask them "You dig?". If they respond with "I dig" or "You dig?", then it's a Coolerhead.

Of course Tim is serious. You must not have met him last year if you don't believe him. I'm scared to sit next to him at the pre-dig gig because of all the women who will be swarming around him.

Okay, I'm back. One last post, I swear. Everyone at the fire pit who I remember had red, runny noses, hair that stood straight up, reeked of burning lumber, and the shape of the Michelin man.

Shoot, had to type a paycheck for someone. Missed out on some posts. And now, I have to go home. I so want to stay and chat. Last week I put that I thought the posts #'s would be around 9,000 at the time the first clue comes out. I just might be close. Bye, talk to you guys tomorrow.

Don't kid yourselves fellas. The women only allow us to have guy cards because it makes us happy. They don't bestow any real power or priveledges, and can be revoked at any time.

We're all trained. Or single.

Trick question really. Being single makes you want to be trained, while being trained makes you want to be single. So the only way to be happy is to be single and not want to be trained, or be trained and learn to love it!

Dude, Tim, what are you saying sad single guys club for? Bask in the glory of being single, no attachment! no one to train you! You are free to be you!

I was once a part of the sad sad single guys club! Scribe and Leelabell tried to find me a nice woman, and they failed miserably. Thank goodness, or else I would have been on the point system. Instead, I struck out on my own and found myself a great, wonderful woman. And she doesn't even employ the point system. Yes guys, there is hope! Don't give up. Clutch your guy cards proudly and go find them! They are out there!

See, TMK has been trained to say that guys, unfortunately she is such a good trainer, that TMK is failing to see it.

LOL - Sorry TMK - But I am happy that you have found your happiness.

Speaking from experience, make DAMN sure that she is the one!

nah timmers, i had one in the palm of my hand, 6 months ago. and proceeded to let her go.

Naw Tim, they are out there. I'd try to liken it to the medallion hunt, but I'm not going to tell you to look in every dirt clump, rummage through the trash, or dig in a lonesome park at 3 a.m. for a gf. And Rushmore, I'm making sure she's the right one. I've thought about it long and hard, and I'm not throwing this pair of earmuffs away, only to kick myself afterwards.
