IT could be anything, we don't even have to know what IT is. If someone decided to do a ride with IT and pass IT to another TE'er there ya' go, that's IT.

And IT might change over time, get moldy for example if IT is a block of cheese.

If the group would like to pick something from Archie McPhees I'd be honored to go buy it (within reason - keep it to something around $20 or less) and begin the passing around train!

how about a pair of these http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/Handerpants.html#a
or something like this could be fun http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/...Bottle.html#at (everyone who gets it could put a note inside - there's a bacon one too if bananas don't thrill you)
They of course do the standard rubber chicken and are the home of the Devil Ducky too.
A punching nun puppet is only $9.50

Thx for this wierd place...looks like a neat-o place to cycle by whenever we puff up and down the hills of Seattle.

We could always exchange bacon bandages: http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/Bacon-Bandages.html
Whatever we get it should be waterproof, very light, compact..

I'd participate *IF* my leg could be during the brief non-cold season here. I'm in Vermont, within reasonable long-ride distance of Canada or New York state.

I'll volunteer too for later when the warmer weather hits here again. Perhaps a link up with the New Englanders can be arranged. Being in Niagara County New York I could get it over the border to Canada, or bring it over to the US side. Could take some pics with the Falls as a backdrop!

I'm sure "it" would like to visit some Canadian soil- I would be delighted to meet someone at the border...and hope we don't have any cranky border guards......

Breaking news...insert dot dot dash dash sound..

The IT(plus a little bike) has left the store & is now at a crazycanuck's home. I'll to introduce " Maidei" & her way cool bike tomorrow with some pics.

For now though i'll tell you a bit more. Maidei was handmade in Zimbabwe by mothers with disabled children (www.batsirania.co.zw) & her bike from Madagascar. I (maidei) have a twin sister, Monica but she's in Zimbabwe with a child whose family member has HIV/AIDS.

I look forward to my world travels (the lady at the Oxfam shop loved the idea

).

**staceysue** · 10-30-2009, 11:56 PM

HIP HIP HOORAY!
Can't wait to see MAIDEI!

**crazycanuck** · 10-27-2009, 08:27 PM

AHA! I have an idear says the crazy one..

Sine MillieNZ

is departing the southern hemisphere for the northern one soon how about we try the following???
Warning..very long sentence as this is how i'm pondering the ideea....

I can pick someting up from down this way(can't forget madame trekhawak just down the road) & zip it over to the other ozzie chicks & then to Christchurch where the kiwi chicks will send it on up to MNZ before zooming up to the northern hemisphere...Then you kids all sign it then send it back to me where I take a pic & send it back up north..

I'm out of breath now as that took up a whole one speaking really quickly.

Is my crazycanuck thought too off?

It's a great idea, since I imagine that you're going into summer and probably have more rides going on at the moment = more opportunities to pass the thing along.

**Chickpea** · 10-27-2009, 10:44 PM

I'm also in Queensland Australia - if we started here in the south & need a way to get across I have a friend visiting Houston early next year??

**crazycanuck** · 10-27-2009, 11:58 PM

Ok, we could start this thingie in Perth then the ACT(where's jaydee& cyclegoddess), over & up to Qld for Pinkbikes n chickpea. I can cycle to Trekhawk's house

but not to QLD....

Hmm...I wonder what cool thing we could start off with...a cycling gnome
