WheresGeorge.com

Any Georgers out there? You mark your money with stamps (or just write on them), enter them on the site and hope someone finds and enters them again. It's free and you can't make any money doing this but it does satisfy my OCD urges.

Re: WheresGeorge.com

I do have a profile but it's a few hundred years old and I haven't logged in for ages. Maybe I'll have to go dig it up.

Wow.. I've been doing this since 1999 and I only have 5 bills and 1 hit entered! That's pretty sad.

Mine was under my e-mail address from the company I worked for back in the 90's. Somehow I managed to remember the PW so I could change my account to my new e-mail. Just keep guessing until you remember it!

Re: WheresGeorge.com

From reading the WG message boards handwritten in various color inks will give the highest returns (just use good inks). But that's time consuming. The printer method works too. Although, I ordered mine from the stamp connection:

I like the acrylic stamps because they are easy to line up. I bought a self inking one but after months of use it still bleeds through the bills if you stamp too hard.

Re: WheresGeorge.com

I can't help but think that the best method of distributing these is by going to your local strip club.

And I also can't help but think of this The Upright Citizens brigade skit:

(may not be SFW): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZZj0K5Pjp8

And you could track who's used them...

Re: WheresGeorge.com

I have no clue which email address I used when I setup my account eons ago. I probably have less bills entered in than Apophis does...

Ditto. I think I entered two or three bills. I simply forgot to enter them...
