2006 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

I think it would be fun to break out midway into the night. yeah Kitch.....

i'll take the tequila shots. thanks.

I don't get it.

There was a computer game made in Japan that when they translated the words, it did not come out as proper English structure. Thus, the "All your base are belong to us" internet phenomenon was born. Watch OTS' link to see what I mean. OTS-On the search 4/14/05 3:45pm

Website containing history, more photoshop editing, etc. Pretty funny stuff.

The second one was a spoof based on the original one however they used the tourist of death to add a little more flavor to it.

Heres the true story of the tourist guy for those who care :)

Sorry, I did get it. I was joking in Homer Simpson style.

I don't get it.

Wow! I didn't know ducks ate robins either!

Just so you guys know and in case you missed it- I'm wise.:)

Oriongirl! I'll keep you in my prayers for a safe surgery and a quick recovery. Hey, there's not a group rate is there?:)

Masser, I'm glad all went well for you today. You were in our thoughts and prayers. I am a bit disappointed that you not gonna be the bionic man though...oh, well I can still pretend.:)

Oh damn I actually had something else...

oh yeah.

Let me first say as a disclaimer that I am not bringing this up to start any shit...THIS IS ONLY AN IDEA that I am interested in a GENERAL consensus on:

Okay-

What do you all think about switching the pre-dig to the upstairs party room at Great Waters? They will even make a beer for us and call it "Cooler Brew".

This is only an idea that I have talked with Liam about. I said that I would have to ask and get a GENERAL CONSENSUS before we could make any commitments.

Now people, lets have this discussion without fighting.:)

 

Having seen the upstairs area
<----- (Area not ares) that you are talking about and the facilites i.e. private bathrooms and space....I think everyone here would enjoy it.....

Just my personal opinion.

The room is MUCH bigger then Mcgoverns!

NOOOO! Ducks do not eat robins- robins eat worms like ducks!
Geeze! Do you hafta pick on me so much?

Oh- I get it- on that super turbo hemmoragic thread, you all conspired to pick on me out of hate & spite.
I'd rather a public smoting.
Or be slewn disgustingly in private by use of flesh eating leeches.
Or a roadside stoning during rush-hour with Kare11 on the scene.

I'm sorry.
Damn me once again.
Want some worms?
I have worms.

Wait. Robins eat ducks?

Geez, would you make up your mind already?

Wait. Robins eat ducks?

No, I think he is saying that robins eat worms that look like ducks?

I bet those are the gajillion dollar worms she was talking about.

Hey, KT, we could breed those and sell them on ebay...

Well I would duck too if a worm was eating robins.

[Edited by on Apr 14, 2005 at 07:34pm.]

I have worms.

They have medicines for that now KT.

oooh worms on ebay...that would be a great way to make money.

Did you say you were hungry for worms?

[Edited by on Apr 14, 2005 at 07:35pm.]

UMMMM, okay.

KT will you kick Otis's ass for Pay Me?

 

good....many thanks to both of you!

What do you all think about switching the pre-dig to the upstairs party room at Great Waters? They will even make a beer for us and call it "Cooler Brew".

don't have to ask me 2x....

"coolerbrew"!!! woooohoooo!! I wonder if they would let FROSTI help!!!

I like the idea.....

Hows that work out Scribe....Cost vs Free... what can we get with the room.... what would it cost...

[Edited by on Apr 14, 2005 at 07:44pm.]

I figured that you would like the idea Kitch.:)

Seriosly though, the subject came up because we seem to be overcrowded at McGoverns.

Liam showed me the facilities at GW and they were really great. Lots of room for us to grow, food, our own brew etc.

I do realize there is an issue with tradition. I am not opposed to keeping it at McGovern's either.

This is just another option for us.

GW is willing to waive the rental fee. There may be an extra charge if we want food catered by them. Quite frankly I didn't get into to many specifics because I wanted everyone's opinions first.

I understand tradition.....and I also know crowded.

I like it crowded ;)
actually I am not sure how or why I like a crowded CoolerCrew at pre-hash since I am closterphobic to a point.

Crowded was what I noticed. This past year was my first time to the pre-dig and we had a hard time moving around in that basement. Also, it is split into two rooms which seemed to split everyone up into two groups. We had a good time though.

McGovern's has been the tradition, but it is getting overcrowded. Is this room at the Great Waters bigger than the basement level at McGovern's? Is that what I read?

If so, I'd be open to having a discussion about it. We certainly want more people to join us for the pre-dig in years coming.

I just happen to be poking around and saw some stuff on the size..... If I'm not mistaken..... The area is L shaped....and 6 or 7 times the size of McGovern's... then again it was a quick glance... so Scribe?

I'm not sure that this would be the case, but would parking be worse there for a big crowd? Otherwise I wouldn't mind. I think Green is the one you'd have to sell on the idea.

Parking at McGovern's has gotten progressively worse.

Allison - You might be right about Green - McGovern's has been the tradition....but we are outgrowing McGovern's.

Scribe - It would be good to know about food costs as there seemed to be plenty of folks, including us, that had our dinner during the evening.

Is this the place? The banquet room is "available for groups of 100-300 people".

yep thats the one:)

I know this.....the bartenders at GW love us!!!

they really really do....

everytime I've gone in after the hunt (3x now) somebody talks to me about medallion hunting...its weird....cool...makes me wanna go back all summer long...

I was there last Friday night after going to the Ordway. I was telling everyone I was with about how they had a patio with ice furniture and Winter Carnival Ale and so on.

Well, doesn't McGoverns always give us crap when we call to tell them we're coming (the exception being this past year with no hockey)? I always remember wondering why we keep giving them our business, but the answer has always been A) tradition and B) because there is no place else. Now that there is another place, I would be for moving it (bigger room->less smoky=maybe I won't wake up sick the next morning).

As far as parking, you have the victory ramp, the ramp for marshall fields (not sure what thats called) and there is a ground lot kitty corner from it. I think parking is actually better at GW than McGoverns.

That being said, how much is it going to suck for me if there is a cooler crew brew when I will be 20 and half... oh well :(

[Edited by on Apr 14, 2005 at 08:24pm.]

TIM...is the reason we need to get FROSTI to help brew it...

I don't get it.

If frosti helps brew it...he could brew a batch at home...

Or you could just buy me some, you underage drinking enabler you.

Keep dreaming....

but I might consider buying one ...and sticking in my fridge for u to drink on your b-day....might be a little skunky...but since u don't know what beer tastes like you won't know the difference.

At least with GW we have parking options in every direction....

The view of outside isn't bad either ;)

I like the initials too.

3M already has the sign made lol

plus gw is closer to ma press, as well as farther from the x, in the event of an event parking night.
