+Bjorn74 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Just imagine the suprise when all these people get phone calls and voice mails asking if they've seen my Ammo Box at 39º 59.839 W 082° 51.808. Could be the most logged Traditional in the middle of a Tire-henge ever. Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Can or Box you need Ammo either way. Link to comment
+Bjorn74 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 If someone had a differant version of this than I have, you could involve it in a puzzle. I may just do that with one of my puzzles. Give the finders the option of downloading the story in WAV format? It won't help them, but it would be fun to listen to three versions of some stupid story and 50 pronunciations of Ammo Box.

+briansnat Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 I have no freakin' clue how to "prononuce Ammo Box." [sic] But I do know how to spell "pronounce." Unfortunately the new forums don't let ya go back and correct your spelling in the header. Link to comment
+The Jester Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 The pronunciation changes with whether I can find the darn thing or not. If not, I can't post here what I call it... But according to a log of yours I read not long ago, your mother told you not to say those words. If The Jester swears in the woods, with no one to hear him, does his mother know? Actually, I seldom talk outloud to myself, BUT the internal comments... (not always directed at the container, often at the hider). Just think of what I was saying about you WM... Link to comment

+JMBella Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Let's ask the Valley Girl, shall we? Or maybe the Scottish Male? Ever since installing an Auto Dialer ( I know, I'm evil, but we only dial numbers of people who owe our clients) I've defaulted to our Text to Speech Software for pronunciation. Aparently Valley Girls like AM-oh Bocks-sesses. Rhetorical Software OK. How many of you tried to write a bad word in the field? No? Me either. Link to comment

+flask Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 ok... i don't see many movies with "evil" or "dead" in the titles, so someone is going to have to tell me why this is funny. Link to comment
+nfa Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 hi, Now say the words very carefully, lest ye unleash a torrent of evil spirits He doesn't say the words correctly ("Clatu Barrada Numphhhurummph"), and the evil spirits open up a can of evil-deadness on the locals. nga Link to comment
+flask Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 that's not funny. thank you for helping. i'm going back to the scottish chick and the spanish guy. you can get them to talk to each other. i'm trying to set them up on a blind date. Link to comment
+boulist44 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Sorry but being English it should be " A Box for Ammunition" or Ammunition Box" Take your pick. Why try to be economical with my language??? Link to comment
+SixDogTeam Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 How come the shortened term for ammunition is "ammO"? Shouldn't it be "AmmU"? and how would u pronounce that ? "AHM-MOO"... or "AM-MYU"... Praise the Lord, and pass the Ammu... Link to comment

+Divine Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 (edited) From the 2nd evil dead movie... Actually it's from the 3rd Evil Dead movie: Army of Darkness. A little trivia bite: The magic words Ash must use to claim the Book of the Dead are "Clatto Verata Nicto" - a reference to "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto", the words used to command the robot Gort in Day the Earth Stood Still, The (1951). I think the funniest part was when Ash said Klaatu Verata Necktie. Edited June 8, 2004 by Divine Link to comment

Caz & Guy Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Is this a serious question?????? Its pronounced ammo box just like it is spelt. ammo - short for ammunition. box - well a box. Maybe geocaching English lessons would be appropriate. Link to comment

+briansnat Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 OK everyone, thanks for your input. I've decided to continue calling them Ah-Moo Books and if I'm the laughingstock at the next cache event (again), so be it. Now I'm locking this before Co Admin beats me to it. You can continue the discussion in AS. Link to comment
