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 don't know if there already is one, or if this has been brought up before, but i think it would be fun to have a theme song for the cooler crew, maybe play it at the park once in a while while we dig, any suggestions?

Medallion man... to the toon of "iron man"

I am medallion man.... digging through the parks with a shovel in my hand.

The nice thing about that toon is you can make anything fit in!

I am proud of you, everyone else just makes him spit it out on the keyboard.

"Hotel Coolerfornia" has always been the theme song... Words were even written at one time, to fit The 'Heads...

Sadly, that got lost.

However, "You can check out, but you can never leave."

well there's the hotel coolerfornia, but i'm not sure if there are any real lyrics to it.

could be a good idea to have the song playing during the beginning credits of the movie too

Maybe a new song for each years hunt??

2K2, I love you. You're a 'Head after my own heart.

Been there, done it, checked it out.

However, would cost like $15,000 or more to get the rites to yust play the friggin' song. You'd think they'd WANT the xposure and free pub...

Guess again. (sigh)

How are you Jordenn? Yes, I'm very happy, thank you very much :) I wonder if I'll have to come up with lyrics to my Cooler Crew cd containing the song list I came up with...

I've been dating a new gal for a couple of weeks--do you think I should confess to my Medallion Habit, or keep it a secret?

Confess? More like brag!

Whoa, maybe not then, isn't there a copyright thing where after the song has been released for 25 years, its free game?

confess! confess! confess!

Confess? Depends on if she'll get suspicious or angry if you seemingly drop off the face of the earth for a few weeks.

We could still have some fun picking one for our own amusement for this yesr.

copyright lasts some 95 years for most things, m2k2.

there were actually lyrics for coolerfornia, green? now i gotta hunt them down.

DD: Tell her and be PROUD!!! :)

TMK: Doing well now. Had some yucky medical stuff last year, had surgery in October, but healing up well. Tumor is gone, so far I'm noncancerous.... Life is good! Thanks for asking!! :)

dave, if you don't confess, how else are you gonna explain the late nite escapades over the next 2 weeks? another woman?

Kids--we're not in the calling daily mode yet--and I have a cell, so I could still check in.

Just one tip: try not to slip up and call her green.

so jordenn, you gonna grace us with your presence at McGoverns saturday?

Ares--this contest is worse than "another woman", at least in terms of the time I put into it. As for excuses, I am open to suggestions. I have thought about telling her tomorrow. If she is open to joining me hunting, I think she's one step closer to being a keeper.

Well i'm heading out for a bit, i'll be back later, maybe we can brainstorm a song we can all agree on this year, one that fits the best i'll try and think of one too.

Jordenn, very very glad to hear. DD, then it shouldn't be a problem. Just bring it up in casual conversation, see what she says about it. Don't have to "confess" it. Besides, you make it seem like something to be ashamed of.

Thats the thing dave.

Thou shall not feel shame, but swell with pride.

Tim--Pretty good one! So far, she's trained to realize that I speak mostly in non-sequiters anyway.

is non-sequiters jibbirish?

Hell, no, not ashamed. But outside this group, my commitment to it has been regarded as odd...

Thanks for the tips folks!

Ha ha! "Grace us with my presence..." I think everyone will be just fine whether I am there or not. Seriously thinking about it though... Just have to see how the weekend pans out. Would love to meet everyone! That's for sure! However, since surgery and returning to work, I tend to be tireder lately and I work early on Saturday and even earlier on Sunday. If I can get a nap in on Saturday..... Where exactly is McGoverns anyways? I know I heard it is by the Xcel Center, right? Is it close to United Hospital...... I KNOW where that is! (Thank you my doctors and nurses for taking gooder care of me!) ;)

hmm. that's one more for the "hi, my name is blank and i'm a crazy hunt-a-holic" category!

I understand dave. Just tell her there is a movie... from new york. "normal" folk like that kind of stuff...

Tim--

Think of it as phrases out of order--I tend to jump around in coversations--so saying a word out of context, for me is normal

I know what you mean, I just had to say it out loud to myself.
