MR. NEWSSSSS87 sounds curiously like someone else I know.

Hi all, my favorite hunt was Newell because I was there on the 3rd or 4th clue. But of course, I doubted myself and only came back when the rest of the world was also there.

The more the merrier to dig with us - lots more fun that way!

leelabell - 10:55pm Jan 6, 2002 CST (#1591 of 24785)

MR. NEWSSSSS87 sounds curiously like someone else I know.

I got a digital camera for Xmas this year - I should prolly bring it - what do you think?

ThoseMedallingKids - 10:56pm Jan 6, 2002 CST (#1592 of 24785)

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for ThoseMedallingKids!!

Do it Leela. I'm going to bring a camera, and Tim was talking about bringing one. The more the merrier?

leelabell - 10:57pm Jan 6, 2002 CST (#1593 of 24785)

MR. NEWSSSSS87 sounds curiously like someone else I know.

Some messages back folks were talking like they needed digging partners - I say, the more the merrier.

Now, about your desire to make a quilt, TMK - why a quilt?

ThoseMedallingKids - 10:58pm Jan 6, 2002 CST (#1594 of 24785)

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for ThoseMedallingKids!!

Because she gets cold a lot of times. Thought it would be nice to keep her warm, to have something I put a lot of time and effort into. Something that could last a long time for us :)

leelabell - 11:00pm Jan 6, 2002 CST (#1595 of 24785)

MR. NEWSSSSS87 sounds curiously like someone else I know.

Sounds serious - where does she live? Can she dig with us?

Are you thinking of sewing together quilt squares? You could take a crocheting class and crochet the blanket.

You don't get extra points for trying....this is because you were SO wrong that it doesn't even matter what you were TRYING to do!

As a preview - you are always so far in the negative you can never catch up. Everything good you do, no matter how good, is worth one point.

So I could take care of the kids, let her go to a day spa, go shopping, eat out, have fun with her girlfriends, and come home to a clean house, and that would just be worth one point?

Actually Kids,You will probably lose points on all of that.You won't clean the house right(what you think is clean and what she thinks is clean are two different things),the kids will be cranky(this is because you got them all riled up),the appointment at the day spa didn't include a french manicure(and thats your fault because you made the appointment),eat out(thats because you didn't cook a gourmet meal).

I vacumed the kitchen rug tonight. Took out the garbage. Fixed the washing machine (And put a load in when I was done). Did the dishes twice. Played nintendo two different times with all three of the kids. Cooked dinner and fed the cats.

No kidding, true story.

Scribe says, I didn't vacum the living room. Playing nintendo with the kids doesn't count for points. She says I should be in bed with my wife. Since I'm not, I'm loosing points and am at -47.

That's where the point system gets ya.

My poor kids will be so bored now!!

Just wanted to tell everyone something pretty funny... On my way home from grocery shopping I stopped by Phalen (It's close to my house.) and took a quick drive around. In one of the parking lots was a Mini van with a Pioneer Press logo on it and a man standing out side of it with a PA jacket on. I thought to myself this mustn't be a sign this park would suck!I I am not implying at all that it was someone scouting it out, like a spotter or anything. It was probably just a paper delivery person or something. I just believe in signs and stuff like that! You know like when you ask yourself should I do that' and suddenly lighting fills the sky. (Call me corny.) Anyway that's it!

Don't worry Snowmommy. I only know some people from a few encounters from last year. But you won't get to know us until you meet us, and that is a good place to do so. You'll meet all sorts of people on here, and you probably won't be the first timer.

Just wondering if there are any other late night CC are out there? Other than the guy from down under (you there this year?) I usually don't hear too much during the Dracula hours until at least clue 5. Got tomorrow off because of the Vikes last game this year. It will be nice to see if Randy feels like playing since Denny isn't here anymore. Gotta go burn some CD's.

Good morning, everyone!!! Stopped by here on Thursday to see what's going on. I haven't picked up my button yet, but I know that the Super America on Pilot Knob and Yankee Doodle has had them for the past 4 years. The most important thing is: REGISTER THE DARN BUTTON. Can't make it to the pre-dig gig because my office continues to have our holiday party on the same night as the pre-dig gig. Man, not happy about that. Will be home though in time for the first clue which won't amount to much but still is exciting to just read.

Clue Writers - BURY'EM!!!!!

Good Almost-Afternoon-'Heads!

Snow Mommy, I doubt very seriously if MomPress would bee dumb enuff to have sumbuddy out in a PP truck/van in a PP jacket hiding The Med. Like too obvious. It was prolly just a sales rep checking an account/trying to get them to up the number o'papers they take/sign up a new account/deliver buttons, etc.

Esteban! Missed you, dang! I'm with you about the legit, but really think The Hunt will always stay legit. I think MomPress will see to that as well as die-hard Hunters like the ilk you find in The 'Crew... The Hunt is everything to us and so precious. I know I'll do everything in my power to see that it continues for at least as long as I'm breathing!

I'm glad I wasn't hunting bock with you and Ter in the days o'the metal detectors... I doubt if I could have kept from jumping those fools and choking the living spit outta them!!!! I'da been rite with Scribe, dropping bottle caps like crazy... At Conway I lit out after a bunch o'very TALL, very BIG, very HUSKY young gentlemen that were up DIGGING on the ROOF o'the building that was either the library, or by the library. They certainly weren't scared o'me - it being like six to one... - but I musta shocked them! LOL!!! They decided there was better digging to be had elsewhere and left... :D

My fav Hunt was Chair-O-Key, 1998... It was my first! You only ever have *one* first Hunt!!! I've been in the TCs since '86 (with a short stint in '82-'83). I'd heard a little about The Hunt, but thought it was all kind'a silly and even a bit (ah-hem...) dumb. Then I just happened to catch a clue in The Paper, and it grabbed me! I couldn't get it outta my mind!!! I noodled that mother six ways from Sunday!!! From then on with subsequent Clues, spent all my work lunch hours at Battle Creek, just knowing in my heart that's where The Med was! I had The Clues aced! Yuppers! I was gonna find It in Battle Creek! LOL!!! Then even I had to toss in the towel with the Chair-O-Key clue and "double division." I went out to CP one nite, alone, and will never forget the beauty... The fires, the sounds, flickering lights, muffled laughter and voices... It was like being in a fairy tale.

Since then, I've lived and breathed The Hunt. Ittiz the most wunnerful, fun, FANTASTIC adventure!!!

JOE!!!

Inside me a voice was repeating this phrase: "You've lost it, you'll never get out of this maze."

I'm a relative newbie to the hunt. I was raised in a non-hunting household. When I was in high school, I'd try to noodle the clues a bit, but every time I came up with a theory my folks would shoot it down. And they were right, but had no interest in it. So it was frustrating. I just moved back to the cities 5 years ago, and started following the hunt 2 years ago. But last year was the first time I ever packed up the shovel and went out looking. I'm hoping to find some time this year, between kids, wife, work and school.

And the one that is fitting for the winner of the medallion hunt:

"Bart, with $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like ... love!"

You was it that was talking of some "point system"?

"Marge, it's 3 AM. Shouldn't you be cooking or something?"

"I won't lie to you, fatherhood isn't easy like motherhood."

Homer: But we love Bart and Lisa!

Judge: And Margaret?

Homer: Margaret? Lady you got the wrong file ...

Marge [Whispering]: She means Maggie.

Homer: Oh yeah, I don't have anything against her.

'twas scribe and kids i think. that was too many posts ago.

"Marge, it's 3 AM. Shouldn't you be cooking or something?"

that oughtta be about -50 points

"I won't lie to you, fatherhood isn't easy like motherhood."

and that -1000.

Good things are worth one point.

Bad things are givin a point value based on severity. From -1 to -999999999999999999999999999999

You get to a certain number, say -178, and it is over.

tim i always thought that things were over when you got to a negative number.

I thought not just any fool could find it. What kind of lie is that?

Oh yeah, you start negative. And if you somehow manage to get to zero or possitive (I still say this is impossible), then you will be back to negative the next day. Though, you don't get to "start over" with negative points. If you are -99 on Friday, you are at least -99 Saturday morning, and sometimes worse for the loss of sleep your wife/ GF lost over all the bad things you did.

I thought not just any fool could find it. What kind of lie is that?

I just threw a number out there. If I knew THE number, I wouldnt just say it, I would sell it on ebay.

And, in my take, negative is just being in her bad graces "the dog house" if you will
