Who is "The Brock"?

Code Name:	"The Brock"
Real Name:	Valentino DeBroccilino
Home Town:	Silver Spring, MD
Unofficial Home Cache:	GCJD40 - Easy as 1-2-3 4 (Silver Spring, MD)
Arch Nemeses:	"Bad Betty"

Description:

After growing up in Silver Spring, MD, Valentino studied marshal arts in Yantai, China for many years. He even has a tattoo of Chinese characters on his back (any translation guesses?). He is a founding member of the Travel Bug Freedom Force.

Actual Origin:

This spring loaded broccoli was given away as prizes in a "Happy Meal" in a Di-Di Burger in Yantai, China. Di-Di Burger is very apparent knock-off on Western style fast food restaurants.

Who is the Travel Bug Super Freedom Force and the Cachers of Evil?

The Travel Bug Super Freedom Force
Prof Hewitt Maynard Ryker	"Speedy"
Felix Wood	Captain Keg Man
Stone Kalinowski	R2 "Yeah...That's Right" D2
Valentino DeBroccilino	"The Brock"
The Cachers of Evil
Sinter Klaas	"The Ring Leader"
Mr. Francis Francona III	Furious Flamboyant Frank II
Dr. Julius Hibbert	The Deviously Unsanitary Dr. Julius
Bettina Freedman	"Bad Betty"

What's this all about, how did these Eight Travel Bugs become good and evil?

Originally best friends, the two teams of Travel Bugs came at odds with one another during the whole Brad Pitt dating scandal. One team was pro Angelina Jolie the other pro Jennifer Aniston. Which team was for who, we'll never know!.

Ever since the breakup, the Cachers of Evil have started a crime spree like the world has never seen. Their evil power comes from staying in one spot too long. They longer they stay still, the more evil they become! It has been heard that one way to reduce their power is to take clever photos of them and post them on geocaching.com.

The Travel Bug Freedom Force is trying to stop The Cachers of Evil from becoming any more evil. Their super-power source involves moving quickly from cache to cache. Unlike their evil brethren, they don't get any power from having their photo taken, they just like it (super heroes have a love/love thing with cameras).

Unfortunately, the Brock's brother may also be missing. The cacher who currently has Brother Brock has responded to emails saying that he will move Brother Brock along eventually. Is 9 months too long to hope that Brother Brock shows up again?

I hope this isn't true but I just received this note about The Brock... "Hate to say it, but "The Brock" TB is probably gone. Someone put it in my cache, and that cache has walked away." User's Profile: http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=f8c61a45-4064-4d45-b5cf-5f8cf973be15

Decided to leave it be, since it is so close back at Silver Springs, and i'd only take it to western PA.

Sorry we couldn't see a good time for us to drop this off closer to Silver Spring, but we found a nice dry and very popular cache to put it in and maybe someone can get it there.
