Congrats OT!!!!!

I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!- I am placing the letter (with his signature) with my book after I answer it.
Knowing you, you will have it by then if you go out tonight (wave to me :wink:
haha
Im not venturing out til morning
If the tickets were still 'in play' than I woulda gone tonight but since there isnt a prize and I know I got the right place than Im fine with that
I even figured out where in the park
I expect cm left work a bit early to get over there- I also expect that he will find it
and their are bums - I see them some mornings with newspapers and sleeping on benches
The Mamas & The Papas
(Phillips-Gilliam)
John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
Zally said "Denny, you know there aren't many"
"Who can sing a song the way that you do, let's go south"
Denny said "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish"
"I could play guitar like you"
Zal, Denny and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
But she changed her mind one day
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
"Take me to New York right away"
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps
Don't you work as hard as you play
Make up, break up, everything is shake up
Guess it had to be that way
Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire
In L.A., you know where that's at
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
Di-di-di-dit dit dit di-di-di-dit, who-o-oa
------ flute ------
Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea
Cass can't make it, she says we'll have to fake it
We knew she'd come eventually
Greasin' on American Express cards
It's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefinitely
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality
i've been for a walk on a winters dayI'd be save and warm if I was in LA california dreaming on such a winters day
stepped into a church I passed along the way well, I got down on my knees andI pretended to pray you know the preacher likes the cold he knows I'm gonna stay
california dreaming on such a winters day
instrumental
all the leaves a brown and the sky is grey I've been for a walk on a winters day
if I didn't tell her I could leave today
california dreaming on such a winters day
in irvine...

..

I went right to it without clue 3s help- IF I had clue 3 like that I woulda had it on clue 3
I got:
Exchange st
the fountain
and irvine california
too many rock references -there arnt any rocks in Irvine
I love that park though-
thanks bear
Well you ROCK and that counts! Good job me2!
     down a raft not far away
     'twas a plan so bold,
     took 12 days to unfold
     that the legend be kept to stay
A park along the river valley.
#2B - Marley was dead, was how one hunt started
      but get the right tale, don't be downhearted
      Dickens was good, but to find the bling
      find the tail with the far far better thing
Far Far better thing is from "Tale of Two Cities" - so, Minneapolis or St. Paul.
#3B - True to fold, a stop sign laid down
      Has eight sides and a building around
      Behind a white wall, find your fare
      In a small bag sits a small bear
Hidden in a plastic bag in the gazebo at Irvine park. This is a new clue since the original one told of it being hidden in a Chicago bulls toy basketball.
#4B - Time to get hunting, to start out and look
      Getting into a park and out of a book
      but before you go out, into the fray
      An eastern field general leads your way
The Ramsey house is up the block. Ramsey is a QB for the Redskins. Gets you to St. Paul.
#5B - I hate to mix metaphors
       But I like football scores
       And I've got a question for ye:
       The moose says to the caribou,
       "What is it I've in common with you?"
Both moose and caribou have: Four Paws.
#6B - Soo whee! Say the pigs
      and the rockers with no gigs
      who have no where else to go
      the Italians aint right,
      just in case though, when you're there,
      just to be safe - purse and blow
The Soo line railroad runs to the south of the park.
#7B - A different kind of game
      For the man of the same name
      If you start 20,000 leagues under
      For that is the tone,
      When looking for clones,
      At 19 with beer and no blunder
Same name as Jules Verne that's a clone would be Verne Troyer, who as Mini me would play mini golf at the science museum near the park.
#8B - The holiday season is about to roll in
      but don't let your spirits go fallin
      Tis better to give, than to get burned
      but if they gift wrong it can all be returned
If you don't like your gifts, you can EXCHANGE them. Exchange runs next to the park.
#9B - True to the matter, a street has been given
      But kind of obscure, like comedy of David Niven
      He's not all that funny, no need to talk smack
      You might need ballet, it's a tough crack
If you had a ballet for help, you'd be able to Crack the nut of Walnut street, that runs right into the park.
#10B - A day like this, the sun isn't shining
       It should be all sunny, and then there's no whining
       Leave out the ham sandwich, Mamma Cass would agree
       California Dreamin' is, today what you should be
California Dreamin - Irvine Park.
11B - Ponce De Leon, a Florida Gator
      Tried looking like you did, so don't be a hater
      It's right in the middle, then off to the side
      the hanging garlands fill you with pride
Ponce De Leon searched for the fountain of youth, just like you searching for the fountain in the middle of Irvine Park.
for what its worth....
moose and caribou have hooves...not paws
bears and dogs have paws..
heh :wink:
A: Get another sweet little 80-year-old lady to yell *BINGO*!

and tale of two cities
I didnt get 4 paws---geeesh
or the nut cracker - NICE
way good clues
actually I can, because I wasn't paying attention. and ramsey is the backup in Wash.
where is the brunell house? :pbpt:
But I like football scores
And I've got a question for Kitch:
The moose says to the caribou, and also to you,
"What is it we've in common with you?"
A: All clapping their paws together in celebration of Me2.
Nice job redbear...
thanks for your time and effort!!!
