I can't stop laughing! Great Job!

This just in ... Good Witch of the North KWVERS! ... Denice as Glinda. I love it.......how about my flying monkey JOhn? This just in ... Flying Monkey Boy Remember Jodi, you asked for it. Oh I'm so glad Jodi requested monkeys. I was avoiding them lest someone get offended. Now I have no worries.

Oh I can just imagine the rest of the cast! LOTT as the scarecrow Fishnjack as lion Harmon as the tin man Blondehilightss as Dorothy and Charlie as Toto Luv2Bake as Glenda the good witch. Flagman as the Wizard

And you were doing so good, and even I was behaving, alas Poor Ol Harmon.

Oh so many ways to read between the lines. However, why ruin such a beautiful picture of some of the finest geo-ladies of San Diego. Well Done Harmon, a true master in the new age of digital media.

Weren't we wishing you congratulations for 4,000 just a short time ago? Well regardless it that time again! Congratulations to BlondeHiLites for 5000 smiley's! WTG Denise! Number 5000!

Happy Birthday, Harmon!!! 76 year old, huh? Amazing!! Smart funny energetic spunky and definitely inspirational! Have a great day!! Aw shucks ma'am, thank y' very much. Weird to have a birthday association with Tom and Andrew. What is there about the teens of December? Living at the far end of the tape-measure of life is interesting. Life is good, Haarmon SD Rowdies I hope you had a wonderful day. Happy Birthday Harmon. To many more.

Ms. LLOT took the photo (or at least part of it, anyway...) Not sure who's the GeoChick. I sure don't remember seeing her out there in the desert...must have been one of them mirage thingies... (not to be confused with Miragee...) Why do I have this feeling that Harmon is headed for trouble again? It's like the story of the boy who, even though he's been burned many times, just can't keep his fangers off the pot-belly stove... I am quite unknowing the identity of said Geo-chick. But I would definitely recommend 1-800-Dentist! As far as Harmon and trouble, I just can't seem to figure who follows who but they always do find each other.

Watch out Harmon. I guess J&J made it back into town quite as a mouse and has taken notice of the forums. Someones got TFC's back

Looks like a wheeler dealer cache! Love finding recycled "stuff" turned into caches.

Drum Roll Please! Congratulations to Lionhouse75 on 3,000 caches. She picked quite the cache for her milestone. Also Congrats to SDOutdoorgirl for her FIRST FIND! The Log Entry

Lucky Frog Some of the applicants might have gotten out of hand.

Actually, I have it on good authority that they created a joint account due to the fact that Marko knows that I've been timing my cache releases to avoid Marko on account of the infamous "dunk tank incident"... Come on folks ... think hard, who has shown personal traits that would include aspiring to the social status of a reviewer? "Aspire" implies an ascension -- and that's not the usual direction when referring to achieving the "social status of a reviewer"... Anyway, from what I've read in the forums, becoming a reviewer is kind of like becoming a pope. You have to exhibit no interest whatsoever in becoming a reviewer in order to be considered. It's kind of hard to aspire to something and have no interest in it at the same time. (But that's just the sort of multiple personality that the Lillypond looks for -- or so I've heard...) I know a few ladies that were flirting with the Lackeys in Seattle....hmmmm.....I wonder.... It wasn't just the lackeys' they were flirting with...I seem to remember some photos taken with a giant frog... I think I've seen them embracing that frog at the Yuma Event too. Please post the photo's would love to see that. Lucky frog. PROOF Maybe a little more than flirting? Staff Photo?

So our cache, What would you do? is just north of Grave Wash...and that means it now has to be disabled/archived? Looks like "What would you do" lies right on the border...How Ironic.

For those that don't know the Freeman property was granted to BOTH Ocotillo Wells SRVA and Anza Borrego State Spark. The Freeman property lies north of SR-22. Freeman Property If you've placed a cache on this previously accessible property, NORTH and EAST of the red line your cache now lies in the Anza Borrego SP which strictly forbids geocaching. However if your cache is West and South of the red line your cache resides in Ocotillo Wells State Recreational Vehicle Area which is EXTREMELY cacher friendly.

I know a few ladies that were flirting with the Lackeys in Seattle....hmmmm.....I wonder.... Ahem.... The final three candidates in the vetting process perhaps? You know after 17,000 finds you've just about seen everything and could make a reviewers job quite easy. Of course after the OTT incident trying to place a cache within the boundary of an existing cache I'm not sure that would result in reviewer status. Unless of course she was trying to prevent becoming a reviewer.....

Guess you missed FlagMan's comments about Marko, then... WooooHoooooo!!! I think I was finally successful in getting that Pinko Commie fired!!! O please, say it isn't so ... that Commie Pinko Reviewer guy would never give up without a fight.Noooooo! San Diego is so lucky to have two such dedicated reviewers... This new person has a lot to live up to!!! I'm betting the new guy is no better than the old guys... Who said it's a guy?

Guess you missed FlagMan's comments about Marko, then...

LOL...Sir Doug, you obviously have entirely too much free time on your hands! I'll have to get together with Anjie to come up with a more-inclusive "honey-do list" to keep you better occupied in the future! That being said, I'll be the first to put $10 into the kitty for a full set of Protective Chain Mail for Poor 'Ol Eleven Fangers... Poor 'Ol Harmon...I sure missed him, too! Boy howdy, Doug, just in time to add to my birthday and Christmas list. A chain-mail body suite is just what I needed that fateful day partway up Otay Mountain. Just imagine, chain-mail skivey-shorts. As to that little multi-tool from Hell ... don't think so. Why would any right-thinking company produce a knife blade that not only doesn't lock but also is extremely sharp on both edges of the blade? On the other hand y' have t' give the perp' some credit because she hasn't cut her own self with th' danged thang. As for your Christmas gift ... some replenishment supplies for that nifty first-aid kit you carry? Funny thing is that while helping my sweet bride wrap up our elder-care issues in Arizona we found time during the final couple of days for some Geocaching. Wouldn't you know that one of the containers we found was a first-aid box like yours except old and rusty. Seeing it triggered a flashback to the slashing incident on Otay Mountain. During the flashback I noticed a couple of thangs I missed during the actual incident ... one being that the perp' laughed at my stupidity and the other that Chelsea laughed with her in place of doing her canine duty to dawg-lick my open wound. Finally, was I ever shocked that you and th' perp', and FlagMan too, conspired to make me relive the agony of that day by cooking up that TNG #16 scheme. Only thing good about the scheme is that matching the paint job on th' perp's Jeep to the color of my own blood gave me a shred of revenge on that ol' gal. Of course I'm still suffering from PTKS, and so keep falling out of bed often during a recurring nightmare of that gory incident. (Stop laughing.) Poor ol' Harmon Admission: As a young man I suffered an injury to my riight hand between thumb and index fanger that severed a nerve with the result that half of my index fanger has no feeling. Yep, right down the middle, no feeling at all in the thumb-side of my right forefanger. Thus no pain at all from the slashing. Now HOW did you know I was laughing. Actually laughing so hard Anj had to come see what was so funny. That first aid kit is already well stocked and ready again. Don't think I could ever turn it into a cache, but maybe a good idea for a new cache???? We can test out that new local reviewer. Sue don't you worry I'll have my time plenty occupied around late December learning another new electrical contraption. If you're really worried maybe you can show me a thing or two about it. As long as you keep all sharp instrument in your Jeep. LOTT kleavaged thumb. Now that was a visual I didn't need. I can just imagine that photoshop of Ol Harmon. Anyone seen any smoke signals from Jodi lately? They must be having one great thanksgiving with family.

With so many new caches and cachers all the time, they probably just need more help! Socal Reviewers Careful ... think it over. Who do you know that would be the most likely person to take on the duties of a reviewer? I can think of a couple. I'm glad to see a new reviewer. Kosh and Marko have done a great job and another to help shoulder the load shouldn't hurt. In the regular forums a lot of reviewers get bad names, but I've never read anything bad about our two. It's a thankless job and they should be commended.

I for one, is glad Harmon is back. Plenty of wit with out him but just not the same. If Ol Harmon was fine tunin' those smoke signal skills one would think Jodi, by now, could receive, decipher and re-post for all of us. Today I was poking around the old internet at a site that "The Perp" gladly tells everyone about. Got these great one day only deals. For the sake of Harmon's fangers I hope she wasn't poking around too. SOG Multi-Tool Powerlock EOD with Leather Sheath This absolutely should NOT be considered as a Christmas gift to the a fore mentioned "Perp". Who knows what other torturous tools could do to ol Harmon's appendages. I would highly recommend the following. protecting yourself from knife injuries Or for a more humorous read and or preparation for caching with the a fore mentioned : TFC Survival guide

WooooHoooooooooo!!!!! Oh my gosh...that's a lot of smileys!!! Congratulations, you two! Some of my favorite runs have been with you two! Congrats on 17K smileys!

WoooooHooooooooo!!!! $kimmer, I'm really proud of you. Well done. $weet! Congtrats Great job $kimmers 10K!

Congratulations to The Fat Cats and welcome to the Yrium-card social set. Once Tom releases your card he'll contact you to pass on the secret handshake. The hard part of doing an Yrium-card layout is finding source images that can be used to express a theme chosen by the related recommender; in this case, Ramona Retired Snipe. How odd it is this time that I happened to be the photographer for the main source image. The theme? Well, to feature the Fat-Cats Avatar, Sue and Mom, Chelsea the GeoDawg, Puzzle Queen, and a Jeep painted blood-red as a tribute to Sue's renowned surgical skill. (Tell me about it.) Here's a link showing the source images used. Yrium TNG 16 Source Images Hurrah for The Fat Cats, Harmon SD Rowdies Note to Self: Change sheer-strip before dinner. Thanks to Flagman and SD Rowdies for all their hard work this week getting these cards ready. So glad to see the final product after looking at the drafts. BTW when you all get to read the back of the card there's a note "rookie on the side of the road." That was me on my third Geocache outing. And it's lead into a great friendships and love of caching. I hope everyone enjoys! Mom, Chelsea, and I are so honored to be picked for this Yrium card...Thank you, Doug and Anjie!!! We're both so glad to have met you, too. We love the layout and while we hadn't noticed the resemblance of the color of Betsy to the color of poor 'Ol Eleven Fangers' blood, we can definitely see it now. And remember our new code phrase, "Doug in the Desert!" (To explain...I tend to argue with Doug about routes and such when we're in the desert Jeepin' and I'm always wrong...always!!! So I asked Doug to say "Doug in the Desert" when I'm being stupid, this being much politer than saying, "Sue, shut up!!!" And just for the record, anyone can use this phrase and I'll be reminded to hush up (anyone, that is, except for 'Ol Harmon!) Actually I think Ol Harmon just washed the ol jeep for you.
