CGC SS Forumite book: The World Tour!

562 posts in this topic

I've seen monkey mess fights at the zoo that were more coordinated than this deal. Kudos to everyone involved.

There's people that have kept it for months (literally); if people had shown it a good time, then shipped it off right away, everyone would have had it. I thought two years would be enough, but I guess I should have done it for three. In theory the project sounded very interesting, the book being static takes the fun out of things. Geez for heaven sake, it's been next to a moon rock, in Stan Lee's house, in over the skies of Iraq... C'mon people! Let's get this thing moving...

...thanks for sending the book to me... sorry my pics arn't that exciting... I don't get many dancing girls out here in the sticks lol !!!

:hi:

 

So here is my Hollywood update to the CGC SS Forumite book: The World Tour

 

Our friend Paratrooper got this sucker shipped to me right in time for me to bring it with me on my trip to LA. I am still really looking forward to his photos which he mentioned needing to find the time to upload.....

 

On to our trip. My CAW for this particular Hollywood assignment was the one and only DevilsRain. We set off to get a whole bunch of books signed by The Man and gosh darnit we did! Why not bring our world tour friend with us.

We saw a creepy homeless suit spiderman and pulled over. D-Rain gave him a $5 tip for this pose and for what he thought was a spiderman pen only to later discover that spiderman sold him an iron man pen!!!!!!! :o Watch out for that homeless suit spiderman!

We went for a drive. Got a good look at the Lay of the Land.

Traveled back in time to visit the LaBrea Tarpits.

We told this kind sir some stories about where this book had been and where it might go. He was nice enough to share a smile! Huge thanks to Mr. Stan Lee! :)

 

And that concluded the book's tour of Hollywood. DevilsRain and I finished up our trip, realized it was best to put the camera away lol and headed home.

 

 

Stay Tuned For Pt 2---Day of Fun in NYC. I will take you drinking with some boardies. :insane:

 

So I wanted to do a NYC day at the office type update before I send this sucker off on it's journey.

Well I was really hoping that the SLAB would see some SERIOUS Action. But I could not take it to the Jail (Against Policy). So you will get some cool pics, but nothing exciting. Also, I work Narcotics...that's why I don't wear a uniform.

I sent spawnfield a PM with my address but he has not replied, and I have yet to receive anything from him. It's always possible that he sent it without letting me know and it will show up in the next few days.
It's on its way to Canada as we speak... ;)

I am happy to hear that is has actually been shipped out.

 

Hopefully people will take the responsibility of the CGC SS Forumite book: The World Tour more seriously from here on out.

I don't remember who came after me, so if no one else claims that they were next it's yours. (thumbs u

 

Send me your address and you'll get it in a few weeks.

 

Address sent! If I am next, I promise to take photos and mail it off in a timely fashion. (thumbs u

If I can get on the list for Ohio I can get some good pics of this at the Wright Patt Air Force Base.

 

Also not enough hot chicks, hook me up with it and I will get some pics of it with a bunch of strippers from the biggest strip club in Ohio Diamonds. I will try to keep the pics rated R or less. :)

 

Hell I can check and see if Dave Chappelle is still up in Yellow Springs with the family and if available snap some pics of him doing crazy things with it. He is by far the coolest famous person I have ever gotten to know and help out over the years at my old job.
