    OT, I may have slogged this wrong but just to clarify, all registration cards MUST be postmarked.

    In other words, yes, they would send you away if you try to drop it at the office.

    Apparently there have been problems in the past at verification without postmarks.

    Thanks for clarifying that. It's really a non-issue at this point though. I think it was mid-60's when we did this. I had forgotten to get it to the post office, so we just drove downtown to their office. Ever since that I've gotten them in the mail with time to spare. :smile:

    actually....they just look at you blankly when you try to turn it in. last year i thought i'd be smart and turn them in at the office since i bought them during the landmark show...i filled out ALL FOUR registrations and they had a basket of registrations on the desk so i asked, "mind if i toss these in the basket?" and they just gave this "whatever" look.

    needless to say, i realized that i was a retard and went to SA to buy another button and registered it before the deadline. :cool:

    OK, I'm trying to figure this out.

    ... talk about being tax collectors, selling buttons

    now, the tax collectors work for the King, right?

    These Vulcan-loving chicks are secretly (openly?) working for the King?

    :smile: :grin: :eek: :wink: :ooh: :confused:

    2 years ago I brought my cards into the WC office-they took them. I'm sure the postoffice is glad that a postmark IS REQUIRED so they make money on the deal-

    techniqually though, all I have to do is run my cards through our postmark postal machine (on the 3rd floor) and walk upstairs and hand them to the woman postmarked -then I forsure know they got them! :smile:

    Just know that after the drawing-your address and information will be thrown away in the Landmark dumpster unshredded!

    mr. jelly donut medallion stuffer

    bud light presents: real american heroes

    (real american heroes)

    today we salute you, mr. jelly donut medallion stuffer

    (mr. jelly donut medallion stuffer)

    many a night you pondered the question "how can i get some jelly and a medallion shoved into a plain powdered donut's blowhole?"

    (in the blowhole!)

    inspiration, and perspiration, led you to invent the answer: the jelly squirter will create enough lubricant

    (super squirter!)

    late at night, all night, you worked your squirter so that we could wake up satisfied and enjoy our breakfast jelly with a medallion inside treat

    (work work work work work your squirter!)

    so crack open an ice cold bud light mr. jelly doughnut medallion stuffer, nobody else takes it to the hole quite the way you do.

    alright, now that I'm back from my vacation and catching up to speed, I need to start prepping for the hunt..

    Gotta get my todo list setup.

    Get buttons

    Send button registrations in

    Finish medallion coordinate list (I've got an idea that requires this to be done)

    Check/test winter clothing/gear

    Clear Ramsey County of any active caches I haven't found

    Work on Saint Paul Parks list/database (might still be a work in progress, hard to say how much I can get done)

    Submit time off request (probably not the whole hunt, but more towards the end)

    I'm sure there's more, but gotta start somewhere.

    today we salute you, mr. annoying flashy headlamp guys

    (mr. annoying flashy headlamp guys)

    more than any neon sign or exploding scoreboard ever could, your blinkys says "hey guys, look at me"

    (Its not intimidating)

    Even if the tempature is roasting hot 90 degees you'd keep covered like a Ninja in a sauna.

    (your scarfs are all slimey inside)

    You get out of a mini-van like cheezy bank robbers and stand in line by yourselves without saying a word to anybody.

    (even Jake doesn't bite)

    so crack open an ice cold bud light for the mr. we are too ugly to show our faces, then crack open another for them since they won't even show their face for a sip.

    (have one for them)

    today we salute you, mr. amateur medallion hunter guy

    (mr. amateur medallion hunter guy)

    after a night of drinking with the buddies, it didn't occur to you that a coat would be a good idea

    (your mother wouldn't be happy)

    armed with only your shoes to kick snow and a plastic spork from wendys you dare to dream

    (what is a registered button?)

    if it weren't for you mr. amateur medallion hunter guy, no one would ever find that elusive medallion

    (certainly not the cooler crew)

    so crack open an ice cold bud light for mr. amateur medallion hunter, because the more you drink, the less annoying the frostbite is

    (ouch ouch ouch ouch, ouch it burns)

    today we salute you, mr. I didn't register my button medallion finder guy

    (mr. I didn't register my button medallion finder guy)

    after poking at that odd colored thing in the snow, it hit you like a ton of bricks

    (and where are your clues?)

    You stand there wondering why all these people stare at you with look of hate

    (daggers from the eyes)

    if it weren't for you mr. I didn't register my button medallion finder guy, we would all be having a few more free drinks with a lucky cooler

    (another wasted 5 grand)

    so crack open an ice cold bud light for mr. I didn't register my button medallion finder guy, because the more you drink, the less chance you'll stumble across our prize

    (Mr. I'm running outta vacation days guy)

    You are afraid of calling in sick because you don't want to get in trouble. So you hunt all night and sleep at work instead

    (is it nap time yet?)

    You sit at your computer all day long just re-googling an easy clue all day long.

    (its not an anagram.........windowlicker)

    if it weren't for you mr.I'm running outta vacation days guy, the parks would be boring in the middle of the night

    (better off to stay at the bar)

    so crack open an ice cold bud light for mr.I'm running outta vacation days, because the more you work, the greater your chance you can find an good anagram that is worthless anyways.

    (you got extra letters left over)
