+hedberg Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Well, we think that mr hedberg is the first human TB! Today our first T-shirt arrived with a printed TB on it: mr hedberg Soon will also mrs hedberg & jr hedberg be done... But please, do not squeeze me into a micro cache or a cache filled with McToys!

+PandyBat Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 You might be the first human TB in Sweden. I am also a human TB here in the states. Most people don't know it until they see me though. PandyBug Good luck on your travels! Quote Link to comment
+TEAM 360 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I am also my own TB, and so is Mushtang, if I remember correctly... I am planning on putting myself in and out of caches, to see how many miles I have racked up caching... Quote Link to comment
+hedberg Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 dadgum, and I just wanted to be something special... Quote Link to comment
+LeatherKnight Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Hehe, cool idea. For a moment, I thought you were referring to Johan Hedburg, the backup goalie for the Vancouver Canucks. I figured it was a joke about the possibility of him being traded or something. I like the idea of a human celebrity travel bug. If you can get a picture of yourself with a certain celebrity, that makes the human celebrity bug "yours" until someone else gets a picture with him/her. Is that a good idea? Quote Link to comment
+PandyBat Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Cool idea! But it will be hard to keep track of all the celebrities unless you use one TB to track them all. It could be worked out somehow. GentleWhisper has recently taken a pic with VP Cheney and a YJTB. Quote Link to comment
Mushtang Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I am also my own TB, and so is Mushtang, if I remember correctly... Yep, I made myself into a TB after reading about someone else doing it. I added pictures of me with the TB dog tag onto my TB page that I thought were pretty neat. The purpose of my personal TB is different from Hedberg's in that I'm the only one that logs myself in and out of caches. I do this to keep up with the milage I've travelled as the crow flies. Hedberg is a TB for other people to log when they see him wearing the shirt at caches and cache events. This is a very cool idea and different from any that I've heard of. I'm not sure how he'll get logged if someone spots him at the grocery store. Quote Link to comment
+Webfoot Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 A Walk with Webfoot is my personal travel bug, keeps track of where my finds are. No one else has access to the number or can see where I've been unless you look me up or have me on your watch list. I like the Tee-Shirt Idea though. I do have two spare bugs lying around here that I could make a Tee-Shirt/Caching shirt out of. But, I fear that it wouldn't get many logs. I've only met two other cachers while out on hikes.

+joefrog Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 (edited) I think it's a great idea, regardless of who did it before! On the other hand, given the wording of the shirt you may want to be a BIT careful which parks you wear that shirt around, especially if you're bent over the cache!

+Kealia Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I've only met two other cachers while out on hikes. I feel honored to be 50% of your total run-ins! Now I know if I see you post something about "the cachers I've run into" there's a 50% chance that it's about me . So, is there proper etiquette for "grabbing" a human TB? Could cause a cacher to get slapped, me thinks. Quote Link to comment

Could cause a cacher to get slapped, me thinks. I must apologize. I've run into three cachers. I'd forgotten about my run-in with a cacher down in SoCal where I live. I've run into more cachers in your neck of the woods than in mine. Go figure. And one of the cachers I ran into in your neck of the woods, was from my neck of the woods. Methinks there's too many necks in the woods in this post. Quote Link to comment

Just don't try to put me in a cache...LOL...might hurt a bit. "Louie the Flower Guy" has experience in that department, I think.... Quote Link to comment
+tstar Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 dadgum, and I just wanted to be something special... You are something special hedberg...you've been there, done that, and have the t-shirt to prove it Quote Link to comment

That would explain why so many basements in my old neighborhood had boarded up windows. Quote Link to comment
+hedberg Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 Hmmm, I have a huge problem now. You want me to find celebs, that's no problem. I own a limousine company... But wearing a TB t-shirt are not the kind of working clothes I usally wears.. So what shall I do..? Quote Link to comment
