Years ago I used to listen to a late night radio program by Dr.
Dimento who played unusual records. One night I heard a record by
Utah Phillips called "Moose Turd Pie." It is the story of a
railroad worker who got stuck being the cook because he complained
about the food. He doesn't want to be the cook so he cooks up a
moose turd pie so someone will complain and that person will become
the new cook.
The story rang a bell with me and I have used it ever since,
when someone complains about something, they get to do it.
Utah Phillips now lives in the Nevada City area and has a
geocache near by,
Marble Orchard.
To find the actual coordinates for this cache, listen to the
story of
Moose Turd Pie
and answer this question: "About how tall is the railroad worker
who eats a bite of the Moose Turd Pie?" Now convert his height into
inches and add that number to the decimal portion of the N and W
coordinates given.
Please rehide it carefully.
Update: Utah passed away on May 23, 2008
