About This Item

Blue Ball

Blue Ball started life as a Paramount bowling ball, used in either duckpin (smaller pins, three balls a frame) or candlepin (pins narrow at top and bottom, fat in middle, three balls per frame) bowling. Paramount began making balls in 1960, and Blue Ball is likely one of their originals, comprised of rubber combined with synthetic materials. Blue Ball may seem a little dense, and he can be a source of frustration for others, but we're sure that once you get to know him, you'll find he releases your inner delight. Blue Ball will be launched at a geocaching event, where similar TBs are likely to be in attendance [check out Paul's Ball (TBK6DA) & Big Red Bitch (TBH8F4)]. We understand he may not always fit in a cache. If you can't get him in, hide him near by and put the coordinates in both your log entry for the cache, and in your log entry for Blue Ball online.

Picked up in CT. After reading the plan of making it to Europe. I might leave it here on the East coast (closer) otherwise it will be dropped in Seattle somewhere.

You know, you never hear anyone say they could really use some blue balls... It will be a pain, but I will bring my new companion on a trip upstate this weekend and then release him ASAP. I, for one, don't like blue balls!
