A once used to was forum rat has one of out TB's in a long unpublished cash. I doubt it'll ever move again. About time I send him another email.

How do you say "I Found It!" while group caching?
GOF and Bacall replied to Gipsie's topic in General geocaching topics
My personal choice. -
How do you say "I Found It!" while group caching?
GOF and Bacall replied to Gipsie's topic in General geocaching topics
I wanted you to join in and tell the whole story of Hucklebuckle. I was just gonna post it on your board that the thread was here, but you are WAY too quick for me and my phone kept ringing and I am moving into a new house and my kid is a PITA and....well, you know. What is that noise? Is that violin music I hear? What part did you want me to tell? The part about how it's from an old time kids game? Or the part about how we have a local cacher who uses it as his caching handle? I honestly don't know if the cachers started using it first for finds or the young man in question started the whole thing when he chose his geo-name. Either way I hope no one ever publishes another Huck-a-cypher. -

And you didn't even give GG credit for the inspiration. Around here the accepted standard is Hucklebuckle. But you knew that. -
I am not sure but I doubt that the suits at cracker barrel specified porch or lpc cache when they said no more.

Oh, why so short?

Sounds like a plan. The individual clue caches can be anyplace you want. I have a series of seven clue caches spread out over several miles. Get the clue in each one, put them all together and find the final mystery cache location. Those who have found the series seem to have enjoyed it.

Non-compliant Caches
GOF and Bacall replied to Proud Soccer Mom's topic in General geocaching topics
What the heck is that? An on topic reply? What were you thinking? -
WOW! Check out those cob webs. And look at all the dust. Don't they have a cleaning service around here? Holly cow! This thread is actually past the expirey date!

George the Geocacher - Part 1
GOF and Bacall replied to peerikss's topic in General geocaching topics
The offending content in the link to cartoon was addressed. As long as TPTB don't have a problem with youtube it'll probably stay until it slips off the page. Then in a year or two someone will bring it back to life. After a half dozen new posts it'll again slip off page one. It's the life cycle of a forum thread. -
Non-compliant Caches
GOF and Bacall replied to Proud Soccer Mom's topic in General geocaching topics
The other forum I frequent is a motorcycle forum. Fewer rules and less moderation. Surprisingly a much friendlier place over all than here. -
Non-compliant Caches
GOF and Bacall replied to Proud Soccer Mom's topic in General geocaching topics
Way too soon. This thread hasn't even left the first page. -
What should i put in my future caches?

What do you like to find? -
Non-compliant Caches
GOF and Bacall replied to Proud Soccer Mom's topic in General geocaching topics
Except the words "ignorant" and "willfully negligent" are much more emotionally charged. They, and words like them, are often used to sway public opinion. To elicit a strong emotional response. What you left out was the honest mistake that can also be made. You chose words that made it sound like the reviewers in question either are stupid, or corrupt. To make them sound human would not have kept the argument going. Truth is that out of all the caches in the world only a small percent fail to measure up. But what fun is there in that? -
Joke caches, as in intended to be funny.
GOF and Bacall replied to Vater_Araignee's topic in General geocaching topics
I've placed a few meant to be humorous. We had a bunch of local cachers place puzzle caches one after the other. Each attempting to be less solvable than the last. My response was to place this cache with the intention of it being "so easy a cave man could do it". When it proved to be a bit more of a challenge than intended I place this locked puzzle cache. Not meant to be knee slappers, more to poke a bit of fun at the rash of puzzles. This one is not meant as a commentary, although some seem to think so. I have another but don't want to spoil the fun. -
What is on your geocache todo list?
GOF and Bacall replied to NYPaddleCacher's topic in General geocaching topics
I can stare at those things for hours and all I get is a headache. -
Is there an easy way to find archived caches?
GOF and Bacall replied to marikun's topic in General geocaching topics
So, you're saying to do it like Cardinal Red said? -
What type of caches do you ignore?
GOF and Bacall replied to Kit Fox's topic in General geocaching topics
Yes, but a bad/dangerous area is, for the most part, going to remain that. Why not keep it off your PQs where they are taking up space? -
What type of caches do you ignore?
GOF and Bacall replied to Kit Fox's topic in General geocaching topics
Why is it that so many seem so adverse to the ignore list? It seem like everyone has caches they will pass up. If the cache page doesn't sound interesting. If I get there and don't like the location because [insert personal dislike here]. I don't hunt anything more/less than X number of stars. For whatever reason you don't want to find a cache it is the perfect reason to put it on your ignore list. That way it can be excluded from your PQs and you won't have to evaluate it again and again and again. Is there some stigma in its use that I just don't see? -
How do you thwart "cheaters"?
GOF and Bacall replied to Tequila's topic in General geocaching topics
Well, I largely agree with you, but you DID forget to mention the fact that anyone who cheats while trying to earn a quick smiley has committed a most grievous offense against God, a sin known as a "geo-moral sin", and, when they die, their eternal soul will rot in H3ll for all of eternity, and... there are no geocaches in H3ll, and, in any case, H3lll is so hot that any GPSr would melt in about four seconds flat. If you fail to point this out, you are tempting geocache hunters of weak moral fiber and loose moral will to slip and slide down the slippery evil slope of moral relativisim. Shame on you for your omission! . I am neither a geo-shaman nor a geo-demon. The condition, or destination, of anyone's soul is none of my responsibility. And I don't care who you're related to. -

GOF and Bacall replied to Tequila's topic in General geocaching topics
Don't sweat it. No matter what you do someone will either circumvent or whine. Those that will enjoy the journey will. Those that will enjoy the smiley will. Those who can do both will. In the end they all had fun. Except maybe you? Like I said, don't sweat it. -

What type of caches do you ignore?
GOF and Bacall replied to Kit Fox's topic in General geocaching topics
Anything by Kit Fox. Ok, not really. It was gonna get said sooner or later so I figured lets get it out of the way now. I ignore all the caches by one hider. The thing is I know what they are before I even read the page. One after the other of the exact same thing. Why even get off my chair? Judging by what you have said about your ignore list they'd not be on your find list either. -
Peace and harmony in these forums? Yeah, right!

Nudecacher wouldn't. I've gone after a cache in snow up to my waist. I doubt that the nude cacher would attempt that. If he did it would be, um, life altering.
