Pimp my Pump: Dark Side of the Moon Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

ArizonaSmith: Pumpa je totalno izblijedila a cache konstantno nestaje, pa nema druge nego arhivirati ovo. Zbogom!
The pump faded out almost completely and the cache keeps disappearing. So, archiving is the logical option. Goodbye!

Geocache Description:



For the story behind Pimp my Pump crew, all references, info, water pumps, and projects check Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, all the PmP news and a complete list of all pimped pumps will be there, up to date. Also, paint on the pumps, and especially on the floor, unfortunately deteriorates with time, so the pumps can be rather different looking than their pictures in the listing...

EN: This pump has been, for some strange reason, pimped not only once (drumroll), not only twice (drumroll), but whole three times (cymbals crash!)! First time, it was painted in green with red stripe all around (see photo). For some reason, this was not good enough, so they re-pimped (urbandictionary.com lists “repimp” as “when a hoe bounces from one pimp to another”. Naturally, this is NOT the action associated with this pump here. ) it into a Snowman. Great as it looked, apparently it still didn’t satisfy the sensitive standard of PimpMyPump crew. So to hell with everything, they re-pimped the re-pimped one (I don’t even wanna look at the dictionary. Which would probably define it as “Bouncing hoe”.) to “Dark Side of the Moon” texture.

Pink Floyd’s album “Dark Side of the Moon” is the most commercial album of the band (sold in 50 million copies), and probably their most important one. Published in 1973, it stayed at the charts for 741 consecutive weeks, from 1973 to 1988. In addition to its comercially success, album is loved by the critics, too, and it often appears on the lists of greatest albums of all time. Cover of the album, which has been used as theme for this pimping, has also reached cult status, and has been copied many times since.
This is, personally, one of the most original pumps, so I made the cache a bit more challenging…

(is it me, or the parking traffic sign in these photos is approaching at alarming rate??? Damn!)

HR: Ova pumpa je, iz nekog čudnog razloga, pimpana ne jednom (drumroll), ne dvaput (drumroll), nego cijela tri puta (udarac u činele!)!. Prvi put je ofarbana u zeleno, sa crvenom trakom okolo (vidi slike). Iz nekog razloga, ovo nije bilo dovoljno dobro, pa su je re-pimpali u Snjegovića. Bez obzira kako Snjegović fantastično izgledao, očito još uvijek nije zadovoljavao istančane ukuse PimpMyPump klana. Tako da nek' sve ide u onu stvar, nije Grof cicija, repimpali su repimpanog Snjegovića u „Dark Side of the Moon“ temu.

Pink Floydov album “Dark Side of the Moon” je najprodavaniji album grupe (prodan je u 50 milijuna primjeraka), a možda i najznačajniji. Izdan 1973, ostao je na top listi 741 uzastopna tjedna, od 1973 do 1988. Uz sav komercijalni uspjeh, album je omiljen i među kritičarima, te je često na listama najboljih albuma svih vremena. Omot albuma, koji je “spimpan” na ovoj pumpi je također dosegao kultni status, te je kopiran bezbroj puta od tada.
Ovo mi je osobno jedna od najoriginajnijih pumpi, pa je i cache trunčicu zahtjevniji...

Za priču o Pimp my Pump ekipi, reference, informacije, ofarbane gradske pumpe, i ostale projekte provjerite Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, sve PmP vijesti te kompletna recentna lista spimpanih pumpi će biti tamo. Isto tako, boje na pumpama, a pogotovo na podu, nažalost blijede s vremenom, pa pumpe mogu izgledati dosta drugačije nego njihove slike u listingu...
