Current Goal

Makrilli on lopen kyllästynyt veteen ja tahtoo päästä käymään kaikenlaisissa kuivissa paikoissa. Kuiva paikka voi olla autiomaa, johtokunnan kokous... mitä vaan. Makrilli on myös masentunut, epäonninen luuseri. Kerro sille jokin tarina onnesta tai onnellisuudesta - ehkä se tulee iloisemmaksi!
Mackerell is fed up with water and wants to visit all kinds of dry places, such as deserts or board meetings. Mackerell is also a depressed, unluckly loser. Tell it some story about luck or happniess -perhaps it will be happier too!

About This Item

Melancholy Mackerell

Melankolinen Makrilli on TB Lucky Foxin tuhkasta noussut uusi TB.

Lucky Fox eli Onnenkettu liittyi TB-lätkään, jonka voitin kilpailussa, jossa tehtävänä oli arvata 1000:n suomalaisen kätkön piilotuspäivämäärä. Olin aikaisemmin voittanut vain pulloharjan, mutta piakkoin TB-lätkän voitettuani, voitin myös putelin aitoa shampanjaa... Voittoisa lätkä toi kuitenkin onnea vain minulle, ei Onnenketulle. Se varastettiin heti ensimmäisestä kätköstään ja pian varastettiin myös Onnenkettu 2, jonka laskin liikkeelle copy-tägin kera. (Tällä kertaa ystävällinen varas jätti tägin kätköön. Miten jaloa...)

Tästä suivaantuneena hautasin Onnenketun kokonaan ja nyt tilalla on masentunut luuseri, eräänlainen travelbugien Ihaa. Piristä sitä ja muita Makrillin sivuilla kävijöitä onnellisilla tai onnekkailla kertomuksilla ja vie fisu mihin tahansa kuiviin paikkoihin (ranta- ja saarikätköt sun muut vetiset lokaatiot eivät ole suotavia).


Melancholy Mackerell is a TB risen from the ashes of TB Lucky Fox.

Lucky Fox used to travel with a tag that I won in a competition, where the task was to guess the hiding date of the 1000th Finnish cache. Previously I had won only a bottle brush, but quite quickly after winning the tag, I also won a bottle of real champagne... the winning tag, however, brought luck only to me, not to Lucky Fox. It was stolen in its very first cache and soon after that was stolen also Lucky Fox2, which I released with the copy tag. (This time the friendly thief left the tag in the cache. How noble...)

Because of this, I got angry and discarded Lucky Fox as such. On her place there's now a depressed looser, an Eeyore of travelbugs. Cheer it and other visitors of the TB page by stories about happiness and luck and take the fish to whichever dry places (shore and island caches and other waterly locations are not recommended.

What is it in this bug that so much tempts criminal minds? Now it got stolen for the very last time, and will stop existing. Hopefully you 3 thiefs are now happy.

Stopped by the cache "Cliff Nelson 2" where this TB is listed as its present location. I can assure you that it is not in the cache.

An exchange student from Finland was trying to teach my 7 year-old son about his country. The student asked, "Do you know the colors of the Finnish flag?" My son answered, "Of course, black and white checkered."
