Marvin's Greasespot Adventure

[Raf]

In the tradition of Flat Stanley...

I'm going to pick up a "Marvin the Martian" knick knack somewhere today, and when I'll take pics of him (and me) in Fort Lauderdale and Fort Worth, TX. I will then pass it off (either by mail or in person) to another GSer. We'll keep doing that until... whenever. If you accept Marvin the Martian, you have to take pics with him and post them. (Paw, I give you the discretion of leaving this thread in the open forum or sending it to the Pics forum).

The pics should show something of the city or surrounding area (I'm sure your living room is perfectly fine, but the idea is to show him off as a world traveller).

Let the journey begin...

Edit: Can't find a Marvin, so we're switching to Stan...

Edit 2: Stan got a very bad reception. We're back to Marvin.

I wanna play!! It'll give me a great excuse to play tourist down here. :D-->

[CoolWaters]

I wanna play, too!

There's soooooooooooo much me and a martian can do here in KC...!

I know exactly the first place we're gonna go, too...

Hehehehehehehe.

[dmiller]

What if you don't know how to post pictures?? -->

[dmiller]

Aaaaaaand --- Is it required that we be in the pic with him, or just some part of the area we live in be in the picture with him?

I was an alien in a foreign land when I was WOW. I wore Marvin Martian T-shirts and baseball caps all the time. “Out of this world Badboy” was on the back of one and other such descriptive sayings. Drove the lil Napoleon WC WOW leader nutz and the LC just rolled his eyes.

Was my game first

[Raf]

Because of privacy issues (some people don't want their ID's known), no one is required to pose in the picture. I'd prefer it, myself, but can understand totally if some don't want to pose.

I couldn't find a Marvin today. May have to wait until I get back from Fort Worth.

[smurfette]

All I can say in best possible marvin voice is...."You have made me very very angry. Very angry indeed..."

Actually I can't wait to see Marvin the touring Martian!

[Cindy!]

The !'s are definitely up for a Marvin experience!!!

[Ham]

He'd probably feel perfectly at home with me, Raf.

[Allan]

I'm happy for him to have a photo with a kangaroo or koala bear at some stage and then I'll jump on a plane and get a photo of him with a Kiwi !!

[ChasUFarley]

I wanna play!

Raf... they have them at Six Flags I believe... will your business take you there this week?

[Cindy!]

The ! family visits Six Flags the weekend of July 4th, Raf...if we still need a Marvin by then!! (in fact we are staying in that area for the weekend!!!)

[Raf]

Well, it turns out finding a Marvin is more difficult than I anticipated, so I'm going to change the name of the game here...

get ready for...

[Raf]

To get there in time for the fourth of July, Stan's first stop after Fort Lauderdale will have to be Chicago.

[DaddyHoundog]

come to New Mexico!!!!!!

Lianne

[Belle]

Orlando too!

[Cindy!]

Raf...

No...I was saying that if they sell them at Six Flags...when we are there for the weekend...we can pick a Marvin up and mail him to whomever!

[Steve!]

Or if you want, you can send Stan to us, and we'll show him a good time (but not TOO good - after all, he IS a minor!) and forward him whereever.

[Belle]

I will be someplace very exciting for July 4th! With an orchestra and lots and lots of people and fireworks. :)-->

[Ham]

Raf, a Marvin really should not be THAT tough to produce. Heck, just take Stan, give him a pair of tennis shoes, a broom hat, paint him black in appropriate spots, and we probably couldn't tell the difference between him and the real McCoy.

[Raf]

Let's have a vote!

All for Stan, say "kicka$$!!!" and the journey will begin in Fort Lauderdale.

All for Marvin, say "Yeah!" or something, and it will begin on the !family's Six Flags trip.

[Steve!]

"Yeah" or something
