It seems to be that time again. I have three notes I would like to send on a journey around the world, and hope that we can get some hosts in Australasia to sign them also. I have 2005 and 2006 notes, and they really are fascinating.

Art has done a wonderful job of coordinating, however if he would like a break I would be happy to step in and coordinate this.

Lets get the ball rolling and step up to the plate.

Like a few more participants, particularly in Europe and Asia, so they go around the world instead of lingering in North America

This is my first short snorter. What do I need to give you?

count me interested

-Bobby

Im in this time......

in!

i'm in too!


the person in charge collects a banknote, (or any note), from each participating forum member and gets everything started. here's art's gallery of the first ever coinpeople short snorter: http://public.fotki.com/ArtO/coinpeople_short/

I, LeSnipe, wish to have participation.

Yeah LS you can participate, but San Miguel_98 and I want you to send us some Belgian brew first!

Wish to participate..it will be my first shortsnorter ..when r u'll planing to start..

Heck! I'm in. Add me to the Belgian Brew list too.

IN!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I'm in.

Now, what the heck am I supposed to do?

heheh...any kind of brew would do for me. i've been alcohol-free for 8 months!

i'd even settle for a zima.

When I worked for the Red Cross coordinating collecting donations for the troops overseas back in 2003 we could not send mouthwash for that very reason. It has alcohol, and I guess if you are desperate you will drink anything, including mouthwash.

You will have a tall icy brew on me when you get back.

lol @ mouthwash. we're allowed to use that now, thankfully, even though it should be mandatory for some people.

unfortunately, there are still enough desperate idiots around that are messing things up for everybody. here's the newest rule- cans of compressed air dusters in living quarters are considered contraband due to "huffing". i'd like to see them try to enforce it though...every other person seems to have a laptop, and dust is a very big problem out here!

here's the rules from last year's project.

http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?showtopic=6328

short snorters are sorta like highschool yearbooks on banknotes...the difference being you didn't have to mail your yearbook to 6-7 different countries over the span of 12 months.

I don't have any interesting notes to send off! maybe my mom will bring back a spare Riyal or two from Qatar next week... I can't count on that though...

I'm in.

I'm in as well.

Count me in, too. Now to find that right note for this.

I'm in too! When's it going to start?

Can't wait when are actually going to start...

I'm in

Me, too! Me, too! Now, to select a note...

Count me in!

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, I'm just wondering where the short snorter stands. Any dice on this one?

If Art will graciously pass on this task to the next person, I will take this on and have everybody send their notes to me to get this going.

Please go with it. Thanks.

See first post in this thread please

Okay. I think I found a note or two that Slavic Scott so generously sent me that I would like to circulate the globe. Who do I PM my address?

Hopefully my many movements over the next 6 months won't hinder anything.

At the end of the week I will close this down and PM my address to everybody. I will then put together the address list, sort it out, and get them sent out to the first recipient.

Status? Are you collecting notes yet?

I was hoping we would get more hosts, but I think we got what we're going to get, so I will work on this this weekend and have everybody send their notes to me and get this moving.

am I too late?

No, happy to have you aboard

Okay, I have the following in alpha order as participating:

I will accept further entries through 19:00 EST or 24:00 GMT on 20 May then the door shutters:)

BTW SM_98 I am not sure if you are participating, PLMK

I won't be back in the states until September, and won't be back home until maybe a month later. Postal service is about to get complicated for me, and I'm losing my internet connection in a month or two.

Looks like I'll be sitting this year out.

Oh, man. That totally stinks! Will it get complicated to receive anything? If not, maybe we can send you something from the board periodically to let you know we're thinking about you.

heheh...everything is related to our time here ending and going home, so it's a good thing!

i can receive mail for the next month and a half before our mailroom shuts down for good. then we start moving around too much for anything to find us before we pack up and leave again. i appreciate the gesture of sending me a little something, but scottishmoney already took very good care of me.

anymore generosity from board members, and i'd feel too guilty!

Send a note along to me or Dave and we'll put it into the mill for you. You can be left off the "signing" list but at least you'll have one for your collection.

Here is the final list, having closed this last night:

SM_98 can just send a note and we will send it around with the rest of them, and I can return it to the address of his choice then.

Just a note that June is going to be a very busy travel month for me - so really need to get these ASAP so I can get them off on their merry way back to y'alls.

How did I get dropped from the list? I sent my notes.

Lesnipe is at it again, stealing names from lists

That LeSnipe can be quite a handful!!

He never did send the Belgian brew or the Belgian ladies that were promised.

I think he's been hoarding both. He's sort-of Belgium's equivalent of James Bond.

Then he can keep the suds, but send the femmes et la chocolat belgique.

Oh my! Oh my! Were the chocolates for you? I can never read LeSnipes writing and my translating abilities are minimial. I thought they were for me.
