+Scooter Rider Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I just found a cache that I was the FTF. I filled in the log and put it back. Then I found myself at a loss. Just what is appropriate FTF behavior? Here a list that ran through my mind. Pumping fist in the air Thumping chest Low pitch hoots Look around to be sure no one was around and do the forbidden happy dance that is not fit for the eyes of civilize man . So just what is appropriate behavior for this situation? Better yet what did you do on your first FTF Quote Link to comment
+Dragery Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Better yet what did you do on your first FTF I ran VERY fast in my suit and tie across a football field to get to my car because I was now running late for work. Edited September 28, 2010 by Dragery Quote Link to comment
+Ecylram Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 After the FTF, you must perform the secret ritual that seals the award. Until that's done, you can't claim the FTF. Quote Link to comment

What women call civilized and what men call it is one topic I don't think I would touch with a ten foot pole Edited September 28, 2010 by Scooter Rider Quote Link to comment

+geodarts Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Better yet what did you do on your first FTF I signed the log in the cache, and then wrote an online log just like I always do. Being the first to sign a brand new log seemed self-evident and not particularly noteworthy, so I did not use the initials or make any particular reference to it. I continue the practice today.

+BulldogBlitz Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 brag about how hard your decision was to have the rolls bring you to the cache... or the helicopter.... Quote Link to comment
+jindi kid Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 funny if it was a replacement log book and u were the first to log in that book Quote Link to comment
Andronicus Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) funny if it was a replacement log book and u were the first to log in that book I got a FTSNL (First to sign new log) a couple of times. Always bragged about it in my online log (tounge in cheek of course). My latest FTF there were to many muggles around to do any celebratory manouvers. My son (LarryBoy3) Held up a Australian flag patch he traded for and kept chanting "I'm the King of the Wilderness". It was in a off leash dog park, so not quite sure what the whole wilderness thing was about...But he was having fun. Edited September 28, 2010 by Andronicus Quote Link to comment
+GeoGeeBee Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Better yet what did you do on your first FTF I ran VERY fast in my suit and tie across a football field to get to my car because I was now running late for work. That's very much what I did, too. Except remove "across a football field" and insert "up a forest trail." Quote Link to comment

+Red_Devil35 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Mine was a puzzle that I had searched for two other times with no luck, and several other more experienced cachers had also DNFd. So, we did a little happy dance! Of course it was dark, so no one saw us. Quote Link to comment

Better yet what did you do on your first FTF For me it was a 30 mile trip one way I breathed a sigh of re leaf and off to log my victory the whole time screaming for joy inside.

+roziecakes Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I think it was cold and at night in Colorado, so we ran back to our car to get warm after our first FTF. Quote Link to comment
