Usually folks look like Elmer Fudd for the PP photos.
Way funny Ter! LOL
I'm sure that we would too. That's why I'm afraid to see NTFCF. I'm sure that we'll feel like we're in Micheal Moore's Roger And Me. "I call that I get to be the rabbit lady."
I'm personally in the hunt for fun and obsession. I don't know if I'd even turn in the medallion if I found it.
Anyway, I have to agree with Steve. Do you really think that kid from, Woodbury was it, would have found it in a small park in St Paul without lurking at the PP forum?
If I recall, the kid didn't even post until after he found it.
Hey Ian? What are those yellow things mixed in with the money on your avatar? I was thinking condom wrappers :)
and I would still hunt but not as heavily I think cause I need the money too :) The sooner I find the medallion the sooner I get to sit in my finished livingroom :)
I thought I would just peek back in here thisevening after the Giants lost to San Fran! I am soooo bumbed---but excellent 4th quarter! WoW! I am surprised it is 'dead' in here
Sorry babe, ;-) headin out. Kid needs to use the comp for Rapunzel Barbie CD-ROM game. The women always win in this house. I get to go back to taking down X-mas decors. :-( Nice 2 C U anyway.
email exchange between trent and aw this evening, posted here with aw's permission. given that this article can't be found on the pp's web site, and the lame excuse used "too much technology" i'm inclined to think its a bunch of bs. and jake, if you're reading this. if this turns out to be something you're spreading to give us pre-hunt jitters, i promise to you right now that you will neverpost on these boards again. if this is a hoax, you've got till midnite tomorrow nite to come clean with it. consider yourself warned.
You had better sit down for this one folks. That's right, no hunt this year. Persons in the marketing department in the St. Paul Pioneer Press held a meeting with several Winter Carnival officials and announced today there would be no medallion hunt.
Carolyn Robertson, head of promotions at the newspaper, stated "Unfortunately technology is such that we just cannot continue with the hunt this year. People are using several high tech instruments that are leading to the medallion being found quickly, and when this happens, our objectives are not being met."
It is not yet known if there will be future hunts, and although Winter Carnival officials know that several people will be disappointed, they hope that this will not dry interest in the carnival, and as one spokesperson said, "This can only increase participation in other activities more directly associated with the Carnival."
Robertson would like to thank Minnesotans who have hunted throughout the years and says that the paper will still be involved in other events.

There are a lot of little elements in it that don't sound like something a genuine journalist would do. Not to mention that we can't actually find it anywhere on the official site.
I can't believe Jake would do that. If there wasn't going to be a hunt this year, it would kill him. He lives for this. I saw an ad in last Sundays (12-29-02) or New Year's Day paper advertising this years hunt. The prize is again $10,000 plus the groceries.
So it has been inthe paper then? Good. I couldn't find anything on the Med hunt web site. But I think its a good sign if its been advertised recently in the paper, would they adv. it if there was ANYquestion that it would go on? And for the (ridiculous) reason given, I doubt it would have been a last minute decision.
"I just called Jake and he says it's a joke. He's not at a computer right now, but he just wants you guys to know that it's a joke. He didn't mean to get anyone upset, he loves you all (especially Ares), and if anyone can make it to Bugg's, he'll buy you a drink. Please post. And he says once again he's sorry. We'll get the Maidallions to spank him during the hunt this year.
go ahead and be pissed off. i'm not gonna argue the fact that he's dedicated as hell to the hunt. its just that there are a few too many idiosyncracies in that article for it to be real. and we're not just talking the journalistic things that aw pointed out.

Okay, so he's a dedicated dildo. I still don't believe it.
