A nice hike to a nice grab just meters off the Bruce Trail. This cache was placed for a documentary I am creating. I wanted show the process of hiding a cache. For those that completed my night cache this is the exact same location. Because not many of you did, I decided to reuse this location. The name for the cache came from Hellnite reminding me of this Internet Meme I forgot to include in my series.
Who is Salad Fingers?
Salad Fingers is a internet web animated series created by David Firth. The episodes are all about his character 'Salad Fingers'. The eerie creepy stuff was a smash hit when it was first released in 2004. Since then a total of 9 episodes were created. Maybe it's best for you to find out yourself. Watch episode one of Salad Fingers here.
The main character (Salad Fingers) is a bald hunchbacked humanoid with light-green skin, and no visible nose or ears, who speaks with a distorted Northern English accent. His long, strangely shaped fingers are his most notable feature. They were the focus of the first episode of the series, where Salad Fingers is shown getting pleasure from rubbing various objects, particularly rusty metallic ones such as spoons, a doorbell panel, and a kettle. Salad Fingers is unable or purposely unwilling to distinguish between living beings and inanimate objects, and is frequently found talking to various inert articles (notably his finger puppets and in two cases a human corpse). He also talks to his radio in one episode. Furthermore, he often assigns such objects proper names and appears to believe that they can communicate with him directly, sometimes voicing their perceived thoughts himself.
He lives alone in a small shack (containing, among other things, an oven, bedroom, safety cupboard, radio, phone, and table) with the number 22 on the door. Salad Fingers appears to be masochistic, as he can be seen taking pleasure from impaling his finger on a hook, rubbing nettles on himself, or stepping onto a bear trap. His talents include playing the flute and speaking French. He also seems able to use Morse Code, as shown in episode nine, where he must inform others of his strange and eerie condition. It is implied that the desolate world Salad Fingers inhabits is the aftermath of The Great War. He is quite articulate, however he often spouts peculiar English sayings and phrases in situations where they do not fit or even seem relevant.
Salad Fingers takes up various habits, including a regular measurement of the distance between his house and a tree, tasting of the dirt ("floor-sugar"), and listening to his radio. Sometimes he also displays a raspy asthmatic-like breathing when he becomes mesmerized at something or experiences extreme pleasure. These symptoms could be from The Great War. The name "Salad Fingers" was invented by Firth's co-writer, Christian 'Crust' Pickup, who described Firth as having salad fingers while playing the guitar.
