CoyoteRed Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I don't have a problem with it. Quote Link to comment
+SG-MIN Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 That is crazy. I usually don't know the stories of TB's when I pick them up, this one would be a surprise for sure. It seems like people are getting into it based on the photos. Overall, I think it a cool idea, if not a bit odd. I would participate in it. Quote Link to comment
+huskerrich2000 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 i think there was a reference to this tb in a previous thread Quote Link to comment
+LDove Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 I don't check the forums every day, so if it was discussed before, sorry. I just thought it was an unusual item. I would also be happy to "show him around." Lots of people must be interested in it, it has 75 people watching. Quote Link to comment
+HBmamaG Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 It needs to make it to MO or KS and I'll be glad to help Uncle E. Quote Link to comment

+beezerb Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Works for us. Would be glad to help Uncle E in Arkansas. Quote Link to comment
+huskerrich2000 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 i just happened to remember something on this tb, but send it to nebraska also Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Somewhat spooky, but whatever. My question is, if somone drops that thing how will Uncle Elwyn finish his quest? Quote Link to comment
+TheManInStripes Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Somewhat spooky, but whatever. My question is, if somone drops that thing how will Uncle Elwyn finish his quest? His qiuest will end there. I saw the previous thread about him, and thought it was great!! Quote Link to comment
+KBI Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Did anyone other than me bother to decode the rot-13 encrypted part of the description? Quote Link to comment
+cimawr Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) Did anyone other than me bother to decode the rot-13 encrypted part of the description? Yep. I'm not sure I find it funny. I'm also suprised at the number of people who don't seem to have bothered to read the encrypted note.... then again, it's labeled as a "dedication", which implies that it's encrypted because it's personal. <removed spoiler space because I realized that following replies make the space useless> "Yes, this is a joke. Uncle Elwyn came from a Barenaked Ladies skit while on concert and be heard on their 1996 release "Rock Spectacle". Yes, I know this is morbid can and not funny. Yes, I know I am a bad bad Geocacher for doing this. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but then we went past the point of no return." Edited October 7, 2006 by cimawr Quote Link to comment
+Trucker Lee Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 No worse than my wife's father sitting on a shelf in our closet, because regulations where he wished to be put won't allow us to comply with his wishes. (After her mom joins him, we figure "screw the rules). And make it 76 watching, if he comes this way, I'll make a trip to the Angelina Forest to let him camp there also. Quote Link to comment
+mgbmusic Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I figure why not. I would be neverous about the glass component, but if it works, hey run with it! The Decryption add quite a new light ont he subject, my my concern remains...LOL! Quote Link to comment
+Kacky Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) Since it's a spoof, why not? I think it's funny, though my sense of humor has been called into question before. I agree, the glass container does make me nervous. Actually I'd have no problem with real cremains either, but I'm like that. Edited October 8, 2006 by Kacky Quote Link to comment
+DaveA Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.as...0b-810fdeedbeb2 It is featured on the banner on the GC.com web page. I think the idea is mega cool, but I fear some jerk will happen upon it and add it to his/her shiny object drawer instead of doing the honorable thing. Hopefully the placer has prepared his/herself for the possibilty the ashes may be picked up by a geo jerk. Quote Link to comment
+Bad_CRC Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 glad it's not real. that's too weird for me, and I'm pretty twisted. Quote Link to comment
+New England n00b Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Even if it was real, I don't have a problem with this. A little odd, perhaps, but it isn't like it is unsanitary - you aren't (hopefully) sticking your fingers in it. [] Quote Link to comment

+LDove Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) I did not decrypt it, so that adds an interesting spin on this whole thing. I still think it is kinda neat, but also never considered that he could end up in the back of someone's Jeep with other lost travel bugs or worse stolen - yikes! I would probabably not trust myself with the poor guy (if it was real) I tend to lose pens, sunglasses and other assorted geocaching things on my travels being the klutz that I am, and he would probably end up in a bog somewhere.

+cimawr Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 No worse than my wife's father sitting on a shelf in our closet, because regulations where he wished to be put won't allow us to comply with his wishes. I have a friend whose mother put HER mother's cremains under the seat of the car, saying "Well, she always complained she never got to go anywhere, now she can travel around." (I gather that they'd always had something of a turbulent relationship. ) When she, in turn, passed on a few years later, he put both sets of cremains side by side on the mantelpiece so the two of them could continue to squabble.... No, I am NOT making this up! Yes, my friend inherited his twisted sense of humor from his mother. Quote Link to comment
