Geocache Description:


I am continuing my Laugh In TV series of caches by placing another one here in Tambark Creek Park! 
 

Back in the day when I watched "Laugh In" with my dad, I always laughed at the slap-stick humor of the show and there was a lot of times I didn't get the more adult themed jokes and skits. One of the skits that I enjoyed was The Farkle Family. The jokes, that I understood at the time, were funny and I thought it was funny when the characters used alliterative tongue-twisters. 
In case you are not familiar with The Farkle Family, here's a Wikipedia description of the skit:

"The Farkel Family", a couple with numerous children, all of whom wore round glasses, had bright red hair and large freckles - strikingly similar to their "good friend and trusted neighbor" Ferd Berfel (Dick Martin). The sketch employed diversion humor, the writing paying more attention to the lines said by each player, using alliterative tongue-twisters ("That's a fine-looking Farkel flinger you found there, Frank"). Dan Rowan played father Frank Farkel the Third, Jo Anne Worley, Barbara Sharma, and Patti Deutsch played his wife Fanny Farkel, Goldie Hawn played Sparkle Farkel, and Arte Johnson played Frank Farkel the Fourth. Ruth Buzzi played Flicker Farkel, who wore a frilly dress and would contort herself and roll on the floor and loudly say "HIIIIII!" in a very high-pitched voice. Two of the children were twins named Simon and Gar Farkel, played by cast members of different races (Teresa Graves and Pamela Rodgers in the third season; Johnny Brown and Dennis Allen in the fourth). By the final season the Farkel offspring had dwindled to only two children, played by Ruth Buzzi and the puppet Lester. All of the Farkel skits were written or co-written by David Panich.

So please enjoy this fabulous, fantastic, fun Farkle find!

I am including a Scenic View attribute since you will have a nice view of the nearby soccer and baseball fields. This will also help with your Treasures. 
Has a 3 Difficulty because of the HIIIIII number of muggles you might encounter.
