A new game... The International T-Shirt of Mystery

Ok, I've got a plan for a new game. Admittedly I wanted to get this done a looooong time ago, BUT...


I have a fforde-con t-shirt that I would like to start a properly international game with.

IE, I want you all to sign it!

Naturally I have the Double-Consonantly-One's sig already, but I don't have yours!

What I want to do is start a rather silly meme thing that involves me passing on the shirt to one person, who passes it to the next etc, with the idea that when I get it back (gods willing) I can display it proudly at the next geek-a-thon I go to.


Sooooo..... Up for it?

If you want a two-for-one, both mrs. SkidMarks and I can sign it for you..

May I suggest that you include a map so that each journey can be marked on it?

Sounds like fun!

OOOH! and if (what am I saying? Of COURSE I'll have to post it) it has to get posted anywhere, peeps could stuff the stamps in the envelopes and I could glue them onto it too... Been looking for an excuse to get the glue gun out...

We've done it with a postcard in the past (Wonder where that ended up) but a T-shirt sounds great - memememe!!!

I like it! Definitely include a map or something, so you can see where it's been. And as long as we keep track here on the fforum, hopefully it will get back to you safe and sound!

Postie's travels were recorded here and
here. I seem to remember that Flo remarked somewhere else that it had really returned to her.

BTW, is it only a coincidence that Kitten was the last to post on that thread?

Both, unless you specifically want to only use one. Just make sure there's plenty of room for everyone else's sigs :)

Has the shirt sent you a postcard from anywhere, yet, BK?

Has it had to delay its departure?

We could arrange to display the T-shirt prominently at the Fforde Ffiesta next Spring if someone could get it to us in time - hopefully a whole host of Fforumites will be there and I'm happy to encourage people to sign it if you like?
