The Commandments of Geocaching

[+Snoogans]

1. Thou shalt not taketh the name of Snoogans in vain.

2. Thou shalt sacrifice thy travel bugs unto the community. If they returneth to thou it was meanteth to be.

3. Blessed are the micros for they shall inherit geocaching.

4. Speaketh not of the wetness of thy neighbors log and ignore the mold on thine own.

5. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors geocoins or other trackables.

6. Thou shalt not holdeth thy neighbor accountable to thine own aesthetic sensibilities.

7. Thou shalt holdeth thine own self accountable for thine own choices of how to spendeth thine own free quality time.

8. Thou shalt always remember that geocaching is dependent upon the good will of other cachers who hideth the caches for thou to findeth and hosteth the events thou attendeth.

9. Thou shalt looketh after thine own safety and the safety of thine own valuables and remain alerteth for danger at all times.

10. Thou shalt not bear false witness unto muggles, and always explaineth that thou art geocaching.

 

Add subtract or make up a new set of your own.

 

Remembereth to have fun....

[+K13]

I give you a new commandment.... Love Geocaching with all your being and treat your fellow Geocachers and their their geocaches as you want them to treat you and your caches.

[AZcachemeister]

Too late.

I have been shouting 'Snoogans-dammit' every time I find an ODS cache, for years.

 

Of course that is just the beginning of my 'barking at the moon tirade', but it seems best to leave the remainder to the imagination.

[+WRASTRO]

I will commiteth as long as I do not have to subject myself to #1. Move it to number two and I might be a bit more willing to play along. Who knows what may be necessary to placate all beyond number one.

[+Snoogans]

Too late.

I have been shouting 'Snoogans-dammit' every time I find an ODS cache, for years.

Going through an OSHA environmental manual for a work project today, my eyes fell upon the term ODS. It stands for Ozone Depleting Substance.

 

So, besides ruining geocaching, it appears I have inadvertently caused global warming too.

Hideth caches for others, as you would have them hideth caches for you!

[+bjohio]

When the day of reckoning comes, those who are last to find will be first, and those who are first to find will be last.

 

Humble yourself before Groundspeak, and they will exalt you.

 

And that no cache is hidden from his sight, but all are exposed to those whom have an account.

 

Blessed are those who remain steadfast, for they shall receive a smiley.

 

Muggles are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of Geocaching because of their ignorance that is in them.

 

[+Castle Mischief]

Thou shall not maketh thine own self the center of every discussion.

[4wheelin_fool]

Thou shall not maketh thine own self the center of every discussion.

 

I wonder what Lord Snoogan's version of Ezekiel 23:20 is?

[+The Jester]

Do not lay up for yourself treasures in caches, where water seeps in and destroys, and where muggles open and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in your coin book, where water doesn't seep in and destroy, and where muggles do not open and steal.

What global warming? It's April 16th and we're expecting another 6" of snow tomorrow.

Thou shalt not worship free apps, nor seek premium caches if thou art a basic member; instead thou shalt worship the number 528.

I hate putting 'eth' at the end of everything like a root canal so here's my modern-day-language list:

 

1) No hobby is more important than geocaching.

2) See number 1.

3) Do not take the name of your reviewer in vain (even when they reject your cache).

4) Be sure to go geocaching every Sunday.

5) Take your father and mother geocaching (unless they really resist).

6) Don't drive over any little old ladies on the way to a FTF.

7) No hanky-panky at GZ.

8) Don't steal other people's caches (unless they really suck).

9) If you didn't find it, don't log it.

10) Don't compare your find count to someone else's.

Go forth and Haveth Fun!

 

That is all.

I'm sure George Carlin could reduce that list a bit.

YES!

Thou shalt always remain honest and faithful to the provider of thy geocaches.

How about "Ten Things I Need to Know in Life I Learned From Geocaching?"

 

1. If it's damp, dry it; if it's full, replace it.

2. Try a little of everything before you say you don't like it.

3. Trade up or at least trade even.

4. Be as accurate as possible.

5. Put things back where you found them.

6. Don't keep things that aren't yours.

7. Always watch where you're going.

8. Play fair.

9. Know your limitations. Go beyond them sometimes anyway.

10. If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

You are going to make the number of post much smaller! Ha HA!

I am still around...just not as much as I used to be...I should probably get back into Off-Topic where someone like me belongs...

 

I usually am referred to as..."What a Snoogan Smart-Snoogan"....

Hideth caches for others, as you would have them hideth caches for you!

 

Absolutely perfect, the golden rule of geocaching.

Yeah. Reminds me of the local weatherman who says 'You should schleppeth your umbrella.' Mixing Yiddish with Biblical Middle Endlish??? -eth died many years ago.

I will pass on #5 since my parents died many years ago. Yeah. My father died 45 years ago. My mopher would have been 101 this year!

2) Have fun! That's what it's all about.

Well in that case, you could still honor your father and mother by placing a geocache in their honor.
