wow- I really didn't think it was gonna happen but it did...
I really am an M&M! I am, I am!
You have a lot of mood swings. One day you're almond, the next you're crunchy. Make up your mind! People can always find you, since you're just that cool.
I look like a snowm&m in that picture. reminds me of the clowns and the snowMAN :)
I thought of yelling your name too Cluemaster!
oh and check this out... From that other thread..."In order to have a solid organization, people need to have a leader or group of leaders. Otherwise, it turns into a pissing contest or there is absolute chaos. Without initiative or leadership, where would the PP go? What would they do?"
What the heck are they thinkin'? have we turned into a 'pissing contest'? or was that them with their leadership?
I made a post over on the PP site in response to the post you quoted which was actually on their other site. But anyway, my point was I don't think you need a leader unless you're trying to go somewhere. For the most part, this group doesn't go anywhere. We're just here and being here is all we were meant to do. When we do undertake the occasional project, it doesn't need the approval of some elected overseer. If I want to run a mock hunt, I just take the initiative and say I'm running a mock hunt and then people will either participate or they won't. Adding in a level of bureaucracy really doesn't enhance the process at all as far as I can see.

Romania to Open Dracula Park ALEXANDRU ALEXE Associated Press
BUCHAREST, Romania - Romania will open a Dracula theme park at a lakeside resort near the burial site of Vlad the Impaler, the real-life Romanian prince who inspired the vampire myth, tourism officials said Wednesday.
After a year of wrangling between building the tourist attraction deep in the Transylvania region or closer to Bucharest, officials announced the park will be built near Snagov Lake, an upscale resort 25 miles north of the capital.
A study found a park devoted to the legendary vampire would attract more than a million tourists a year if located near Bucharest. That's compared to 600,000 tourists if it were built near the birthplace of Prince Vlad in the Transylvanian city of Sighisoara, the initial plan.
Estimated to cost $31.5 million, the park's planned attractions will include restaurants, hotels, a zoo, a golf course and a Gothic castle with spooky effects. The park will be built on government land and could cover up to 520 acres, Tourism Minister Dan Matei Agathon said.
The body of the sadistic count, who inspired Bram Stokes' 1897 novel "Dracula," is said to be buried in a monastery he built on a small island on the lake.
Legend has it that the bloodthirsty prince captured invading Turks and common criminals and impaled them on stakes in public market places.
Many Romanians consider Vlad a national hero for his heroic battles against the Ottoman Empire and his intolerance of corruption.
But Vlad only gained world fame after Stoker's best-selling novel was published. The book changed the image of the Romanian nobleman from warrior prince to spooky bloodsucking count, inspiring dozens of plays and movies worldwide.
Conservationists were opposed to the park being built in the Transylvania region, concerned that heavy tourism and construction would damage a medieval citadel in Sighisoara and a protected oak forest.
I'm not sure what you're talking about Petey? I don't recall this site ever disappearing and I've been checking in every day. or are you referring to another site?
OK looks like the n st paul medallion was found YESTERDAY !!
Jake talked to the lady in charge and she told him that!!
Found at Casey Lake Park under the benches of the the thrid base dugout in the main baseball field!!
Gesshhh I dug there this morning!! Too short (5 clues) And tooooo easy (found on clue 2) Marley dont like the N St Paul hunt!! But thats ok it was still fun!!1
LL - Sorry about the expensive window. Sounds like something you can bill the kid for later but need to pay for now. Ouch. Hope things smooth out a bit for you soon.
We had to go to the store tonight for a couple things. Came out to find my one tire low. We drove it over to the Amoco and put air in it and got it home. It seems to be holding air for now...but who knows what the morning will bring. Maybe I'll have to take Inks to work.
Carazy day at work. Thought the auditors were done with us, but they sent an email with another involved question. Took me and one other person the afternoon to get that answered in the detail they wanted. At least they aren't at my office door every time I look up.
Clue #1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two cooler crews I never knew, Than “the coolerheads” and our Posse To stay out of the dark, search in a park While seeking the puck so glossy
You're all happy-bubbly, highly optimistic, and disgustingly sweet. Airhead? Maybe, considering you contain about 80% air.

because you're as addicted as the rest of us are.
I have a job interview today! I think it's just a short term job, but it pays well!
Good luck AW!
I wonder if they have support meetings for addicted cooler crew members?
O' wait! I suppose Buggs bar and Gabe's would qualify huh?

I haven't seen any medallionation contests around here.

Have I been rebellious?
or just naive again?
Take me2 to your leader!
