+Stunod Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Gallant trades a glow in the dark yo-yo for a matchbox car. Goofus takes everything of value and leaves a doot in the cache.

+Web-ling Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Gallant rehides the cache exactly as he found it. Goofus moves the cache 50 feet and throws it in the weeds to make it "more interesting for the next guy." Quote Link to comment

OuttaHand Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Gallant writes how much he liked the cache, adds a few comments about what he saw while searching for it and what he took & left. He writes these things in both the physical logbook AND in the online log. He makes the cache-hider happy that he placed the cache. Goofus writes just the date & his name in the physical logbook. He MIGHT log it online and, if he does, it's usually just "FCTNLN" Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Gallant posts interesting stories in his logs and in the forums Goofus doesn't think about what he's writing, just posts meaningless drivel Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment

+CYBret Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Gallant stays on trail until it's absolutely necessary to bushwhack. Goofus cuts a quarter-mile bee-line to the cache and salts the earth so nothing will grow back. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Gallant allows topics to take their natural course, even if it means some people will post off-topic Goofus feels he must police every thread to make sure it stays on topic Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment

+Webfoot Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Gallant hides a cache, revisits it on a regular basis to keep it fresh and viable.

+CYBret Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Gallant calls his wife and asks if it's ok that he search for a newly hidden cache on the way home from work. Goofus spots the new cache while surfing at work and phones in an anthrax scare so he can leave early. Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 http://www.highlightskids.com/Stories/GnG/images/h1GnGgallant.gif Gallant obeys every law, doesn't cache at night past a park curfew, and all of his hides are accurately rated. http://www.highlightskids.com/Stories/GnG/images/h1GnGgoofus.gif Goofus hides a 'Nam Flashback cache, gives it a 1/1 rating, fills it with live grenades, guns, dope, and porn, and surrounds it with pungi sticks and bouncing Betties.

+Webfoot Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Gallant finda a travel bug, logs it correctly, and moves it closer to its intended goal. Goofus finds a travel bug, drops it into his stash bag forgetting about it for six months, never logs it, never returns the emails from the original travel bug owner and finally decides to make it a keepsake while placing the silver tag that was attached to it in some 5/5 cache on the top of Mt.

+TEAM 360 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Gallant is stuck in the 80's with that parted-down-the-middle haircut style. Goofus looks like a Doofus after his Mom butchered his hair with some scissors and a popcorn bowl. Quote Link to comment

+Webfoot Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Gallant asks permission first before hiding a cache and seeks direction from TPTB as well.

+seneca Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Gallant gives an encrypted clue stating the precise distance and bearing (specifying true or magnetic) that the cache is from a unique nearby landmark. Goofus gives an encrypted clue that says “Hang a right at the gas station.” I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me. Quote Link to comment

+Web-ling Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Gallant logs "not found" when he spots the cache, but doesn't sign the logbook in order to not compromise the location of the cache.

mckee Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Gallant takes care to ensure a positive image of geocachers by asking permission, trashing out, being respectful of others and being involved in the forums to help out people new to the game. Goofus worships Satan, so he doesn't give a crap. -------------------- This space for rent! Ask about our easy layaway plan! Quote Link to comment
mckee Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Gallant knows to treat other people with respect on the forums, because his words reflect back on him. Goofus rarely has anything to contribute on the forums. Fortunately only a couple of people know he's Gallant's sock puppet...

enfanta Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 When caching with a group, Gallant discreetly moves away from the cache after he's spotted it, giving everyone a chance to find it on their own. Goofus grabs the cache and spikes it in front of everyone, yelling "BOO-HAAAAAAAAA!" and doing his favorite cache dance. Ode to a Pigeon: Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, You Lookin' at Me?

+The Leprechauns Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Gallant only leaves hamsters at large 1/1 caches that are in quickly accessible urban parks, right before a weekend when the weather forecast is good. Goofus visits a members-only cache in mid-February and stuffs a hamster into a decon container hanging 50 feet up a tree that is miles from the nearest jeep trail. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x Next time, instead of getting married, I think I'll just find a woman I don't like and buy her a house.

Eeyore and Shadow Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Gallant is the perfect geocacher,polite, courteous, and well Gallant. Goofus lays in wait at a cache to beat the snot out of Gallant because he is a little goody two-shoes. But he tells the arresting officer that the silly part in Gallant's hair drove him insane.

Mr. Big Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Gallant gets the coords right when placing a cache, puts some time and thought into it and turns it into a clever adventure. Goofus drops a leaky micro near a location ideally suited to a real cache, forgets the pencil, situates it in a thicket of poison oak and leaves spoilers that guarantee to erase the adventure. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone really isn't out to get you. Quote Link to comment
Micqn Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Gallant takes matches and lighters out of caches. Goofus takes those matches and lighters and plays with them. Plays With Matches. [This message was edited by Micqn on September 18, 2003 at 12:22 PM.] Quote Link to comment
