==TransporTed== (I've had a stupid idea - any interest? )
Discussion
I decided to send my tiny teddy bear on a world trip (via post to other people) and get photos of him in as many different & interesting places (maybe doing daft things) as possible. All photos e mailed back will be posTed on his personal web site. It's a stupid idea... but hey, someones gotta' have 'em.
I thought it might be good if we got a few PistonTeds to start the ball rolling... then we can unleash him on an unsuspecting world.
Anyone want to join this stupid game? The further away from here the better - I am trying to send him as many miles as possible before he gets decapitaTed - or worse.
If you want to join in, post your name and location on this thread and we'll start the ball rolling. I guess in here we cover Spain, Ireland, New Zealand, Holland, USA, Hong Kong etc. oh and England - and of course going back and forwards to England will clock up the acumulaTed miles.
If any are interesTed, I'll get an address from you and snail mail Ted.... and you can send it to another from this forum... and when we are all bored to hell with the idea, we can send him into the unknown and see what happens. Poor Ted.

P.S. (I was going to call him PetrolTed, but thought I'd get sued)

Crikey - what a great response. Looks like he's set for some travels.
He loves all the places mentioned... If I send him to you Paul (Gopher) could you get a pic in Canada (Far too good an oportunity to miss) then send him from there back to someone else on this thread - perhaps take an address before you go?
From there on - he's on his own.
I'll e mail you.

The 'Bear-er' will send it to whoever ... but we are hoping to keep it within this forum for a while, so everyone sad enough to want to join in, can. Whoever gets it can look in here to see places/people to send to (we have at least 5 countries now)
I have no say in the matter from now on... I'll just post the pics!

the one shot rule, which I dont agree with?
Rob... I just thought it would be good to get the bear off to as many places and as many photographers as possible. The photographer is as important as the place. If I had one photographer taking him on a 4 month trip (as I've been offered) then we don't get the variety of photographer / sense of humour as well as venue.
It's just a silly game to get him to as many people as possible. If I were looking at the site, I'd want to see a different photographer for each photo.... not 20 from the same photographer in the same location.
Niagra Falls seemed a good start!
By all means send more than one pic: I suggest one person/one venue... but that doesn't mean you can't get Mrs Bob to take one!

I have friends and family on 4 continents. Happy to give ted to a PHer, just decide (and then tell me) where he is going next. Dont like making decisions, especially about other peoples teddy bears
Sorry... has to be your decision (you'll be the bearer) but you have loads to choose from on this thread!
