HA HA HA!!!

I got "Flood control is enabled on this board" when I tried to click a response, fitting since it is raining sheets here!!! :blink:

Avroair (99.9% chance) and hopefully wife (63% chance) will be attending. We are new to this area so please be kind to us. :rolleyes:

September 9, 2004

We'll be there! :blink:

Avroair, do you want me to drop some breadcrumbs (waypoints) on my way home from work one day so you know how to get here? If you thought getting home from Sparta was a challenge, you'll really enjoy getting home from here. :rolleyes:

It's on my calender. Hopefully I can make it. :rolleyes:

September 9, 2004

Will definately be there, looking forward to meeting everyone :rolleyes:

September 9, 2004

I'll be there! Hopefully early to get in some caching.

Isn't it customary for the "man-of-the-hour" to buy first rounds? :huh:

If we are at the event and DON'T congratulate Floopy on his milestone should we log a DNF? :huh:

Only if the cache owner states on the cache page that congratulating Floopy is a requirement. :lol:

In case you don't know who Floopy is, he is the guy on the far right, here with some other cachers. He only had 643 finds back then!!!

My favourite Floopy cache: HERE!

September 12, 2004

Cool picture, I recognize Skully (second from right), but who are the two other people? I am just guessing but the person on the far left may be the traveling Artful Dodger, but that is just a guess.

The one in the red jacket is a cardboard dummy as he would never allow himself to be photographed.

September 13, 2004

Is the red who I think it is, Dave?

2.8k · September 13, 2004

Is the red who I think it is, Dave?

No, it's not Floopy's dad! :laughing: Guess again.

I only know because I think I've seen another picture from some event where they had labels on them, I've never met him in person. I don't think he's actually real - cause god can't really make that big a mistake can he? Well, God did make the platypus so who knows.

I'll see if I can find the picture someplace. It was either associated with some cache or in the forums. Yeah, I know, that really narrows it down :lol:

September 13, 2004

Oh, I thought it was Ma Floopy!!!! (just kidding Po!!!)

If HE were finding the picture, he could do it in less than two hours, right?

2.8k · September 13, 2004

One picture I saw was http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...ndpost&p=864364 unless they are labeled incorrectly.

Of course, StayFloopy looks much different in both pictures. It's amazing how different he looks with his glasses on or off :laughing:

HE already found the picture. He just doesn't log his finds online - LOL!

I'm cracking myself up today. Time to head up for the night and play hide the cache in a crevice :laughing:

It must be labeled incorrectly, I don't remember BrianSnat being so hairy. Or short for that matter.

I am not even going to ask about the crevice and upstairs.

September 13, 2004

You guys are killing me - I feel like Chandler when he is not allowed to make fun of anybody - I know there is one person that won't get that one. He He He.

I'm being very honest here, I get your innuendo's, but is that really the illusive 'BP' I've seen scribbled all over so many log books?

8.1k · September 13, 2004

Hey guys,

This is a thread about Floopy's accomplishments. Not about BP, AD or S&M. So talk about Floopy 'kay. He is the one on the right, although, he made a quick switch to his BrianSnat suit! Proof they are the same person!!!

:laughing:

September 13, 2004

Oops, I looked at the back of Avro's snapshot...

September 13, 2004

No, I think I met that guy once. He introduced himself as "ACME Geocachers". Looking at his profile, he hasn't been around lately - but he was really active in the forums. :blink:

Look fast, all those posts will probably get deleted.

I think it must be "srehcacoeG EMCA"

Congrats Floop... Some of the bills are still running around....

I SEE IT!!!!! I SEE IT!!!!!!!! can I log it now?

Just bumping this up to remind everyone of the big event tomorrow. Seems lots of folks are planning on heading to it and there appears to be lots of TBs to trade including a couple Yellow Jeeps and a geocoin.

Hope to see everyone tomorrow at In Honor of Floopys 3000th Find Cache

It'll probably have people coming and going throughout the evening so even if you don't think you can get there early or stay for too long, stop by.

See ya tomorrow!

David (and the rest of the Team)

The Blue Grotto, Capri. Cost 12 euros to take a boat over to it - you then wait 45 minutes for a smaller rowing boat to take you to another boat where you pay another 8.8 euros for the priviledge of floating around in the grotto for 2 minutes. <_<

1 euro = about $1.25

October 6, 2004

In case you don't know who Floopy is, he is the guy on the far right, here with some other cachers.

yeah but whose that mystery guy in red?

EDIT: whoops. I'm not allowed to ask that apparently. I think its a pirate.

SECOND EDIT: Whoops, that last edit is also apparently not permited.

No more edits!

And who said you could only get mugged at/near/around The Roman Colosseum?

j/k

Well worth it in my book. The Grotto must've been beautiful!

Congrats to Floopy!

The event was a blast...

At the end there was Skully and Mulder, BrianSnat, Kar of Team Shibby and Hartclimbs... all still standing!

I felt like such a newcomer!

October 6, 2004

EDIT: whoops. I'm not allowed to ask that apparently. I think its a pirate.

No, that guy is definitely no pirate.

But if we're going to offer our fantasies of the type of person who could potentially be a "cache maggot," "thief," or "pirate," one scenario I might imagine would involve a diaper-wearing, former "special education" student employed as a telemarketer. You know, the kind of guy who uses a claimed medical diagnosis to absolve himself of his total lack of self-control and self-discipline ... the kind of guy who might poke his eye out on a stick while running "willy-nilly" through the woods in "panic mode," flailing his arms and "squawking like a chicken." The kind of guy whose wife might ban him from caching because he consistently returns home from simple little one and two star caches filthy and all cut up.

I saw a picture of a guy at a beer and wings event who looked exactly as I would imagine such a character to appear ... I'll have to edit it into this post later.

EDIT: Decided not to include the photo because it would tend to frighten animals and young children.

How dare you! I haven't worn a diaper in years!

It was great to be able to celebrate StayFloopy's accomplishment with such a nice group of people. I'm looking forward to these types of future happy occasions - life's too short not to celebrate at every opportunity!

Oddly enough, this is my post #1000.

She's warming up to the idea of me caching... I think.

yeah it would kinda show under that tutu, so thats a good thing I'm guessing.

Wow, the "short bus" dropped you off early today. That's good ... you'll have more time to play "dress up" and read your Weird NJ magazines.

<Adult Perspective> It's your little tiff - and while your bantering is amusing, making fun of special needs children or alluding to anyone needing a "short bus" is not only offensive, but shows lack of character and compassion.

Be a clown if you'd like - but your stereotyping shows your narrowmindedness. I'd suggest maybe taking your slapfight to email if you want to continue? The thread was started to celebrate StayFloopy's accomplishment - not to give you a place to throw sand at the other kids.

Congrats again Stayfloopy - quite an accomplishment.

In all fairness *I* made a joke (and thats what it was, a joke: no one seriously thinks Marcs a pirate, at least not that i've heard) which triggered a response. Now I'm not justifying that response mind you, but it started with a joke that, apparently couldn't be handled. So for my role in that I apologize and promise not response to any more shenigans.

Coming from you, Hart, knowing things you've said, that's really very funny. What cojones.
