I don't feel like searching for it, but my all time favorite post is the one about buying the monkeys from the pet shop for a nickle.

We should bring back the Abjuct Silliness thread. Man, that one was a riot!

The thread where the guy dropped his GPS into a porta potty when he stood up after completing his bidnez ... classic.

I enjoyed 'How would they sign?' About how historical figures and celebrities might sign a cache log. Very phunny!

Thanks. I liked that one to.

For some reason I am drawn to the controversial threads. You know, the ones where someone (I won't mention names) is just destined to get banned? I usually don't participate, just sit back and watch the show.

I guess its the same nature in all of us that has made Jerry Springer so successful.

Those are the ones I want to avoid on this thread.

Thank you.

The forum topics that stick in my memory the most are older ones.

Just a few weeks after I began geocaching and reading these forums, someone started this topic, basically questioning the validity of the caches found by uber-geocacher BruceS. There was just "no way" that anyone could find that many caches in such a short period of time. At that time, as an utter newbie, the best I could manage was four or five caches in a day. I was puzzled.

Then, BruceS posted to the thread and revealed how he organized and carried out a cache hunt. I call it "powercaching." It opened a whole new way of thinking for me: I could challenge myself to make big trips like this, too! I did my first such trip on Labor Day weekend of 2002, clearing out essentially every cache in 12 counties over two days. I've made several "numbers runs" since then. While I don't cache strictly for numbers, these marathon trips are great achievements as part of the mix of what makes geocaching cool for me. And I have that single forum post to point to as inspiration.

That topic also taught me some valuable lessons about these forums: First, never accuse someone of doing something unless you have facts or personal knowledge to back it up. Second, good things can come from a "bad" forum thread. We can all learn from adversity.

And I bet you thought I'd post about the birth of hamstercaching, or Mitsuko. Fooled ya!

Those threads were before my time, got links? They sound interesting. and just like what I'd hope to get from this topic.

Hamstercaching traces its roots to this post by my buddy Tonsil in a thread about signature items. I quickly followed up on it, and soon adopted the idea as a forum theme. Well, actually I stole it. 'Cause Tonsil is one funny dude and I'm just a little green man with no sense of humor.

Mitsuko? Summer 2002. You'd best do a search. You won't find any posts by her, but you'll find references and maybe a quote or two.

I'll vote for the "You write the caption" as well.

Amazing how creative we all can be on this topic; yet when a client asks me for something creative......nothing.

April 20, 2004

There were several.

Fun with photoshop

You write the caption

Historical figures and signing cache logs

The best by far was the "Private Topic" thread in the old forums. A lot of good posts by Joefrog and others. All of which would blow the lid off our warn meters.

Here is my all time favorite thread.Then there's this one which contains my first ever post to these forums.

April 20, 2004

I like the stuck cache vehicle thread. In fact, I just posted my latest adventure there.

April 20, 2004

I have enjoyed all the threads that ask for photos. I enjoy seeing the vehicles people cache in, their pets, what clever cache containers look like and where cachers sit while working on their computers.

April 20, 2004

I liked the new words to Christmas carol thread. Some very creative people here.

April 21, 2004

Geocaching as an online dating service is my all-time favorite thread. I know, I know . . . It's my thread . . . but if it wasn't for that thread I wouldn't have met Mopar!

So . . . I have my reasons!

Happy caching and stuff! :mad:

April 21, 2004

I tried to do a markwell, but couldn't find it (Mopar? - little help here? :mad: ) - my favorite thread was the one in which a cache was impounded in a jail cell, with photos taken of it in custody. That was the thread that got me *lurking* every day.

I just revived an ancient thread called "101 uses for a gps" that never got one reply, and I can't see why...

I have to agree. Joe Frog had some good ones there as did others.

My favorite all-time thread was the Goofus and Gallant go Geocaching thread. I have never laughed so hard in all of my life. As I'm typing this, my son says, "Oh, I remember that thread. That one was really funny."

He's twelve, so that thread related to a lot of different age groups.

For Team Encore, maybe this is the one...

Jail House Cache (AKA Butcher Hill Cache) by Vacman. Very funny! Classic!

In the thread: Compose the World's Worst - Possible logbook entry 11 posts down from the beginning.

Thanks Vacman!

April 23, 2004

That's the one, KF6JML! Thank you - I still laugh when I read that thread!! I've enjoyed looking back over some of the others - good submissions. I'd have to agree on the Goofus & Gallant thread - 'nother funny one!
