Deceangi Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 After reading some comments elsewhere I got a need to find out what peoples replies would be [and no it's not a April Fools Joke ] If a set of Stocks was set up at a cache event with a barrel of Wet sponges i: How much would you pay to have a chuck of one at a fellow cacher sat in the stocks? ii: How much would you pay for 5 sponges and the most important question iii: How much would you pay to throw a wet sponge at a Reviewer sat in the stocks Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Might it not depend on who the cacher was or maybe if you had a grudge against a particular reviewer? Not that I do of course... Quote Link to comment

+Munkeh Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) /me looks round the corner to see a long hidden queue forming Edited April 1, 2008 by Munkeh Quote Link to comment
wolfshead57 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 In order to get folk to pay I would set it at 5 sponges for a £1 most folk are too mean to pay any more. Quote Link to comment
ljay Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 5 Sponges for a pound for a regular cacher 5 spongles for 2 pounds for the reviewer. (Please note people will always pay more to throw stuff at TPTB even if they are volunters) Quote Link to comment
+perth pathfinders Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 If all the Reviewers are brave enough, daft enough, gullible enough to give it a go ................ Then I'm daft enough to join the queue with a wet sponge or few!! Quote Link to comment
Deceangi Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 all sounding very commercial....more n more n more Sorry but this is MY idea from comments made as a joke by others. No monies if it did happen would be going in Anyone's pockets! The idea being to create a fun activity for others to enjoy on the day. As stated it's just a idea dependant on Interest and sufficient volunteers. I personally would take a stint in the stocks, as to my colleagues well you'd have to ask them if they were mad enough to volunteer Personally I know I've got a screw or 2 lose Quote Link to comment
+Eckington Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 all sounding very commercial....more n more n more Personally I know I've got a screw or 2 lose ....what is it that Churchill dog says? ......"Oh Yesssss" Quote Link to comment
+The Lavender Hill Mob Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 5 Sponges for a pound for a regular cacher 5 spongles for 2 pounds for the reviewer. (Please note people will always pay more to throw stuff at TPTB even if they are volunters) I'd pay that plus.......50p a sponge for cachers who own a devious micro in woods and £1 a sponge for FTF sharks.

+Simply Paul Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 How about free frozen sponges for throwing at anyone placing caches on dog poo bins?Are there any? Oh yes... ...although this one was a temporary one; a magnetic 'easter egg' (!) hidden especially for SenseiTSKC, famed hater of dog-poop bin caches. Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 How about free frozen sponges for throwing at anyone placing caches on dog poo bins? Are there any? Oh yes... I did one in Biscester with Little Miss Naughty and Pengy and Tigger last year... eugh!!!! Quote Link to comment
+studlyone Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Oh yes... I did one in Biscester with Little Miss Naughty and Pengy and Tigger last year... eugh!!!! I trust the cache was on the outside of the bin (sat here cringing at the thought ) LOL. Quote Link to comment
+mongoose39uk Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Any way, 5 for £1 for a normal Vounteer. 5 for £2 for a reviewer Free frozen ones to throw at dog poo cache owners? Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Wouldn't there be a danger that if you were too accurate you'd never get another cache published again!!! Quote Link to comment
+The Bongtwashes Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Any way, 5 for £1 for a normal Vounteer. 5 for £2 for a reviewer Free frozen ones to throw at dog poo cache owners? I'll go along with those prices, except can't we arrange a dunking stool for dog poo cache owners? (no. not to throw at them!) Quote Link to comment
+Scotsbob Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Wonder which cachers the reviewers would put in the stocks? Answers on a postcard or just posted (The reviewers need not commit themselves) Quote Link to comment

+pklong Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 How much would peeps pay to throw a sponge at a Geocoin theif or a cache muggler?... frozen of course Quote Link to comment

Coin thieves deserve a special treat, how about combining them with the dog poo caches...? Quote Link to comment

goneforaburton Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Is this still an ongoing thread? I'd happily volunteer if the money was going to charity. Maybe we should make it more interesting and have the pillory locked and the keys placed in a tricky cache somewhere near the event? The first person to find the keys gets to give a forfeit to the victim. Or, if the victim is the one who sets the cache, maybe we could time how long it takes to find the keys. If it's before an allotted time, the volunteer has to undergo a forfeit perhaps? Could make the whole exercise more interesting! Quote Link to comment
