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.

Does this ever happen to anyone else? You're sitting in your office/cubicle/room, and suddenly start laughing maniacally/spewing coke because of a post, coincidentally at the same time your boss/friend/coworker walks by. You manage to click on another screen (boring work) just in time for that person to say, "What's so funny about that?"

naw. dal. never happens. :)

Okay- here's a good one from the 'i'Book of Questions "Would you give up half of what you now own for a pill that would permanatly change you so that one hour of sleep would fully refresh you?"

My Dalliance

NO! What would I do all night?

You would post and hunt!

"Would you give up half of what you now own for a pill that would permanatly change you so that one hour of sleep would fully refresh you?"

you mean there are actually people who aren't refreshed on one hour of sleep????? we already have that. its called the medallion!

Treasure Digger

That would be NO for me, too. I wouldn't give up my family and friends, or what little money we have for a pill that I could easily take a 15 min. power nap.

How about just having a refesh button like on your computer???

I agree with you Ares. Medallion time is the only pill we need.

Here's a Jake-Inge inspired question: Would you turn down a raise and promotion if it meant you could not participate at all in the hunt?

Tue, 01/29/2002 - 3:12 PM Permalink
lilslim

Ok, here's one. Would you like to know the precise date of your death?

Tue, 01/29/2002 - 3:12 PM Permalink

and it only costs us 25 cents per nite.

Tue, 01/29/2002 - 3:13 PM Permalink

I'd turn it WAAAY down, Dal.

yep

Would you like to know the precise date of your death?

nope.

It says half of what you now own . So, that would be half of my house, car, stereo, ect. Not family friends, ect.

I don't know. This is one of those trick questions like on the Twilight Zone, where there's an evil consequence for saying yes.

Tue, 01/29/2002 - 3:13 PM Permalink
Treasure Digger

Well, if I could get a cut by having a say "BUTTON REGISTERED", yes!

I'd still have to say NO.

Time to run people's it's been fun hope to chat again tonight or tomorrow.I visited the other site and at this point I don't think I'm gonna like it as much as this one. Bye all.

That's good Frosti, that's what this book is supposed to do. Make you think of all of the pros and cons.

Does anyone know when we are going to get kicked off this site?

Tue, 01/29/2002 - 3:15 PM Permalink

I was wondering that too Dal

Treasure Digger

Would I want to know when I'm going to die? Nope. Then I wouldn't be me and I wouldn't enjoy life and its surroundings as much as if I didn't know.

no one knows when this site's going away. hopefully never.

Last year they kept this site up even a short while after the hunt started. I wasn't on here this summer much, but I think the old site was still running. Will have to as Sysop.

Why move then? Preemptive strike?

I noticed Scribe was posting on the 2001 site as of yesterday.
