Awwww! My Hawaiian George had to come back to the mainland.

But I guess 1 Yr, 148 Days, 7 Hrs, 42 Mins is a pretty good vacation. 8)

When he was consolidating his small bills I ended up with it again, and he wants me to hang on to it and spend it when we go to Disneyland in December. Should I just keep it in circulation and if it gets spent it gets spent, or should I take George across the country?

I get lots of user notes from people who plan on holding my bill they hit until they take a trip somewhere. Every time I take a trip somewhere, I get spending money out specifically for that trip and hold onto it for that purpose. It isn't technically "natural circulation", but then again, neither is getting 100 singles from the bank every couple weeks, and many Georgers do it to where it's become an accepted practice....

So George gets to go on vacation! I forget if he's the one who started in PA or DE since I've gotten two recently, but he's getting a cross-country jaunt...
George is now at the mercy of a housekeeper at the Doubletree on Harbor Blvd in Anaheim...

2 hits on back-to-back days.

At least it's different cities, so it's probably good. I hate it when people get a bill, log it, and then enter it again a few days (sometimes hours) later....

One of my Georges has been found by a top Georger: E=Mc².

Well, he's only #63. Globally. But with 352,984 Bills Entered and 79,903 Total Hits, he's somewhat further ahead of you that would be apparent from your George Scores, beast! :shock:


Oh, and Wattsburg Gary has entered 2,000,000 Bills exactly!? Did he stop at that number (like Fanny loves to do) or did he run up against a maximum limit in the statistic tracking? :shock: :shock:

Oh, cool! I just happened to check when he was having his big milestone and his 10th George Anniversary. 8)

And now, in the couple days since then, he's entered another 1,945 bills! :shock:

George is still in Kandahar. Must be a long deployment.

It still only gets counted as "Armed Forces Europe" on the Hit Analysis Report.

I've gotten a ton of hits on older bills lately. In the past two weeks, I've had four hits on bills from 2008, three on bills from 2007, one on a bill from 2006, and three from bills I entered in 2005! I have a hit streak going dating back to December 19th, and there have been several days where a hit on an ancient bill has kept it going....

Here is my favorite hit from today. I love how there's no explanation....

My Macroeconomics professor announced last week that he will pay anyone in class $1.25 for any "Where's George" stamped bill they bring in. He's fascinated by them.

Uhhhh, did he just make a deal to go broke?

Or do the WG bills have to come from somewhere other than his students? :lol:
