+wmpastor Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 A recent post said: Trackable are like geocachers: they travel from cache to cache. Other similarities? Differences? Here's mine: TB's are like cachers: they both get lost. Quote
nonaeroterraqueous Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) TB's are like cachers: they get a cute name, posted pics and an occasional story, but in the end, they're just a number. The person above me is best known as number 6508841. Edited January 31, 2015 by nonaeroterraqueous Quote
+kunarion Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 TB's are like cachers: they get a cute name, posted pics and an occasional story, but in the end, they're just a number. The person above me is best known as number 6508841. And somebody always posts the number! We keep telling people "Don't post the number", and what happens! They post the number. Harumph. Present company excluded, of course. Quote
+wmpastor Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 TBs are like cachers because... ... neither one has a verified email address! Ka-ching! Quote
+kunarion Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 TBs are like cachers because... Everybody wants to see one, but they aren't there! It's magical. Like a unicorn or a leprechaun. Quote
+kunarion Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) People stuff one in a duffle bag in their car, and drive all over the place. Wait... I meant TBs. Edited January 31, 2015 by kunarion Quote
nonaeroterraqueous Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 People stuff one in a duffle bag in their car, and drive all over the place. That works best when you follow this rule: Mainstay's TB longevity strategy #1. Drill a great big friggin hole in it to eliminate any collectable qualities.... You see, if you drill a proper hole you can prevent it from walking away and disappearing. Then, once you tag it, you can toss it in your duffle bag and transport it to wherever. Although, I must confess, the last one I found was dumped in a river, and the hole certainly didn't help with the longevity, either. Of course, I was talking about a TB... Quote

Well, that explains why they keep walking away! That, and the fact that the ball chain keeps breaking. Like the one pictured: Edited January 31, 2015 by kunarion Quote
+Foothills Drifter Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Howdy...... Can I discover that T.B. ? Quote
+kunarion Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Howdy...... Can I discover that T.B. ? Of course! Trackables are like cachers... there are compromising photos of them on the 'net. Edited January 31, 2015 by kunarion Quote
+Foothills Drifter Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 There are no compromising photos of me on the net. Not that I know of anyhow........ Quote
+wmpastor Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 There are no compromising photos of me on the net. Not that I know of anyhow........ So you're exactly like many TBs, and so you're on topic. Are you sure that photo above isn't somehow a compromising photo? Quote
+wmpastor Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 Howdy...... Can I discover that T.B. ? On its page the owner says he'll delete virtual discoveries. Its only discovery today (so far) is by someone with "smite" as part of his name. Quote

4wheelin_fool Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) So they often get lost, have no goals, get taken for a ride and kidnapped after staying in sleazy motels while getting logged by multiple people who post compromising photos of them on the net. Sounds pretty wild. Edited February 1, 2015 by 4wheelin_fool Quote

Sounds pretty wild. Those hotels have too many restrictions. Plus, they spend way too much time in the can. Quote

Let us hope they do not get blown up and/or confiscated by the concerned police department - tags that is that were inside questionably placed caches that aroused muggles concern, as the cachers/cach owners would be arrested and their autos/possessions held.

+wmpastor Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 TBs are like cachers... ... they're not seen in the forums. Notice how slow the site is today? Did people have a bit too much beer yesterday? Quote
+The Cheeseheads Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Trackables are like threads in Off-Topic. Sometimes they get picked up and then reappear in a completely different place. Quote
nonaeroterraqueous Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Actually, trackables are like threads in any topic: once you start one, you never really know where it will go, and when you get tired of watching it wander you have no way of killing it. Quote

I would think this thread fits into either the TB forum or off topic. Perhaps it was only meant to be dipped into this forum for mileage. Quote

I'm still trying to figure out how a "fear" thread became a car thread overnight. How'd you pull off *that* heist, Mon? (Not Non.) Quote

I don't know why you are calling me Mon, and have no idea about how you think your post is on topic either. But hey, here's a trackable that is like a cacher, or perhaps a cacher that is a trackable.
