Middle Earth Fan Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Bowlers have them. Golfers have them. Fishers. You name it, there are excuse shirts for just about anything. What about a Geocacher's excuse shirt? What's your excuse for not going caching on a nice day or suffering from DNF syndrome or chickening out on final approach or... Basically, what are some of your excuses for not fully enjoying the Geocaching experience. Maybe someone could design a shirt with many of those excuses on it. Hey, that actually sounds like a nice marketing concept. Quote

+olbluesguy Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 I didn't Geocache today Because: The dog ate my Garmin The Queens water broke.....and I had to go to Home depot for parts. Quote
+Markwell Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 What about excuses for not finding the cache? Lost reception. WAAS not enabled. ^#%@$#!@ transposed digits. You mean degrees/minutes or decimal degrees? Wrong Datum. I thought it said "macro" Whaddaya mean "they changed it to a virtual"?!? Old GSAK data. Kid/Wife/Friend/Dog was reading GPS wrong Sasquatch must have taken the cache. Quote

vagabond Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Had to invoke the VK rule. For those that don't know Ventura Kids have a 7 minute rule for caches Quote
+Isonzo Karst Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Didn't find cache because: DBP Detained By Police NHF Not Having Fun VK rule Ventura Kids 7 minutes to find/leave rule Quote
Abigail Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 "Mom, I have to go to the bathroom right NOW!" "Can't you wait just 10 minutes?" "NO!" Mom drives back 20 minutes so kid can use bathroom. NOTE: Now I just tell them to take theirselves behind a bush-but make sure there is not cache nearby! Quote

+Right Wing Wacko Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) I broke my _______________ (insert name of broken appendage or appliance here.) Thats NO excuse! I broke all three bones in my left arm near the elbow (one of them in two places) this last spring while caching. I managed to find 10 more caches that day on the way to the ER Edited December 31, 2005 by Right Wing Wacko Quote
+kdboiler Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I think of The Blues Brothers when I think of excuses: "... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. It's not my fault." Quote
ProfessorFlight Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Not and excuse but would make a cute shirt -- My wife said if I went Geocaching again today she was leaving. I'm gonna miss her. Then from experience -- “What do you girls mean you drank ALL the wine?” Quote
