+fly46 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Okay, I want to do a cache with the initial theme being items relating to the working man. (Hey, I just got a job, why not let me celebrate?) I don't care if the cache stays on theme, but I want the initial contents to all relate. Problem being that I'm not sure what all I could put in it to make it theme related. I know I could get anything that delt with money - money note pads, dollar magnets, etc - but I don't know what else I could put in the cache.... Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
+rusty_tlc Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Use a brief case for the cache container? Hand tools from the dollar store? Make a log book from time clock punch cards? Office supplies, yeah thats it, a Red Swingline Stapler. Quote Link to comment

+woof n lulu Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 If you want to go geeky, a cheap calculator from the dollar store, a plastic shirt pocket liner for pens, a clip on tie, a cube of scribble paper. Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Office supplies, yeah thats it, a Red Swingline Stapler. Hmm... If I'm going along with this should I also add suspenders complete with 17 pieces of flare? lol. Sorry.. I had to. I love that movie! A Hammer, Joe? Is that safe if you come around and find it? Actually, better yet... Want to help me hide it? Quote Link to comment
+Cool Librarian Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 And let's not forget the "workin' girl" - tight tube top, red stiletto heals, bright red lip gloss.... Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 A pad of permission slips to take the day off and go caching. Just give one to your boss, spouse, significant other, etc. Quote Link to comment
WH Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 And let's not forget the "workin' girl" - tight tube top, red stiletto heals, bright red lip gloss.... and not much of anything else Quote Link to comment
+Robespierre Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Nah, wrong direction. You need a Ford Tough Truck. Workin' gloves. Wire cutters. Quote Link to comment
+rusty_tlc Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 And let's not forget the "workin' girl" - tight tube top, red stiletto heals, bright red lip gloss.... and not much of anything else Well, one other thing, but we have concluded that those are not appropriate trade items in numerous discussions.

+southdeltan Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Workin man? Oh dadgum.. I thought this was a Haggard theme cache... sd Quote Link to comment
+NoLemon Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Nah, wrong direction. You need a Ford Tough Truck. Workin' gloves. Wire cutters. This is along the lines I was thinking with the title "Workin' Man". Work gloves Lineman's pliers Bandana/hankerchief I'd use one of those large, black lunchboxes - the kind where the thermos goes in the top part. You'd have to hide it someplace sheltered from the elements, though, as I doubt you could water-proof if. Quote Link to comment

+bigredmed Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 And let's not forget the "workin' girl" - tight tube top, red stiletto heals, bright red lip gloss.... In some of our urban areas, that would go for the working man as well.... Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Office supplies, yeah thats it, a Red Swingline Stapler. Ha! I did that one. It's Office Oasis. I had a great Swingline stapler from the sixties I was going to leave, too (would you believe the office manager was just going to throw it away?. But I...I...forgot it. I always mess up when I try caching on my lunch hour. Quote Link to comment
+JoGPS Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Sure would be happy to help you hide it Fly but will you be able to find it, just kidding, anytime just give me a holler …………. JOE Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Since you can't put food or knives in a cache I guess this wouldn't work for a chef. Maybe some good cookbooks for those that are in my collection. Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Sure would be happy to help you hide it Fly but will you be able to find it, just kidding, anytime just give me a holler …………. JOE My ability to find caches is (mostly) directly related to my mood. Today, right now, bad cache mood, not going caching. Furthermore, I would be hiding with your guidance, not with my back turned as you place my cache. Despite you being a dork, I'll email you momentarily. Oh, by the way, The Bell Jar got returned to me... in pieces. Aparently they had gone through the container first and then took it with them because over half of the stuff in it is missing and the stuff that was left was opened and trashed. You know how much stuff was in there when you found it. All that was left was the shower cap (taken out of it's box), the Tennessee Wildlife thing, open completely, the travel bug was miraculously still in there, but the chain was taken off the car and the tag and all three pieces were laying separately.... Unfortunately a traveler tag that I put in the cache is missing, as is the log book, the pen I had with it, and just about everything else. I would have been very happy if the log book the traveler and the bug were there and nothing else. I'm kinda sad that the logbook is gone. I'm not sure if kids at the bus stop plundered it first (although why was the toy car still there) or if the maintenance people took anything in there that they thought was cool after they found it. What do you think? Should I re-hide it or archive it and think up something different Quote Link to comment
+MarcB Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I'm thinking shoelaces and perhaps a hideously unfashionable tie. I don't know why... MarcB Quote Link to comment
+sea_dragon Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 For a working man cache, le'see... tape measure wire cutters truck stuff (Ford/Chevy keychains, etc.) Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson et al tapes ...basicly anything having to do with construction and related trades. These are the fields of a working man. Anyone else is a working stiff, bean counter or a pen pusher. Oh, I'd also say that some PBR or "Natti Ice" wouldn't do you wrong. Even though it isn't allowed in caches. Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 pocket protectors - just like the kind Milton has Zack Quote Link to comment
+Kidatheart Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Workin man cache could use a beer mug , rootbeer mug that is Sounds like a great idea. good luck with the cache Quote Link to comment
+CompuCash Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I had boot laces in three of my caches and no one took them - that's fine - I keep breaking mine - guess no one else duz - but that's why I put them in. Quote Link to comment
