Ideas?

I did some computer work for someone recently and he has kindly offered to return the favor. His business is printing paper bags (paper only) and silk-screening T-shirts (he could probably silk-screen other items, but I know he has the shirts in stock).

 

I'd like to get something to do with Geocaching, but I can't think of anything other than a "My parents went Geocaching and all they got me was this lousy T-shirt" sort of idea. So I call on the infinite wisdom of this group for ideas.

 

Remember, he can't do plastic bags so the "Cache in/Trash out" bag idea probably wouldn't work since the paper bags are too large to fold into a cache.

 

As a reward, I'll send one of the items to the one who comes up with the idea I use.

 

Put on your thinking caps...

Tee shirts, eh?? For enjoyment of Haiku poetry, perhaps you could use:

*

Be one with the cache

Search high, search low - don't give up

Where is that dadgum cache?!?!

*

Haiku = the division of 17 syllables into three groups of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

 

Of course you could substitute a more 'pc' word for 'dadgum' considering it is 1 syllable. Good luck with your venture and happy caching! Ciao!

I search for a box

Hidden deep in the forest

This cache eludes me

 

===================

 

Use coordinates

Find box in the wilderness

Go find another

how about the logo?

 

Or "Found It!" on the front and "Didn't Find It!" on the back?

 

or a picture of an ammo can with "www.geocaching.com" stenciled on it

 

or "Cache-Bagger" or "Cache Hunter" blazoned right across the chest

Markwell, you're a natural! Love your haikus!

Here's my attempt:

 

GPS on hand

Crossing streams climbing mountains

Find cache log entry

How about a variation on the "My parents went Geocaching and all they got me was this lousy T-shirt" theme.

 

"My parents went Geocaching and all they FOUND was this lousy T-shirt"

Tenami,

 

I actually laughed out loud when I read your idea. I love it.

 

If that's what I go with, I'll have them printed in small children's sizes, perfect for stashing in caches.

 

I'll give it a couple more days before I decide. Any other ideas?

I only wish there was an icon for crying. My eyes tear up at the sight of geocaching haiku.

Uhhh..., maybe I'm a prevert but that could be interpreted in another way. Not a good way either.

That's the point ... it follows the age old art of "_____s do it _______" bumper stickers. ... By the way, Brenna ... yours is ten times funnier than mine ... I was drawing a blank and the accuracy thing was as good (lame?) as I could think up on the spot.

Heh, hehe... rdwatson78: yeah, I was joking around in a naughty way. (thanks for getting the joke, DisQuoi!)

 

The only "unit" I have, though, is a 315. :D

 

So, I suppose nobody wants to hear my other one: Geocachers Give Better Heading

 

Bahahahhah!

I got that. I was talking about another-nother way. Unit in hand. Think......... OH! I'll leave it at this so that I don't destroy, pollute, or poison the minds of the young and/or impressionable.

"SHOW ME THE CACHE!!!!"

 

"CACHE IN HAND"

 

"CACHE ON"

"CACHE OFF"

 

"MY OTHER GPS IS A GARMIN"

or

"MY OTHER GPS IS A MAGELLAN"

Single dad looking for, dang, what the heck was I looking for again??? Where's my GPS?

..or you could support Jeremy and geocaching.com by purchasing the t-shirts, cache decals, window decals, etc. that are already designed. The "Do it within 19 feet of accuracy" idea would be a great conversation starter!

 

Since this shirt's a "gimme", though, other suggestions:

 

1.) "If found, please return me to (home coordinates)".

 

2.) Have a huge travel bug printed on it. Stick it in a cache along with a disposable camera and laundry marker. As each finder takes it to a new location, they sign their name on the shirt, take their picture with it on and pass it on. There are many caches though that are already so full, no t-shirt would fit.

 

3.) "Old Geocachers never die. We just get archived."

ACHERS DO IT WITH ACCURACY"

 

and in smaller letters just below that:

 

"(+/- 19 feet)"
