In a moment of intense silliness (I have those occasionally) I thought it would be fun to run a caption contest for an odd photo. An independent jury (of my choosing) will review the entries, and will select a grand prize winner.
Grand Prize? Of course - an unactivated geocoin from my copious collection...
Now - here's the rules:
1) DO NOT REPOST THE PHOTO OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I'll occasionally repost the photo to keep it on the pages, but if everyone does that the page will never load on some systems!
2) A Separate Post for Each Entry, Please!
3) Entries must be acceptable reading on a family-oriented website. The webmaster and I reserve the right to delete posts which are, in our opinion, in bad form.
4) If you name a cacher other than yourself in the entry, the comment must 'build up' that cacher in a positive way. Make all the fun you want of yourself - but only say nice things about other people!
5) Entries accepted until midnight June 29th, with the winner announced by midnight June 30th.
6) Have fun! Oh yeah - see the next post for the photo and then an example of an entry (and no - NorthWes is not eligible to win, I'm afraid...)

If Scotty is using a Magellan we will never be beemed up Spock.

"Captain, the tricorder says we should find a 20th century metal box which was used to store projectiles propelled by comething called "gun powder" near a blue spherical object."

Rule #4 - first appeal - Denied DO NOT OVER-IDENTIFY WITH THE STAR TREK CHARACTERS! Example (from above) - if you're an engineer, don't feel bad when Scottie (the Chief Engineer) gets joshed for using a Magellan. (It was foisted off on him during a lowest-bid procurement buy... I'm sure the Federation Navy works then like ours works now - it's a wonder any astronauts made it to orbit in a lowest-bid collection of parts assembled by the lowest-bid firm!) As long as no one mentions a particular cacher by name... then it's good to go. By the way, powmia is at the top of the leaderboard as of 4:30pm Anchorage Time...

No No Spock, the GPS calibration instructions specifically states "You put your LEFT I repeat LEFT foot in, you put your LEFT foot out, etc etc". No wonder your death arrow is pointing up.

Mr. Spock, You tied up the computer for three weeks, then told me you solved the mystery of the universe puzzle and we must go to these coordinates…. You mean to tell me, that we turned down leave on Risa to search for a micro on a war ravaged planet? For some ancient game called Geocaching? ARE YOU DAFT MAN? You Green-Blooded, pointy eared, son of a politician!
Yes Captain, we can be FTF and beat the duck looking aliens.
For the non –trekies - (Risa is famous throughout the Alpha and Beta Quadrants as a place of tourism and recreation, and is referred to as a "pleasure planet." Its native species, notorious for their open sexual mores, number approximately three billion, and the planet hosts about one billion tourists at any given time.)

Dang, this has to be the longest multi in the universe and by the looks of things, the Klingons may have been here already! I hope we can still be FTF!

Dang captain, I would rather be court marshaled than geocaching with you again if you don't take a shower.

Spock my friend, we only have 8 more MTboy caches left in the solar system, good thing the Enterprise runs on hydrogenated ungulate nuggets or we could not afford this mission! Spock! Watch out for that creator, I don't want you to get a Cacher needs maintenance coin that way, wait till it's on E-Bay!

"Spock, my triquarter, er, GPS is pointing us directly into that bug-infested jungle swamp. Send in a red shirt to find the cache and sign us in." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshirt_(character) In case an explanation of the definition of "red shirt" is needed.

Wow Jim, Kincaid park certainly has changed over the years. I see the Nike site bunkers are still here, but the Chateau is in ruins.

Spock according to my new garmin we should be within 3 feet of the cache. That's not logical Jim considering mine shows 754 feet of accuracy. Scotty beam me some new coords with your Magellin Sorry Captain I JUST DONT HAVE THE POWER

Spock, you don’t have to hold your purse to tightly… Nobody is going to steal your Klingon bird-of-prey travel bug.

Spock!!! You mean to tell me that I talked the Federation into setting up a whole GPS satelite system in orbit just so you could go and find tupperware in the woods? Yes captain, It is only logical. How else could I get the FTF?
