+Slower Pace Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 1. I also wonder why people cannot cover the cache back up so someone passing by won't accidently discover and steal it? Perhaps they think that since they found it, they don't care if it gets compromised now. 2. Some people take something of value and leave a penny or used ink pen or something of much less value. Come on friends, let's keep this ball rollin'. Link to comment

If we knew whereabouts you lived, we might better understand why you are the way you are! Perhaps the reason I hate locationless caches is because I'm a locationless cacher. Actually, there was a thread sometime back where people were trying to deduce each other's location based on their cache finds and hides. That's when I decided to be less specific in my profile. The thread eventually died out, but I never changed my profile back. I know I've told a few people who frequent these forums where I live, but the rest will just have to figure it out. But I don't think knowing where I live will help you understand why I am the way I am. Worldtraveler Link to comment

+TeamJiffy Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 I am not a fan of excessively personal logs that don't tell you much about the cache. They remind me of those Christmas letters that praise 8-year-old Johnny's violin recital. I also hate the reference to "the wife" "The wife and I decided, after eating pork chops and apple sauce for dinner, to get into our new SUV with 8-speaker sound, and find a Geocache with our new Garmin V. We first decided to get a quick bite to eat at this fantastic restaurant, PeePoo's, which serves a wonderful mix of Chinese/Irish food, with Scottish deserts. Their Moo-shu Corned beef and lamb chow-main are delicious. Try the haggis to top it off. We decided to get tickets to the superbowl, and chartered our own plane to take us there. We put on our new reeboks, and found the cache. Nice cache. TNLN" [This message was edited by TeamJiffy on September 21, 2002 at 07:11 AM.] Link to comment

You probably would not like Oregone's logs. That's too bad. Oregone sometimes doesn't even mention the cache but for a sentence or two, and the rest is hilarious rambling. I made a log entry in Oregone style once. I like those kind of logs... they provide an excellent mental image. Jamie Link to comment

+TeamJiffy Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 I just checked out Oregone's logs, and JamieZ is right - they are lots of fun, and contain none of the arrogance that I see in other logs. Therefore, I now have to change what I said earlier to "I hate logs that are arrogantly overly personal, and praise the person writing it, but love those that are just plain interesting, like Oregone's" -Jif of TeamJiffy Link to comment

Seems his most recent logs are quite short. There is a thread somewhere about funny logs, and one of his wins easily. I hope I can find it.. he has so many logs. I'll have to do a forum search. Jamie Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Ok.. this isn't the one I was thinking of, but it's a typical Oregone log. This is the log, in its entirety: quote:August 30 by oregone (487 found)I don't know. There's this weird part of me that's always said that i'm on the wrong path. Growing up in Woodburn, i never felt at home. The confines of a small town--a place where everyone knows you and everything you do--were almost too much for me to handle. I think that explains why i USUALLY feel so at home in the relative anonymity of portland: that guy at the 7-11 i see almost every morning doesn't know my first name and i can get too tipsy at the barley mill and hit on japanese tourists and not have it end up on the front page of the paper the next morning. but more often than not, i wonder what would have happened. everyone has these little 'alternative universe' theories about what woulda, coulda, or shoulda happened had they not broken up with so-and-so back in freshman year of college, or if they'd taken that job in chicago three years ago, or perhaps if they'd taken that damned paternity test or something. small towns: before my visit to raymond, washington, i thought i could sum them up in five words: wanda from estacada taco time. after high school, i moved to the outskirts of estacada and--lacking anything better to do in the middle of the woods--would cruise the drive-thru of taco time looking for, uh, entertainment. and wanda fit the bill perfectly. what is it about red hair, ponytails, and too many freckles that make you want to quit any aspirations of college and just stay in your 2-story pole building for the rest of your life? perhaps it's those crazy body-suits with the little crotch snaps that were so popular in the early nineties. again, i don't know. my love affair with small towns (and with wanda) died after she left me for stupid art alexakis. That explains why i never liked that stupid everclear band. and although i never wanted to go back to wanda, i DID want to go back to small towns. if not estacada, then perhaps a town not too unlike it. you know, like perhaps raymond, washington. To say the least, i was ill-prepared for what was to happen upon my arrival. Not one mention of the cache... Jamie Link to comment

+Jamie Z Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 quote:Originally posted by TeamJiffy:What ever happened to a little bell? Or "on your left!" or such... TJ, I am a cyclist, although a roadie and not a trail rider. And I have to say that in the rare encounter I have with a pedestrian, the last thing I want to do is holler "on your left" as I'm approaching. I realize it's what's taught, and around other cyclists, I use that call... but in the few times that I've used that technique, what has happened every time is the pedestrian stops, turns toward me (usually to their left), and moves left, right into my way. I don't understand why... I guess "on your left" is not universal, and folks are startled. Usually what I'll do if I can't simply give them a wide berth is to holler something about "coming up from behind." That doesn't work well, either. Um, I'm not sure what the answer is. Good complaint. Jamie Link to comment

+Zartimus Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 When I used to live in a bad part of town(if COPS was on TV I'd turn it off and look out the window - it was a better show), I noticed most people who drove up to their freind's houses were universally too lazy to get out of their cars and ring the doorbell. They would come to a screeching stop outside a house and beep their horns incessantly for a full minute. This often meant that everyone on the street would have to walk to their front door or window to see if the moron in the car was there for you. Everyone did this - all the time(of course I quickly became too lazy to walk to the front window and check. It was a battle of the lazies). In Vanier the car-horn doubled as a doorbell Where's a RPG when you need one. Link to comment
