+AkitaDad & AkitaMom Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 While researching caches to score on vacation in Oregon we have found numerous references to "Aliens"...We're curious to find out whom "Aliens" are...is the term used for "Non-cachers"? Sorry if this is a dumb question... Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Yep! Aliens, Geomuggles, etc... anyone without a GPSr Quote Link to comment
+Boojum Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Didn't you hear about the crashed extra-terrestrial ship here in the NW about 5 years ago? Those little guys are spreading like weeds now! Quote Link to comment
+AkitaDad & AkitaMom Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 Thank you for answering! Now we're equipped to better hunt in your area. We are taking 3 weeks in October to cache and wander around from Nevada to BC and especially in Oregon. You have so many interesting sounding caches! Thanks again. Quote Link to comment
Sassquatch Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I usually refer to non cachers as humans as I surely am not. I just saw so many caches placed in the woods where I live that I decided to join in. Tommy can you see me, can you feel me near you. Quote Link to comment
+Gloom Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Also heard of non-cachers refered to as trolls, but that was mostly in southern oregon. ---- Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together. Quote Link to comment
+travisl Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I call 'em geomuggles. "Why don't you just ask somebody?" "No, no. I've got a map. Don't worry about that." Quote Link to comment
+Sparrowhawk Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 "Aliens"... "geomuggles"... I have to grin at this. See, I hang with a science fiction crowd, and in THAT subculture, outsiders are called "mundanes". Come hang out at a science fiction convention (a REAL fan-organized event, not some Trek CreationCon for-profit thing, thank you) and you may find some SF fans playing "freak the mundanes". This is a game which consists of cruising the "real" world just outside the convention, say in a Safeway, in full costume, just to watch all the mundane brains grind to an incredulous halt... -Elana (who never joined such a game, but has laughed her head off at some of the stories she has heard... like the time some clueless hotel just HAD to schedule a SF con at the same time as a baptist religous convention... there's an occasional debate as to who melted down first...)

"Mundanes" seems to have traveled to SF cons by way of the SCA attendees, most of whom can't distinguish between fact and fantasy... but that's another matter. We like to call the CreationCons "Ferengi Cons." It fits well with Trek and for-profit. Quote Link to comment
bellemanda Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 it is speculative fiction, thank you. all i call them is people. I am funny that way though. well, people that can't see me rooting around in rotten tree stumps for tubberware. ~~ I'm not great enough to be modest. Quote Link to comment
