Guest geospotter Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 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... Quote Link to comment
Guest Pumpkin Princess Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 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! Quote Link to comment

Guest King Pellinore Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment

Guest geospotter Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 How about a Haiku Haiku? It takes too much time To count Haiku syllables Words don't even rhyme! Any more ideas like King Pellinore's? Quote Link to comment

Guest tenami Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 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" Quote Link to comment
Guest geospotter Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 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? Quote Link to comment

Guest pater47 Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 ..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."

Guest Eoghan Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 How about a t-shirt in hunters orange with a geocaching logo on the front and BIG letters on the back saying "Don't shoot me, I'm just Geocaching!" Quote Link to comment
