Sesame Street--Housesitting for OSCAR Traditional Cache

No one enjoys a rainy day more than Oscar, who's known for being disagreeable. In spite of his grouchy attitude, everyone loves Oscar and nobody lets his grouchiness get in the way of fun! By collecting everyone else's junk, Oscar winds up helping out in his own neighborhood: the more junk he collects, the cleaner the streets get. He has a soft spot for his pet worm, Slimey and he reads to him each night before bed.

Birthday: June 1

Favorite Song: "I Love Trash"

Best Friends: Slimey the Worm and Maria (though he wouldn't admit it to her)

Quote: "Scram!"

Likes: Rainy days; arguing; standing in line at the movies (not seeing movies, just standing in line); anchovy milkshakes

Dislikes: "You name it, I dislike it. Now go away."

Now for the cache...

It is the usual slim-pickens ammo box given to me by Reidcruzers. This ammo can is hidden in an unusual way and the fun part will be to find Oscars house. After you find the house, take it out of it's hiding spot, hold the handle on the top, and push the gray button. Then you can retrieve the ammo can. Inside the ammo can you will find small, homemade replicas of Oscar's best friend, Slimey the worm. Not to many people remember slimey but when I think of Oscar, I also think of slimey.

Here is a picture of slimey:

Feel free to take a replica of Slimey the worm, there are puppets and just figures, and you don't have to trade anything. This is just to spread the work of Oscar around the caching community. Please let me know when you take a slimey so that I can keep track of how many are in there.

Thanks again to Reidcruzer's for such a great series!!!

I leave you with some lyrics from Oscar's favorite song...

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash

I have here a sneaker that's tattered and worn
It's all full of holes and the laces are torn
A gift from my mother the day I was born
I love it because it's trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash

I have here some newspaper thirteen months old
I wrapped fish inside it; it's smelly and cold
But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot o' gold!
I love it because it's trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash

I've a clock that won't work
And an old telephone
A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone
And I am delighted to call them my own!
I love them because they're trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love, I love, I love trash!
