"I don't care WHAT the clerk at Victoria's Secret said. It's just NOT very sexy."

"Geez. We coulda walked across 'til Patrick got started. You got that dog on water pills or somethin'?"

"If the dog starts another chorus of '99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall' he's sleepin' with the fishes."

"Now how's the dog supposed to hold an oar? He doesn't have thumbs. Quit whinin' and keep paddlin'!"

"This little hand-held thingie says I've arrived at my destination. Where am I?"

"This is one time where I really regret going paper-less."

"It's not there, bud. Re-check your coordinates and get the *#@%&! away from my bike."

"Why do the rest of the folks here refer to us as the special geocachers?"

"Ohhhhhh. You're talking about Butte, Montana. Sorry. My bad."

"I just love caching at night. Check out the full moon."

"You can knock off the 'Faster! Faster!' chant. We're just gonna have to buy a motorboat if y'all wanna go skiing."

"Dagnabbit, Patrick! Not in the boat. We're wet enough as it is."

"It's a great impersonation, Ev. But his name is Buddaman. I think you forgot to check the spelling."

I've been to several forums over the years. This one is one of the tamest I've encountered. We can thank a whole bunch of volunteers who watch over us for little more than the occasional T-shirt or coin. Don't sweat it. C'mon in. Enjoy. Have some peanuts. They're fresh.

Check out the yard sales and flea markets. I've picked up several over the years from auctions, especially the auctions where they are cleaning the junk out of old garages and farms.

"The county engineers will look into the shoulder issue ... but I'll get a crew out to fix that crack in the road right away."

"Well... these are the back roads..."

"You'd better drive around her, Fred. I don't think the insurance company will believe you got rear-ended."

"Very nice moves, Ev. That could be real handy to sneak around the muggles. But the cache page says it was in an old strip mine."

"There's no time to Hokey-Pokey, Ev! The park closes at dusk!"

"Well. We warned you about Patrick. We'll go home so you can change."

"No, dear. The directions say, 'Turn left on Butz Drive.' Get back in the car."

"Is this the 'End of the Road' I hear everyone talking about?"

Try simplifying. Don't sweat the automatic maps and driving directions. Use the Mapquest on the cache page to get you in the area and let common sense take over. It gets real easy to become overly dependent on the technology.

"Find Ranger Dan, Patrick! I'll keep my finger in the dyke. You go get Ranger Dan. And hurry!" "Woof!" "No! No! Go get Ranger Dan. C'mon Patrick. If Lassie can do it you can, too." "Woof!" "Stop humping my leg and go get help, you mangy mutt!" "Woof!" "... we're all gonna die..." "Woof!"
