Clue #1 You've joined the hunt for the regal runt
To prove searching does pay
Don't dig a hole or knock down a pole
And the golf course is out of play
Last year Jake took home the cake
With a clue a bit off level
This year we'll rinse off all our prints
Lest this hunt go to the devil
Clue #2 The point of all this is so that you won't miss
Your big chance to grab all the cash
Now gather your guys and a gal who is wise
You'll have to do something quite rash
Clue #3 We've scanned the county to hide our bounty
And keep you on your toes
It may sound risible, but our puck's invisible
Although it might just stick to your nose.
Clue #4 How fun is the snow how far will we go
You really ought to go see
Get up for the mission and not just the wishin'
Get into the game-it's all free
Clue #5 There once was a clue that drove you-know-who
To threaten a heinous act
We'd use it again but we're afraid of his pen
My friend, that's an unfortunate fact
Clue #6 All ye who look should honor the book
As one who stood for hope
Much was built in the name of the kilt
Look sharp now and never mope
Clue #7 If you should go look high then low
One could see it from a bower
If it's your bent you might seek a tent
To protect in case of shower
Take note of the wood and do what you should
To extract the prize for yourself
Build a bridge to your dreams as high as they seem
Leave nothing behind on the shelf
Clue #8 Look at the buck to acquire good luck
In finding the grail this year
Link a jar,a line, a star lawyer divine
While crying in your beer
He won, then lost and the nation was tossed
Into strife that was far from civil
The point I'm making is yours for the taking
Believe me - not the message board drivel
Clue #9 This name brings tears, elation and cheers
And occasionally even outrages
It sits on walls and rides the halls
And fills a dozen pages
The hills are alive and you'll have arrived
Refrain from the very injurious
Be bold and be brave but your skin you must save
What's off-limits should frankly be obvious
Clue #10 Look for the sight you hope is just right
You're doubtful and you're torn
Make the rounds for what rhymes with grounds
And part of a rose with a horn
Through flames and flow this park where you'll go
Is the site of sacred relics
Stay away from these and the cliffs if you please
Or you'll be in a heckuva fix
Clue #11 Air and river sounds lead all to Mounds
Far from the graves take your entourage
Twixt Burns and Thorn, an icy pathway is born
Across Mounds from a gray house and tan garage
Hell no fury hath as those on the wrong path
Mounds and Warner form a woodsy perimeter
The path not official contains footprints beneficial
Some 300 trudges in - quest for a quitter
This trail you must follow goes down a narrow hollow
Under a fallen tree to an old rusted drum
From here you must search for a hillside path perch
Wherein lies the center of fun

Awesome seeing Dave having so much fun too...
DDY Dave? Yeah. I'll never forget the silly things we did together in some of the Hunts and filming.
One of his friends did a sketch? drawing? from a photo of him. He had it when we went to the Barb-B-Que thighy with Scott Hanson and the other comedians. I really liked it and said so. He sent it to me! I have it on my wall in the living room.
And about the dozen pages? Who knows. I don't. Unl..
Pooh! Got it! Rails is a binary code, some kind' application and Web PAGES uses it.
Nice. I'm happy rite where I am in the park.
In this case ittiz one of those eye thighys. You know what I mean? No matter where you are or move to, DDY's eyes follow you. Ittiz a VERY GOOD drawing. He has on his lumberjack hat. I just LOVE it. Ittiz very DDY.
I like! I think we finally have the answer to the second half of the riddle...
The second stanza just tells you, frankly, what part o'the park is off limits and to be bold and brave and head to the other part.
I think. :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin:
But, I think ittiz the area.
my impressions (besides being run though every park back there in the 4 days I missed)
This name brings tears, elation and cheers
And occasionally even outrages
It sits on walls and rides the halls
And fills a dozen pages
= graffiti http://www.graffiti.org/ - not sure how I'm tying it in yet.
and some how I keep coming back to things being gang related also from that - ya'll don't have a bunch of bloods and crypts tho in your burbs.. do ya?
Kilt = kilt lifter Scottish Ale = beer. crying in beer.
some people will refer to a buck as a hundred - you weigh a buck fifty in slang.
now, I must go ice my ankle where i got kicked by a hippo in my soccer game last night, and try to get the swelling down before my game tonight. Perhaps a noodle will come to me as I catch up on work.
I wasn't planning on posting this one here, because I felt like it was giving away too much, but I figure what the heck. In fact, I started second guessing myself anyway based on the mason jar/mason line/perry mason idea, which seemed to have merit. Anyway- you guys can take this as you will...
Clearly the clue references the Civil War, which leads to Lincoln, who won the election, then lost his life. Lincoln is on the $5 bill. If you look at the reverse of the bill, you'll see the Lincoln Memorial. At the base of the steps on either side are what appear to be large jars. If you fold the bill on each side so that the jars align with the pillars (a line) then fold the bill again in the center of Lincoln so that those points all meet (or link), the letters of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA will read "IT(s) AT" and the letters of LINCOLN MEMORIAL will have been reduced to COMO.
Can anybody verify this? I don't have a 5 I can use. Interesting if it's true, though.
(this just came to me, as I was wandering work looking for popcorn)

post about the carnival - prior post is MLK and the sinking dollar.. (buck?)
LOL
that'd be a shot below the belt from the PP if that's what it's referring to
kinda like a 'good luck f'ers'
You can fold a 5 dollar bill to look like that, but the folds are too small and make no logical pattern as described.
Cute though.
Edit: I take that back. You can't make it look like that, the AT in "States" would have to be folded together to make Lincoln Memorial spell como....
makes me think you have to look up into like a hole or something, then look down into the hole to see it.
I can't find it, but there was a good bye like poem that we had to learn in school (like 3rd grade ish) that refernces bowes in trees and keeping something safe. It was english and i remember the spellig being bowes rather than boughs - hmm. & it's not the sir thomas wyatt one. I wonder if i still have it somewhere.
See ya out there.

1. Your $5 bill will have almost disintegrated.
2. You'll have wasted a lot of time you could have otherwise been trying to figure out these clues...
Whoever it was on the PP boards that posted it probably accomplished their goal of getting everyone else side tracked for awhile... :pbpt:
Rushing River.. heh - ya'll are in the wrong state. I'll pick it up later today on my way home as I cross right over Russian River. lol.
also the pyramid building is in SF, clearly - you are all looking in the wrong state.
