Geocaching user names
Me....my geocaching name is Wingaap...and it is really Wing aap not Win gaap as some may think. I think the second idea may have come into being as a majority of my caches are in The Gap area of Brisbane.
How did it come about? As I enjoy trying many new & different things and have a habit of venturing in without being fully prepared my friends often stated that I must get by on a Wing And A Prayer. This somehow became shortened and my nickname ended up being Wingaap.
However most days it gets 'shortened' to Wingy.

team name UdderChaos. (formerly Andrew&Leesa)
we are not really just Andrew & Leesa as boys (6&3) are always with us + sometimes another couple as well.
Udder is refering to the cow mascot (yet to be sorted out as we just changed names) as Leesa likes cows.
Chaos, well if you have been caching with us with the kids it will all make sense

My scouting name was Tank had since I was 14 years old. Tried to register Tank on the internet, but was already taken added 47 to it have had to resort to 1947 at times. 47 is year of birth, hence Tank47, it is the registration of my Red Nissan Patrol. Whenever we go 4WDing my call sign on the UHF radio is Tank.

So obscure, no-one seems to get it....
Oh well, can't change it now (haven't come up with anything better anyway!)
Blackadda, with underpants on his head and a pendil up each nostril is trying to prove he is mad to get out of the war.
George: "What is your name?"
Blackadder: "Wibble."
G: "What is 2 plus 2?"
B: "Wibble, Wibble."

My geocaching username is just my initials. I have been known as If or Iffy for so long now that no one (including myself) actually remembers my real name anymore. A recent survey of work colleagues came up with only one person (the rostering clerk) who actually knew my last name

We couldn't work out whose name to put first in a combined caching name (adam&shelly or shelly&adam), so we went for the obscure simpsons reference instead.

Burns: Smithers, I've designed a new plane. I call it the "Spruce
Moose", and it will carry two hundred passengers from New
York's Idyllwild Airport to the Belgian Congo in seventeen
minutes!
Smithers: That's quite a nice model, sir.
Burns: Model?

Many many years working in Hotels including crazy hours of working until 6am saw me develop a passion for coffee. During this time I searched for the perfect coffee and a obsession was born. Since that time I have studied growing, roasting, grinding, barista and making the perfect espresso. during my certificate 4 in workplace assesment and training I modelled my asignments on a cappucinno and developed a portion breakdown recipe standard for all types of coffee from a commercial machine. I have a commercial machine in my home and I have been known to drink up to 30 coffee's in a day, and No I dont have any trouble sleeping. Over the years my friends referred to me as Mr.Coffee and it seemed fitting to use this name for geocaching. The Clan add on was from a post by Biggles Bear who wrote "Coffee Clan" in his post and I decided to add this to include the family. My Regards and the sign off sentence was started when I forgot once to add a note to my log and I could not be bothered re-writing the log so I added the "xtra" section to the finish. since then I enjoy adding a final sign of to our logs.<p>
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "Page Breaks would make this easier to read" Clan.
