YemonYime Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 And now, for something completely different... First off, the Yimes would like to wish you all a happy and joyous Christmas! If you're anything like us, you're probably sitting around with friends and family. Grandma's telling the same stories as last year...and the year before...and the year before that. You're surrounded by massive foothills of wrapping paper, wondering how on earth you're going to find all those lost receipts. You might be dancing with the urge to pick up your GPS and go hunt something...just to take a little break from the company. Well, it's not polite to go out caching and leave company behind to clean up the plates. Besides, Aunt Judy didn't bring her hiking boots, and she'll look funny out there caching in her apron. We've planted a little something for you geo-hunters to search for from the warmth and comfort of your own keyboard. And here's the prize for the First Finder... For a little different kind of cointest, we've placed a 2009 Compass Rose YemonYime Edition Geocoin somewhere out there in cyberspace. Well, more specifically...on eBay. Okay, now before you get your pajamas in a bunch, here's an obvious disclaimer: Since the item has to have some sort of value price to be on eBay, the winner will have to make a very small purchase. I can assure you...it's reasonable. Now, I might have to drop a few hints here if it's not found as soon as I expect it to be found, but I have plenty of faith in this clever bunch of coiners. Somebody will figure it out soon enough. So if you're up for a little adventure...finish your pie, kiss Aunt Judy, crack your knuckles, and start lookin' around the sea of eBay for a 2009 Compass Rose YemonYime Edition Geocoin. From our family to yours, we wish you all a happy and joyous Christmas! Link to comment
+Ruud4d Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) And a Merry Christmas to all! This is a great prize! Is it on eBay already and can we start the search? I'd love to win this one Edited December 25, 2009 by Ruud4d Link to comment
fendmar Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Ding, ding! A Very Merry Christmas to You and Yours!!! Link to comment
YemonYime Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Yep, it's out there right now drifing on the sea of eBay. She's cut her engines so as to not attract any attention. In other words, it's not gonna be as easy as searching for "compass rose" or "geocoin". But I do expect someone to find it before the auction time runs out! Link to comment
+Howlingmoon Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Ok, I'm confused. Link to comment

Erica-opoly Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 We scouted around, but came up empty Might look again after supper if someone else hasn't found it! Link to comment
YemonYime Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Wow, the early bird certainly got the worm, today. Congratulations to fendmar for being a clever (and fast) super-sleuth. He got it in less than an hour, and I'll let him explain his hunting methods...if he wishes to do so! Thanks everyone, and enjoy the rest of your holiday! Yime Link to comment
+FScout Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) Shoot, missed this hunt. Congrats to the FTF and Merry Christmas to all! Edited December 25, 2009 by FScout Link to comment

+sterni2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Congrats! I have been searching and searching and did not notice there is already a winner. Could you please send the link to the right auction? Link to comment
+cainrcc Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Congrats to fendmar ! Thanks to Yime for the Ridiculus Christmas Scavenger Hunt ! Merry Christmas everyone ! ! Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Oh boy... I am always too late!!! for Yime's cointest! Maybe next time... Merry Christmas Yime family!!!! Congrats to the winner!!!! My wishes to him and to all of you of course, too!!! Link to comment
YemonYime Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) Just in case some might still be looking...we've got a winner! It took less than an hour, and a search on the word "ridiculus" was the dead giveaway. Nobody else was auctioning off anything as ridiculus, I suppose. I originally had it much harder, so I went soft on "yinz". But I can promise you that my evil mind won't hesitate to amp it back up for the next time, whenever that may be....mwuh ha ha HA HA HAAAAh!!! A link to the auction is HERE Thanks again for following along! Yime ETA: Ooh, and Eartha, if ya see this before you get your message, you can shut 'er down at your convenience. Thanks!
