Keystone Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) This topic was originally part of a topic in the "Getting Started" forum which got derailed from its initial purpose. I apologized to the creator of that topic for participating in the derailment, and offered to split off the posts into a separate topic, which is this one. Read on for the beginning of the story, and enjoy. For the record, I regard this entire topic as being ON topic to geocaching, since we are having fun fantasizing about what roles various geocachers might fill if we ran the government. I can't ever recall this discussion coming up in the forums before. Also, if moderator-bashing threads are on-topic, then surely a pro-moderator thread can be allowed once in awhile? Please? Thanks, and have fun. Edited January 18, 2004 by Keystone Approver Quote

Keystone Posted January 16, 2004 Author Posted January 16, 2004 If Keystone were President... At all airports, before passing through security, I'd institute a mandatory stop at a travel bug hotel. My cabinet would include Breaktrack as Secretary of Defense, Criminal as Secretary of Homeland Security, carleenp as Attorney General and Mopar as Secretary of Transportation. I would issue a proclamation condemning Al Gore for claiming that he invented the internet. Everyone knows that Jeremy Irish invented the internet. Immigrants would not be allowed into California unless they could solve a Fizzymagic puzzle cache. The National Park Service would be abolished and replaced with the National Geocaching Service. All former National Parks would be replaced by Geocaching Parks. This agency would be headed up by umc. Thank you all for your support! Quote
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 So if KA were President could we expect to get caches preapproved? I would like to purchase a block of 10 preapproved caches please. Quote

GREAT IDEA! I hereby appoint Lazyboy & MiteyMite as my campaign fundraising co-chairs! Sell those cache blocks! 10 traditional caches: $100 10 microcaches: $500 10 virtual caches: $1,000 Geocaching suicide reversal for mtn-man: $10,000 Quote
+Criminal Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 President KA's first Executive Directive is that Criminal gets to do strip searches to whatever female he feels may be a threat to the United States, even without cause. This will be a GS19 position. Quote
Keystone Posted January 16, 2004 Author Posted January 16, 2004 Criminal, I worried that your proposed directive might be offensive to women. So, I checked with First Lady Paris Hilton. She said "kewl." Quote

Keystone Posted January 16, 2004 Author Posted January 16, 2004 Criminal, I hereby dispatch you to fulfill your prescribed duties. You will travel by air from McCord AFB to Lincoln, Nebraska on next available transport. There, a standard issue KA military ground transport (a yellow jeep) will be waiting to take you to the State Capitol complex. Please submit a written and photographic report of your findings to me ASAP upon your completion of this investigation. Quote

+carleenp Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Since I am still in my capacity as "some sort of official person who can affect things" at the Nebraska Supreme Court, I find President KA's first Executive Directive regarding strip searches unconstitutional. At least as far as it pertains to people named Carleen. Quote

At least as far as it pertains to people named Carleen. Ok, I think I agree here. I think Criminal should complete the assignment, and a team of Keystone's Cabinet (myself included) will review the video and photographs, and get back to you on that. Quote

Keystone Posted January 16, 2004 Author Posted January 16, 2004 We have yet to hear from Doc Dean, Secretary of Health and Human Services. He is working on a compulsory geocaching program, to be required of all school children to promote physical fitness. The basic idea is for geocaches to be set up way out in the backcountry by our Secretary of the Interior, Tahosa. The school kids are bussed to the nearest trailhead and given a GPS. The ones that make it out alive, graduate. Quote

+TeamK-9 Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 (edited) Keystone, can we look forward to the Coast Guard selling their boats for jeeps, and being renamed to "United States Cache Guard" ??? And how bout a new bill with Jeremy's picture on it, that way, we can start our own bill tracking website "Where's Jeremy" and they can be put in and taken out of caches as much as we want... In fact, the Jeremy 2.5 dollar bill would be made available only to cachers... Edited January 16, 2004 by TeamK-9 Quote

I welcome the change of pace. It is a lot more pleasant in here without attacks and whatnot. There are a few off-topic threads, but the vast majority of posts are about geocaching. Quote
+carleenp Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Darn! if you all didn't amuse me so much, I might actually go find more caches! Uhm, I have to ask..... Is it OK for the AG to post in the forums when she is working? Quote

+JMBella Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Holy Crap! I missed all this fun. I really need to go into more that just the Geocaching Topics and Northeast forums. KA is president, Criminal is strip searching Carleen and you're all having Sax in the White House! I've got to cut back on family time a pay attention to these forums. Quote
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Geocaching suicide reversal for mtn-man: $10,000 JUST mtn-man? The fee for repeated suicides could become astronomical. Quote
