+Jango & Boba Fett Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 Swap Fever A form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder thought to be transmitted by the bite of a Travel Bug. Early symptoms include the need to eat McD Happy Meals and lurking in the party bag aisle of supermarkets. As the malady develops down two distinctive pathways are observed: the Upper and the Downer. Uppers are easily identified by their large caching bags which barely contain their contents of stuffed animals, Memory Map CDs and bottles of malt Whisky. On the other hand Downers are easily identified by their large caching bags which barely contain their contents of McD give aways, the CD in last weeks Daily Mail, sea shells and small stones. The victims of Swap Fever can often be heard to mutter if it's in the cache it's fair game. In its most extreme form sufferers have even been known to swap their goodies for complete caches. If you suspect that yourself or someone you know is suffering from Swap Fever, try this short quiz: most of our cupboards are filled with trinkets I often try to use GeoCoins as real money whenever I go shopping I mostly buy swaps I will buy a newspaper/magazine if it has free give aways last Christmas we didn't have turkey as I made everyone have a Happy Meal the main feature I look for in a car is boot/back seat storage capacity if it's in the cache container its up for swapping I have photographs of my swap collection I have posted photographs of my swaps my caching avatar is a photograph of my swap collection there is no such thing as an overstuffed cache if I won the lottery I'd be straight down to Woolworth's If you can answer yes to four or more questions then you may be suffering from Swap Fever, do not despair, with proper treatment a cure is possible. As a first step try limiting yourself to microcaches - its hard stuffing a teddy into a 35mm film canister. Swap Fever = n.; disease contracted by partner-sharing "swingers" You need to stay off the Terrain 5 caches Torry, especially anything with an attribute. By the way how did you score on the quiz?

+Jango & Boba Fett Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Cache-ooo! Semi-autonomous, convulsive expulsion of air from the nose and mouth, often caused by coming into contact with pocket lint or micro-spew. Treatment may involve a large dose of 5/5 Rutson's Embrocation, failing that forceable removal to County Offaly or the Orkney Islands is recommended. Quote Link to comment

+Jango & Boba Fett Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Badger-Mongoose Two headed stripy mammal, native to the northern Welsh Marches where its nocturnal habits are well known. Prefers to sleep on grass verges. Rarely observed in the open it prefers to rummage around under hedges and bushes muttering "its the numbers that matter". Diet consists of bacon butties and mugs of tea. Often found lurking in chat rooms. The Badger-Mongoose is rumoured to be the result of a freak accident in the laboratory of Dr Frankenblorenge although in a recent statement Dr Frankenblorenge denied any involvement and she suggested that the Badger-Mongoose resulted from the spontaneous reaction between a soft toy and the primordial soup at the bottom of a tupperware box hidden deep in the Welsh Mountains.
