+GoldKey Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Just got this travel bug and found its goal funny. http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=3491 Anyone else come across a bug with a humorous goal?

Did you read the goal for this one, it seems that the bug is part of a practical joke. "We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.

+Markwell Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I'll take special credit on this one, though. I thought that the bug in question was the FUNNIEST thing I had seen in many days. I was immediately trying to come up with a way of doing the same exact thing to a high school buddy of mine. So I put the bug on my watch list, and have been laughing all the while. I still am working on a way to get my friend... Markwell Chicago Geocaching Quote Link to comment

+Planet Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I just added Fat Bas**** to my watch list. What a hoot. I hope I can grab him when he heads north. Heck I'd drive south just to get him. I'm thinking of taking a TB from CT to FL jsut to make sure it gets where it's going and visit relatives and cache my way all the way down. Maybe I could combine the two bugs in one trip! And on another not, check out this shot of the FBTB: looks like the geologo guy is running away with the ice cream on the label....... well sort of, (right above where it says Dreyer's) Cache you later, Planet "It doesn't matter whether you're going somewhere or nowhere, whether you're doing something or nothing.

+mrplug Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Curiousity got the best of me and I just called this guy a minute ago. He's hilarious. He knows about the joke and why he's getting the calls. Says he got called earlier today from Tallahassee, FL. What a riot! Quote Link to comment

+cargolax Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Not a travel bug, but a great cache. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=303 This was the 303rd Cache site for Geocaching.com Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Hey - ship him toward Chicago. My wife and I have been DYING to get him ever since we saw the first thread. We'll be down in TN in Dec. Markwell Chicago Geocaching Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Why can't people follow instructions? The funniest Travel Bug just lost it's purpose in life because someone told. Not fair! Think how many cachers are now not able to be in on the joke. Does anyone know how this happened?!!? Did he guess? Was he told? Cache you later, Planet Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. Quote Link to comment

allwalk Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I'm new to this game and have found 15 cache's so far. I thought it would be nice to add a travel bug. My accomplice Tess came up with this great idea. We want to see how many Bigfoot sightings we can see across North America. IF you should find him and have a camers please take your picture with him and post it for us .......Thanks in advance.

+Stunod Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 You should edit your bigfoot picture to remove the Travel Bug ID number...some annoying people will log it as found. Also, your link has the IMG tag in it...you should edit it out (or insert the first IMG tag) "Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand." Quote Link to comment

+Mopar Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 I too have been following this bug's journey for almost a year now! Since his goal is to make it to someplace near were I live, I've been watching closely, hoping that I could make the final delivery. Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. Quote Link to comment

+wimseyguy Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 is one of the funniest things going on this website, and there is some pretty stiff competition. I had stumbled across the earlier thread a while back, and after reading this one decided to add him to my watch list as well. I'm number 102!! What other cache/TB and that many accounts watching it/him/her???? Too funny These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes; Nothing remains quite the same. Through all of the islands and all of the highlands, If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane Quote Link to comment

+joefrog Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Well, I thought one of my bug goals was pretty entertaining; figures that it's been done before! I didn't think to check until earlier today to search for "beer" in the travel bugs. Ah, well -- he'll have a fun journey, just the same... I hope!
