tunafish Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Pictures Boston USA - Mr Chronopolous New York - USA - peterish Detroit USA - Skyypunk Canada - Napalm Frog Canada - o0moonman0o Canada - Bubbabyte There is also a blog as well that i try and keep updated as if ermete was writing it - http://www.beartravels.net Status Update Ermete M.I.A WITH BASIX!!!! It looks as if Basix has gone missing with the bear. This is a BIG SHAME! Need to find out whats going on!! https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/744484-bear-travels/page__st__375 The Bear is "CE" marked and conforms to British Standards BS5665 and European Community EN71. His eyes are of the safety lock-in type. Due to natural pile loss, they are not recommended for children under 18 months. I have decided to something fun and interesting for this site. Its called Bear Travels. Basically I have got a Bear printed with the following on its shirt Neowin.net The idea behind this is to have the Bear photographed in different areas around the world. So basically someone who wants the bear requests it and that member posts it to them, and they then take photos off it at some famous locations around the world. I have kept the size of the Bear down to around 15cm so it should be easy and cheap to post etc. Now you can be in the photo or just the bear but as long as there?s something in the photo that shows what country it has visited, famous landmark maybe or something unique. The idea behind this is to have some fun, promote neowin.net and get a Bear to travel the world, under neowins name. Open to anyone who has a camera etc. However: This relies on a lot of trust, as in im trusting you to take care of the Bear, not steal it etc, im also trusting you to pass it onto others in the world. As ideally I would want the bear back at some point. If you want to be in on this fun adventure please PM m:):) Dont feel left out if someone has taken a place you want to do, just sign up anyway, the more pics the bette:):) The deadline is going to be on 22nd March 2009 - 11:59PM This is to be included in the current line up etc, any sign ups after this will be added to a new list which will start after the first is done.

crazzy88ss Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 There should be a rule, like it can't be sent to anybody with less than 500 posts or something. This may help prevent theft. But it sounds like a sweet idea! Kinda like "Shoot Chase Jarvis's Shoes!"

Prince Charming Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sounds like a great idea, I'm up for it. Crazy has a point - probably want some criteria for selection, like regular DCL posters or something. Similar to something I'd been doing initially as a joke, and then because I could - http://pandasaur.co.uk/gallery/v/Series/Panda/, and I have to say, it's fun. Really fun :). Going to be taking the panda to Bermuda at the end of March :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/744484-bear-travels/#findComment-590682470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
