Geocache Description:

A Quaint little Quarter-of-a-Quart sized cache near the Quality Inn. Be Quick and very Quiet on your Quest.

It's The Alphabet Game (T.A.G.). We've all played it. You try to find things that start with the letters of the alphabet and the first one to get all the letters wins. Now you can play T.A.G. while geocaching in Centre County.

This installment of T.A.G. is brought to you by the letter Q, the first letter on your QWERTY keyboard. Because it will be reQuired to meet your Quota and Qualify for the upcoming T.A.G. challenge, we spent Quite a bit of Quality time thinking about the Quiddity of Q. We Quickly began to Quiver and Quake as we considered that Q is the letter in front of all Quibbles and Quarrels -- what a Quandary. Those Qualms were Quelled however as we realized that Q also is the Quintessential enabler of all clever Quips, timeless Quotes, and imponderable Questions.

That's it! EureQa! The Q cache reQuests that instead of trinQets, we shall exchange Quips, Quotes and Questions. Your Quid-pro-Quo to Qualify for T.A.G. will be to share at least one of your favorite Quips, Quotes or Questions within your log entry. As always, a bonus point for alliteration. Here's a Quadruple Quantity of each to start the exchange.

QUIPS (should be clever and Qute):

  1. Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time or you won't have a leg to stand on.
  2. I've told you a million times not to exaggerate!
  3. If you loan somebody $50 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
  4. Birthdays really are good for you. The more of them you have, the longer you'll live.

QUOTES (be sure to site your source):

  1. (a Quote on Questions) I Keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who. (Rudyard Kipling)
  2. (a Quote on Quarreling) It is in disputes as in armies, where the weaker side sets up false lights, and makes great noise, to make the enemy believe them more numerous and strong than they really are. (Jonathan Swift)
  3. (a Quote on Quotations) A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool. (Joseph Roux)
  4. (another Quote on Quotations) What a good thing Adam had -- when he said a good thing he knew that nobody had said it before. (Mark Twain)

QUESTIONS (only imponderables will do):

  1. If a turtle didn't have a shell, would he be naked or homeless?
  2. Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
  3. What happens the second time you get scared half to death?
  4. If a man speaks in the forest but no woman can hear him, is he still wrong?
