Ninji the world traveler

ztrack157 · October 6th, 2009, 07:32 PM

I will be purchasing a mascot stuffed animal for ninjette. My intentions is to let him travel the world and visit a number of members and complete his whirlwind tour at my house in a year or two.

Each member gets him for 2 weeks. Take him with you on road trips and to your hangouts and take pictures of him living the good life then ship him on to the next member on the list for some r&r.

Time to start the travel intenerary!

heres a pic of Ninji:

...its....Cute....

Offensively, Adoreably, and completely cuddlingly...Cute. Send him this way and he will be WELL cared for! "I'm gonna hug him and squeeze him and love him and pet him and call him "george".....*note old looney-tunes reference*"

sombo · October 6th, 2009, 11:33 PM

That's a really cool idea and such a cute little guy. I hope everyone here gets involved and is very responsible with him, he's precious cargo after all.

Sign me up. My mailing address will be changing at the end of the month so I will update accordingly.

We did this on ADV - a little stuffed ostrich in a small Pelican case. It's still in New Zealand, as far as I know. Each member would keep it for a tour around their area, then hook up with another member to meet/greet/handoff.

It's a total hoot and has been ongoing now for a couple years.

The really cool part is meeting new folks to do the handoff.

Greg_E · October 7th, 2009, 06:40 AM

The problem I have is what will the little guy think after riding on my Buell beasty?

PitBull · October 7th, 2009, 09:31 AM

I'd love to participate in this. I think it's a great idea!

Hedge36 · October 7th, 2009, 09:37 AM

I'm in. I'm normally running between DFW, Mobile, Tampa and San Diego, so getting the little bugger around would be a treat.

Here's the last one I was involved in. Turns out, it's in India now: Pooey's World Tour.

M-Oorb · October 7th, 2009, 09:44 AM

This is a great idea...I'm so in

addy126 · October 7th, 2009, 12:34 PM

I love it. This is a wonderful idea....too cute! I'm in for the Dallas leg if need be.

Thanx for coverin me Eric.... btw I have an interesting plan for this for those in the DFW who want to get together with Ninji.... the group thing would be great.... its a surprise to only be known by those centered here..... more later.

shhhhhhhhh...... hoping Lisa (Pitbull) will be able to join as well as the others around here.

ztrack157 · October 7th, 2009, 09:37 PM

I want to have 20 people signed up before this little critter gets to me

CZroe · October 8th, 2009, 09:32 AM

ME!!! I don't know what my cat will do to him but I'll be sure to get it on camera.

Which, itself, was a reference to a character from the classic literature, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck (also known for The Grapes of Wrath). IIRC, Lenny, the large, muscular, mentally disabled guy names a field mouse after George, the "smart" one who takes care of and defends his friend, Lenny. It ends tragically.

ztrack157 · October 8th, 2009, 12:51 PM

ztrack157 · December 1st, 2009, 06:08 PM

Yay! If he gets here fast enough, I might even be able to get a ride or two in with him

ztrack157 · December 1st, 2009, 06:30 PM

Send me your address again

Momaru · December 1st, 2009, 06:42 PM

Do I see an NSA tag sticking out of his behind?

I was gonna volunteer to make sure he gets some mileage when he's near me, but I'm not so sure now, being an NSA agent...

addy126 · December 1st, 2009, 06:48 PM

Don't forget Eric and I representing DFW Tx.... thanx!
