Welcome to my World of Wonderment

Our planet is a neat place, full of weird and unusual people doing weird and unusual things. One oddball thing I like to do is geocache. What other activity is there that makes people travel hundreds of miles to climb a mountain, wade a river, and fight a Bigfoot, just to be the first person to sign a piece of paper rolled up in a 35mm film canister stuffed in the knot hole of a tree? I can't think of any other sport that has such a great mix of technology and the wonderful outdoors. A lot of geocaches are placed in a beautiful setting, or hidden in a challenging or unique way, or in a historical setting. Geocaching allows the finder to share in some of the hiders favorite places, and along the way you get to meet some interesting characters, and occasionally learn something new. While this blog is primarily a geocaching blog, I also use this place to post the occasional funny video or weird news story, or as a platform to rant or rave about something I really have to share. But for the most part this website is about you, the weirdo walking around in circles, talking into your GPS unit like it's a phone, pretending your taking pictures of a phone booth to find find the tiniest micro-cache, or circling your car around and around a light pole in a parking lot trying to retrieve a cache without even getting out of your car.

Presidential Elections

A flying phallus was used to interrupt Gary Kasparov during a campaign speech in Russia last year.  I think this tactic should be used world wide, including the U.S.. The only problem would be how hard it is to tell one dick from the other,  "Oh, McCain has done something with his hair.  Huh?  Oh that's just a flying dildo."

Happy Indigenous People Day

Hug a native, and stop celebrating columbus's mass murder for god, glory, and gold.  Lets stop celebrating the bumbling accomplishment of a slave trader and murderer.  Transform Columbus Day

The Office and Battlestar Galactica

Two of my favorite shows on television are The Office and Battlestar Galactica.  This week's episode of The Office showed Jim torturing Dwight (who said he never wastes a second of his employers time) with deliberate lies about Battlestar in order to get a rise out of him.


The Candidates and Your Tax Dollars

I saw this interesting table on Parade.com.  It's clear that Obama's tax plan is better for the working man than McCain's.

Indiana Jones on South Park

I personally liked the newest Indiana Jones movie but this weeks South Park making fun of the Crystal Skull was still hilarious. Aliens are no more bizarre than god and the arc of the covenant.

Def Leppard Sucks

That last post reminded me of a joke I have been telling for years.
