13th Annual Rehash Bash and Other End of the Winter Carnival Festivities
Sunday, January 31, 2010
Newell Park Pavilion
900 N. Fairview Ave.
Saint Paul, MN 55104
11:30am-2:30pm
The 13th Annual Rehash Bash will be held on Sunday, January 31, 2010, at Newell Park, from 11:30am to 2:30pm. As always, its a potluck, and since we\'ve got the building, there will be plenty of power indoors for crock pots. Donations will be accepted to cover the $136 cost for renting the facility. MrMnMikey has some door prizes available. Since this isn\'t Super Bowl Sunday this year, if people want to stick around past the 2:30 closing time, we can start a fire in one of the fire rings.
In addition, many of us long-time Coolerheads are loyal servants of Vulcanus Rex. Join us for the Vulcan Victory Torchlight Parade, followed by the Vulcan Victory Dance. Information on the Parade Route is from the 2006 Vulcan Krewe. The best places for viewing the parade are going to be at the end of the parade route, as His Majesty, Vulcanus Rex LXXIII, the true King of the Winter Carnival, overthrows that other guy on the steps of the St. Paul Central Library, across from Rice Park

When January’s slanting snow,
Makes us dream of Mexico
St. Paul emerges from Wintery sleep
To search for treasure buried deep
Notice to every hunting battalion,
We have hidden the Pioneer Press Medallion
Where? You ask in husky shout,
That’s for us to know, and you to find out
Turn off the tube, leave your hovel
Grab your walking stick and shovel,
Whether you be giant or runt,
The only way is to join the hunt
For to the hunter belongs the spoil,
Hunt by day, or Midnight oil,
Hunt in boot and sturdy glove,
Hunt with pal, or old true love
For you who hunt each and every year,
We raise a lusty St. Paul cheer
“Good Luck”
And now, let us be blunt,
Get off thy duff, and hunt, hunt, hunt

All hail, O Fire King, of thee we sing
Thy blast of winter heat scorches
When ice was like concrete it would\'ve been so sweet
If the Vulcans plowed with their torches
Emerge from the den as we once again
Offer a bodacious bounty
And this tip to the frozen: bring thick lederhosen
To public land in Ramsey County
Clue #1 Video
Hear ye all crews, now come the clues
For this task I am the Czar
With each rhyming gift, this shape I will shift
Listen well to each avatar
Kissed by a Vulcan, she left him sulkin\'
\"Sir Soot, I\'ll not forgive these sins!\"
Her airs Elizabethan, her language, bleepin\' heathen,
Our mother once blessed us with twins.
Look high, look low, wherever you go
Follow a picturesque route
There are ways to travel away from the gravel
That keep you in hot pursuit
Code by Morse should set your course
To long dashes that dot the landscape.
You or your avatar should park your car
On your way to this great escape.
Take a westerly tack up from the stack,
A landmark most uncouth.
Figures grand in scale point to a trail
Of footprints left by our sleuth.
You\'ll want to go shopping where things are hopping
And storeowners once dropped anchor
Go down the main drag, but be sure not to lag,
You\'ll have plenty for which to thank her
Escape your troubles where the water bubbles
Or gurgles like a stream.
You may be chargin\' right up to the margin.
Look for a productive seam.
Down on the delta where there\'s no ice to melta
The purple horde raids a golden legion
Today before kick off the prize you\'ll pick off
If you search in just the right region
To find the seed, energy you need
In search for your clues to glean
What once was planted is taken for granted
Stored in one of fifteen
Not far from stones and ancient bones
Lay clues that are fit for Jim
Lure the egrets to yield all secrets
And you should satisfy him
Get your kicks by hitting the bricks
Admiring the trees and view
Be ever glad hopping pad to pad
Like amphibians in\'52
Stonehenge tumbled down near a crumbled town
Not far from the lights of the city
If you would hike away from the pike
You might stumble on something pretty
Upstream from the landing lay a place in good standing
Where people prayed, God willin\'
Now midst the cocklebur and rusted spur
Is nothing by murder and killin\'
This park is a sliver, from ancient beds to a river
In neither is the prize to be found
Look for the goods among timber and woods
Do not dig in the fossil ground
Go for a lark in Lilydale Park
Between Water Street and the river
The city boundary sign and the old rail line
Define the zone that will deliver
You\'re outside the pale if you\'re close to the rail
It\'s not to be found near the tracks
Be nice and cooperative, respect private property
On public land launch your attacks
Within this area lies medallion hysteria
A tangle near the river - not too close!
About four dozen paces from the waterline to places
Where you should tromp, dig and freeze your nose
I know the Vulcan references are pretty carnival specific, but could they actually be referring to the Star Trek Vulcans?
I think the video will be back. I'm betting they are cleaning it up due to all the complaints they were getting.
I was actually offended by this guy.
We've been kicked out in the past but not with attitude.
I told him he better be giving an extra 15 minutes over every night from here on out. so last night was 12. tonight 1215 tomorrow 1230. he was a jerk.
good digging.
why are you showering in slowmotion? :wink:
But there was something along the lines of : in Elizabethan times, there was not much to do - no tv, limited games, etc. so they would play with words, and the article that I read mentioned specifically that they would twist words into long sentences with a spiteful bite at the end. Similar in nature to Klondike Kates sharp wit. I wish I had put that together before, I would have favorited the website...
So some woman was very angry.
Did Kate or Jamie get real angry in the newspaper or something?
I like the end of the word "be than"
someone snooty. nose in the air.
so is this how we got to klondike kate, she is a proper lady but she talks vulgar behind the scenes?
Elizabethan English is a wonderfully colorful language full of numerous evocative words and phrases. Elizabethans took a delight with language and it is fitting, then, that this would filter into the art of mudslinging. Thier mastery of language was often showcased in the clever weaving together of terms to form stinging phrases of wit. Remember this was a time when the average person did not read, and other forms of entertainment were not readily available, but good conversation acted as a substitute.

Have a great day :smile:
If its in refrence to a city it would be St Paul / North St Paul.
Twins could also be in refence to a park with a golf cource.
Also, I have a message in my box. I clicked "save" so the blinking would stop. Now, how do I access it again? I can't seem to find a link for my mailbox.
one of those back of the mind wheels turning but then forgot.
thanks for the reminder to get the wheels thinking on that idea again.
"Fie!" is used a general exclamation of disgust.
An example of Shakespeare's use of the word:
Fie, fie! unknit that threatening unkind brow,
And dart not scornful glances from those eyes,
Some common phrases using "Fie!"
"Oh, Fie!"
"Fie and fie again!"
"Fie upon it!" or "Fie upon that!" or "Fie upon you!"
"Tush!" is a more mild exclamation than "fie". The word is used alone in a sentence (for instance you would not say "Tush upon you!" It sounds silly). It's hard to equate this to a term in the modern lexicon as it is similar to some, yet synonymous with none.
An example of the word's use in a sentence:
Oh tush, sirÂ… you gave me a fright you didÂ…
"Go to!" is an exclamation akin to our modern "Get outta here!" and/or "Really?" It is also used to tell a person to take their leave.
An example of the use of "Go to!" in a sentence:
Go to, you're a dry fool; I'll no more of you:
besides, you grow dishones
I'm also thinking a lot of you are seriously over-thinking Clue #1 - it does sometimes apply to the hunt, but a lot of the time it's just 'Public Land'.
As far as the Videos go, I think the way they are presented have very little to do with the content of the Clues themselves - the Clue Writer(s) is just having a ball throwing in the creepy costumes and delivery - it's 10,000 more items of information to process, making the text clues themselves harder to concentrate on. The videos may develop a pattern of something relevant, but I really don't think you'll see anything until maybe Clue 5 or so.
I'll send out my spin after work - my 2nd break is over and I need to get back - I strained my back shoveling near my house last night and I gotta lift a ton of heavy shit at work today - got a brace and ice pack - but it's still not fun.

Kate (also Katherina) is a fictional character and the female romantic lead in the comedy The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. Kate is the elder, outspoken daughter of Baptista Minola and the sister of apparently sweet-tempered Bianca. Kate's headstrong ways and sharp tongue initially make her poor material for a wife,
I just don't understand why it had to remove its arm. Not only that but why bother trying to put it back in its socket? So very odd...
Going back to the thoughts on the twins from last night, the Press and the Dispatch, if I remember correctly (I was young then.) you didn't need to read both to figure out where the medallion was hidden. Of course, reading both would certainly give you an advantage. Well, what if that's what this is about...that you can find the medallion while only reading the paper but if you have internet access, the videos will give you even more insight?
Elizabethan Period
The Elizabethan Period was the age of the Renaissance, of new ideas and new thinking. The introduction of the printing press during the Renaissance, one of the greatest tools in increasing knowledge and learning, was responsible for the interest in the different sciences and inventions - and the supernatural!
The Elizabethan Era!
The English Elizabethan Era is one of the most fascinating periods in the History of England. The Elizabethan Era is named after the greatest Queens of England - Queen Elizabeth I. The Elizabethan Era is not only famous for the Virgin Queen but also for the era itself - Great Explorers, such as Sir Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh. The era of the very first Theatres in England - William Shakespeare, the globe Theatre and Christopher Marlowe! The people of the era - the Famous Figures who featured in the history of this era such as the Queen's love Robert Dudley, the sinister Dr. John Dee, the intrigues of the spy-master Sir Francis Walsingham and the Queen's chief advisor Sir William Cecil (Lord Burghley). Religion - Politics - Executions - Crime and Punishment all played their part in the Elizabethan era! And so did the commoners!
