Hare Force One: sending a bunny around the globe!

[Lieutenant Fish]

YES. IT BEGINS. Do we get any photographs? Or maybe it's better if photos are only taken by a recipient, before they make modifications.

The group letter to Andrew should be on the back of a Back to the Future poster.

The group letter to Andrew should be on the back of a Con-Air poster.

Alter'd

Wait no, if it's on the back, which way would he hang it? Might as well write on the front, in a dark color.

EDIT: oh man. I totally missed that one.

[Avi]

dammit what do i have to do to make you believe me
fist bump my future self til i got bloody knuckles and write you an even sappier bday note in my own blood
on a back to the future poster

Oh wait, each bunny can go with a different movie poster. No conflict!

[Lieutenant Fish]

Problem solved.

[NoobOfLore]

Just putting in my thoughts here.

Not sure about all the rules, but I'll go ahead and say I fully support and approve of this endeavor. I'll help however I can, being generally unoccupied most of the time.
If you guys think it would be better for another person(me) to participate than not, then I'll go ahead, but otherwise I'll butt out and leave all the modifying to you guys.

Listening to Sunslammer on the new Homestuck album. Making me feel like a badass for no reason. I should probably not do a whole lot of stuff while listening to this music.

It's better to have one avid supporter than a dozen who aren't willing to give it their all. I think. I dunno, add yourself to the map, you might be in a key position or something.

[bidoof]

I won't be able to send mine until the 24th or 25th of this month (that's when I get my paycheck), sorry! I didn't expect us to be organized so fast. But, good news, my bunny was originally from build a bear and is about the same size as the others, so theoretically if the bunnies end up in the same place, they'd be able to switch detachable things like hats or clothing.
Here's a picture of the same model I found on e-bay that's better than my crappy webcam.

I assume I'll be sending to Kite first? Unless we're saving the Canadians until later, I think shipping from one country to another costs a little more than inside the US.

I am considering taking part because I am so close to dragonpaul, but I will have to see what is going on when it gets to Ohio.

Wait, where do you live?

Youngstown

I am willing to give it 2 of my alls, but part of this is not intruding if it would be a hinderance.
I'll go ahead and add myself to the map after probably making a Google account.

more than just a little. like a lot. lots and lots. at least $10 per pound of bunny and related stuff, and depending on how much it weighs it could cost lots more. this is ups of course why the hell would i use something shitty like canada post.

[Pozeal]

oh man. This is so awesome and is off the ground already?
I can't act as a part of the chain, but I look forward to pictures of these bunnies an would love to see videos of people CHAOS DUNKing them back into their boxes *HINT HINT*
this is mad crazy awesome.

[Kazerad]

Awesome coincidence ! At the very least none of them will be too vastly different from the others.

The group letter to Andrew should be on the back of a Back to the Future poster.

I'm personally feeling the initial idea of "bundle of letters" would work better for these purposes. Finding the posters would consume more time, and also limit the amount of space people have in which to write (and/or discourage people from writing too much). Also, given Andrew isn't yet confirmed as the end-recipient, it might be more appropriate to address the bulk of the "stay in the box" letter to "future bunny recipient" or something similar, since they'll be the one reading it most of the time anyway.

Speaking of boxes, hopefully a regular brown box will be good enough (to make a long story short, I critically failed at spraypaint usage). If someone can find a more accurate one to replace it, they are welcome (and encouraged!) to.

Still need some addresses to start off sending these boxes to, hopefully someone nearby in MD as well as someone out to the west so one can reach the West Coast as soon as possible. Any takers, or should I just pick someone and tell them to send me their address?

[RedMage]

Addressing the letter to "all bunny recipients" is overall better. It would theoretically include AH, along with everyone else!

[JacobXanth]

It's not too late to get in on this, right? Because if not, I'm totally in.

You need someone in Maryland, you say? If no one else comes forth then I am willing to be the first recipient of one. Let me know so I can PM you my address.

[Kite]

I wouldn't mind being first! Just send me a pm when you want my address.
I also wouldn't mind waiting with the other canadians so we can do a trans-canada trip later, I don't know how much that would cost vs. sending it accross the border? Winnipeg is so much farther than NY.
Meanwhile I'll check out UPS I guess, any other suggestions for alternative shipping companies?

[Lieutenant Fish]

Okay, we should be coming out of the Update Stupor any minute now, is it too late at night to start mailing stuff?

[pancakes=D]

i want in on this im in the US!

[Solaris]

Well, I think it is for bidoof and Kazerad.
I mean, I think its midnight there

[Kazerad]

Yeah, I'll have to send tomorrow. I can prep it tonight though, once I get the second recipient.

That would be great; PM away. When there are a bunch of people in the same area, the exact order it travels between them shouldn't matter too much, so you'll just have to arrange to send to either Zuki or Avi. Still need someone in the midwest to send the other to, though.

Speaking of! First rabbit pictures below!

The two bunnies peek out of their respective, slightly oversized, and sadly-not-color-coded boxes. This is probably the last time they will see each other for a very, very long time.
Is that an old Do-si-dos box in the background being used to store airbrush supplies?

Here he is holding a 12-inch ruler as best as I could get him to. He's not as accurate to the shorter-eared Con Air bunny as Bidoof's rabbit is, but probably won't even look like a rabbit for that long anyway.

He looks a bit sparkly in this lighting. There's no actual glitter or anything, that's just how his shiny, untarnished fur texture looks when a sharp light like the camera flash hits it. He is very new, I watched him get stuffed myself while explaining his bizarre fate to the horrified Build a Bear employee.

For people who aren't used to using inches/feet, here's a more universal measurement. He is pretty large, but that should make modifications a bit easier than if he were small.

I've only actually read one of those books.

[Gigoergong]

If you need the bunny map, it's in my sig.

I can add you if you need to be.

Edit: Best ninja.

[Lieutenant Fish]

Awesome, those are perfect. You should include a basic set of instructions with each package, so the recipient doesn't send their bunny on the wrong path. Or just denote the path's general direction when you communicate over PM, whatever works.

I loved the part about the horrified employee, that made my day.

[Dudemaster47]

When I inevitably get one, maybe I can get my mom to help me make it some new body parts or whatever.

Then it's totally getting my papercraft flail.

[aesirEsper]

Bunny pictures!

Fantastic!

Be sure to take pictures when you PUT THE BUNNIES BACK IN THE BOXES to mail 'em out!
