 Thoughts.com TEDDY Mascot
Hey everyone, Would you like to join in??? Please say YES ....  I have got a crazy idea that might just work .. but I'll need all of you to play along with me.  You know how many of us, I included would like to travel around the world and do a THOUGHTS.com tour?  You know visit Canada, Ireland, UK, USA, THAILAND, New Zealand etc etc oh and including other parts of Australia etc etc..??

Well I can't afford to do that myself at this point in time, but I was wondering if you'd all like to play a game of pass the THOUGHTS.com TEDDY?

This may be a crazy wacky idea but here is my proposal.

I purchase a Teddy Bear - whether it be a beanie kid or another type of bear.  Then I post him to one of you folks. 

When Teddy arrives with you, you take your picture with him somewhere in your town (without your face if you like). 

You also purchase some sort of memorabilia, like a cheap badge or maybe just a sticker or something representing your little corner of the world.  Or you write a short paragraph or letter that Teddy can then keep in a little bag that he can travel in.

And then once you've had your fun with him, you post him onto the next willing person who does the same.

** Bonus points I'm sure would be given by ROE if you can get our THOUGHTS.COM Teddy into a local magazine or TV show promoting thoughts for her.

What do you think?

This is just an idea that popped into my head as I snuggled in my bed with a warm wheat bag.

Do you think it would be fun? Or a stupid pain in the butt?

I mean we'd only need to give one person our address (if that is a problem for some) and after I get TEDDY back I could donate him to THOUGHTS.com  as a token of our appreciation to BEN for creating such a great community for us....

Anyone interested??

Got any More Ideas??

How good would it be to see our little Mascot travelling around the world via our THOUGHTS community.   Of course you would have to do at least one blog about him - with photos whilst he is staying with you. And you have to promise not to keep him - although I think he will be adorable.

Hands up if you think this might work.


**** HERE HE IS ... IN DISGUISE
OH and he'd have to start in Oz since we are "apparently" on the bottom of the world!!!

Posted by  TimothyStevenDowns  on 2009-04-28 06:46:37 
  
that's a GREAT idea... i love it :)

We could all buy a cheap keyring to add to a link or something.... to show where it's been...

I'd participate. *thumbs up*

TSD - Fantastic!!! :)
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-28 06:48:33 
  
Amy - excellent!! :)
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-28 06:49:06 
  
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhhh, I'm in!

What about the fabric teddies you can write on, then everyone could forever leave a short message? But he may be a little big and expensive to post though :(

Sounds good fun though! xo :)
Posted by  Kaybee  on 2009-04-28 06:54:35 
  
Kaybs thought you'd like this, but do you think you'll be able to let him go?? He will be very cute!!! ;) can see our too Miss' wanting to keep him! ;) lol... Yes Mr Fabric teddy might be too big and run out of room too.. :)
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-28 06:56:25 
  
As long as Another Dead Hero doesn’t decapitate him or something equally sadistic.

*kidding
Posted by  TimothyStevenDowns  on 2009-04-28 07:01:31 
  
Yeah, and then there's the issue of the fabric one getting dirty, what if it gets wet, ink will run, etc etc.. might just be safer sticking with a nice teddy
Posted by  hearxmexrawrr  on 2009-04-28 07:01:34 
  
lol... actually ADH has a Kangaroo & a Koala from Oz, so they can have a tea party .. not!! Maybe he'd better not name the teddy since the Koala is called Captain Bad arse! :)
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-28 07:03:21 
  
Amy - yes maybe a nice brown one or a Beanie kid ... I'll wait and see if we get all over the world support then I'll go find a nice cool THOUGHTS.COM Teddy!! ;) We might have to make him a THOUGHTS.COM T-shirt to wear ... lol
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-28 07:04:27 
  
Well, you got a South African Participant
Posted by  TimothyStevenDowns  on 2009-04-28 07:06:19 
  
Absolutely!! .. would that be you?? ;)
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-28 07:08:23 
  
Yes that would be me indeed.
Posted by  TimothyStevenDowns  on 2009-04-28 07:10:57 
  
lol.. excellent. I was just having a bit of fun with you.. :)
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-28 07:11:41 
  
I thought as much, but didn’t want to be rude. It’s really easy to pick up sarcasm in the 'comment' format.

Posted by  TimothyStevenDowns  on 2009-04-28 07:16:54

Moxi - fantastic!!! There are a few of you in Canada that I hope will play Pass the Teddy :)

If thats the best idea you can come up for transporting drugs around the planet - well....lol Puck ( You know your wish is my command - with love)
Posted by  puck  on 2009-04-28 07:29:32 
  
Ok as long as we do not need to fly the teddy close to the Statue of Liberty to get the picture.(If you do not get that joke Google NYC and plane and you might)
But seriously sign me up
Posted by  whiteknight  on 2009-04-28 07:32:01 
  
Hey Puckster I'd much rather transport me around the planet! lol... actually i was hoping to send some chocolate rabbits too ... is that illegal? hehee xx

Great idea Kellie.. I am in. Just make sure we include the instructions in the bag for people like me. I would be dependable, but hmm should we add another bear or should it stay just one?
Posted by  michelle8angels  on 2009-04-28 14:11:41 
  
Id join in but im broke, and no-one would send it to me.

Plus im not active enough to find anyone that wants him off me.

sorry :(
Posted by  eeerm  on 2009-04-28 17:34:35 
  
get 'er rolling and roll it by me...
Posted by  pastormike  on 2009-04-28 19:52:49 
  
my hand is sooooo up
Posted by  Elean  on 2009-04-28 19:54:16 
  
Count me in! Maybe send him with a sticker book so we can put stickers or a small note in it. I think we should have a time limit of say 4 days to get the pic and send it to the next person. Who will maintain the list so the person that has teddy know who to contact next to get the address to send him along to the next person? btw Great Idea!
Posted by  Louisj  on 2009-04-28 23:36:25 
  

I hate bandwagoning.

But I'm reforming so it's part of my new regiment to agree with an idea that actually has merit.

Congratulations. I pick your idea
Posted by  19butterfly91  on 2009-04-28 23:48:50 
  
19butterfly91 - Fantastic - don't look at it like bandwagoning, look at it like adopting a teddy bear for a short while and then passing him on to another person who happens to blog at the same place as you do :)
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-29 02:02:12 
  
Louis - Great idea ... a note book or something not to heavy is a more economic way to keep postage weight (costs) to a minimum.. and the photo would go on the blog somewhere right? What we should probably do with this is move the details into a FORUM page(?) where it wont expire and disappear into the blog funnel! :)
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-29 02:03:48 
  
Elean - You're in ! :) Thanks
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-29 02:04:18

Paperlily - fantastic!!! lol.... I can see more men reading our blogs about "our teddy"!!!!! lol ;)
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-04-29 02:33:55 
  
GREAT IDEA,Hon! Just be sure he's under 6'ft.tall,and he can't fly first class.I don't know for sure,but the postage may be a little much for some,but I'm sure all for it.
Posted by  cabinfever  on 2009-04-29 03:05:12 
  
Truckdrivers years ago when I was driving,would take a young cancer victim's teddy bear,and pass it along at truckstops to another driver.They were to mail a postcard from where they took him,to the young person.It would make that child want to see tommorow,and their treatments that much more bearable.
Posted by  cabinfever  on 2009-04-29 03:17:54 
  
I am in too

If you need help getting this on the road, let me know.

I would also love to be a part of the T.com teddy journey. Though, I'm not sure about the address thing...maybe that could be worked out with a few people here I would trust with my address. A great idea, Easy! - Love, Bia.xxx

and sexy too - did I mention that ?

Count me in, fun idea!
Posted by  circe  on 2009-04-30 13:11:43 
  
Sounds like a wonderful idea. I'm in from Florida!!!
Posted by  blondeegrl  on 2009-04-30 17:32:58 
  
Well, aren't I just a bunch of sour grapes now;/ I have to confess I am OUT of this idea. I think it sounds great on the outset, but QotD was pretty gung ho from the start too...and had it's slips and bounds. I just don't see the big deal. And, those who come to be more anonymous--ehem--would basically be sticking themselves out like a sore thumb. I'd rather get in touch with those whom I really care to and exchange cultural items that way.

In a way, the idea might be better if it were more like a simple Thoughts suitcase or something...ya know. How the old hard luggage bags get all those tags on them from world travel. But, when you have a bunch of people from one area(like you and Kaybee and KP are practically neighbors)...it seems kinda lame to have 3 Aussie trinkets and passes. I dunno. There's only so many places it can go. I guess if people kept their contributions more personal like an autograph, it might be more special. OOH! What about something like a baseball?:P The baseball that went around the world.

So, sorry to say, I'm out.

But, if you ever wanna do the Christmas card exchange... Or, next time, I may join in the Secret Santa bit.

Yerr right, :) One would be less complicated. Can not wait to see where this goes. It will be fun.
