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.

Ares: I just had to check it out, gettin' old, with cane and all, you know?

I was worried about my memory.

The "Tomato Gang," Ian? Yur making me hungry!!!

Gotta love, "Hotel Coolerfornia!" I *wish* you'd find the words to it...

JT; you around?

How's this for a B-day present:

Turn a year older on Sun., hear the baby's heart beat for the first time Mon afternoon, then shoot a 300 Mon. night.

Hi Green. In one of your earlier posts you said if you found the Medallion you have to go and turn it in right away. It might take me an hour to go turn it in if I found it cause I'd have to go home and change my underwear, if you get my drift.

wolf, you're supposed to bring a change of underwear with you when you hunt.

With this weather I could probably "HUNT" in my underwear. Probably get arrested though.

Got your drift, Wolfie!!! LOL!!!

I'm sure MomPress has smelled it all bee4!

I think I asked this before but I can't find if anyone answered me, so I will try again. I am trying to set up a baby-sitter for the hunt and I was wondering what day, clue number, you guys think the digging and racing to parks really starts. I will bring the troops with me when needed, but the baby may make my stays short.

Tough to call that one, Snow Mommy. I'm not even going to try. Not cuz I don't want to help but, sure as s**t I'll be wrong.

HIPPO BIRDIES TWO EWES, CHEM!!!

Llady, you're gonna "look smashing, da-link"!!!

Went to the bank in tennies - no socks - and a t-shirt, no coat. What a beautiful day!

I'm not even gonna hazard a guess, Snow Mommy... Ittiz too tuff to call... It just all depends.

DEPENDS!!! There's what you need, Wolfie!!! :D

Snow mommy

Hmmm...Well I was thinking setting something up starting with the 4th clue and if I don't need her I could cancel. My mom is pretty understanding, she says baby-sitting is always free EXCEPT if I was to find the medallion, then she wants to go out to dinner.

Finally registered my button today. I've only had it for about a week. Now I'm ready to hunt.

By the way, if some unregistered soul finds it, I'm sure we can come to an arrangement. My button, your dumb luck=$5000

Ya-ha!

Good afternoon all. I see as the snow continues to dwindle, the coolerheads continue to mass.

Ominous, isn't it TMK?

I'm starting to think I wasted my money buying Hunting Supplies.' I hope not though. It's forecasted to get cold again next week.

I don't think its ominous. The lack of snow this year could help in bringing more people closer. And Snowmommy, while you may not be able to use your tools this year, you can definitely use them in future years

Wed, 01/09/2002 - 2:14 PM Permalink
Snow mommy

Yes your right TMK but I was so excited to use them. I WILL be bringing my cow pooper scooper just to show everyone. I was thinking of decorating it for extra luck.

I was thinking I could put cooler head on my shirt and then try to come up with a funny definition for it.

Wed, 01/09/2002 - 2:19 PM Permalink
Liquor Lady

so what is the definition of a cooler head anyway?

LL that would be good!!

a '300' is a perfect game in bowling. 12 strikes.

I knew that, Chem. I was just playing with ya.

That's amazing! Call you Earl Anthony from now on.

(Only pro-bowler I can think of).

Don't tell Ian though, he'll be jealous.

Ian, you or your kids ever bowl a perfect game?

Hello to all the fellow cooler crew medallion hunters out there. I am back for my 4th year of this and I just can't wait until the hunt begins. I got my button registered today and am very happy to see people pack talking away in the water cooler already.. How is everyone doing out there that I have not talked to in nearly a year?

me? not even close. Kris got a 288 (10 pin).

Last Sunday he was in a Baker Doubles tournament and got to the 10th with a possibility, but got robbed. 279

Thanks Ian,

It was a whole different feeling than I thought it would be. I figured I'd be nervous but I did get the shakes until the 12th when the people on the lane next to us called one of their bowlers back.

264 is my high game. What makes it interesting is my mother went into labor with me the night of her bowling league. She decided to finish her game before heading to the hospitol and bowled, you guessed it, a 264.

I'm getting ready to leave work. Checked in again to see chatting about anything and everything. Things sure will change in here when the hunt begins. Going by SA to pick up my buttons and register them before "I" find it. Actually, I'd just be happy if someone in here finds it. Would be nice to see a cooler head win it. Take care.

When is the last date to register the buttons anyway? I still have to go out and buy mine.

No Ian, I never have. I always listen to or read the news when they give out clues, but I have never gone after it. I really don't know that much about St. Pual for all the clues to make sense.

So they don't make sense to you... Noodle them anyway... ROFLOL!!!

Well, I can xplain how Cooler Heads came to be, but I don't think you can like put that on your shirt...

What did you have in mind? Like a design?

what do you you think they will do with the lack of snow for the medallion, wrapping it in clay/grass/mud, magnetizing it, in a tree, any thoughts?
