  1. Not my Letterbox or Geocache-
  2. Looks like they didn't take it upon themselves. Maybe you ought read the quotes you're quoting. That being said, I think it's on poor taste to request that someone playing another game remove their piece for your own benefit. Either way, yes poor taste indeed.
  3. Oh, how nice. You found a Game piece from another game and took it upon yourself to remove it. Very thoughtful, as clearly your hide takes precedence over anything else. From the logs: " has anyone heard about letter boxing ? Well apparently this group is similar to geocachers whom also hide items to be found. The organization is a smaller group I believe, but the game if not similar is the same. On May 2010 a container was hidden in the area of ____________ within the 163 Meter boundary of ours, hence the original and the replacement . However luck would find it, we managed to contact the CO of their cache type container, and have removed it in consideration for other Geocachers finding it instead of the Geocaching member style cache. In conclusion the false container that was hidden, its details can be found at (visit link) the container or letter box name is called __________________. The photos attached here are not the cache you are looking for.
  4. Anti- Matter, quantum field teleportation (AMQFT). This way I can cache in the past and the future. I have found caches that haven't even been placed yet! But you are right. Nothing ruins a good lamppost cache like all those cars in the parking lot around it.
  5. Yeah, Like NGC 4565- easy one there!
  6. Since the term GEO denotes: The Greek prefix geo- signifies "earth" eg. geology is the study of the Earth. A Cache on Mars could not be called a "geocache" It would have to be called an: Areo-cache As: There is a term for the study of the surface of Mars- Areology, from the name "Ares" - the Greek god of war, who is the equivalent to "Mars", the Roman god of war. Happy Areo-caching- I am working with Nasa, The Canadian Space Agency and the European space agency to place a cache in our solar system right now. Will let you know how it goes. We are still working out what planet or moon to use. Right now Earths moon is in the lead. We are taking suggestions however The study of the moon is called Selenology- so if it goes there it will be called a sele-cache. In the mean-time for the absolute best in Geo-caching check out my hides, they are known as the best ones on the rock 93 million miles from the sun. By the way a cache on the sun would be called a helio-cache- That would take on hell of a container though Consider yourself now informed! You're welcome fellow cachers!
  7. Those are hilarious!! Much better than a TFTC or TFTH log. Wish everyobody was so creative and had such a great sense of humour.
  8. Probably a case where a little white lie would have been a better choice of action. 'We're here doing genealogy research on an old relative. We think he might have been buried here, but we're not certain' Lie, I never lie.
  9. Jeek: In geocaching, the global scavenger hunt game played with a GPS, jeek is the name for the "treasure" you find. This sure was a fun jeek to find. My girlfriend wants to take me jeeking, should I go? (To that last example question, of course you should go!)
  10. We were recently at an Amish Cemetery where a cache was hidden (micro Bison tube). When the Horse and Buggy pulled up and the Amish family asked what we were doing (in the interest of honesty and full disclosure) we went on to explain how we were looking for treasure using the 24 geo-synchronous satellites that orbit the earth and communicate with our GPSr. And how we used the internet to get the coordinates to end up there looking for the "hidden treasure" They looked pretty confused. Maybe even a little offended? Hard to tell. Now I generally like Cemetery caches, however in this case we weren't sure what to think. Thoughts?.....
  11. If fans of Insane Clown Posse are to call cachers "Juggalos", what will they call Juggalos? Juggalos are those people find jeeks, right? ???What is a "Jeek"
  12. If fans of Insane Clown Posse are to call cachers "Juggalos", what will they call Juggalos? Not Juggalos for cachers Juggles. See OP
  13. I find the term "Muggle" a rather arrogant one. Muggle, a term from the Harry Potter book series by J. K. Rowling, refers to a person who lacks any sort of magical ability and was not born into the magical world. Muggles also do not have any magical blood. "Muggle" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2003, where it is said to refer to a person who is lacking a skill So given the above does that mean cachers are somehow "magical" and specially skilled? Sounds like something a bunch of 8 year olds might play. How did this term get into Geocaching? You know there are 6, 995,000,000 people out there who do not have a Geocaching account. I am sure that many of them have their own set of skills and abilities and do not deserve to be referred to by such a pejorative term such as muggle. On the other hand, fans of the band Insane Clown Posse will be familliar with this term: Juggalo or Juggalette (the latter being feminine) is a name given to fans of Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip hop group. Juggalos have developed their own idioms, slang, and characteristics. Given they have their own "idioms, slang and characteristics" this might be a good term to describe a cacher. So on one hand we have Muggles: And on the other hand we have Juggles (we'll say Juggles since it rhymes with Muggles):
  14. It is neither "elegant" nor commonly "accepted".
  15. 50 Posts now about this!!- You should see all the action on my caches- people from all over the world are viewing them! This just re-inforces how great I truly am!!! 0.1% indeed, it will be next to impossible for anyone to join this club. If you are interested please submit me your application and details via geocaching.com and if approved I will advise you of the password and secret handshake. This gets more and more fun everyday!
  16. Life is all about the "Smileys" you have. If you don't get that, you are completely missing the point of existing. Here let me give you one:
  17. Winning....Why yes I am! Thank you for asking.
  18. #1- We do not even attempt to be stealthy- we search when and where we want. We do not care if others see us. This is not some "spy game" it is Geocaching. I could really care less if others see us retrieve the cache log it and place it back. If they are interested and ask I will explain Geocaching to them. If they decide to grab the cache and check it out for themselves, that is up to them. A good CO will place an explanation card in the cache. #2- Quit acting like you are doing something "special". For crying out loud, all you are doing is finding a Geocache. #3- Caught?? Implies you have done something wrong. What are you doing wrong?
  19. This one as well, for a cache that was about 30-40 feet up in a tree: Easily located the cache and made the following calculations in my head: G is the universal gravitational constant G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2 Velocity calculation based on height: v=sqrt{2gd} An uncontrolled decent would equal a velocity of 14.0047491945 meters per second over a period of 1.42808698123 seconds This would be equal to a force of 73,500 Newtons where Kinetic Energy is K.E= 1/2 (m*V^2) and Force is F= K.E/D Since it takes on 35.5858 newtons to break (says collar bone) I used a risk analysis formula to determine if I should retrieve this cache. That was based on: RISK is the PROBABILITY that a THREAT will exploit a VULNERABILITY to cause harm to an ASSET R = f(T, V, A) In this case, given I was wearing dress shoes and pants, the launch was aborted. Nice one though.
  20. I like this one myself: Sit Rep: 13:45 hours- Equipment Check -Nato issue pants, check -Bear Grylls Multi-tool- check -Camo Hat- check -Police Issue gortex boots- check -GPS to locate target- check -Special Forces Badge- check Left barracks in the LAV at approx 13:50 hours, completed 3 critical missions before attempting this last one. Headed to target location at approx 16:50 hours- upon arriving at the mission ground zero - the team took up a tactically advantageous position. 16:51 hours- the approach was made and the target was neutralized. Mission critical data was transferred via ink encryption. 16:52 Target was photographed with "special forces" badge 16:53 target replaced- No further action required. Mission status: Success kaesie daehan gamsa danke für den Cache
  21. I highly recommend it. As my caches are known to be some of the best on Terra Firma, I find and log them all. They are really very enjoyable. It is what has helped me to win the Gold Medal for Geocaching in 2011 & 2012. Remember there is no "score" in this game and "you can play it anyway you wish" That is the beauty of it! Happy Caching!
  22. Advice vs. advise Advice is a noun meaning information about what could or should be done. Advise is only a verb. It means to give advice. The distinction applies in all varieties of English. The words are never interchangeable. Examples The words are often mixed up—for example: I was adviced strictly not to travel in the Tube train after dusk. [Daily Mirror] Officers from the sexual offence unit and drug unit also gave advise on crime prevention. [Fiji Times] And these writers use advice and advise well: Tour operators advise taking Canadian dollars, yet I am consistently receiving reports that would fly in the face of those recommendations. [Winnipeg Free Press] The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has offered a very sobering piece of advice on how regulators should go about preventing any future financial crises. [sydney Morning Herald] I am sure a lot of people who are far removed from the classroom will try to advise Emanuel on improving classrooms. [Chicago Tribune] Officials say the advice has been reviewed and reissued because of increasing violence in the country. [bBC News]
