Poll: Huckle Buckle Beanstalk

The Ginger Loon · Post by **The Ginger Loon** » 17 February 06 1:12 am

Found this listing in the Glossary section of the GeoWiki:

Huckle Buckle Beanstalk - What you call out when you are out finding caches with other teams, and you see and locate the cache before they do. It also confirms to Newbies that they are really out with loonies! This is an obscure way to say you found it!

Does anyone in Australia really say this???

Um...no. I've never heard this said EVER in ANY situation.

Weird.

unless there is muggles around, I never use a code word for a find... just a simple found it, or a silly grin and sit there waiting for the caching partner for the day to hurry up and find it as well.

If muggles are around and I have found the cache, I give a little whistle, to attract my partner of crime.....

no, but I have called out a lot of things about a waypoint or two and at particular cache placers ..... but pesky! never replies

What's the deal with Americans...isn't 'Got it' enough?

A more Australian slant on this would be something along the lines of

a) You still using a Garmin/Magellan? No wonder you aren't finding too many.
b) That's 11 to me and only 2 to you for the day. Wanna borrow my glasses?
c) Another one to me. Up your nose with a rubber hose.
d) How did you manage to find 842 caches without me here?
e) Boy, you really suck at this.
f) Say nothing then say "I've already found it, logged it and replaced it because I know you like to find them yourself" Then say "Cold....colder....way cold...." Then follow up with a,b,c,d or e above.

Ginger, I am putting you on notice right here and right now, in front of all the geocachers who haunt the GCA forums.....

If you utter this phrase "Huckle Buckle Beanstalk" at all on Saturday, I will...

a) insert your GPS unit where the sun doesn't shine.....
b) beat you to a bloody pulp with a wet trainticket
c) and turn your corpse into a dive cache out in the middle of the harbour...

Do I make myself clear?

So, first finder gets a used gps and a free ride home on a train? This would be a difficulty 5 cache as special equipment will be required, rubber gloves and floaties.

Google suggests that it is quite a common phrase in the US of A and, from the number of listings returned, I suspect that most Americans would know that you had just found something.

Perhaps it is the US of A equivalent of our EUREKA

Unfortunately, mr walker usually works alone, but he has been known to shout himself an extra glass of cold milk. Once, and only once; when he got a little over excited at beating some very competitive local cachers to a new cache he not only called out, but unfortunately logged " Well Ye Haw," which I think is another Americanism apropos of something.

I use the term BINGO.
This is generally followed very quickly by any fellow cachers with me saying BASTARD!

BTW, that list of terms is lifted from another website and is copyright. It probably shouldn't be in the WIKI without editing or attribution.

Scary thing is.... There is presently one "YES" vote !

The Ginger Loon · Post by **The Ginger Loon** » 17 February 06 3:21 pm

Don't worry about the "YES" vote, I know who did that...
