> [@Shirley Ujest](#): > > I am so in with this… > The pictures they took > ( in airplane cockpits,first class seating, surfing in hawaii, laying in a hammock on a beach) were just so cool… > The Ujest family is more than up for this. Awesome!! I think the pictures the interesting variety of pictures will be the best part!! The episode of the Simpsons today was the one wear Moe saved Maggy’s life and started babysitting her… The pictures at the end, where they’re sitting on the beach watching the sunset, Moe riding Maggy on his bike, carrying her in the park on his shoulders… I thought “I want crazy pictures like that of Miles, but only from all over the world!!” (Yeah, I think he’s gonna be called Miles. I like that. I think others agree) ---

> [@Bear\_Nenno](#): > > Some of you have been here long enough to remember EVIL BITCH. The teddy bear left after a bad break up between **plt** and his girlfriend. His great idea was to send this teddy bear around the world. Unfortunately, it never got off the ground. I believe it was partly because of his living situation (having to move) and partly because he did not expect the huge interest. I originally signed up here to get into the Evil Bitch tour. Was really disappointed it didn’t take. So I will give it another try. I think it should be named Vorkosigan. If you recognize the name, you know why it is appropriate. 😛 ---

Sure, go ahead and start this after I leave for my trip to Europe. I could have given the little guy a real good tour of Europe by motorcycle. I would have even given him a helmet so he’d be safe. I’ll just have to get my own bear now I guess. I might still be in though, don’t know what exciting locations I’ll be at this summer though as all my money and time off will be in Europe. ---

Oh, I signed up! I’ll be in Austin after June first, and I’m already thinking of places to take pictures of him! ---

I’ve got pleanty of participants to get started. I don’t feel that Ill get many more before the 31st, so I am going to get started on the logistics this weekend. Everyone is still welcome to sign up and join in, but the Start date will be sooner than late June. I think I might send him off to **Tripler** by the end of this month!! So hurry up and join in. Suprisingly, I still don’t have anyone from Canda :eek: Everyone who is signed up should expect an email Sunday. If you dont get it, resend your info. Thanks Guys!!! ---

I’d love to do it! I’ll show him a real fun time in Nashville. I was going to suggest naming the bear after Paddington, but on second thought, **Cecil** would be even better. I’ll e-mail my info to you now. ---

> [@Bear\_Nenno](#): > > So I guess the whole community has pretty much given up on even trying? I think that what happens is that people sign up with good intentions and then realize what a pain in the butt going to the post office can be. It’s like you mean well, but it gets easy to stuff the bear in a closet and not deal with it, you know? On other boards, the most successful ‘tour’ was with an object that was in a small box that all you had to do was re-wrap, add postage to and drop in a mail box. We figured out about how much to would cost via the net. Since nobody had to go to the post office, it went pretty well. If the bear is tiny, I would be up for it. Right now, having a newborn, waiting in line for 45 minutes is not an option. ---

Cool idea! I’ll play. Although there’s not too much to see in my little burg, I think I can show Miles a good time. I’ll email you later this morning. ~Sami ---

I’m in. We shall visit Yellowstone Nat’l Park together. Couldn’t be any worse than the nonexistant dates I’ve been on lately. I’m leaning towards “Miles”. ---

I wanna play! I do a post office run about every day so I’ll have no problem sending the little guy off when the time comes. Unless I just love him too much. 😉 j/k I can do websites, but nothing spetacular. Simple HTML, but I’ve been told it’s good. Check my sig for an example. I love a good hobby! ---
