2002 Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt

Submitted by THX 1138 on

Noodle the clues here if you wish

Allison Wonderland

Hmmm, seems another clue, another day of confusion. I see I've been accused of being evil. Wait until the clue explanations come out and you can judge that for yourself. Mwah ha ha.

FYI, I did major in theater and I drive a black Toyota Corolla, but I have been purposely avoiding going to any parks so as not to give anyone and extra hints or false hopes.

AW - Are you happening to mark the posts that hit a clue on the head first? Or park? (without the park being included in a huge list of parks that is)
So we won't need to slogg back to see who hit what and when.

Does that mean you're going back out searching tonight or do you mean something like under the covers?

I've been keeping it in my head, but no, I haven't been marking specific posts. I suppose maybe I could.

AW-you have an instant message....I am going to bed....I was noodling a bit and thought I would check in one last time before heading up.

Well have a good night Me2. Better luck tomorrow perhaps. Remember, we'll be doing a 6pm clue revealing at Buggs Bar. And this next clue is one of my favorites.

"I suppose maybe I could."

That would be cool as a second E-mail/post when the explanations come out.

I was referring to surfing some info in another window and popping back here only once in awhile although it looks like I'm on all the time.

Hey - DJ - You ever spin in Cottage Grove?

Lonely noodle...

I feel that we need to address..

"To avoid falling into a useless sort of fling" from clue 6 - Any ideas?

The word 'thing' could of been used much easier if the line was just a rhyme-line

fling = pitch = baseball...

useless fling = foul ball

I don't know. I feel there's something there though.

Maybe the "falling" part

Who know's?

Plop!

Oh what a relief it is!

They are expensive and taste kinda nasty but they work. The high quaintity of zinc in them helps decrease the severity of colds. Halls, Ludens, and all that are just candy.....

treasured? well i suppose if you like golden treasures :)

Bugg's Place, as it is formally known is in South St. Paul at 925 Concord Street. If you go here, you can get a Map: http://twincities.citysearch.com/profile/5513594/

Jake and Snake contributed $188 towards the prize, and since we didn't have the pre-dig thing there, or anything else, I figured we could give them at least one event on their "home turf" since they essentially qualify as a major sponsor of the hunt.

i'd imagine a lot of people haven't crawled out of bed yet, allison.

Allison Wonderland

It's past noon! If I'm out of bed already then everyone else should be out by now too. Actually I know Me2 is out hunting since she called me from a park. Maybe that's where everyone else is too. Maybe I should go for a drive and see where people are.

Good Afternoon! Marley just got back from the parks, ran into me2 at bc-Camo Terry where were you?- going back out for a bit before it snows!

well I'm tired so I'm gonna rest up for a little while get ready for tonights clue. IM is looking more & more good. Everything lines up so well.. I may make it down to Buggs for the clue - anyone know how far it is from the bar to the park.

Hey Artemis did MK find anything of interest at BC. I was originally thinking either BC or Conway but after the last few clues I feel pretty solid that it is at IM, but who knows this AW is one waskally wabbit.

Allison Wonderland

Did you give up on that other park Rush? As for the distance from Bugg's to IM, You'd head up Concord to 52, take that across the river to 94 (or East 7th) and take that to 61 south and Monds Blvd. I suspect you could make it in about 10 minutes.

Sun, 02/24/2002 - 5:42 AM Permalink
Artemis The Huntress

From Buggs to IM shouldn't be too far, maybe 10 minutes? Concord to 52 cross the bridge to downtown, Rt on W 7th, To Rt on Mounds Blvd.

yeah Conway seemed to obvious, but I have to admit it would have been fun to relive a great "digging" hunt. Even without the snow.

King Boreas aka Ian

What time will the rest of us get the clue?

Artemis The Huntress

yeah Conway seemed to obvious!

Wierd thats what marley thinks about IM!

I believe he said 7 Ian,but not sure.

RushHarley

...seems less obvious, AW is a sneaky writer though and may expect us to ignore the obvious, remember he is always the one reminding us to not look too closely into the clues.

Sun, 02/24/2002 - 5:54 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

Yes, I still expect to post the clue at it's regular time at 7pm, so I'll need to leave Bugg's by 6:30, maybe earlier. But I'll be getting there around 5 if anyone wants to hang out.

One big thing I really like about IM, that I don't remember being mentioned here yet is its close proximity to pigs eye lake. If my schooling doesn't fail me isn't a barrow a form of pig?

artemis, i just ran into me2 and camoterry at im. yeah i know i said i felt like crap this morning, but i was feeling better (ahh chemicals!) and best buy was supposed to have the cell phone i'm trying to replace my nokia with in stock. and so i figured its just as easy to drive out mounds blvd as it is 94 to get to woodbury. and there they were out walking in the park. so i stopped and walked around with 'em. much as i still like battle creek, there's just something about im that's screaming to me "it's here".

oh, and i suppose i should ask: guess who got the "i saw camoterry in a park first" prize?

Sun, 02/24/2002 - 6:50 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

From your story it would sound like Me2.

Anyway, I'm off now. Have to go run a couple of errands and then I'll be down at Buggs at 5 and will reveal the clue at 6. (And will be back to post it here by 7.)

actually, me. me2 didn't count cuz they'd arranged to meet up there beforehand.

I don't know. Maybe Randy had a dream about CamoTerry. Would that count?
