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.

Shucks! I didn't even THINK of doing that! I was to busy giving the Scottish chick nasty things to say to me.

ooh, i hadn't THOUGHT of that... i think i have a new hobby.

Can or Box you need Ammo either way.

[+Bjorn74]

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.

I just call it a DNF

ammo can=missing in action in the northwest

Geez, i must be tired. that took me about 5 seconds to get it. Good one

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.

[+The Jester]

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...

[Cholo]

You know

I guess there's no need for further discussion.

[+JMBella]

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.

"Ammo Box" should be H83 Ammunition Container (NATO Desigination)

 

Scots voice's about as real as Japanese Whisky

 

Try!

From the 2nd evil dead movie...

[+flask]

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.

[+nfa]

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

[+flask]

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.

[+boulist44]

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???

[+SixDogTeam]

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...

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.

Clean them cans up real good, then drill a hole in the top, get a straw and full it full of BEER and call it a beer can on steroids.

Cache Container!

[Caz & Guy]

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.

well said. i do not like florida. i do not like it one bit. too dadgum much sun. too warm. palm trees are funny looking.

 

yet i do not suggest violence when faced with persons who reside there.

 

and i'd like to tactfully suggest that some of you turn your irony detectors ON. enough is enough people! we have been giggling mercilessly at the expense of these poor irony-challenged people for long enough. at some point we have to start being charitable.

 

ther's nothing left to see here. move along.

[+briansnat]

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.
