+Simply Paul Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Just a little tomfoolery to pass the time on a dull Monday, but I was thinking about getting a GC sticker for the back window of my Jag, to identify me as one of the Chosen Few Beautiful People. I suspect geocaching.com sell them, but I fancied something more...personal, somehow. I came up with the following and would welcome anyone else's suggestions. My dad owns a screen printing firm, so you never know... Geocachers do it with hand-held devices. Geocachers do it with the family (perhaps not!) Geocachers: Outstanding in their field. Love is... Never having to post a DNF. Geocaching. It's better than golf! I've found 100/200/300/400/500 geocaches and all I got was this lousy bumper sticker. Love me, love my etrex. Drunk Geocachers know where they are, even when they don't know who they are. Looking forward to others thoughts SP Quote Link to comment
+The Hornet Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I suspect geocaching.com sell them, but I fancied something more...personal, somehow. I don't know whether GC.COM would sell them as they may have problems with the British sense of humour However I bet Mark would be only too happy to stock them on GCUK. As for suggestions: Follow your GPS and never see the view Who said 35'?! Geocaching - second only to golf etc..... Quote Link to comment

MCL Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Geocachers are never lost, just temporarily uncertain of position... Quote Link to comment

+Fangsy Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 GeoCaching - The Art of Loosing your Bearings. GeoCachers - Better at Giving Directions or GeoCachers - Better at Taking Directions GeoCaching - Less DNFs than Hans Blix "If you can read this you are within 3 seconds of arc!" "Only a fool breaks the '3 seconds of arc' rule." Hmm, I'm sure there is more in my head somewhere, cant find them yet Quote Link to comment
+Red Clover Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I'm bleeding, muddy, and limping! God I love Caching! Geocaching: Planning to be spontaneous Waste time conscientiously GO CACHING! 3 things you save in a fire: Kids, batteries and GPSr! Quote Link to comment
+OzGuff Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 3 things you save in a fire:Kids, batteries and GPSr! A question for clarification purposes: In that order? Quote Link to comment
+Red Clover Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Ok maybe not exactly that order.. But no problem there my son is hooked. Im surprised he lets me check the mail w/out the GPSr. If I didnt get it he would on the way out! Quote Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 (edited) Geocachers do it with Tupperware I liked Wildtrekker's approach. My own spin would be: American Geocachers do it with Rubbermaid. Aren't they the lucky ones? I'm impressed with the quality of suggestions. Keep 'em coming folks!

+Fangsy Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 "If you can read this you are within 3 seconds of arc!" "Only a fool breaks the '3 seconds of arc' rule." Whats that then ? I've seen bumper stickers and rear window stickers with things like "If you can read this you are TOO CLOSE!" to any following cars. Also there's the 3 second rule of thumb, when driving, never to get less than 3 seconds travel distance behind the car in front. The way I was always taught it was to say to yourself "only a fool breaks the 3 second rule" which takes about 3 seconds to say. 3 seconds of arc would a measure of distance around an arc, 1/20th of 1/60th of a degree. I just rolled the two together. Quote Link to comment

I just rolled the two together. Ah, but that distance gets shorter the further you go North or South. At a pole, it'd be zero. No way to drive a 'cachin' waggon. SP P.S. Isn't it the 2 second rule? "Only a fool breaks the 3 second rule" only takes two seconds to say, the way I say it. Quote Link to comment
+John NW Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 How about I'm not lost - I'm waiting for satellite reception Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted April 3, 2004 Author Share Posted April 3, 2004 Some more ideas: Geocachers do it in the Woods/Up trees/Under piles of sticks Geocachers do it Nationwide/Worldwide 'Check out my lunchbox' From my friend Claire: Geocachers stick it where the sun don't shine Geocaching: It's one stash the police aren't looking for.
