i'm interested, but what are we doing? LOL!!! i think i missed something. i'm ready to travel too! where we goin?

I think the idea was to take photos of guppo where we live town/country and post them in the forum. then post him to the next person on the list to do the same, but he got lost in the post so Dandi is willing to take his place.

send him here!!! :]
from what i can gather from past threads... he's mailed to a member where he visits for 72 hrs, put in all kinds of wacky photos & shared here in the forum, then sent to another member & so forth... is that right pat? JA? bsteph?
(ohhh... cross posted :)))))))))

That's what I thought, good. Who wants to play?

hehehe!! this will be great fun! one can always run a [search] for "guppo" to see past photos

Yay!!! The Guppo Legacy Lives On!!!! The way it worked with the original, is that we IM'd our addresses to the originator (then Fred, in this case Pat) who then printed them as a list and put it in with the object. As Cyn said, you have 72 hours in which to introduce Dandi to some photography and then post it (him?her?) to the next person. Last time there was a few delays at a couple of stops and then the poor sod got lost on a European vacation. I think we should have to post a picture of Dandi with ourselves. That way we get to see what each other looks like which saves another thread on that. Oh, and a local landmark is good too. Should we set 3 challenges? Just to add a bit of fun ;-) (",)

Sound good to me, three challenges adds a goal to reach as well as a bit of fun

Hmm... what is the third challenge then?

The list of everyone who wants to participate in this is important, as Dandi's travels can be better coordinated! This way he visits those people in the same general location before movin' on to the next stop. Once a completed list (with addresses) is avaible to Pat, I think we are good to go! For anyone who wants to see what happened last time, checkout the forum resource center and look under Special Events...there are links to ALL the old Guppo threads! L8r! Joe

I remember Guppo. He was making his rounds when I first started visiting the photo forum. Count me in, sounds like fun.

yipppeeee! i love to play games! and i love challenges! count me in! Thanks Pat for starting this!!!! ok, i already know exactly where Dandi and I will go (local landmark!) 3 challenges: local landmark, pic of us with Dandi, and what's the 3rd???? i never heard of a Guppo before. i will do a search and see the history!!! good idea Joe to get the list and then organize the route Dandi will travel! reminds me of Gumby...ya'all remember Gumby from Saturday Night Live???? LOL! what laughs!

i hope the mail to Europe has improved... took 2 months for my small packages to get to several countries there... but then it was the holidaze... so i will IM you Pat with my addy :]

Last time someone sent me a package (books) from the US it took around 8 days. ps. I would be a willing participant :P

When Pat has the addresses she's gonna pass the towns/countries to me to create a world map again... this time I think we'll have a laugh charting his progress ;-) Like Sheila says, we still need to confirm the 3rd challenge (assuming we all agree to the other two?). Ideally we should have something to try for even if it's not necessarily possible - like get a pic of him with a local celebrity / footballer or anything like that? Get a photo of him with a member of the local constabulary? Or we could have a random list of colours in with him, and you have to take a pic of him alongside something predominantly (sp?) the next colour on the list? Come on, ideas people..... (",)

Guppo Rides again!....I am in a state of confusion....when I Sober up..I shall look at this Thread some more.

Y'know if we ship'em by DHL or UPS we really could track his progress! (Probably expensive though!) Or we can invest in a GPS (Guppo Positioning System)...ah nevermind! I like Jordys idead about some theme for the pics! How about each partipant adds something to the list for the next person! Some sort of keyword or idea that challenges the next one in line to work with! L8r! Joe

sounds like fun, i"m game :)

hey, Joe...Awesome idea! I like that...whoever sends Guppo also sends the receipt his/her 3rd challenge! very cool idea!!! hahaha on Guppo Positioning System! Mike, that's a cool idea about getting a shot of Dandy with a celeb, but i know that won't happen on my end. :( Also, i need some pertinent information here guys. What sex is Dandy????? This is really important stuff you're leavin' out!!! Pat, do you have a "bio" on Dandy???? I mean, if i'm gonna spend 72 hours with this chick/dude, well, i like to know a bit more about the "guy!" :)

it's bi :] yeah, i like the idea the 3rd challenge be that of the sender... like a dare or something... hehe

good luck finding out sheila when dandi comes to visit...
the name alone should make you wonder...
oh dear poor clown... rofl! :]

LOL Cindy! Well, i have NO intention of discovering that for myself!!! Surely Pat knows!!! yep...the name alone doesn't give me a clue!!!! LOL!

I am glad I am not Bi...sigh... I am Tri....I will tri anything ...snigger

Morning every one. Dandi is female and named for her hair. sorry I was off line most of last night. So far there are eight of us signed up for the fun. Tedz are you joining us? Dandi weighs 4ozs or about 120gms so shoulden't cost too much when packed for posting. Next question is when are we starting? soon as possible now I think, while we are all eager to go. Anyone still to join in let me have your address and we can get the show on the road, so to speak. Must have another cup of tea before anything else pat

Oh she is 10 inches tall and 3 inches wide approx if that helps will your photo plans.

thanks so much for clearing that up, Pat!!! good to know this stuff! i agree...let's get the show started!!!! well, since Tedz will try anything, perhaps we should send poor Dandi to him last. Once he gets a hold of her, it might be over for the rest of us!!! :)

Shiela, you can be one sick puppy ;-) Shall we call Saturday the cut off date for players? That gives us Sunday to plan her route ready for her to start her tour next week. (",)

woof :) Sat. as a cut off date sounds fine to me.

Now this should be a fun thing and as such I hope that it will be, but to be serious for one moment I have to ask Is everyone happy to share their address with the nine (so far)taking part? Or would you prefer only the person who will post to you to have it. IM me with your thoughts if you like. Thanks I don't want to upset anyone. :-D

good point pat!... doesn't bother me... since mine is a rural route & i just luv getting junk mail :]

It's not the junk mail you wanna worry about it's the catalogues with items of erm.... 'personal interest' snigger (",) (obviously I'm talking Xmas cards)

Hey this sounds like it is kind of cool! I am interested! I would have to agree with Sheila on sending Dandi to Tedz last, did you see what he did to his Barbie doll? LOL! Just kidding! Brenda :)

You can count me in...sounds like fun.

Pat, that was a really important question. THANK YOU for asking! i'm cool with all the participants knowing my address. i have a very serious request to those of you particpating though. I am trusting you with my address and ask that none of ya'all give it out to anyone else. thanks guys. oh yeah...i better get Christmas cards!!! just teasin!

Thank you Sheila, welcome to the fun Brenda and Raz

Sheila, does 'anyone else' include the admittance page of www.debbiedoesdallas.com ? mwuuuuaaaaaaahhhhhhh....... (",)

everything is A-o-k by me Pat! Send away! Joe

i'm afraid to go to that URL, Mike. i don't even wanna know.....

Thanks Joe

Don't worry Shee, it's a sham. It doesn't have anything to do with the film, it just diverts you to a porn site. I was well dissappointed. (",)

I just found out about this(TY Sheila) Even though I am a bit confused here this sounds like fun...May I participate? -Jeff

Welcome Jeff, the more the merrier

Arrg Am I too late? I was metally dragging Guppo up some moutain there, until I got to the Sat cut off....DOE!....What if I say "Pleeeeese", would that make any difference? I think its a great idea. Apart from that its my daughters birthday soon! Only joking!

Starting a new thread this ones long and far back. Welcome Anthony, UKMac and Azy
