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.

Hi everyone! I see I caught a lull in the conversation here, and I was already to "dish" about veggies! Darn. On another note . . .

I just read and slogged most of last nights posts....Allison is is like the best speaker around....does he do that for a living or what??? I am not kidding...the guy makes a lot of sense and takes into consideration all sides and all peoples points of view before speaking....he is a great analytical thinker too!!

Actually no, I don't do it for a living, though I probably should. I'm not quite sure what sort of job that would even be actually.

AW, I think that sort of job is called "consulting."

Did anyone hear anything about Cub Foods starting a treasure hunt tomorrow with a $10,000 prize? My coworker is saying she saw a sign about it.

Actually I could probably be a good arbitrator, but for consulting, don't you need some sort of expertise on something to consult about?

Will someone help me out with this new site?

1. Is the best way to view by topic?

2. How do you know you're on the "right" topic? (the one that everyone else is also on?)

3. What does it mean to "subscribe to thread"?

how about consulting for parks and rec? don't know what they'd need consulting on, but you've certainly got the expertise there!

ok. i'll take a shot at it.

1. Is the best way to view by topic?

its what seems to be best.

2. How do you know you're on the "right" topic? (the one that everyone else is also on?)

well, i think we've taken over the whole twins area of the forum. pick your conversation and run with it.

3. What does it mean to "subscribe to thread"?

no idea. try it and find out.

If someone in here sold buttons or something to represent a new hunt and all the money's collected were paid out would that be legal???

Heck, no! that's how and why the entire occupational field of "consulting" was created. And that's why you must put quotation marks around the word "consulting."

AW, your friend probably saw an old advertisement for the Medallion hunt. They're still popping up on the PP & TwinCities.com

btw: The new site sucks!

I'm starting to think she was confused. Maybe the deadline for turning in your clipped clues was today and she saw that in conjunction with Cub's sponsorship of the Medallion hunt and thought it was a separate hunt that started tomorrow? Trying to check into it.

There are lots of tournaments for things like chess, pool, backgammon and such where there is an entry fee and then that money is used to pay out a prize to the winner, so I don't see why you couldn't do the same thing with a treasure hunt.

it takes some getting used to, jt, but methinks its starting to suck less and less now that i am getting used to it.

Hmmm, wondering how one becomes a "consultant"? I wonder if I can "consult" on treasure hunts?

AHEM! Did you miss me? I've actually been here since clue #1, I've just been lurking, seeing as how I didnt have much to add to the hunt, because im not not even in MN this year. Im living outside of L.A. in California for the next 3 months. I was just slogging through last nights posts that i missed, and well, it seems that I was unofficially inducted into the Pioneer Press Water Cooler Hall Of Shame?? Dare i ask why? I did nothing to piss anyone off that i know of last year, that is except maybe TRY TO DISCUSS THE CLUES A LITTLE BIT!! and every time i would do that, someone would make fun of my screen name, hence the silence and lurking for so long.

Ok. I can see im being ignored here. What i dont get, is that I was here all the time last year and actually felt to be a part of "The Crew" I was at the PP almost everynight, and even went to last years Rehash Bash. I guess no one remembers the good things about people hmm? And because i leave so abruptly, I'm all of a sudden considered "a bad guy"?
