Announcer: Listen for the words: cache, and
cash.
Announcer: It was a beautiful day in Johns
Creek. Ga Tech Ees, Leggo My Legos and Rob9118 were enjoying a
picnic at the park while their geo-kids were off running around the
playground.
GTEE:
“Strange, I have never had an announcer in my dreams
before.”
GTEE:
“So, Rob9118, when are you going to come up with a decent
user name?”
Rob9118: “Ha! Yours isn't much better and
at least mine is not as long as Leggo My
Legos.”
LML:
“Hey! … So, GTEE, when are you going to finally hide
another cache? You keep talking about it. You keep finding good
spots. Then, you do nothing and along comes gingerpga, bonemaro,
long2bhiking, and go4itz and they unknowingly take your spot. At
least THEY are doing something to enhance the game. What's the
deal?”
GTEE:
“Yeah, yeah, I know, I know... I get the ideas, just never
get the time to implement them. You know, job, kids, scouts
… it never ends. Look, here's my box of cache goodies. I
have several containers, most ready to go, and some great ideas for
hides, I just need the time.”
Rob9118: “GTEE, now's the time! Pick a
cache and lets go hide it!”
GTEE:
“Ok, ok, ok. I do have this nano cache I bought. I just
really don't like the nanos myself, so maybe I'll find something
else.”
Announcer: Just as Ga Tech EEs was about to
throw the nano back in the box … Chuck, The Evil
Sandwich-Making Guy jumps out from behind the bushes, condiment gun
drawn and ready to fire.
CTESMG: “Ok you three ... three,
geo-whatever's! I heard you talking, hand over all your
cash!”
Announcer: The three geocachers looked at each
other confused, yet concerned. Ga Tech Ees turned back to Chuck
...
GTEE:
“Um … you're just a cartoon,
right?”
CTESMG: “Oh, I'm real enough! Now hand
over the cash, or your geo-what's-it friends here find out what a
hot dog feels like!”
Rob9118: “Wait! No! You have it all
wrong. We were talking about cache, not cash!”
CTESMG: “Oh, wise guy. And what kind of a
user name is Rob9118? I should mustard you right
now!”
Announcer: Chuck aimed his condiment gun at
Rob9118.
LML:
“Stop, no, you don't understand. We were talking cache,
C-A-C-H-E, a hiding or storage place; not cash, C-A-S-H, as in
money. There's a difference.”
CTESMG: “Cache, cash, stop trying to play
word games with me, hand it over.”
Announcer: Ga Tech EEs tossed the nano towards
Chuck. Chuck opened it and examines the log …
CTESMG: “What's this? Where is the
cash?
GTEE:
“That IS the cache. That's what we have been trying to tell
you.”
CTESMG: “Still trying to be wise with me.
I'm taking your “cache” and you're taking a condiment
shower!”
As the triple stream of ketchup,
mustard, and mayo began to splatter across my face … I woke
up!
I double checked to make sure I was
condiment free. I looked around and everything seemed to be in
order ...
“Wow, what a weird dream. I
need to spend less time watching PBS Kids”
I was packing up the geo-box but I
couldn't find my nano. Well, I probably dropped it when I dozed
off. Good riddance anyway. Then, I noticed something that was not
there before. I snapped a quick photo, then picked it up and read
the back.
“Thought you could fool me? I
took your nano “cache” and I hid it where you will
never find it. If you want it back, you had better bring some real
cash with you and leave the word games at home.” - Chuck, The
Evil Sandwich-Making Guy!
{Now you all know why I went into
engineering. Good Luck!}
Word Up!
Congratulations to Rat Rat for solving the mystery and being
FTF. Great work! Bonus Smiley for the poetry!
And special thanks to Rob9118 and
Leggo My Legos for getting me started on this crazy game, and for
being good sports on this cache!
