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.

Hey don't squash my Puck dreams, maybe it would be worth a try, god knows i need all the help i can get !
I don't care why they do it. I hope they do make money at it. Then they're less likely to discontiue it if something goes wrong or some new bean-counter comes in trying to cut costs. So I highly doubt it would have lasted this long if it wasn't a profitable thing.
Rivraft, these people are making this film for all the right reasons, Green, we gotta raise some hell tomorrow....And rivraft, you better relax or im gonna get mad.
Green, I know my earlier post may have appeared negative. I want you to know that that was not my intention, I simply noticed that you are a tad bit more, fired up tonight than most nites. Calling you the matriarch was not intended to be a negative thing. I apologize if you construed it as such.
I know it's not your party, it is a celebration of the hunt for us of the cooler crew. I meant the matriarch statement because, well, everyone knows you on here, kind of thing, nothing more, nothing less
And to say the hunt is being commercialized because someone, and this particular someone is very cool I might add, is shooting a documentary on it is absolutely beyond me and my way of thinking!
Green, it's not like I'm going to walk into McGoverns with a bouquet of flowers and say okay, where's the hostess of this thing, Green, Green? Where are you?
The hunt has tradition, the hunt has a passion. I think Trent and Jackie weren't looking to make money off this, but to capture this passion, the excitement. And it will help capture some tradition. I don't know that people who were in it for the commercialism would be out in the freezing cold at midnight to work at watching people dig.
I know, but they are having a hard enough time trying to get through all of the red tape without people saying that kind of thing, and i feel bad for being mean to rivraft because he or she otherwise seems like a pretty nice individual, but ignorance is the one thing that kind of sets this laid back Jake off!
WHERE did I lose it??? NO COMMENT, PEANUT GALLERY!
Where was it ever said or inundoed (sp!) that Jackie and Trent were trying to commercialize The Hunt/off The Hunt?
I missed that!
Which izz good.
WHAT A FRIGGIN PIPE DREAM on sumbuddy's part!
I've seen Jackie in tears over the stories of "I really need to find this; I've no money." I've listened to both her and Trent voice their awe, "Wish we could have been looking since we were kids..."
I've sat with them as they've edited tape... "You know, a Cooler Head's just gotta find it this/next year!"
I want to apologize for going off, but things like that drive me up the wall, not to mention the fact that im starting to feel the pressure of the hunt!
Well, my philosiphy is that every year I don't find it is an opportunity lost, I probably feel more pressure than most and I also may take it more seriously then most, but thats the way it is.
I remember thinking this hunt was the stupidest thing when I was in High School, but a friend of mine read clue #3 in 99 and realized his house # was in the clue, and I remember well being the only one in this desolate park at 3am called Conway Heights.....

Sure has been disappointing though. I love St. Paul's history, it's such a cool City.
Anyway, I should be heading off to bed. Don't know why I've been staying up so late this week.
me too, good night Allison and everyone else
Green you better check your email!
Allison. You're dumber'un dirt. I love you to death, but you've pissed me off so much I could choke the ever livin' SPIT outta you!!!
Your take's entirely bucks. That's not entirely MomPress's take. Granted, I will give you they want to break even... BUT....
Oh, my jaded Allison...
As long as MomPress can break even or even only go in the hole a titch, there is NO WAY this Hunt will stop.
This is St. Paul. This is MN. We're talking the history and lives and webbed (as in intwined) of the city.
Allison, you break my heart.
Green. thats not a joke........ just read it
Jake, go look for your phone.
Rivraft, these people are making this film for all the right reasons, Green, we gotta raise some hell tomorrow....And rivraft, you better relax or im gonna get mad.
The hunt is something you unique that we are a part of and they are sharing that with people who wouldnt otherwise understand......
Jakey, my dearest bubba. You DON'T want to be riding my ass tonite...
Snot been a good one and you're apt to be included in the dogs that get kicked...
I suggest you cease and desist...
HARK! I hear HI beconing you!
Well, Jakers, at least you're on the rite wave length...
Unlike Allison...
WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
JOE!!!
Green, I know my earlier post may have appeared negative. I want you to know that that was not my intention, I simply noticed that you are a tad bit more, fired up tonight than most nites. Calling you the matriarch was not intended to be a negative thing. I apologize if you construed it as such.
Jake, I speak from experience. Give it up and just say "yes dear"
Whoa.
Did I say sumpin' wrong?
Nah. As usual. Totally clue-less and in the dark.
Does Green have an "insult me" sticker on her?
I don't see one on her. Who is insulting her?
Gottcha, Rush!
((((((Rush))))))
I just wanted *you* to know this izz not like my party...
Jakey, what did I miss????????
I know it's not your party, it is a celebration of the hunt for us of the cooler crew. I meant the matriarch statement because, well, everyone knows you on here, kind of thing, nothing more, nothing less
And to say the hunt is being commercialized because someone, and this particular someone is very cool I might add, is shooting a documentary on it is absolutely beyond me and my way of thinking!
Oh.
Stink I'm catching up here.
I may ace a clue this year after all!!!
And Rivraft, I apologize for being harsh, but I am right in the middle of the whole thing and it definately is NOT commercialization.
Green, it's not like I'm going to walk into McGoverns with a bouquet of flowers and say okay, where's the hostess of this thing, Green, Green? Where are you?
But just to be a smart ass......
Jakey, here's a fact...
Read it, accept it.
It [The Hunt] ain't gonna affect too many more folks in the heart like/as it does you and me.
We gotta learn to deal with them it means different to...
The hunt has tradition, the hunt has a passion. I think Trent and Jackie weren't looking to make money off this, but to capture this passion, the excitement. And it will help capture some tradition. I don't know that people who were in it for the commercialism would be out in the freezing cold at midnight to work at watching people dig.
Rush, you're starting to gag me...
How so?
Sweet, Larry Bird/Buster Rhymes Joe!
I know, but they are having a hard enough time trying to get through all of the red tape without people saying that kind of thing, and i feel bad for being mean to rivraft because he or she otherwise seems like a pretty nice individual, but ignorance is the one thing that kind of sets this laid back Jake off!
Rushmore you gonna be at mcgoverns
And my passion for the hunt is second to none!
Yep I will, my first time I can go, so I am excited!
WHERE did I lose it??? NO COMMENT, PEANUT GALLERY!
Where was it ever said or inundoed (sp!) that Jackie and Trent were trying to commercialize The Hunt/off The Hunt?

Them? Commercialize? ROFLOLPMP!!!!!!!!
Crap, I misunderstood things! I thought that Jake was letting into Green. Oops.
I want to get into green!
Whoa!
I want to apologize for going off, but things like that drive me up the wall, not to mention the fact that im starting to feel the pressure of the hunt!
Get your mind outta the gutter rushmore!
Huh?
Jake may not have the brains the gods gave an ameobia...
But ittiz like he's my bro. *I* can beat the tar outta him (like over his phone...), but you even THINK about casting an aspersion upon him and...
YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH MOI!
Jake, why do you feel pressure? Is it excitement or what? How old are you anyway?
Kirby-Joe
Well, my philosiphy is that every year I don't find it is an opportunity lost, I probably feel more pressure than most and I also may take it more seriously then most, but thats the way it is.
I am 22
jake inge - 01:46am Jan 11, 2002 CST "I also may take it more seriously then most" To say the least Jake, to say the least.
How long have you been hunting for?
I remember thinking this hunt was the stupidest thing when I was in High School, but a friend of mine read clue #3 in 99 and realized his house # was in the clue, and I remember well being the only one in this desolate park at 3am called Conway Heights.....
And needless, to say, I was on top of it for almost a week!!
You weren't alone Jake, don't forget the spotters!
