Geocache Description:


Four Hundred ThirtySeventh in the Famous People (FP) Series - Seymour Skinner II

On the TV show The Simpsons, Principal W. Seymour Skinner (born in Capitol City as Armin Tamzarian) is the principal of Springfield Elementary School, and a stereotypical educational bureaucrat. He struggles to control the crumbling school and is constantly engaged in a battle against its inadequate resources, apathetic and bitter teachers, and often rowdy and unenthusiastic students, Bart Simpson being a standout example. A strict disciplinarian, Skinner has an uptight, militaristic attitude that stems from his years in the U.S.Army as a Green Beret, which included service in the Vietnam War.

Skinner is actually named Armin Tamzarian, and was a troubled orphan until he was forced into the Army during the Vietnam War. There, he was befriended by Sgt. Seymour Skinner, whom he came to idolize. When the real Skinner was reported missing presumed dead, Tamzarian returned to Springfield to tell Skinner's mother, but she deliberately mistook him for Seymour, so he assumed Skinner's identity and followed his dream of becoming a school principal.

So he tricked the whole town into believing who he was, but he just couldn't spell his name like Seymore Cemetery. NOTE: The original Seymour Skinner cache disappeared when the stump was removed. This is a new hide and new container and now a new smiley for you. The cache is a small plastic tube about the size of a bison tube. BTW: Bring your own dang 'cause we ain't the Office Depot you know.
