Geocache Description:


I recently lost a bet with Obie, his request for winning was a cache dedicated to the late, great brummelbear. What an awesome choice!


Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates... you must solve the puzzle, find the container, and sign the log to claim the smiley.

Fozzie Bear is a Muppet character best known for his ineffective stand-up comedy skills. Fozzie is an orange bear who often wears a brown pork pie hat and a pink and white polka dot necktie. The character debuted on The Muppet Show, as the show's stand-up comic, a role where he uses the catchphrase "Wocka wocka!" to indicate that he'd completed a joke. He was often the target of ridicule, particularly from balcony hecklers Statler and Waldorf. Fozzie was performed by Frank Oz until 2001, after which Eric Jacobson became the character's principal performer.

The origin of Fozzie's name has been traditionally thought to be a pun of performer Frank Oz's name (F.Oz). It was also believed that the character was actually named after Al Fuzzie, the mascot of the Alpha Xi Delta sorority in the mid-1970s; Henson's wife, Jane, was a member of the sorority. However, Oz confirmed on Twitter in 2018 that Fozzie was named after Faz Fazakas, a Muppet workshop person, who was nicknamed "Faz."

Fozzie Bear was originally Oz's main character. The popularity of Miss Piggy overtook Fozzie's, but he remained popular. One of his largest roles ever was in A Muppet Family Christmas, where he took all of his friends to his mother's farm for Christmas.

In 1988, Fozzie was featured in the VHS release Hey, You're as Funny as Fozzie Bear, part of the Jim Henson Company's "Play-Along Video" series. In the video, Fozzie instructs young viewers in various comedy techniques. The concept for the "Play-Along Video" came from Jim Henson's idea that television could be used as an interactive medium and encourage children's creativity.

During the 1990s, his roles became much smaller, due to the fact that Oz had turned his focus to directing non-Muppet films and reduced his time with the Muppets. Fozzie was only a supporting character in the Muppet films of that decade and only appeared in six episodes of Muppets Tonight. However, he returned to prominence when Eric Jacobson took over in 2002, beginning with It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, in which Fozzie was the focus of a number of scenes.

The original puppet is kept in the teddy bear museum in Newby Hall near Ripon, UK.
