Yeah, he just got here yesterday, top hat and all, in a GIGANTIC box. He’ll be hanging out for about a week, and among other matters, attending the Wedding of Evil ™. Right now he’s chilling with Charity Bear, Toucan, Homer, Edward, Fiddle Ed, and Pooky. ---

Ooh, great! I heard he had been found, but I didn’t know where he was. Matt, now you have that date you wanted! 😃 I don’t know if his next stop is scheduled, but I know I am on the list. Would you consider sending him to Kansas? He could go counter-picket You Know Who! ---

Where was he? What happened? Did I offend so he took another flight? ☹ Are we sure it _is_ Miles? :dubious: Smell him and make sure. ---

I sent him to Florida but he was never delivered and the person I sent him to didn’t go to the post office to claim him. So after a great deal of time he was returned to me. I had to get him a second box because my post office didn’t like all the other post office stickers on the original box. They were for a different service than was I was using to send him to Matt. Oh and Miles got a gift for his next host. He should have been holding in his hands inside the box that was withing the blue box that was within the giant box. (the tiny kite that actually will fly) Twice I tried to get a picture of Miles with the Naked Singing Cowboy but don’t you just know that there is never a Naked Singing Cowboy when you need one. ---

Was he supposed to come to me in Florida? I never received a notice to pick him up and both of my postal carriers supposedly looked into it for me. 😕 ---

I don’t know. It was addressed to a real world address and a real world name not a doper name. ---

I’m curious. . . What sort of “accessories” has he picked up on the way? When I got him out in Qatar, he had a few pins on his lapels. Did anyone else add anything to him? Tripler I’m _ **STILL** _ pissed off my pictures with him got erased! :mad: ---

I\* think\* it was Tallahassee. Anyway it came back as ‘unclaimed’. Anyway I got Miles during one of the worst times of my life. Life is a bit better now but back then I was pretty down and I was reading Dracula so those two things really affected the way I wrote Miles diary. ---

He left here with a pair of sunglasses, and a disc of all the pictures I took with room for dopers to add more pics! I was going to make him a nifty pair of shorts and a tank top, but ran out of time. I am glad he has been found - My kids will be excited to see the photo of him with all the Canadian dopers. ---

Awesome!! I’m glad to hear that he made it to Canada safely! **matt\_mcl** , have you mailed him off yet? Please send him **Baker** ’s way. He/she has been dieing to host Miles. I also want to thank everyone for the success we’re having with the tour. If we can keep this up, and if the damn post office will cooperate a little better, we will have a kick ass world tour. It’s not too late for more people to sign up. If you are interested, email me at “[worldtourteddy@hotmail.com](mailto:worldtourteddy@hotmail.com)”. I am especially interested in participants from countries other than the US. But all US Dopers are welcome as well. ---

Kay. Next person on the list is D.L.E. in Topeka, who I assume is **Baker**. I’ve set up a photo account at [http://www.flickr.com/photos/milesthemonkey/](http://www.flickr.com/photos/milesthemonkey/) . Login and password in the notebook. There was a diskette in the box of photos from Miles’ sejour in New York, which I’ve also uploaded. ---

Would be much obliged if someone could also upload the contents of the CD Rom. At present, I can’t be arsed. Thanks! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/miles-the-monkey-resurrection/275618.md?page=2)
