Scenes from the Cooler Crew at the 2007 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

by The Batman

“Say it ain't so, Clueless Joe,”
It’s almost that time of year!
Its time to obsess, with the Pioneer Press,
For the hunt will soon be here!

Jus’ one plastic puck, worth ten thousand bucks,
Hidden beneath the snow.
But that’s reason enough! So you better get tough,
And put up with the cold, for the dough!

You know I got pride, I represent the East Side ,
So I hope it’s hidden there.
It might be an advantage, but I think I can manage.
For me to find it, would be fair!

To those who write the clues, please take your time to choose,
Exactly what the clues should say;
Cuz’ for the past few years, your clueless peers,
Jus’ couldn’t lead us astray.

Inspired by the Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

Once again its the season to be out freezin
in the great medallion hunt open to all.
A tradition and a Celebration
they started in St. Paul.

With clues that are truly poetic
and rhythm that really swings
we bring this hint that will help you
get to the bottom of things.

What's more precious
than the treasure of a King?

Crystal clear clues make it child's play to win
if you're willing to be an iconoclast.
So don't put it off, now's the time to begin
you never know how long it will last!

Every time you read a new line
don't let circular thinking reign,
but don't always believe you're eyes
for we're playing a tricky game.

To search for carnival treasure
can be a strain on the brain!

Scribe on the 'pop' rocks
with THX by her side
Just pour me a Bailey's
And I'll tell you "the crow flies"
the hunt is on
So she just sings the 'woo hoo's'
All the time

Gave you my vulcan button
Gave you another hairbrush
You left me alone in the park
With no shovel to look through the slush
The hunt is on
Now all I want is to find the damn puck before her!

First she has a hairy back

How she has that boil

Suddenly she find's she's out there
11 pm -standing in line at ma press

And when the hunt knows it has you

Nothing you can do or say

You've got to hunt just everyday
We all know the clues

You need what you need

Flashlights, hand warmers & a St. Paul newspaper

Wearing your Columbia jacket, boots, hat & glove 24/7
When the hunt is on
