+opey one Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Seems to me, there should be a geocachers union. That's right a UNION. I'm sure some will think of this as a touchy subject, but I am thinking along a sense of humor, so bear with me. First of all, we are (in some way, shape or form) a union. We are a community that share many same values and we are seeking the main goal, whether in a roundabout way--The Cache! Some look for the find, some the hide, the hunt, interesting twists to it all- we ALL are alike! We are similar in many facts: We love geocaching and the fun that ensues We all enjoy a great hunt We all enjoy a great find We all enjoy a great hide We all have and have not enjoyed hides, hunts, finds that are meaningless, contain junk, are hid in poor judgement, etc.--- It's all part of the experience. We all enjoy meeting great, interesting and sometimes strange or unique people in the pursuit of the above. We all strive to make our community better, in many ways (Cache in , Trash out speaks volumes, as there are others - mentioned in the forums) that reflect on character, judgement, self esteem, morals, values ---I could go on and on. *We all love the forums (don't lie and say you do not love forums or charges will be pending that consists of automatic suspension of your GPS for 30 days and a minimum of five working days without forum privileges). And I'm sure there are many others that I've missed. This is one of few internet based "communities" (much compared by my peers - as another typical chat and log room, as I found myself quickly and verbally, maybe, in some cases physically informed them differently - All in fun (so don't get worked up out there). And our union representative will be ??????? I got it.... How bout UMC? He has the most forum posts build up in a hurry, so it sounds like he has the biggest mouth to get the bulls**t across to Jeremy and administration the quickest. Just kidding (but he would make a good one, no doubt). UMC has been a good friend of mine here on the forums and he has really helped me out on many occasions, so I decided to pick on him a little. We could touch on many topics (Are you listening, Jeremy??) Maybe I have created a monster, but I do enjoy it all and just had nothing better to do than, well, what I just did You all take it from here, and keep the fun going!!! P.S. To administration: That 5/5 Cache atop Mount St. Helens - should have at least a handrail along the tricky parts, jeez!! Let's go GCFW (Geocaching Federation of the World) Work with me on the Name--Sounds like some wrestling organization, but I'll leave it for now. Later! *Geocaching constitution regards highly of forum posts...Ask UMC Quote Link to comment

+Mr. Snazz Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 1) Unions are corrupt and suck big-time. 2) How is it any less offensive to say H*LL than HELL? Quote Link to comment
+T & G's Adventures Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Most likely the "H*ll" is simply a poke at political correctness, and who the h*ll cares about THAT? Now, back to the topic... So when does the Geocaching magazine hit the stands? I can just see the throngs lining up at the magazine rack at Safeway, and having it turn ugly when someone grabs the last issue and runs for the checkout stand. I can't wait. Um, honey, did you mark a waypoint for the car? Quote Link to comment

Tahosa and Sons Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 First off who is going to pay a Cacher to hunt. And pay them at outrageous rates. Second who will be the cache assistant. Union personel will have to have someone bend over and retrieve the cache. Then you will have to a Cache Opener, then it will have to go the the bargain table as to wheather a trade or a TNLN is done. And after that you will have to have a secretary to post your log for you. And don't forget the guide to get you back to your Chaufered "Union Made Vehicle" Its more fun being non-union and do what you like to do as an individual not as a voting member of the rank and file.

Um, honey, did you mark a waypoint for the car? If there were a Geocaching magazine, would we really want it to be as simple as walking down to the Safeway and picking it up? No, I think that there should be stacks of 'em randomly placed in areas all over the US. Then, of course, the coordinates would be posted here for the various locations, and we then have to go hunt them out. Quote Link to comment

ArchieDH Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 brdad, The lady on the cover of your mag. gets my vote. She's VERY cute. I'm sure she already knows what. I noticed another lady geocacher who could also make the the list of "Lady's of Geocaching". I do not know her. Her cacheing name is, "tomeboy", I beleive. She can very easily make the list. You just might be on to something here. I'll keep my good eye open for other "Lady's of Geocaching". ArchieDH (way down south) ps.. I hope the ladies will take all this as a compliment, as it was intended. [This message was edited by ArchieDH on November 02, 2002 at 11:56 AM.] Quote Link to comment
+T & G's Adventures Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I see the magazine is taking shape. There will HAVE to be a 'lonely hearts' section where non-partnered Geocachers go to try to hook up with other non-partnered Geocachers. Maybe a 'win-a-date' monthly contest where celebrity Geocachers offer themselves up as prizes. Uh, there MUST be some celebrity cachers out there, musn't there? How about pictures of the best Geocaching tatoos? And a section on where to buy your Geocaching piercing paraphernalia And of course, the customary 'letters to the editor' section where readers can write in and ***** about all this! And the previous poster (whose name I forgot already due to my brain being too full of coordinates) is right about not simply stacking the magazines up at Safeway. Locating them as caches sounds good. But then, how do you meet Geocachers of the opposite sex like that? But then again, who cares - right? We're looking for caches, not companionship... Oh, and last but not least, the special plastic covered issue with a CD enclosed with the 'best of' pictures that have come out of 'cache cameras' nationwide (including the special Adults Only folder where you have to prove your age by answering inane questions about stuff that happened 30+ years ago in order to gain access). Have we forgotten anything? Um, honey, did you mark a waypoint for the car? Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I can't believe there isn't ONE article on the Lake Tahoe Desolation Wilderness in that magazine. I tried Markwelling that thread but it probably still won't die. Cache you later, Planet I feel much more like I do now than when I first got here. Quote Link to comment

+honeychile Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Regarding the "Girls of Geocaching" issue of the magazine , I thought some of you might be interested in what "Angele's sister" is up to these days. Her name is Rosie and she is an Army journalist in the XVIII Airborne Corps. Right now she is serving our country very much in harm's way as her job requires her to get in the middle of the action and take photographs. You can see two of her photos here and here, giving you a pretty good idea of the kind of action she's involved in (btw, I imagine she was annoyed to be identified as a Marine in those credits). One of her photos was chosen as Fox News' photo of the week. Finally, here's a photo of Rosie (she's the one on the left) that might be a better choice for the Girls of Geocaching issue. You might say a prayer tonight for the safety of our geocaching gal. Hats off to Rosie. [This message was edited by honeychile on March 31, 2003 at 03:07 PM.] Quote Link to comment

Don't have nothing to say about No 1. But No. 2 comes from having sites change your words for you when you happen to say ***** about a topic or when you want to point out that someone is being an ***. So you resort to funky typing to outmaneuover the sensor. Unfortunaly I can't keep track of what all will get edited. Wherever you go there you are. Quote Link to comment

enfanta Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Oh, yes. A union. Just what geocaching needs. Then I can pay money for the privilege of working and have TWO authorities standing over me, neither of which has my best interests at heart. Gosh, where do I sign up?? And what about a "Boys of Geocaching"? Let's objectify BOTH genders! We could have pictures of manly men straddling caches as they beefily clutch their GPS in one hand and a dead bear in the other.
