2003 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt - The Blair Witch Hunt

medallionator- where in the heck is your pic from?

Are there any rules when it comes to Medallionation?

did someone alreaday guess Hillcrest Rec Center?

Heya Leelabell. The year has had it's ups and downs. Am going to get married, but not this year. Hoping 2004.

Hmm, my first guess would be Mounds. Has someone guessed that already?

Duh. Man I hope I can get my noodle working before the hunt starts.

Yeah, I've got it going. I hope to give medallionation some consternation.

then your wedding date would be 2/4/2004

:) say.... 2pm in the afternoon
           with clue noodling at 4pm?

Sorry Me2. Not going to happen. *looks at Ares* What are you doing at that time? ;)

champagne along with that clue noodling?

Is Ares getting married, too?

THANK YOU AW for the noodlin' ;)

hmm. wednesday afternoon. i'm thinking i'm gonna be your best man :)

pardon the french, lee, but f*** no.

No. But I like to use him to deflect the "get married at the PP!" talk ;)

explain #3! I'm not gettin it!

hoping for an official response from the medallionators on that one.

Ares, your time will come. I work with some single girls :)

electoral college, and passing classes.

i know, lee. i'm just not planning on getting married anytime soon that is :)

Okay, I am a f'n idiot. When do I have to have my button registered by?

aahhhhh, Isee said the blind man!

Ares is enjoying the single life. He doesn't want to get wedallionated.

gonna have to try harder than that to deflect things like that to me, kids. i mean me2 and dal have already got everything planned for me there, except for a date and a bride. you may as well let them do the same for you. hey. its free planning. :)

Thanks Tim

I should know College - it is my favorite park and the one I picked in Allison's pool.

No thanks Ares. I'm sure they would do well, but we have our own ideas.

And Leelabell, I figured you would get it because you had it picked in the pool.

This little piggy stayed home, this little piggy did roam And if you use geometry as your form of math These two points will determine where you should comb If first you follow along their little piggy path.

In geometry, two points determine a line. What kind of line? Well when dealing with piggys, it must be a ham line (Hamline)

Maybe it's not the law, but it's good advice, ya Reading between the lines is often the right key Don't let what is there though put you in Bogata Let instead bookends be the rule to what you see

The bookends in this case refer to the first and last letter of each line which, when taken in order, spell out Marydale.

There will be no remorse if you stay on course, But don't think I'm trying to be directoral. You can't pass in this park without force, And don't mistake it for one that's electoral.

This is more or less a word association clue. There's an electoral college, and "course" and being able to "pass" also suggest a school.

Once upon a time in this little rhyme There was a man who always stood with legs spread. "If you put them together would it be a crime?" "I lean wide, a little problem of mine," he said.

"I lean wide a" is a homonym for "Eileen Weida"

If you want the pleasure of finding the treasure Then you're going to have to make use of your melon You can make the journey at your own leisure But you're going to need to seek the path of the felon.

The "path of the felon" is a "con way" (Conway)

sorry MacGrove--will post the rules and fun again...

the house is quiet, gonna go lay down for a while, have to go see chris tonight, visiting hours aren't untill 8:00. that really sucks, not gonna get home till 10:30 or so.

Thanks for the practice Allison, good clue writing!

me2 1/15/03 2:16pm

If I could write those in an hour, then hopefully the PP can write some decent ones too.

One would hope so.

I will call you tomorrow - the guys seam to want to go eat before McG's. I will update you.

Have the medallionators figured out which two get to go to Hawaii together, and who gets the groceries? That is, when you guys find it.

It would be Donnie and Jakey
I can see them now...hula skirts and fire walking pits

Crosby Farm will be my first shot at it.

So Me2...am I to assume I was incorrect???

And...if someone is correct...will you acknowledge it immediately or not until the answer is given after two clues.

I need to clarify- Mac Grov---...this is like the medhunt pool thread.

The first person to guess the park with out changing their answer will win. So say you change your answer and someone else posts it and they dont change their answer then they win

let me find the rules link on that.

also-If someone names the park after the first clue (like MedKids did in the first clue the first day) than he still has to wait til after the 2nd clue to see if he won- cause the answer is released at 3 pm.

If the answer is not given by 3 then 2 more clues will be given (note: that the next park for that evening will be null and only 1 park will be given that day instead of 2)

Tomorrow though- there will only be 2 clues cause I am going to the pre-hash bash

DID THAT MAKE SENSE- anyone wanna add to that?

So Me2...am I to assume I was incorrect???

Dont assume you were incorrect if you think thats the answer
IF someone has said the park then the answer will be revealed after clue #2 is given. otherwise you have until 3pm

ok-here it is... I hope I didn't confuse you :)

Same type of rules as the park pool- you can change your pick as many times as you want- but the person with the park picked first without changing there answer is the winner- so if you pick BC and then change to Harriet and someone else picks BC and the answer is BC then the the 'someone else' wins :) get it?

How late do folks stay at the pre-hash bash. I have yet to make it there...only the re-hash bashes.

We usually stay until Monday or Tuesday.

hehehehe

pre-hash--til bar-close and sometimes later
re-hash til about 4 ---maybe 5

but we get together the night the medallion is found also- usually we stay til bar-close that night too :)

the pity party, that started in newell
