Description

Brains the zombie frog

Once I lived in the lilypond, my only desires were for the satisfying taste of flies on the tongue and the even more satisfying pleasure of a game of tennis in the evening.

Then they came, the hoard of undead, stumbling along ripping limbs from any who crossed their path and ever increasing their number.  I couldn't escape, I tried to hop, but there were so many and I eventually tired and could hop no more.

Now I am one of them.  I roam the world, flies and tennis forgotten as I seek the next warm body to satisfy my hunger and desire for brains.

 

The small print:

Brains is a moveable cache, part of the 2011/12 leapfrog race running from 1 December 2011 to 31 January 2012.  If he survives the race, he will become a regular moveable and continue his quest for flesh.

After you find him, please move him to a new location within 2 days, then add a moved log to update the coordinates.

You can find Brains multiple times, but there must be moves by two other cachers between your finds.

Brains is a fairly small frog and should be easy to hide.

Time for you to be on the move again. Brains is one of my favorites and he was right there waiting patiently to be picked up, for which he was very grateful. He will be relocated very soon.
 
03-Jul-13
Happy to report that Brains is alive, well technically undead, and happy in his little cave.
 
19-Jun-13
A third day forage within the Gnomelands ... though fearful of retribution from the Disenchanted Gnomes, the DNF likely left them placated.

Brains has joined with a group of disenchanted Gnomes in the occupation of this tract of land, the aim being to secede from Australia and create their own independent country.
However with Gnomes in charge this may turn into a dictatorship, it remains to see if emmigration is greater than immigration.

04-May-13
Brains has joined a mass exodus of moveables led by renegade Gnomes, who knows what they plan to do? They are all in hiding for now while hatching their nefarious plans. No point looking for any of them they are nowhere to be found until they are ready to reveal their ultimate goal.

I returned home from a Bingo drop and a cache run, seeing I've never picked up a GC cache on Christmas day before....... to find I'd missed Black Bunny. Nothing like dashing across the road to retrieve a frog just before the heavens opened. Now that was one Xmas gift. Thanks Black Bunny, if only I'd known you were coming you could have come in for some Xmas cheer. Toriaz I have your frog so will bring it up to the event on 27th as long as the canyon is not flooded.

Found in Black Bunny's backpack for the Christmas shuffle.
 
24-Dec-12
Trudge, trudge, trudge in the hot blazing sun went the Bunny till he spied a pile of bones next to a dried up riverbed. Making for the shade he spied a hole to take shelter when suddenly arose a hideous sight of a zombie frog.

Just before the frog was about to start the ritual devouring of the Bunny, the Bunny offered a ride north to fresher climes and new pickings.

Zombie frog agreed that fresh brains would be better so9 hopped along for the ride.

The zombie is heading north for more brains.
 
11-Dec-12
I'd like Brains to head for home, so if anyone from the ACT is near this spot & planning a trip to Sydney/Blue Mountains, can you please toss him in your car for the trip?

I parked at the wrong gate to get this one. Found myself with a 1km round trip walk instead of 100 metres, but it is a lovely day for it. Coordinates were out by 19 metres, but I find this typical of the hider. How you can do this when the little fella was placed only 1 metre from a GC cache I don't quite know.

Brains heard there was a Old Gnomes Home here, and thought it'd be perfect to find some old unused brains!!

If you get to GC2M5KF, see the log where you can sign the...cache log? Look there.

Ahh! slightly scary!

ok, really scary..

Nice find today among all the Frogs, Gnomes and others over 70 participants as well as the odd human, some of them very odd indeed!
many Frogs and Gnomes went to Canberra and who knows where from there, and many stayed to be relocated around the Sydney area very soon.
 
12-Feb-12
Found at an impromptu Frog and Gnome party in the Blue Mountains.

A great number of frogs, gnomes and other moveables gathered to swap tales of their life on the road.

Thanks for the Frog
 
12-Feb-12
What we ended up with was afternoon tea, bags and bags of frogs, and pleasant chats with some very nice cachers - as well as pjmpjm and RogerW3!

Please forgive me if I got it wrong, but I seem to remember pjmpjm, RogerW3, Toriaz and Taiko's family, all at the party. As well as a few young ladies and gentlemen running around and being generally helpful.

We now have many, many frogs to rehome, so the sooner we start the better!
 
12-Feb-12

Yep. Brains was at the Blackheath gathering as well, surrounded by many Leap Frogs.

Seems to be in good shape.

Left him on the table for others to move along.

Bon voyage, Brains!

Don't go looking for any of them before 2:30pm on Sunday.

'Brains' has made his way to Lithgow to visit the Clwydd Headquarters. He is getting ready for the party and the big reunion on Sunday, quite keen to meet old and new friends.
Don't go looking for him he is gone!

Yep. Brains wanted to go to Lithgow.

So I'm sure he's happy to have had only the briefest of visits to Leura.

Good luck, Brains!

Brains turned up in Leura unexpectedly.

Of course, I was glad to see him.

But I always knew where he really wanted to go . . .

'Brains' has made a short stopover in Leura to meet the local cacher. He will arrange for further travel up the mountains where all the Frogs and Gnomes will assemble for the big party Sunday!
Don't go looking for him he has gone.
 
09-Feb-12
'Brain' does not seem to be the worse for wear after the humongous party all the Frogs had, they were all very quiet as I bundled them into the back pack. Well there was no way I was going to pay for all those train tickets!

His foot has broken off but I put it into the cache container. Needs a ride to Clwydd.

Brains wasn't in the same spot as Gnomebling Along - I was looking to cover up Bill the frog and I picked up some bark from the base of the tree and found Brains again!
I won't leave him in the same hole where he lingered for more than a week this time!

This was one of many frogs (as well as a few gnomes) that came along to boot Zalgariath back to Europe at ZEAMMAFF. Things were really hopping as more and more frogs arrived during the afternoon, by the time the event had finished, over 55 movables had hopped onto the table. Of course, with that many frogs hopping around in one place, something was bound to happen, and one poor gnome was bumped to the ground, requiring a trip to gnome hospital and a serious stay there, but the less said about that the better.

I became scared of this frog at home, so I thought it would be best to leave him with his own kind - The Undead. When I arrived however I was surprised to see that the Undead had moved on and Casey Stoner was sitting there glassy eyed, maybe as a result of the Undead's deadly glare.
Brains lept out of my hands and started feasting on Casey's brain -
I could do nothing about it and ran away.

I hope Casey can ridde away quickly from this menacing zombie.

'Brains' has decided to follow me to Parramatta, he jumped ship, so to speak, and hopped behind a fence post at the back of the small car park.
 
11-Dec-11
'Brains' has been found and taken in custody, he vainly tried to evade capture but the promise of fresh brains in blood sauce was too much for him to resist.
He will nonetheless be moved on very soon.

Have moved Brains back out west . . .

Trust that he'll find a ride back east again . .
