Hi Green
Bye Green
Is that Green? MY Green? With the fishing bra, Green?
...and the coffee can...
Congrats Jake
Hhhuuummmm... Ian... You *really* stink so? Back in the County? I don't know. Feels weird to me cuz I've always hunted in the City... The liability would be so much greater (read: Cost a friggin' two arms and 1.5 legs...) if anything went awry.
Battle Creek. Yeah.
I just can't get over this!!! I'M SO XCITED!!!!!!! Mom's changed The Cooler!!!! The Hunt will SOON be a foot!!!!
I CAN'T WAIT!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Wasn't it only a formality, because I thought Jake was #1 in our hearts already ;) Are we going to keep a tally on predictions of where the medallion will be held? Nice too, how instead of counting down the days to Christmas, we're counting down the days to the medallion hunt.
did anyone ever get an archive of the 2001 board or am i gonna have to try to piece it together. oh the pain of slogging through 28000 posts.
I slogged thru this year's board so much, yust to get up to par... Half the folks there I've never heard of... And never acknowledged. I R embarrassed. Shame on moi.
In moi defense, I WAS busy working this year and like reading here - like NOT!
Kids... Differunt hearts have differunt Number Ones... Casey (lettuce all genuflect and kiss our buttons - MED BUTTONS!!!) izz number one in mine; followed by a close, hair's breath, second by Ian... Then there's... Oh, well. You get the idea.
Ares, contact Ian, Jakey, Trent... Or... Humble yourself if you can, and approach The Man - The Wizard - Behind The Curtain. Good luck. You must have ruby slippers and have your all your ducks in a row - in Toto...
Get it? ROFLOLPMP!!!
And...
JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I R so naughty, and I stink I should feel bad... But...
I DON'T!!!!
green: Two
Everbuddy Else: Zip!!!!
:D
Green!!!
That was nice of you ThoseMedallingKids!!
I wish everyone liked me!
Well....well....well....a new board - and this early! Ma Planet seems to have her act together.
We have our buttons. We have our gear. All we need is snow and some clues.
We happened to be out and about tonight and happened by several of the parks that were part of the early clue noodling last year...Valley, Arlington/Arkwright, Marydale...seemed like yesterday.
Soon it'll be time for new clues and new noodling and long nights, long days, glee and frustration. I can't wait!
Jake played a mean trick on me =( he said no hunt this year! And I fell for it=( See yas in 32 days!
Terry, ma planet doesn't have her act together, jake inge does!
Perhaps those who make the snow need to get their act together?
Jake, congrats on post #1. One month from today we will be noodling through clue #1! How exciting is that? Forget Christmas, bring me some snow and the clues. Take care everyone.
I should be studying for finals. Instead I've got medallion hunt on the brain. Any cures?
Sorry Green, but have to do this. JOE!!!! :)
HEY EVERYONE! I'M NEW TO THE COOLER THIS YEAR, FINALLY GOT A COMP! LOOK FORWARD TO THE HUNT!
did anyone ever get an archive of the 2001 board or am i gonna have to try to piece it together. oh the pain of slogging through 28000 posts.
Ares, I tried but, I couldn't get it to show all messages.
When I click "All Msgs" i starts at around 28,000. When I try to go back in the thread, it will only show about 12 posts.
Hhhhhmmmmmm???
Greetings Liqour Lady.
Oh, Mornin Sam
I know where it's going to be!
The Location of the Medallion this year is.....................
Do tell, Chem.
Well it's located in............
Like you'd tell
mornin ralph
the middle of.....
Joe!
Whoops.
My math has never been very good...
Marning, All!
Kids, no cure. No cure at all.
Why called, "PP Treasure Hunt"? Ittiz "PP Medallion Hunt." I hate the 'treasure' bit. Takes away some o'the tradition and history. Ick.
Hay, Chem! Long time no read!
I'd say Mom's finally seeing that round'bout Halloween, maybe as late as Thanksgiving, The 'Crew begins pacing, pondering, noodling, gnashing o'teeth as the The Hunt genes start to kick in (ittiz got sumpin' to do with the length o'the days, I believe... Like trees going dormant, but the opposite fur us...). So She's gettin' this here thighy ("thighy" = Beeism fur "thingy.") going sooner.
Wonder if The Camo Krewe's vulching around here yet... I've been thinking o'them CONSTANTLY!!! There's all these Christmas arminents of widdo camo deer/duck/goose, et al hunters... Every time I see one o'the arminents, I think o'them... Hell! I see ANYTHING camo, and I think o'those guys!!!
Wonder if I could choreograph a short routine fur them... Would be cute... Camo tutus would be precious!!!
Whomever's taking care o'The Cooler Crew buttons, put me down for two.
I was forced into hibernation by certain individuals here. So I have to be more careful.
A choreographer for the camo crew? What for, "Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt: The Musical"?
Well folks...how easy is the actual digging going to be this year? (knock on wood). Barring a couple of blizzards in the next month, the physical labor should be less than recent previous years, although this could cause an increase in the menatl energy needed to figure out the clues! Anyway, it's nice to know there are some others who have already started thinking about the digging at this early date.
well, jt, i *think* i have all 28,288 messages from the 2000-2001 thread. i've gotta go through and verify that, and if qwest ever gets my dsl connection changed to my new isp, i'll get it all set up sometime this weekend.
How'd you get it to work? How many files did it take? What ISP you switching to for your DSL (I'm thinking of changing too) What's the wing velocity of a sparrow?
St. Paul. That's wher it is J.T. I bet you a million bucks it will be in St. Paul. Where's that wife?
there was a lot of magic involved. 119 html files, and the various subdirectories to store the images in.
started out doing a view all messages thing. then replaced the stuff in the address bar after the '/' with a 0. then the number of the last message that showed up in that page which for the first one was like 233 or something. and just kept going till i had them all.
i'm changing over to visi. my account's already active there, and qwest was supposed to have moved the hardware connection yesterday. 36 hours after the due date, according to their database i'm on visi, but man, i've still got a connection going through qwest. go figure. if i can't get connected to visi tonite, i'm calling qwest again. if i have to call them again tomorrow, the next call's gonna be to the public utilities commission.
St. Paul. That's wher it is J.T. I bet you a million bucks it will be in St. Paul.
Well thank you very much, Ms. Cleo!
Where's that wife?
She doesn't play online much anymore. I gave her the word. I don't know what's taking her so long to get back to ya.

You diabolical genius, you!
Are you switching because of Qwest's switch to MSN? Or do you have other reasons?
SCORE NUMBER 48!
DOH< hey, joe
That would be Big Daddy. You know J.T. if the next one we have is like the first one we had, I think I'm gonna want ot have alot more. Even a dirty diaper that would make most puke couldn't get me down this am. And then as an extra x-mas gift I got my game cube that I won from Dr. Pepper.
And then as an extra x-mas gift I got my game cube that I won from Dr. Pepper.
My kids hate you!

Gotta...
get...
...this...
Dang! Missed the double five PalinaJOE!
JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damnit, damnit, DAMNIT!!! JT, you RUINED everything!!! Crap.
Makin' my Hungarian Goulash, but subbin' with Bambi instead o'using beef. Stuff's gotta simmer for like about 25 days, or 2-3 hours, whichever works best...
Serves you rite, Bone-head, for stealing my 56 "Joe!"
Speakin' o'cooking furever... DDY, thought o'you at the grocery store day B4 yesterdee... CUB had the most WONDERFUL fresh ham... Knew I'd not have to cook it for 16 hours!!! ROFLOLPMP!!!
Green, what language do you speak?
Maybe she speaks diggerish, the mumbling language heard coming from coolerheads searching for the medallion?
JOE................. #2 for me
Jakey, I speak a combo o'English; green-ish, Bee-ish, Eye-ish, Eags-ish, Cooler-ish, phonetics-ish, critter talk-ish...
You know. Whatebber.
Kids, you are starting to irritate moi. You wucky widdow devil, you!!!
May the gods help me in getting a "Joe!" for Eags...
Also speak Southern-ish. And thass alwus spelled fonetically. "I warsh my car, eat with a fark, wear sharts, and Farty comes after Thirthy-nine."
I know, I know. You would have gotten away with that Joe if it wasn't for ThoseMedallingKids..... ;)
nope jt. i wouldnt have been affected by the qwest change to msn. i just realised that with what i'm paying qwest as an isp, and the u for my unix shell account that i can save myself 25 bucks a month by changing.
Ares, have I asked you before what your major is?
kids someone asked me once. dunno if it was you or not. of course now that i've got the archive i can prolly find out :)
and its more of a question of what it was rather than what it is.
it was computer science. hasn't been since i graduated a couple of years ago though :)
Yeah, it could have been me, since I go to the U myself
yep. sounds like it was you.
ThoseMedallingKids, have I met you before? Just trying to keep track of who I know in here....
Yep. I surprised people by being both one person, and male (some thought I was female). I bought a guide from you last year. I had a green jacket, black windbreaker pants, black ski cap that I wore, if that helps any.
Oh, by the way, Joe
Darn, ThoseMedallingKids got the perverted Joe! I just missed the dang thing too! Oh well. Anyway, Ares I know you and I had talked about college majors at the U last year, not that it matters really. Medalling, what are you majoring in at our lovely "construction in progress 'U'"
And, Kids... Please give your #69 "JOE!" to Eags. If you don't mind. Thankkewvewymuch.
Oh, Jakey? Kids had on a pointy-kind'a hat... *I'd* snot call it a "ski cap," but one o'those funky Weggie-thingy kind'a hats... You know? With a tassle? And floppy, flappy eary-kind'a thighys... Kids is kind'a shorter'un me, but his grin gives mine a HUGE run fur the money! Sweet kid(s).
I'm pretty shure; kind'a stink Kids was there that nite at Como when I pooped out and slept in The Shit Mobile... And Cathi found The Med like but a few scant hours later...
Rushmore- I'm a family social science major, on the ST PAUL campus. This works out well for hunting.
"Mind escape." Lub it!!! You wood, too, Kids, - if ewe were female - well, even male, as you are - and my age. Yust wait... Yule see!
New Euphanisum (sp?) for The 'Crew!!!! "I'm having a Mind Escape..."!!!
Speaking o'Yule...
Anybuddy else celebrating New Year's Eve tonite, as I am? Ittiz THE SOLSTICE!!!! Tomorrow the days start getting longer!!!!! YIPPEE-SKIPPEEE!!!!
Kids, what I meant by your grin giving me a run for the money izz that I've been told, sometimes, that my grin lites up my face. That when I smile, a million lites go off...
Your happy, sweet smile gives mine [grin/smile] a run for the money...
Keep smiling, Kids. Your whole soul and heart shimmers when you do...
Jakey...
P.S.
Kids' hat has long, funny, dangely, tassly tie-thighys that he dasn't tie...
And he can put away about three grilled dogs...
[BURP]
Just come to the pre-dig gig. I'll try and bring my tassly hat and my grin to light up McGoverns, along with 4 other city blocks :)
Moi? Oh, hell! I'd have to be in the hospital - fat chance o'that... Oh, nebber mind! - before I'd miss The Pre-Dig Gig, The Hunt, and/or The Re-Hash Bash!!!
Or were you talking to Jakey? He'll know you once he sees you. Guy's got a mind like a steel trap... Rusted shut!
NO, NO, NO!!!! Yust yolking!!!! He'll remember you... He gets REALLY carried away Hunting... Things blur with him. Me, too. But you can blame his on the heat o'The Hunt. Me? Oh...
Huh? What was I talking about?
And...
JOE!!!!
The Joker hat! I remember now....
ok rush, now i'm confused cuz i think i remember telling you that now instead of kids.
:: drowns his sorrows with a bottle ::
ok mebbe not i'm at work right now :)
I am ready.
Ah, and I remember meeting you Kids. I wasn't as suprised meeting you as I was when I met Allison Wonderland.
Yeah, Allison is more surprising. I still don't know why people thought I was female....
New msg board, yay. Capitol Mall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so tempted to count to 14, so i can get the big 100 joe, remember when joe was here, spreading his joy?? his threats of bombs,,, he was my very first internet threat on my life,,, oh the precious memories:) anywho too many messages too soon, its like that seen in slapshot, when they get in the fight, before the game, and someone says "too much too soon". anywho um, i lost my train of though, darn those hippie drugs taht i dont do

Green, Trent and Jackie are coming back this year, right? Do you need help with things concerning them? I might be able to help you, if my schedule permits.
Green is a medallion NUT, not a filmmaker!!
Hi Everyone! Its great to think that medallion hunt time is almost here. I'll have to do most of my hunting online this year, but hope to get to St. Paul for four or five days of prime hunting time. Hopefully, the little elusive blue bugger won't be found too early.
Hey, green brown! Thanks for appointing that JOE in my honor...I appreciate that.
where's the:
Pimp Daddy? I thought Tim was around here somewhere.....
EAGS!!!!!!!!! Yur HERE finally! Yur welcome on the "JOE!" Thass one for'ya anyway.
Kids, if there's enuff snow and the locusts come out and the damn Med's not found on like Clue #3... Jent and Trackie will be here... Last I heard anyway... And there will be plenty you can do, kiddo! Hope you like to drive, can make change, and keep food orders straight...
...close, but no cigar...
pair of nines
big ol' phony GREEN Joe!
Thanky, Ian. I do appreciate that thar "Joe!"
Well, this white stuff's a beginning, anyway. I pray The Hunting Gods are kind this year and don't give us any thaws sos we gotta dig thru hard stuff. I hate digging thru fluffy stuff as ittiz...
TODAY IZZ CHRISTMAS EVE EVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow izz CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An then ittiz CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
For the first time in my life I've been baking Christmas cookies. NOT a pretty sight... I've always hated baking, and now hate it WORSER! Outta five things, only two - Rice Krispie bars and Chocolate Rum Balls - have I not scrwed up the recipe. Redid the Thumb Print Cookies, and they're much better. Not a baker, I didn't have cookie sheets, sos used glass lasagna pans... What a DIFFERENCE cookie sheets make! What took 20-25-30 mins in the lasagna pans takes but 10 mins on a cookie sheet! Gods, I hate to bake...
Merry Christmas Eve Eve, 'Heads!!!!!! :D
P.S PALIMINO JOE!!!
Welcome back Green, Terry, Eags.....
Your positive influence on these boards is a breath of fresh air.
BTW..... it's BUD
Merry Christmas, Cooler Crew! = )
I still have my t-shirt......somewhere......
I thought Dog (Sloop John B) was the Pimp Daddy, Greg? ; )
Good Morning!
Guess we'll have some snow to dig through this year...unless it all melts again. Better than looking for dirt/leaf clumps.
Green - If you're serious about baking, get yourself some decent cookie sheets...not the air-insulated kind...(Ecko puts out some good ones) and you might find you actually enjoy making cookies. It also helps to have some cooling racks.
Nice to see the troops gathering again.
I've gotten my buttons already. We just need to get them registered now. I'm not sure I'm particularly liking this year's designs, but then who cares? Coming up with something everyone would like every year would be tough. As long as it gets me the full amount of prize money, who am I to complain?
Hay, Bud!!! How the heck have you BEEN!!!!!
I *wondered* if The DOG was Sloop! Cooler! Gosh! I at least figured SOMETHING out this Hunt!!!
As I sit and type this, I've got on this year's shirt - the one with COOLERHEADS 2001 and our Web site (www.coolercrew.com) on the rite sleeve... - and the 50th logo on the left chest and all the places The Med was found thru 2000 on the back. I love these shirts (tiny sniffle o'emotionalizm [izz that a word?]) even more so than the "Cooler Heads Prevail" shirts, cuz the 2001 shirts tie us in with the entire Med Hunt, know what I mean? Like The Cooler Crew izz as much a part o'The Hunt as where the friggin' Med's found!!! I mean, you like don't see 'SUPERAMERICA' or 'KOOL108' or anything like THAT on the shirts!!!!
TERRY!
Howdy! I got some sheets (four; two big, two med) at Wally World... And they seem to be working slicker'un snot. They're not Ecko, I don't think they're anything! But, they do seem to be otay... And I did (breaking arm, patting self on back...) think to get cooling sheets - somewhere in the back o'my mind I heard/saw my grandmother... Those racks work better'un alum foil on the top o'the (gas) stove!!! LOL!!!
Made divinity... I remembered the hard crack stage in the glass o'cold water (my grandmother looking over my shoulder again...), but it turned out more taffy-y than what I remember.
And the Corn Flake Cookies? When it says blend in the corn flakes... DO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC BEATER!!!! Ah... Makes the cookies kind'a a titch flat...
Today I'm making Spritz... Question: When do I put on the little decorations: green sugar stuff, red sugar stuff, and those little tiny, pee-wee, minute round balls? BEFORE I bake the cookies, or AFTER??????
I've got the buttons, too, but have to register. Gonna today...
I must be the only one that likes the design - especially THE HUNT ONE!!! I think 2002s are better than this years. Now THOSE were SUCKY!
I'm doing fine. I've aged some, matured some, traveled some, and met some. Now I'm ready to eat some, drink some, unwrap some, and give some...
It's great to see the Cooler Bunch again! = )
Stick around! ; )
P.S.- The t-shirts are great! They advertise the Cooler, provide a sense of pride, and identify the Crew. = )
Bud, we've all aged... Some have matured - some haven't (you can put me in with the latter... ROFLOLPMP!!!)
You sound like you're doing GREAT and are happy! COOLER!!!
I ain't goin' anywheres until well into February... Gonna clog this server with my xcellent noodling abilities - yust as I do every year!
SNOW!!!!!!! FINALLY SOME FRIGGIN' SNOW!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the props Kids. Like to see peeps stick up for me when i am afc.
Hey Bud, neeto to see you on the board. Are you coming back this year? As a filmguy, gigger, or both????
The snow is here, I was beggining to think the snow gods were afraid of the wrath that tim_the_hunter will bring to any and all snow that gets in my way. This year, considering I have my own ride, and that I am ready to get a lttle crazy out there with my shovel, I think that my odds of finding the medallion are about 70%. If I am in the correct park the forst or second honest try, the odds go to about 95%. Good luck to the rest of y'all, maybe I will let you see it!
JOe
Tim, that's a different Bud.
Terry, if you didn't know, that's NOT green. I have at least four items of proof. E-mail if you're interested.
OIC. WHO WOULD WANT TO PRETEND TO BE GREEN?
I've been out on the east coast. Met on-line friends in Philly and Miami. Got a chance to see all the sites. In South Florida I saw South Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Bay Side, Coconut Grove, The Vizcaya House, two Hard Rock Cafes, Ron Jon Surf Shop, etc. I went to Orlando a few years back and Saw Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, etc. In Philly I saw the Amish and the historic sites. The Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the stairs Rocky ran up in front of the Art Museum, The Hard Rock Cafe, a Science Museum <Forgot the name... Ben Franklin Center or something like that.>, Dave and Busters Entertainment (Has billiards, arcades, bars, etc.>in New Jersey, I wanted to see NYC so they took me via the subway, went to the top of the Empire State Building, saw Madison Square Garden, the seaport over by the Brooklyn Bridge, Batterry Park, the Statue of Liberty, the Plaza Hotel, ate dinner at a Restauraunt at the World Trade Center, went up to the top, bought souveneirs, and a photo with my friends which will now be a part of memory after what happened September 11th, loved the food out there, I fell in love with strombolis, they sell them at the east coast style restauraunts here now so I've been pigging out. Before I met my friends on the East Coast I had only been out west in CA. It was interesting to see the various lifestyles , try the different foods, hear the different accents, etc. It's all pretty awesome. = )
What would anyone get out of imitating Green? Pissing her off?
Nice "Joe!", Timmers!
IAN!!! For crying in a bucket! ITTIZ ME!!! "green." Honest to gods!!!
Ittiz me! green!
Hmmmmm, ittiz either green, or I am really REALLY scared right now.
Tim, ittiz me. Nobuddy in their rite mind (or left, for that matter...) would WANT to be me...
That was my logic. Why the new name?
kingboreas@hotmail.com
piss her off, probably
#1 Why in the hell would she come up with this green-brown shit?
#2 I admit, it looks very similar, but there are so many mis-statements.
#3 This shit happens all year on the other boards. A lot of you don't check them out. Ask Tony (Bud).
Legitimate e-mails that I can verify will receive my 'proof'. If you have my other e-mail, use that.
Uhhhhmmmm... Well... Ya see...
Eags didn't get the cop... I did. (No longer do I have to go down to the fire station to get my blood pressure checked...)
Anyways, he won't take my last name; he won't lettuce change our last name to 'green,' sos I gotta take his...
Otay?
Nice, "Joe!", Ian.
my email is tim_the_hunter@hotmail.com
ROTFLMAOBAG!
no friggin' way...
Ah, yeah...
Ittiz true...
hehehehehehehe
There was a gal in here who liked to immitate Green. I forget her screen name. It started with an S.....I think.
Tim,
e-mail x 2
Let me know what you think.
Ian, Timmers and Tim's Dad MET Brown...
testy here......
JOE!
I am SNOT testy...
I was referring to them.
Oh. Sorry.
Ter, when do I put the decorations on the Spritz???????
I'm so confused.
J. T.
hotmail for you
No need to apologize....have any plans for Christmas?
I'm heading down to Mankato to feast with relatives.
Visions of bread pudding, the green bean casserole with the crunchies on top, turkey, stuffing, cranberries, beer, wine, veggies, and gift giving float around in my head.....
While green be a wanted for namsake....
Ian be a searchin' for evidence on her birthdate.....
Snow is a twirlin'......
Trucks are a plowin'.....
Terry & Eags are hiding at McGoverns....
They're all waiting for Green to finish her trek....
From Green to Green_Brown for goodness sake......
With the military converging on the evil Osama....
What's with picking on this pretty Green mama?!
Tony ain't Bud, either
What?
Now I'm really confused.
Ian, it's Bud.....
Tony Soprano....Read the Viking board if you have any doubts.
Otay, so Tony ain't Bud. Who gives a ratz-ass?
Tony, doing the first Christmas I've really had in 10 years. Gave The Big Guy the option o'going to SNotV's or me doing everything, and he picked me doing. Doing Butter Lettuce Salad With Bacon, Dried Cherries And Roquefort Vinaigrette; turkey; gravy; dressing; Whipped Chipotle Sweet Potatoes; Cranberry-Jalapeno Relish (tho may use habs...); squarshed 'taters, Philly Peas, and Christmas Cranberry Salad fur dessert - NO PIES, as I HATE to bake.
And you'll never find that yucky green bean casserole in THIS house! (BARF!)
Christmas Eve we're going to church at 11:00 PM - and I pray a lightening bolt doesn't hit me in the head... Then hot buttered rum, Christmas cookies and opening ONE - just ONE - package. Cookies and milk (yeah... rite... Not in this house! Poor Santa doesn't have a chance with all the kids!!!) out fur Santa... Then to bed for CHRISTMAS the next day!!!!!
I'm Bud, CCR is I.
Sounds like fun, Green. Sorry to remind you of the casserole. LOL
Green - I also met Brown at McGovern's when Trent was here.
Put the sprinkly stuff on before baking. It helps to use a little beaten egg white lightly brushed on top so the sprinkly stuff has something to stick to.
Sorry Chris
No problem, Merry Christmas! = )
Stopped snowing here. Shall I shovel and snow blow or is more on the way? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........
Yes, you did, Ter. You certainly did, Ollie.
Do I whip the egg white until stiff peaks? Or just a little to mix it up, or what? Oh, and TANKS!!!
Just a little, green. No stiff peaks....just mixed up. You know, like with a fork....not a mixer!
Oh! Gottcha! Yust stir, like.
Glad you said that as "mix" = mixer in my mind...
No wonder the egg whites I put on the Thumb Print Cookies didn't wanna stick... I MIXERED them to stiff peaks!!!
Oh, well. Live and learn.
Gods, but I HATE to bake...
Thanks, Ter!
Once you learn how, you'll like it. You're the domestic type, right?
Wow, 40+ messages over night. As far as "Is green_brown the real Green?", I have to say she is. She knew what my hat was like and could describe it to Jake. If it's an impostor, how would they know my hat?
Ok, I'll give a little hint. If green is an associate producer, wouldn't she at least have a clue about what's happening for the upcoming hunt? ...and not make incorrect statements? I don't know anything about this Brown character, either.
Well... I'd snot say *that*... Like, I'm not great about cleaning and doing the warsh and all that kind'a domestic stuff... But cooking/food, yeah. I R. I stink the reason I don't like it so much is that you have to be more xact than like cooking the stuff I usually do.
Fortunately, I remembered from somewhere that Brown sugar has to be packed hard, but not flour and powdered... Too, not liking sweets... To me ittiz just a lot o'hard work for nuttin'.
But I wanted this Christmas to be special and I'm going whole hog. Brown says everting tastes fine... And it must! Everting's disappearing!
JOE, JOE, JOE!!! And I didn't cheat, either!
Ian, I don't talk to Trent every friggin' day. The last he told me was that they were going to film this year *if* there's enuff snow.
I don't start assisting with production until Jackie and Trent get here. I take my cues from them; I don't go to work until they get here as there's nothing for me to do until then, unless they direct me otherwise. And at this point, rite now, there's nothing for me to do.
Meringue on the thumb print cookies? Too funny!
Thanks for proving my point. No doubt at all now !
Are you having fun too, Terry?
If it's not the real Green, where is she?
That's the only question I have, too.
...and Ms. Green-Brown, if I'm wrong... I apologize but you gotta explain some things to me...
over a Margarita, of course.
Whatever, Ian. I'm purple; you're Bozo The Clown; ittiz the middle of June; this izz The Viking Board; and we're all in the friggin' Twilight Zone. So bee it. Time will prove me rite.
Your apology is already accepted, and YOU'RE buying. Make shure ittiz a 32 oz'er! Or were they 42 oz'ers??? Up at Fitger's - that first year?
Hay, Kids!
Yuppers, Ter... They kind'a just sat there, and when I mushed them in the meringue, the meringue got all slimey... It was a pain in the arse, let me tell you!
Went to use my almost 30-year old blender to make the Cranberry Salad (chop the cranberries...) and had to say a requiem fur the blender!!! So, ran to Wally World and got a food processer (B&D - it has GREEN buttons!) as it can blend like a blender plus do udder stuff.
How in gods' names I ever lived w/o a food processer this long AMAZES me!!!
If green is an associate producer, wouldn't she at least have a clue about what's happening for the upcoming hunt? ...and not make incorrect statements? -Ian
Green having a clue about the hunt? green not making incorrect statements? THat only proves it IS the real green.
I think that Ian is not the real Ian, because the real Ian would know that the real Green doesn't have a clue. For that matter, I don't think I am the real tim_th_hunter, the real tim_the_hunter would not have put this much thought into such a silly subject. Ahhhhhh, I need to dig.
Yes, I met Brown. Seemed like a nice guy, but can he dig???
Joe!
He can dig, Timmers, and he prolly will some, but prolly not as much as me. Too, he may go ice fishing.
Yeah... On WHAT ice????
Just go back to green please. Less confusing, more simple, and it just fits. This *green brown* crapola is as bad as the time last year when I dropped the "_the_hunter" part of my name. Lets face it, I am not tim and you are not green brown
Hhhuummmm... Timmers, you just mite have something there. I never thought anybuddy would care if I wuz "green." or *green_brown*. I yust thought it fit and was kind'a neat...
But, I *didn't* like you as just Tim, as tim_the_hunter wuz *you*. I see your point...
It would bee like if Eags were sumpin' else, or Mom, or Dad, or DDY... Or ANY of us!
OR if terry valentine changed to bikerchick52. lol
Man, I can taste that HUGE, cold Margarita now... Ittiz gonna bee SO GOOD!
green- settle the arguement by posting something as just green. we all know that anyone can create new accounts. just green. post an affirmitive.
Bikerchick 52?!?!?!?!?!?
Jeez-EFFIN'-LOUISE!!!!
You guys are so friggin' PARANOID!!!
Otay now, Timmers? Ian???? JEEZUS!!!
Not okay, why the period? Green had no period.
Eagle joe.
Green had a period. Happened after the webcrossing thing got hosed up once. It would never let her login as green without the period so she added it.
Well, well, well. Looks like Ian owes me a margarita too????
I DID TOO!!!
When Casey took off a bunch o'stuff, he took off my name "greensleeves." I was in a hurry to post one nite and I just added the "." at the end o'green as I couldn't use "greensleeves," and I had to make a new name.
And Dad's always liked it as he says it fits, "green. Just green, period."
Man, a gal gets all giggley about her upcoming nuptuials, thinks up a catchy new name using her [soon-to-be] new last name, and you guys effin' CRUCIFY me!!!!
I think "Muffy" would be a good new name for Ter...
ROFLOLPMPCOOSBAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeeze green, have a cow man. We are jusr poor old coolerheads without anything to noodle. So we noodle if you are real green. It was fun for about 50 posts now ittiz over. I believe that no one else in the world could imposter the one, the only, green!!!!(or whatever it is)
Green.
Muff it!!!!!
:D
So how did the spritz turn out?
Can I tell you?
The Big Guy, a non-stop worker/cleaner/fixer-upper found my first "St. Paul Parks" book by Steve!!! The one I lost?
Wonder if I can get my money back for this one, even tho autographed to moi, "Green, you're hot!.... Steve Worthman"
I will buy the green you're hot one!
I found my first one too. Now I have two autographed copies...and I wouldn't give them up for anything.
I have lost mine. It was autographed though. I will buy one and have it autographed this year. -
Snot got there yet... I've sparklies in my butt and am going crazy with Christmas. I can't sit still, and keep pacing from one room to the udder and being here - much to Brown's dismay... LOL!!!
He's been warned about the almost constant being here now that things are starting to cook, 'specially after The Pre-Dig Gig...
He's run off - with a plate o'cookies and some o'my Hungarian Goulash made with the venison stew meat - to meet his son. The cookies and goulash are for Son. Brown's got STRICT orders to keep his paws outta the cookies. I stuffed him good with some cookies B4 he left...
TER??????????
You stink this is an omen????????? Us BOTH finding our Steve books???????
MAYBEE ITTIZ THE COOLER CREW'S YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITTIZ!!!! ITTIZ!!!!
This is the 2002 HUNT!!! Two 2's - COOLER CREW = TWO C's!!!!!!!!!!
ITTIZ OURS!!!!!!!!!
What I think is that it means we've gotten organized. If it means we find that blasted thing, that would be cool!
There you go again with the doubles. This is going to be a long hunt.
Dog Pound, it ain't hid yet...
Nuttin' to hide The Med in... You can sweep that snow away with a sneeze.
It's actually more snow than when we found it at the Capitol Mall.
Joe!
HEHEHEHEHEHE!!!
Ter, it will snot be a long enuff Hunt. Nebber izz. Ittiz yust like Christmas - comes flying up on you before you know it, izz here, and then gone like the snow with a February thaw...
Thass why I like so much having this board and having it here EARLY... (Thanks MomPlanet!) It extends The Hunt/season... Makes it last longer...
I just found out that I have a 4 day weekend from school the 18-22. So I plan on finding the medallion after 2 clues on Monday.
That's right! I'll have that Monday off work too!
That reminds me of the time I spent at MLK park last year too.
We have managed to be without heat for one strange reason or another today. We now have a furnace guy coming out tonight to get us up and running again. $155 plus parts! I know I'm in the wrong business.
Hi Everyone, especially tim the hunter. The wolffpac has returned.
And donkeys are gonna fly rite outta my...
Oh! Nebber mind!
Sos you'll bee at The Pre-Dig Gig, huh, Timmers? Which is so climatic/anitclimatic... You wait and wait and wait for the first clue only to be told Bo Diddly. Then ittiz anudder 24 hours until the second clue...
Didn't Tim's Dad let you take off quite a bit this year? And stay up late, too? Seems to me he did... Bet he does again! LOL!!!
Oh dear, Terry. That's not good... What are you going to do for heat tonite????
I'm hoping the Spritz dough (that's chilling...) didn't kill the motor in my pushing 30+ year old hand mixer... LOL!!!
Hay, 'Pac! The Cousins are back!
The furnace guy will be here yet tonight. We'll have heat.
I never chill my spritz dough. It works in the cookie press better if it's not cold.
Isn't it fun to see all the hunters getting geared up?
I LOVE IT!!!! The gearing up... All those sparklies!!!! I go so bonkers!!!!
Thank gods the heat guy's gonna still be there yet tonite...
BRB... Gotta get my Spritz dough outta the fridge.
Looking forward to seeing you fine folks again. This year the hunter has wheels so watch out.
You kids are getting so big!!!! Now the 'Pac's driving, too!!! You guys gonna be at The Pre-Dig Gig?
Gods. Only a couple o'days into The Hunt Board, and I R already in trouble... My post has been removed... And I'm trying ssssssooooooo HARD to be good. I was good last year!!!
Or did it post like that originally???
Looking forward to seeing you fine folks again. This year the hunter has wheels so watch out.
Let's see...a couple - like maybe 3 years ago, WW got wheels, this year Tim has his license and now there's another hunter with wheels?
Good to have these warnings!
Ter, 'Pac's studderin'... And I don't know the secret password to tell him/her how snot to...
We are missing so many folks still, though... Though *ittiz* early. They'll prolly bee around later on...
Would be so nice if Bee and Eye would come back... (sigh)
P.S. Nice "Joe!", 'Pac!
The furnace guy is here now. Soon there will be heat - I hope!
wolffpac, instead of refreshing the page after you've posted, click on the blue number next to the last post's name...so like if you click on the first 203 or 205...that 203 would be blue, that will refresh the page from that point forward and you'll be able to see the rest of the posts that have been posted.
Thank you Terry, I'm on my mother-in-laws web tv and forgot what rhe heck I'm doing.
You're welcome. It takes awhile to readjust.
The furnace is running. The guy was here about 5 minutes. Some heat sensor thing needed to be dusted off and sanded down a bit. Good money for the time...but it's worth it to me to be warm.
Bet was your celinoid... Our furnace quit running. Yust stopped dead... Called NSP as (ah, hem...) the gas had just recently been turned [back] on... Not an NSP prob and NO CHARGE - thank gods. Guy said we had to call a furnace guy. Yeah. Rite. In his and my dreams!
Brown went down and banged on things - literally! Thought the house was gonna fall down! He banged on some thighy the gas comes out on the furnace... Sumpin' like that.
And, VIOLA!!!! Furnace came back on and has run like a clock since!!! And I didn't have to work Hennepin to pay for it!!!
Glad your furnace is running good.
Our furnace is just 5 years old. We had it cleaned and checked about 3 years ago. I guess we should have had it tuned up here this fall. This wouldn't have happened.
Hey Green, just try paying the darn bill, would have saved you a service call.
Hi lil'wolff.
You called NSP? You mean Xcel Energy?
Hey, I got on!!!
Knew you could do it.
