2006 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by THX 1138 on
Mr. Med Hunter

MLT Worry-free Vacations was a sponsor in 2003, not in 2004, sponsored again in 2005 and not again in 2006. I think that there has been a drawing from the registration cards for a vacation and other prizes for quite a few years.

Just back from BC.

Gates closed.

There are human and dog tracks going in.

And coming out.

Saw a eagle or hawk out there.

Thats a long ways to go to walk your dog when you can't park there. Where did they come from? Why wouldn't they go somewhere that was open?

yeah- I was gonna say that today woulda been perfect

took a trip to BC yesterday - girls got to sled- beans fell on her face ---its ALL ICE out there! now snow covered ice!

OT

But still easier to walk on than the ice. I about killed myself walking my trash out night before last.

I've been to BC a lot of times when the gates are closed just to walk. No problem parking in the turn-around. It is kind of scary though when you get way in there and realize no one can see you from any roads and it's a long ways back to where you started.

I think it's going to be at the upper part of battle creek where the cross country ski trails are. Very Crosbyish out there, and not in a way in which Terry would be offended, in a lots of woods way.

I don't think Neck should be able to hunt. He works at the Casino and they are one of the Sponsors so he should be DISQUALIFIED and not even allowed in a park!!!

What happened to the nametags from last year's PDG? If I go topless I have a Hello My Name Is Tattoo on my chest, but that won't work for everyone.

I have my nametag from last year still.....

Of course now I have a hat with my name on it but that won't do me any good inside :pbpt:

you could tuck it in your pocket with "ots" sticking out of it.

That might work.... just so long as I don't let my OTiS hang out of the front I'll be okay :smile:

I still have one that somebody made a while ago....

It originally had the avatar of my cat on it, but I cut that part off, and now it only says "Wicked Nick"...

I could wear one of my thousands of name-tags saved from previous jobs, too....

Personally I like the one that Cub Foods had me wear, back a super-long time ago... the first couple of months that I was there, they couldnt seem to make me a name-tag, and instead gave me one that belonged to some guy who quit.... it says "Hello, My name is Lorenzo How may I assist you?"

I think I still have a few of my Violent J ones too, (i hold onto stuff, someday when Im famous, it'll all be worth money) Incase anyone wants to pretend to be me at the PDG?

We could pull something from one of those super-hero flicks.... I come, and then I leave to make a phone call and then VJ shows up... he leaves to go to the bathroom I come back...

It should work out pretty cool...

I'm already supposed to wear Hammer pants...

I'm sure a cape would look great with those...

same spot??

or just same park?

Yeah, same spot, it was just hidden differently.

Wicked Nick

What I wanna know, is... was I in the dream?

and if so, what was I wearing?

I only ask, because every time Ive found it (ive done that 3 times, in my lifetime), I was wearing pajammas...

not any ordinary ones, either... the kind with the feet on the bottoms... like little kids wear...

and I dont think Ive ever even owned anything like that.

ME2, Mapguy, and Cluemaster were with me both times.

so u found a post-it note than??

that doesn't count.
Wed, 01/18/2006 - 8:27 AM Permalink
Wicked Nick

Huh....

that sounds like the Capture The Flag hunt, at Mounds Park... only... you know.. without the cops and stuff...

In that case, I'll guess that I was indeed there.... just... off someplace, peeing in the woods or something... whatever it is, that I do in other peoples dreams.

No, we found the medallion. It was white with the Pioneer Press hunt logo aka the snowman with the magnifying glass.

We do fun nametags for our get-togethers. They are just the sticker ones but they usually say:

Nerd Name : Samantha

Porn Star Name: Moxie VonSukisuki

or stuff like that. We've done Porn Star, Redneck, 80's one hit wonder etc.

Makes it fun.
