If we can't meet up, here's an idea!

Since we're all from (or living in) different parts of the world, I thought of an interesting way for us to all "meet!"

I don't know if you guys are familiar with "Flat Stanley"...a lot of kids' classrooms use him. The concept is, you mail him to friends or family in different locations, they photograph him in front of a local landmark or building (ie the Tower Bridge in London, the Pyramids in Giza, the Great Wall of China, or wherever) and then send him to another location.

My idea is this...I bought a loose Murdock action figure from ebay. What if I took a picture of him in front of the Grand Ole Opry or the Tennessee Titans stadium, then sent him on to another list member? Then, once we get done, we could all enjoy a scrapbook of HM's "travels," and see the sights where all of us live, so to speak.

What do you guys think?

It's a neat idea, but I think Mosame would probably keep the Murdock doll.

[mosame]

Don't worry, HD, much as I love Murdock I'm not that desperate yet.

[HoudiniDerek]

I don't mind the idea, but I think it would be tough. Some people do not feel comfortable giving out an address to people they do not know. If there is a good way to coordinate it where everyone feels comfortable, I will be all for it. However, I am not sure that we will get many people involved because of the "danger" to some degree.

[mizhowlinmad]

I guess we could take a vote? I wouldn't want anyone to participate who wasn't fully comfortable, and yeah, I understand why some may not want to.

[mosame]

Yes, this can be dangerous. If this Murdock doll would be lost on its way to Poland I would be the one accused of taking it!
But apart from that I like this idea ;D

[HoudiniDerek]

I would say that anyone who does want to be included should post in this thread saying that they will take part. Do not give out addresses or anything like that yet though. Once we get a number of people involved, then we will go and worry about the logistics.

Hell I'm up for that. Sounds like fun. ;D

I've even met people in real life whom I've met on the net....& no it wasn't that sort of meeting.

[mizhowlinmad]

I'm definitely game for it as well. HM could use a vacation. ;D

[HoudiniDerek]

Sure it wasn't Eve.

So who all is game for it? Amy, we could send them to your US address. ;D
