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
They are Tax Collectors with me and volunteers in every aspect of carnival that you can think of. Tons of fun!
oooh. personal joe!
Twins
Off the Gravel
Thick lederhosen = Hockey Pants
Sorry - still stuck on the idea of Hockey ice on top of a Baseball infield
Even if I am correct and this is a reference to Battle Creek Rec, God help us - that only narrows it down to about 1/2 the park land in the County
Thus, those creepy creatures are the opposite of what hey really are and may contain a clue. But what could they be opposite of? Such as the movie Avatar when the solider who lost his legs could walk and run in Pandora, and the Science gal was young and pretty in Pandora. Another cool avatar movie was out this summer, and more along that opposite thing: always young, pretty, buff, etc. you can even change your race, etc.
I also can't help but think Cool Crewers have "avatars" we go by other names, don't usually show our photos, so maybe it's a play on coller crew...?
hear me out......
Clue #1
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 - CROSBY WAS A FARM
Emerge from the den as we once again - CROSBY HAS HELD PUCK PRIOR
Offer a bodacious bounty
And this tip to the frozen: bring thick lederhosen
To public land in Ramsey County
Clue #2
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.
melissa ethridge is the bleepin heathen - who has had partners who have had kids with crosby's sperm - ethridges current partner has twins by "annonymous" donor who is again rumored to be crosby...
Clue #3
Look high, look low, wherever you go
Follow a picturesque route
There are ways to travel away from the gravel - CROSBY HAS SEVERAL GRAVEL TRAILS
That keep you in hot pursuit
THOUGHTS?
The social media avatar world is "Second Life." I had to join for a class of mine, we actually "met" in a Virtual World with our professor. Weird way to have a class, but fun.
I wonder if we'll get a doppelganger or a vampire in one of the videos?
so gravel = road
stay away from the road? but other ways to travel around the park?
If you "listen to each avatar" as in that clue, maybe look at James Goodhue stuff.
Sir soot, Klondike Kate, and pioneer press (if you take our mother to mean PP) all have first and last names that start with the same letter.
Maybe this is the twins reference. So maybe our park is named similarly.
In 1849, newspaper editor James Goodhue envisioned Saint Paul as the crossroads of the continent,
where east met west and thriving commerce brought prosperity. He called for a National bridge crossing
the Mississippi River. That vision became the bridge at Wabasha Street.
Goodhue pushed for the Wabasha Bridge, going into Harriet Island/Rasberry Island
pedestrian access to the island from the south bank.
Hilarious.
THOSE are the once blessed with twins! Raspberry and Harriet Islands!

MM - we were there last evening. Though I love the food, I can't eat there every night. Glad you are able to get out and about.
We did a little run around scouting this evening. Found the gravel at the asphalt place. But there is nothing picturesque about any path from that place.
We did a quick drive up Pierce Butler in case we're just so used to driving it that we might have missed gravel piles - but nope.
I've had a thought. Marydale has the playground area with the sand (gravel?) that also contains a fire truck (Vulcans?) and moving anywhere from that would bring you along the Loeb Lake where in many areas there are high spots and lower spots and it's quite picturesque.
hoping that i'm still in one of those 2, tonight....
Double letter name (twins)
Harriet isn't listed on the do not hunt list.
I took Friday-Thursday off,3 of the days are unpaid cause I used all my saved vacay on Marcus' FMLA.
If one of you fie tushes finds this thing you should hook a sista up.
