If you missed it, last night's show "The Forgotten" had geocaching in it. Well, sorta. Some highlights:

• Geocaching was called Globocaching in the show. It reminds me of how Law & Order uses a social networking site called Facespace.
• The geocache that started the show was labeled "EXPLOSIVES" in huge letters. Globocaching guidelines must be slightly different in regards to labeling caches. </sarcasm>
• Travel Bugs were called Travel Hoppers.
• The Travel Hopper in the show was a ladybug Cachekinz.
• The girl who owned the ladybug Travel Hopper was cute though somewhat deranged.
• Apparently Globocaching events are slightly different than Geocaching events. A globocacher seems to be a cross between a geocacher and a furry. Don't get any wild ideas, event organizers.
• They used TNLN (took nothing, left nothing) and TFTC (thanks for the cache) as part of the plot. You'll have to watch it to find out what LOTM means. Maybe we should add it to our glossary.
• The urban geocache was actually pretty ingenius. Christian Slater must have a 3rd eye or something since he found it quickly.

Murder always seems to be on the menu for geocaching related shows. Law and Order: Criminal Intent's show, "The Unblinking Eye" was the first portrayal of geocaching. There's even a suspense thriller called GPS The Movie that has some fun plot twists.
