+KBI Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) Top Ten signs you’ve been doing a little too much Geocaching: 10. You’ve had more “conversations” on your Garmin than on your REAL cell phone. 9. Your wedding invitation features a Difficulty / Terrain rating. 8. You realize you can read the hints without clicking “Decrypt.” 7. You get distracted watching movies because you keep scanning the background scenery, thinking, “That’d be a GREAT place for a micro!” 6. It takes the meter man an hour and a half to find your water meter. 5. Everyone else puts a quarter in the coffee fund jar in the office break room. You TAKE a quarter, leave a Travel Bug, and cover the jar with pine straw. 4. Someone stops you on the street to ask directions to the post office, and all you know is the coordinates. 3. Your tax return includes a $700.00 deduction for “AA Batteries”. 2. You drag your old junk washing machine into the woods, put a logbook in it, and post the coords so the National Park Service will haul it off. And, the NUMBER ONE sign that you’ve been doing a little too much Geocaching: 1. Your mama named you “CCCooperAgency”. Edited March 24, 2004 by KBI Quote Link to comment
WH Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Your family vacations involve "cache dense areas" You cant program the VCR, but you can do tricks with your GPS that would make other people's head spin Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Very Funny! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I opened this topic expecting to yawn at yet another top ten list, since many have been published in the past. But dadgum, these were funny! KBI, you should post more, we can use your sense of humor in the forums. By the way, to your item #7, I have three micros placed in locations that WERE in the background of movies. The Elves are Inclined to be Evil features the same inclined rail car that Jennifer Beals rides up and down while commuting to work at the steel mill in "Flashdance." In "Striking Distance," Bruce Willis drives his river police patrol speedboat to its boathouse dock across the Allegheny River from Elves on the Riverfront. And, The Elves Cache Quickly in Sewickley is at the main intersection of downtown Sewickley, which served as the setting for Sinbad's comedy, "Houseguest." Quote Link to comment

We already have one of those around here. #11 Your next trip is to Nashville and you don't even like country music. Quote Link to comment

+aka Monkey Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) I'm assuming this is now on-topic and acceptable to mention. A number of the items on the list were similar. I love that one about the wedding invitation though! Edited March 24, 2004 by Indiana Cojones Quote Link to comment

"Bassmedic" Local Team put a cache on the site of their wedding for their 1 year anniversary. Actually I think the cache was the wife's anniversary present to hubby, who is pretty prolific here.

ringbone Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Sparky, you are a funny guy. The funny thing is ive been gone two weeks on business and ive made 30k. You're still unemployed. GET A JOB. The stress must be killing you. Or at least donate your time to a soup kitchen or something. Isnt this meant for Geogcaching or is this your own personal chat room. Get a life.

davwil Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I know I've been caching too much because: I made Ann (better half) read this post this morning over coffee. She actually made coffee come out of her NOSE! I didn't think she knew about what went on in the forums! She was actually laughing. (I did have to explain who CCCooperagency was but when I used the term 'totally obsessed' she understood). She has had a good start to Friday and her grade 5 class (which starts in an hour) will probably appreciate the teachers improved attitude towards sillyness because of this thread. Everyone needs to laughh!!!! Dave Quote Link to comment

Darn those obscure comedians when they eventually get all uppity with their wacky contrarian opinions … (I just noticed this post today. Missed it somehow in April. Discovered it as I was browsing through the legendary Ringbone debacle. How did I ever miss it ... a post to my own thread? My recent attempts to spend less time in the Forums may actually be succeeding.) Why does my post say "Leprechauns?"
