All of Chuck's recent tweets seem to be indicating that we should open it but I'm hesitant to destroy it in case we're wrong and simply because it would be a shame to mess up a such a nifty keepsake. I looked it up (as others did) and the ones you can buy online always seem to have a black base. What is the base made of? Can it be pried open or would it have to be smashed to pieces like stone?

The Fund has been reassembled. (Sorry for the blurriness, I need to recharge the battery on my digital camera, this was taken on my phone.)

The base is made of white stone -- it's a standard trophy base.

I guess we'll see what happens!
I'm still curious about the base though..

You know, I've been thinking about it a lot, and though I initially voted to smash the CDF, I'm having second thoughts now.

First of all, Chuck implied that there are three possible paths. If these paths are directly related to the CDF, then as we've realized the options would be;

1)Keep it in pieces
2)Fix it (the current state)
3)Destroy it

Since finding the Uh-Oh got things moving and got us all excited, we all assumed that Chuck's implications meant we should destroy it further. But as those of us who were there will recall, Joey very specifically passed on thew CDF in order to keep it safe, stating that Mike Russo didn't trust him with it.

So who do we trust more? Chuck, or Joey? In the end, that might be the real deciding factor.

Well, it seems that misfortune is still befalling Milwaukee residents (though Chuck's latest twitter was before the pic of the reassembly of the CDF). I think if looking at MM's Diary or ARH in a different way like some people are trying hasn't yielded anything (or doesn't soon), it may be time to smash it.

Or his twitter may be him saying that "Wait it out! Chuck will show us the way!" isn't going to happen.

I know I already put in my vote/2 cents, but really think Chuck is suggesting we smash it...or at least see what's inside. He said he smashed a mirror and a cinderblock, he said he was going to solve the matter, but he can't cause there's something INSIDE HIS HAT, I really think this adds up to wringing that turkey's neck.

If we were supposed to destroy it, wouldn't it say "Wahoo!" or something when dismantled, rather than an ominous, understated, "Uh oh?" I think the tweets and FB updates are pretty clear..."Uh oh."
Anyway, I am happy that it is back together!

If it was made in China, and there aren't any holes in it, how would anything get inside?

Logic says don't smash it. Finding the uh-oh could be a trigger, and it might be needed later.

Remember when adding the results for smash/don't smash to count both don't smash options as one.

It's probably for the best to leave it alone. Goose with the golden eggs and all.

Instead of smashing, generally one carves a turkey...

But I also don't think we're going to find anything inside. And we certainly can't eat this one.
