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.

Paris Hilton For President?

This would be scary if it were real. The American Idol crowd would probably change their vote from Barack to Paris.

Badger Madness

Where did all of these badgers come from? First I read this story.

Mating German badgers cause police chopper emergency call

Residents of the tiny German town of Vettelschoss alerted police to what they thought were female screams coming from the woods on Monday evening – but after police sent out a helicopter they discovered the noises were coming from mating badgers.

Police in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate said investigators sent out the helicopter because it had night vision capabilities.

“The crew on this mission is going to be teased terribly,” police in the nearby town of Neuwied said in a statement.

Police were able to identify the screams when they saw one of the love-crazed badgers, whose howls of pleasure apparently “can be mistaken for human screams,” police said.


Then I find this video. I bet it's the same badger. You tell me if, "Wiggle wiggle wamp. Wiggle wiggle wu." can be mistaken for human scrams?

Weird Foreign Commercial

Grey Poupon Still Funny After All These Years

When I was a kid I used to laugh at this silly commercial:



Is it just me or did commercials run for years back in the 80's.

Anyway what brings up this mustard nostalgia was this new story from the Salt Lake Tribune

A Sandy man took offense to a motorist, who, after getting him to roll down his window, asked, "Excuse me, sir, do you have any Grey Poupon?" After hearing the request for Dijon mustard, the 22-year-old driver pulled a black handgun from his glove compartment, cocked the weapon and pointed it at the three people in the other car. "Here's your Grey Poupon, roll your [expletive] windows up," he responded.The confrontation happened June 18 at the intersection of 900 East and Winchester Street (6500 South) in Murray, court documents state. One of the three people in the car wrote down the SUV's license plate number.Murray police later located the man, who admitted to an officer that he pulled out the gun, racked the slide and threaten the other car. He was charged Tuesday with aggravated assault, a third-degree felony.
It was a good thing the guy didn't ask "Where's the Beef?"
