Default The Latest Treasure Hunt

OK Folks, Just a little info on the Latest Treasure Hunt put on by JC, EPC GUY and Myself. This Hunt will most likely Start Jan. 21rst.There will be 12 Clues and there will be a 48 HR. time span between Clues as with so many folks in different Time Zones it should give everyone a level playing field. There will be 3 PRIZES........
1rst PRIZE for Solving the Last Clue and Finding the Treasure wich Is... A NEW Fisher F2 Metal Detector !
2nd PRIZE Will be for the person getting the most points along the way. That Prize will be revealed before the contest starts.
3rd. PRIZE Will be a Consilation Prize for something that will come from... Well, we'll let you's think on that.

There are still a few details We are working on and will post Them accordingly.

Now We have to WARN YOU This will not be Easy.
To give You's an Idea of of what you may be facing, We did a little Test Hunt. We got 2 Individuals to try and solve the clues. The 1rst one made it halfway thru, He is the Mr. Bean you see under Steve in PRs avatar. He was a normal and proper gentleman until he hit clue # 6 and well you can see for yourself what has become of him.
The 2nd individual made it all the way to clue # 10. He is the person you now see in PAPPY'S avatar. To let you know what kind of toll it really took, That person is only 19yrs old and looked like Brad Pitt when he guessed the first clue.
So there it is for now. We will keep You's posted and Remeber... You's have Been Warned !! We will not be Responsible for any Ageing, Facial Contortions or Configurations, Spasms, Ticks, Head Lice, Foot Fungus, Body Odor, Bad Breath, Hang Nails, Ingrown Hairs, Overbites, Buck Teeth or ANYTHING that will leave you in any other condition than when you started.!!!!

The Journey will begin the 21rst... Are Ya Up To It ?

JC / EPC GUY & Th TINMN

Just to follow-up on Tin Man's post - this will be the TOUGHEST virtual treasure hunt EVER! We will not think badly of anyone who feels that he or she must "ring the bell" (ever see Navy SEAL hell week?) and drop out!

But seriously, folks - this will be a FUN hunt and I'm looking forward to seeing the competition, the funny answers and comments and all of the other stuff that made the first two hunts so enjoyable...AND I want to publicly thank Tin Man, JC for allowing me to be a part of this - and to thank Greg for a great forum, for helping with prize donations and in general - allowing us to have the most fun a person can have - and still keep his clothes on!

Good Luck to everyone...you're going to NEED it!

Ah Senoir MINELABMAN This will be so Twisted You May get all the Clues Yourself ( NOT IMPLYING ANYTHING ) You may be the perfect canidate for the consilation Prize if nothing else. Be Positive cuz just when Ya think some one is way ahead of you, You just may pass them by while they are in a fetal Position ( Nothing towards you Buster ) and talking in an the Ancient Atlantlien Language. Tho helmets are not required it may not be a bad Idea to invest in one. GOOD LUCK TO ALL !

Ok I think I have all the bases covered.

I called the wig store and checked on wig prices just in case I pull all my hair out .

Called the dentist to check on implant prices in case I gnash my teeth so bad that the must be replaced .

Called the local plastic surgeon to check on prices to correct all the contortions that my face may freeze into .

Called the physical therapist for appointments to unknot all the muscles and stop the spasms that are most likely to occur .

Called the zoo to let them know they will have to provide me a home if the above measures do not work .

Oh Yeah, I also called the newspaper and the local University so they can document the dangers of participating in one of TQ's virtual treasure hunts. Especially when concocted by the likes of EPC, TINMAN, and JC. They have told me they have been aware of these hunts and they are extremely dangerous to ones mental and physical health. A new life form may be the outcome .

All the above professional members have wished me luck in this dangerous endeavor and shall be looking forward to the privilege of seeing this new life form evolve .
