Fizzymagic's Big Adventure
Reunited at last, TEAM SOFA and FUZZY LOGIC give each other a small nod and a weary smile before getting back into the car. Utterly exhausted from the adventurous day's absurdities, neither of them want to drive, which surprises them both. A quick round of Rochambeau settles the decision. "I knew you'd do scissors, Yofa. You're so predictable," declares Fizzy, ignoring Yofa's indignant snort.
Within minutes, they pull into the parking lot and walk across to the picnic area, where everyone else has already arrived.
"FIZZYMAGIC! We thought you'd never make it." The gathered crowd warmly greets Fizzy.
"Well, I almost didn't. You wouldn't believe what..."
"No time for your storytelling right now, Fizzy," interjects thanman2, "We've been waiting for you because..."
"SURPRISE!!!!! We wanted to throw you this event to celebrate your birthday, your 10,000 milestone, AND your retirement!!!!!"
"Wow, what a surprise!" Fizzy grins delightedly. "I had absolutely no idea."
"Yes! We were all brainstorming ideas, trying to figure out how to honor you on this special occasion, and we finally realized, what better way than to have you solve and find a celebratory puzzle! Riiiiight???" The crowd of geocachers parts, gradually clearing a path to the middle of the grass where Fizzy sees...
A dais has been set-up!
With a chair.
A small table.
And a laptop.
"Whaaaaa...?" Grin slowly fading, Fizzy walks forward and takes a seat, and everyone draws closer, eager to watch how it goes. Looking around at their faces filled with anticipation, Fizzy starts to sweat... profusely. He turns to the laptop, which is already on, and the screen only has one single browser window open with one tiny URL on the page:

He clicks on the link and wonders if anyone else is going to lend him a hand with the solve. Sigh... if only he had stayed home, resting on the couch! But, nooooooo.......... he had to go on a big adventure instead..............
