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.
Sprydogg- I have never been one to toot my own horn, and thats why when I realized West Picnic grounds, I wasn't in here telling people, I was there digging!!
toothpicks, scribe. chew on toothpicks. one of the guys my brother worked with quit cold turkey from a 4-pack a day habit with toothpicks. and i imagine that at mcgoverns there's a ready supply of them.
ahh the joy of new year's resolutions. my rule is to always make one that you know you can't keep. mostly because there's always one that you end up breaking. might as well plan for it in advance.
I know. I loved smoking too. I actually quit because of the rising expense. The health concerns were not enough for me. That's why it's bad. It's insidious and evil and oh so good...
Thx I'm a slogg'n Dog, alright already Jake I'm sure you were there but come on next time let people know what u know it'll only take u 2min to get on line. Personally I appreciate all of the insight I get from you guys out here. Anyone knows where The shoveler at or the medallionstallion those guys were funny.
Thanks Leelabell. I'm quitting for sure this time. I've finally made my mind up. Like frosty said, health reason's don't matter. It's the money issues.
I played with the numbers and if I invested what we spend on smoking every month, we can retire with an extra million.
Brandon Spry - 02:47am Jan 27, 2001 CST (#19746 of 28642) You're all wrong! All you sloggers sit at home! Get out and Dig!West pinic area at Como is where it's at. I've been out there since midnight and ther was a TON of people there when I left.
Friday night/Saturday morning. Funny that jake steve and I were there Friday afternoon. Before friday nights clue and sertainly before saturdays clue, the coca mocha one i believe.
Sprydogg- The thing is, I only post on here for a little while right before sleep, Kirk Condie has told me several times that he has turned over more snow than any other hunter in the last twenty years and I am sure there is a corralation to that and the fact that he is a two time finder.....
Scribe I slogged thru 20,000 thats why I haven't posted for almost 24hrs now but I got to get back to work, so I'll talk to u soon. Just for the record I'm not totally a new comer I've read every post since 99 I just didn't post much so I don't have the name recognition such as Allison Wonderland,Scribe,Green,ARES,STEPPDOGG,VIOLENT J,REGG REGALMAN,THE SHOVELER, THE ARTIST Formerly known as Highlander,Marley KING, MEDALLION STALLION I'm sure I left some outbut you guys are famous. I hope everyone is back this year where is Medallionstallion,highlander,the shoveler, cabingirl?
THX ya were cool. Tim_the_hunter you started this whole thing anyways, and I'm happy for you Timmy, u guys were out there, next time tell us post it we all will appreciate it very much.
Well sprydoggy, if you're going to get all civil about it, then I guess I will reply...
"Fine all you guys can turn on me like a pack of wolves Jake inge Thx 1138 and few others had accused me of lying about calling the park and location,"
I was too busy convincing people it couldn't be at Como to notice who actually brought it up first. I thought anyone saying it was at Como was on crack and ignored them. But it's hard to claim anything without someone else claiming they did it first and just didn't post it.
"and all I said concerning Allison was he was way off and was responding to a previous post that Allison is the best in the cooler."
I'm not denying that I was way off. But I think the tone of the post probably didn't endear you to anyone. The post about me being the best came from then documentary website. It also says hundreds of diggers will follow whatever I say. Well maybe a dozen or so went to AA last year, but obviously there's some hyperbole going on there for dramatic effect.
"Ihave given Allison plenty of credit in the past but last year he was preoccupied with the film crew if he can't admit that that's fine."
I'm still not sure where this is coming from. The film crew contacted me and they said they wanted me to be in the film because they liked the things I had written in the past. They also said if anyone was going to be out digging, to give them a call and I did because I figured that's what they wanted. I'll admit working on the film was fun, but are you trying to say you think I was doing things I wouldn't have done otherwise? I think if my behavior has changed any, it has more to do with just having more experience at this and becoming more confident (obviously overconfident last year). I don't think the film really influenced that any though.
"I had the impression that we are here to help people look in the right location and that's all I was doing, I was not trying to keep things to myself."
That's been a hard issue to deal with at times. Partly I post what I do to try and be helpful. Partly I do it for the consolation prize of the small amount of glory one gets for being right about something early on, even if you don't actually get the medallion. Yet sometimes in the past, when I have been right about something and posted it, other people would complain about me giving things away. So sometimes I felt like I should tell people what I was thinking, sometimes I felt like I shouldn't, sometimes I thought maybe it would be best to just tell certain people. But I think it's one of those things where you can never make everyone happy.
"ALSO nobody has said to Allison that they are sorry to hear he's being laid off well Alison let me be the first"
Thanks. On the bright side though it does give me more time for hunting. And for being in the movie :P
"and Allisison I apoligize if I reacted to harshly, but lets face it we all particpate in the pride of calling the right location. I was at conway and was happy you called it that year. These other's accused of lying so I was upset"
I think you may have been a bit harsh, not entirely wrong, but harsh. But I'm willing to forget about it if you are. I think what followed was probably more just an emotional reaction to the harshness, but now that you've made your case, I don't think you'll have to worry about that anymore. So anyway, let's forget about it and get back to preparing for this year's hunt.
Been nine looooong days.....
You know,cigarettes are my best friend...
::SOB::
I finally got it!
You are not my friend THX!
Only cigarettes.
I could smoke a computer...

1.) Spry, I never called you a liar.
2.) I can't believe you slogged through all those posts. I don't really care who called the park. What matters is who finds it.
3.) I'm only involved in this hunt because of my crazy wife.
4.) Sorry Allison, I didn't know you were laid off. It's crazy days these days, Merrill announced 9,000 layoffs yesterday.
5.) Scribe, I'm the best friend you've ever had. :-)
Sprydogg- I have never been one to toot my own horn, and thats why when I realized West Picnic grounds, I wasn't in here telling people, I was there digging!!
And thank you JT, it DOESN'T matter who is the first to accurately name the park!!!
toothpicks, scribe. chew on toothpicks. one of the guys my brother worked with quit cold turkey from a 4-pack a day habit with toothpicks. and i imagine that at mcgoverns there's a ready supply of them.
"I'm only involved in this hunt because of my crazy wife."
I'm not crazy,your crazy.
AND:
"I can't believe you slogged through all those posts."
Your kidding right? Please say your kidding...
I'm not crazy,your crazy.
of course he is. he married a crazy huntress, right?
Ares,you can light a toothpick and you can smoke em!
Scribe, are you going cold turkey? The patch? Zyban?
Ares,you can light a toothpick and you can smoke em!
no one said to smoke 'em. just chew on it.
Frosti,we're using the patch.
Really going to sharpen my skates now........:)
C U all later!
(teenspeak I learned from my kid)
later scribe.
Scribe, didn't you and THX quit smoking last year right before the hunt?
who's gonna get that tasty 3000 joe?
Scribe, didn't you and THX quit smoking last year right before the hunt?
Could have been. This isn't the first time I've tried.
It will however be the last!
I'm either gonna do it or say screw it and increase my life insurance policy.
:-)

just do it long enough to put non-smoker on the forms :)
Smoking bad.

Two years is required nowadays. If I can make it that long, I better not start up again.
Smoking bad.
I love smoking. I openly admit that I'm an addict. That's why I need to quit.
I'm just glad I never tried crack.
:-)
I know. I loved smoking too. I actually quit because of the rising expense. The health concerns were not enough for me. That's why it's bad. It's insidious and evil and oh so good...
LOL!
My thoughts exactly.
$10,000 sure would buy a lot of smokes...
$10,000 sure would buy a lot of smokes...
or you could go with stepdogg's tag line:
beer...$10,000...better beer.
Do any of you know what the date is for the buttons to be registered? I'm planning on picking mine up today and am curious of the deadline.
Thx I'm a slogg'n Dog, alright already Jake I'm sure you were there but come on next time let people know what u know it'll only take u 2min to get on line.

Don't let Scribe read that.
PalinaJOE!
Spry, We're cool I hope?
btw: We all went straight from the PP building to Como after getting the clue. We were no where near a computer until 2:00 or 3:00 AM.
Treasure Digger, I have no clue. My button and registration thingy is at home.
Yep, THX, I was an addict at one time too. I loved smoking. I wish you both luck.
Thanks Leelabell. I'm quitting for sure this time. I've finally made my mind up. Like frosty said, health reason's don't matter. It's the money issues.
