after this thread? nope. you'll have to buy a toy for her cat... or rub her feet or some other act of pennance. ROTFL. You got me with the cat toy, but foot rub put me over the top. Tooooo funny!

I don't have that many finds nor that many hides, but I know a crotchety cache owner when I see one. I'm amazed when I read a log or see a cache that has been archived and the parting shot from the CO in the log. Amazing. Do share if you've seen others where the CO is approaching critical mass.

Agreed. Just another microcosim of society at large. Cache On

Found one the other day that was a ziplock bag with camo duck tape around it to make it blend in. The cache was then inside of that in another ziplock bag...damp

Yay! Nothing worse than getting to a location and the cache not being there because some idiot has issues. Lock him up and put the key on a TB.

...I betcha this is about Childhood Nostalgia TB or Fluffy TB! Nope. It's about my Iowa coin that he's had since August. He won't reply to emails and won't drop it in a cache to get it moving again. Here's a trick that has worked for me: change the title of the coin or bug to "** <insert cacher name here> STOLE THIS COIN / BUG **" Yes, its not very nice, but the asterisks force the bug to move to the top of the cacher's inventory and the caps stand out. Obviously no one likes to be accused of stealing so maybe it'll get them to move the bug / coin. It has worked for a me a couple of times. Well that's one way to do it. If they're not dead, you may just shame them enough to move it on.

How do you spell "Laser"?

Perhaps it was already said, but what a great story and nice adventure.

whut woe?

I guess I just don't get it. If you're disgruntled, then stop playing the game. I don't know where the control factor comes from to want to stop others from enjoying the pursuit. My two cents would be someone with wayyyy tooooo much time on their hands and who needs a new hobby or job.

I've been on the discovering end of a number of caches (mostly hidden by one person in my area who apparently doesn't believe in gum cancer) in empty chew cans. They smell pretty minty to me, but probably not so susceptible to bears in the urban jungle where most are hidden. I don't know if a bear or raccoon thinks there is a difference between a nicely scented chew can, dental floss, or a bag of oreos. Guess I'll ask one the next time I see one.

Do you leave skid marks if you thwart?

Go to an adult book store. They usually keep it next to the inflatable sheep. Now there's another good idea. But if you use an inflatable sheep for your hidey hole, wouldn't you need to secure it down? It gets windy out in the field and you couldn't have your hiding place blowing around the countryside...

It's in Oregon. GC91 hidden in Oct 00

Now that explains why you keep beating me to the FTF's.

Now that is a GREAT idea! I am going to check to see if I have a programmable front screen when I get home tonight. I've got phone numbers on the front screen of my Blackberry, but have never thought of seeing if my GPSr had that functionality. Thanks!!!

Put me down for an XXL

Two pages in and I am still chuckling over the "beam it in" comment. However, this takes the cake... Gitmo is going to be losing many of it's inhabitants after Jan 21st. Perhaps there is space there for the offenders? Dude, they found it. If it really chaps your a** that much, then send a polite note saying sometimes stuff happens and it's a really good idea to sign the log and hey, congrats on finding my 5* cache! Breath in, Breath out, repeat.

Fried crunchy bugs....ummmm delicious! Most of the time I use the stove, but the rear defroster could work in a pinch. []

Dear Diary Day 18 and the unidentified foriegn object has not exploded..... <end of transmission>

This is a nice functionality addition. Thanks for the post.

That's a brilliant idea. Have one of those places close. I've never actually had a problem getting them from the Targe down the road. Maybe I am the only one buying them around here.

Gosh... I am sure that if you were to ask Venona, she/he/it would be happy to send you a post in reply on the forum saying something along the lines of: The more I see/hear of Venona, the more I worry... I wish that I had never heard the word "Venona".... Yikes! My cold war era babelfish translation software missed that one...

I can't believe I read this whole thead searching for the cliche response of "if we told you, then we'd have to kill you".

you decide that the best spot for a cache is in the middle of a thorny sticker patch and your wearing shorts and a t shirt when you place it. I did (GC1FNA7)
