P.S. I already have a basic register that I'll print out and send out with Stubbs to the next trustee. It has the 50 states listed. Below each state's name there are 2 blanks to be filled by those who receive it before sending on. One for where each guy enters their names/handles, location of activity and date. The second blank is for when the same state is hit twice. There's room for a third, I think, if need be but I've only numbered 1 and 2 for travel and player data. There are a few words on instructions. Ones that no doubt some of you savage half-apes will ignore and completely botch, but I'm OK with that.  Not sure how we play who gets the baton next. I'd lean towards having whomever is in possession make that call. Once you've had the thing and played with it, you get crossed off the 'send it to me' list. It could get messy if there's a set list, as people have unexpected things happen and if the chain gets broken and Stubbs ends up stuck it'll be game over for everyone. I figure I'll start an 'Official Stubbs US Grand Tour' thread when I send it off the first time and folks can post up there with their subsequent Stubbs shots and figure out who they're going to send it to next, but not be forced to have anyone else know. It might be fun not knowing where the next pics are coming from, and from whom... Thoughts welcome.

We don't have to learn hiragana or kanji or some such I hope? I still have problems with the future pluperfect in Spanish, learning Japanese is probably not feasible at this point in time. RE: smelt. I expect pics in the food forum of those delicious little swimming critters properly prepared for the plate!

I can do NM if one of the more seasoned and gentlemanly members of our esteemed state don't want to do it. They got rank and class that I lack.

What if Stumpy don't leave?  As long as it's not sent to your buddy GG, I don't anticipate there being any issues with trusting the men here--even ones who don't necessarily know each other-- to be able to play a game and resist the temptation to somehow profit through deceit and theft.

SockPuppet, we still have our place in NM but now live over in AZ - you will do it well for NM if you want it.
Lot of good Campfire guys here in the SW - most of them in AZ - so Stumpy would be hosted and handled well here. Probably better if someone in a more metro area did it in AZ, but I sure will if needed.

Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

Not trying to be mean spirited here, honestly, but are you sure that your friend would appreciate your taking part? Not sure you're seeing the big picture here... Unless you're acting as an agent to kill our fun. "There I was, ready to snap a pic of Stubbs and a nice walleye, when I slipped and Stubbs went over the rail into 60' of water...' After this whole thing I'm all suspicious of everyone and everything, day and night. It's terrible. "Hey, cute and sweet little puppy you got there, lady! Wait, is this damned thing wearing a wire under its collar?"

One on hand you are pledging prayers , support and devotion to your ‘friend’ and then on the other, you are willing to participate in hosting Stubby, the product of an act of betrayed trust and misdirection of donated items kept for oneself. Are you in or out?
