Geocache Description:


Return to Monkey Island                            The posted coordinates are not the location of the cache

The Monkey Island saga from the 1990’s is known throughout the computer gaming world and is considered some of the best adventure games ever made. These included "The Secret of Monkey Island", and 3 sequels including LeChuck's Revenge, Curse of Monkey Island, and Escape from Monkey Island.

This is the misadventures of Guybrush Threepwood as he struggles to become a mighty pirate, defeat the plans of the evil undead pirate "LeChuck", and win the heart of governor Elaine Marley. The islands teem with pirates dressed in outfits that seem to come from movies and comic books rather than history, and there are many references to modern-day pop culture. Much of the fun is working through the many puzzles that advance “Guybrush” to complete the games.

Therefore In keeping with this game tradition, I’ve borrowed from a little pirate puzzle you’ll need to solve in order to generate the needed coordinates for this cache. For this puzzle you’re put in to the role of Guybrush as you battle the evil pirates with not only your sword but more importantly with your quick wit comeback to their insults.

Example - Pirate Insult: “Heaven preserve me! You look like something that's died!                
Correct Comeback:  "The only way you'll be preserved is in formaldehyde."                                              

You’re given 6 pirate insults below. Pick the correct comeback from the 3 multiple choice answers below each of the 6 insults. Each comeback has a number assigned to it. Pick the appropriate comeback and you generate a number for completing the coordinates.  N42º 00.PIR & W88º 47.ATE.  Ok ye scoundrel ready t' do battle?  Fair winds finding our booty!

Insult "P": I’ve got a long, sharp lesson for you to learn today.                                       
Comeback:
P=4  And I've got a little TIP for you. Get the POINT?
P=2  First you better stop waving it like a feather duster.

P=7  When I'm done with you you'll be a boneless filet.


Insult "I":  I once owned a dog that was smarter then you.
Comeback: 
I=7  So you got that job as janitor, after all.
I=9  He must have taught you everything you know
I=1  Then be a good dog. Sit! Stay!

Insult "R":  I'm not going to take your insolence lying down.
Comeback:
R=2  And I've got a little TIP for you, get the point?
R=3  Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh?
R=9  You would have but you were always running away.

Insult "A":  Would you like to be buried or cremated?
Comeback:
A=4  With your breath, I'd rather be suffocated.
A=0  Your odor alone makes me aggravated, agitated, and infuriated.
A=5  With you around I'd rather be fumigated.

Insult "T":  I have never seen such clumsy sword play.
Comeback:
T=9  When I'm done with you you'll be a boneless filet.
T=3  First you better stop waving it like a feather duster.  
T=6  You would have but you were always running away.

Insult "E":  Your looks would make pigs nauseated.
Comeback:
E=4  And your's are completely overrated.
E=2  If you don't count all the ones you dated.
E=6  With your breath, I'm sure they all suffocated.
