+JZKA Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 anyone else have that tune in their head now? if not watch this - so we decided to come up with a code word when searching for caches where there are a lot of muggles. the kids decided that "peanut" should be the code word - and when we find it thats the trigger to let others know to stop looking. so of course - i find the first one - and this dang song comes into my head because i had to say "found a peanut" i will never hear kids sing this again without thinking of geocaching Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 "peanut" should be the code word - and when we find it thats the trigger to let others know to stop looking. No, you should first walk 20 feet away from the cache. THEN you sing the peanut song, while the others continue the hunt. This repeats until there's just one unfortunate soul still searching, to a full choir of "Found A Peanut" Quote Link to comment

This repeats until there's just one unfortunate soul still searching, to a full choir of "Found A Peanut" The words were slightly different when I was a kid. "found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut over there"! So I had a mental image of a group caching the huckle, buckle, beanstalk method tauntingly pointing in the general direction of GZ!

+The Leprechauns Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I think that, if you find a peanut out in the wild, it is sick and inhumane to eat it or to even talk in a forum thread about eating it! A caring cacher would rescue the peanut, take it home and adopt it. If their home situation does not allow for them to care for the peanut, then they should take it to a shelter or give the peanut to someone who knows how to "rehome" lost legumes. Now, before anyone brings up the "hamster" issue, please remember that those are trade items, not things that I find in the wild. Quote Link to comment
+Klatch Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 <snip>...then they should take it to a shelter or give the peanut to someone who knows how to "rehome" lost legumes. Interesting that folks want to 'rescue' the peanut but don't want to raise the thing... they immediately start looking for someone else to do it! Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yeah, peanuts are cute and cuddly when you find them, but let a litter of them sit in the living room for a month and one's opinion can quickly change. Quote Link to comment
+Castle Mischief Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 At the risk of going off topic and away from the subject of legumes... What is the origin of the "huckle buckle beanstalk"? Quote Link to comment
Pajaholic Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 At the risk of going off topic and away from the subject of legumes... What is the origin of the "huckle buckle beanstalk"? AFAICT it's an American version of "Hunt the Thimble", which was a popular English parlour game. How it got called "Huckle Buckle Beanstalk" I have no idea, but you might find more info here.

+The Leprechauns Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Do you recall what was revealedThe day the signal died? We started singing, "bye-bye, miss american frog." There's a quorum in the forums, But we can't write a log. Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye And singin, "this'll be the day that I die. "this'll be the day that I die." Oh, and there we were all in one place, At an event cache lost in space With no time left to start again. So come on: jack be nimble, jack be fast! Jack flash sat on a guardrail cache Cause micros are the devil's only friends. I could go on, but out of respect for okie-wan, I'll stop. Quote Link to comment
