+Mudfrog Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Not many cachers know this but Signal has a twin. Signal was well liked by his fellow amphibians but Nigsal was always quiet and kept to himself. He began growing more and more jealous of Signal and it wasn't long after he lost his tail, that he began hanging with the wrong friends. Yes, Toads! Like Signal, he enjoyed geocaching but was never very good at it. When he did find a cache, he didn't sign the log and would not place it back the way he found it. Sometimes he never even left his hole but logged caches anyway from the comfort of his recliner. He tried to host two or three events but the turnout was always low and he ended up having to log finds on the temporary caches by himself. If he happened to come across a travelbug, then you can bet that he shared it's tracking number with every toad he saw. He sometimes grabbed those travelbug and that was the last anyone ever saw of them. Breaking the law to get a ftf was nothing to him and soon he had city park personnel, local police, and disgruntled cachers trying to find him. He was finally caught yesterday, exiting the building that his DGS.com website headquarters is located in. p.s. As far as i know, none of the above is true. Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Tsk. Tsk. When frogs go bad. Should have kept him fresh in a cool water pond. Quote Link to comment

Signal was well liked by his fellow amphibians but Nigsal was always quiet and kept to himself. When did the name change happen? AFAIK, Static has always been the name of Signal's Evil Twin. The name Static fits him in more ways than one. Static is what is heard when a signal is being interfered with or the signal is weak and static also means sedentary which is what an armchair cacher is.

Static certainly makes more sense so i must have somehow got this fact wild guess wrong. In either case,, does anyone know what particular geocaching crime was committed? Also, if his bail has been set? I just want to believe there's hope and with our help, still time to save him from "the darkside". Quote Link to comment

Oh my, that's a serious offense. We may have to take up a collection as i imagine the bail is going to be set pretty high. Quote Link to comment

I heard a rumor that he had several throwdown caches in his possesion. And that all the logsheets had stickers of several toad cachers pre attached. Quote Link to comment

7rxc Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Searching the photo, it seems to originate on or close to Apr 1, 2009. Anyone know if Signal was at any events / wild parties related that date in Denver? On another thought... over in Hiking and Backpacking... a while back we identified the existance of Hell Frog's. Those are what you get on BAD Signal Days... perhaps that was what this is a photo of... one that got caught. Doug 7rxc Edited November 17, 2013 by 7rxc Quote Link to comment

+Bunya Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Maybe this one will be more visible. Maybe it's just because I'm in Australia, but it all looks very odd to me. . . There are two people in the front aren't there? Has the policeman at the wheel fallen asleep while his front seat passenger is reading Signal his rights? Why the rope on the street sign? And what about the black Merc in the background . . . Quote Link to comment
+zanadian Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Now I can’t see the image in the first post, thanks giddeanx for posting the pic. The concept of Signal having a disreputable, often misunderstood twin brother (kinda like the black sheep of the family) and hanging around a bad crowd (toads) is hilarious! Good humour people Quote Link to comment
