"We've created a monster!"
--TRoss, Treasurer of the Six Week Project

As we all know, there is going to be a six week hiatus after the episode "Numbers" airs on March 2, 2005.* It was decided in a thread entitled "Six Week Hiatus!!!!!!!" (the link can be found below) that we would start a project constructing our own monster in the interim.

We need lots of employees to help with the project.* As Manager of the Six Week Project, I will assign all duties.* We're currently in need of some very big jobs.

If you're interested or have any questions, please post in this thread and we will decide the proper role for you or answer your question.* Also, feel free to PM me.

Here's the link to the thread that started it all:* http://www.thefuselage.com/threaded/index.php?topic=6587.0

Titles of the Employees (in no particular order):

Chesyre:* Assistant Manager of the Six Week Project
Tarrish:* Creative Director of the Six Week Project
XxNicholeexX:* Caterer of the Six Week Project
withay:* Head Seamstress of the Six Week Project
fanofangel:* PA to the Manager of the Six Week Project
JeremyBender:* PA to the Assistant Manager of the Six Week Project
chellekay:* Co-Head Seamstress of the Six Week Project
TRoss:* Treasurer of the Six Week Project
uk_girl:* Head of Human Resources for the Six Week Project
diabolo237:* Head of Fund Raising for the Six Week Project
peanutbutter101:* Historian of the Six Week Project
Hekawi: Secretary of the Six Week Project



If you would put your title in your sig, that would be lovely.

*pulls out her clipboard* *checks Mouth-Breather off the list* What. The. Bananas. Where are the rest of you guys!? What are you!? Incompetent!? >:(

I don't have alot of experience but I'm a quick learner. Could you use a hand?

theG
02-19-2005, 10:17 PM
Sure fanofangel! Join the project. Now, since you don't have a lot of experience I may have to give you some janitorial work. You know, wiping up glitter and whathaveyou. Let's talk about it. Mouth-Breather, do you have any imput?

Cheshyre
02-19-2005, 10:26 PM
Well, boss...fanofangel could be a gopher or a lackey or a trainee of some kind.

Or, like you said, a janitor.

theG
02-19-2005, 10:32 PM
I think fanofangel will be my Personal Assistant. Yes. Fanofangel, you are now PA to the Manage of the Six Week Project. As a U.D. minion, I trust you.

Mouth-Breather, you'll need a PA too.

fanofangel
02-19-2005, 10:34 PM
theG - I am honored, I will not let you down. Reporting for duty.

[crisp military salute] Reporting for duty!

I'm an administrative assistant in "real life" so I could do things like make coffee (nice and strong), answer phones, spend an hour at the photocopying machine etc. :)

Seriously, how will this work? Do we show up here during the hiatus on Wednesdays at 8:00pm? How to account for the different time zones--if it's 8:00 pm EST, I'm out because I'm on my way home from work at that point.

Sorry if this has been covered, I didn't feel like digging through 9 pages on the other thread.

theG
02-19-2005, 10:37 PM
It has not been covered. Thanks for the queries, Jeremy. It's nice to see someone who appears competent. If Mouth-Breather is okay with it, you may be her PA.

So far, we're just rounding everyone up. You should check the thread periodically. I'll PM you if we do decide on an official meeting time, but that seems unlikely.

Cheshyre
02-19-2005, 10:40 PM
My own minion! Rock! *Er, I mean, whatever you say, boss. *:angel:

Jeremy, you are now the PA to the Assistant Manager of the Six Week Project.

theG
02-19-2005, 11:17 PM
Tarrish has PMed me, and is now up for the possibilty of being the Creative Director of the Six Week Project.

fanofangel
02-19-2005, 11:25 PM
I just returned with Subway Sandwichs for everybody with chips and drinks of course. It looks like it could be a long night.

theG
02-19-2005, 11:26 PM
Wow, fanofangel. You're a superb PA :-*

theG
02-19-2005, 11:35 PM
Does anyone have any problems with me making Tarrish the Creative Director of the Six Week Project?

Cheshyre
02-19-2005, 11:41 PM
Not from me.

I just hope Tarrish knows what they're in for. ;D

theG
02-19-2005, 11:47 PM
Yes, that girl will be run ragged! I do NOT tolerate incompetence!

XxNicholeexX
02-19-2005, 11:53 PM
Ok calm down Manager, no need to go all banana crazy on us. ;)

Sorry it took me so long to get here, my Josh Gorban Live at the Greek DVD was calling my name.

So I think I'm going to need to know what everyone's favorite food and drinks are.

theG
02-19-2005, 11:55 PM
Yes. I suppose I don't have to go into Manager mode on you as you were busy with other fandoms.

Food: Spaghettios
Drink: Ice cold water

Cheshyre
02-19-2005, 11:58 PM
Food: Baked sweet potatoes
Drink: Cherry Coke

Juggling fandoms is not easy. I've been going back and forth between the 'lage and writing LAS fanfic for the past hour.

theG
02-20-2005, 12:00 AM
I've been posting on here instead of editing my Spike/Faith essay. I suppose I'll get around to it sometime...

XxNicholeexX
02-20-2005, 12:00 AM
Yes and Josh Groban is very important.

Odd, I was just eating spaghetti and also, with the way you went bananas on me about the tea earlier, I would have figured that would be your favorite drink and not water.

Oh and yes juggling fandoms is very hard, especially when I am a fan of many people/things. *sigh*

theG
02-20-2005, 12:01 AM
Actually, my PA (fanofangel) is on tea duty now.

XxNicholeexX
02-20-2005, 12:02 AM
Ooh, will your PA be making tea for everyone?

theG
02-20-2005, 12:04 AM
Nope, just me ;D

Perhaps if we get someone who wants to be an Assistant Caterer, he/she can make you tea.

Cheshyre
02-20-2005, 12:06 AM
I've got my own PA to make tea for me. *;D

Juggling fandoms gets hard when I look at my to-do post-it and realize I've got stuff to write for four different fandoms and wonder how the heck I got myself into this. Heh.

OVER HERE! PLEASE HELP ME, OVER HERE! ( climbs out from under a very large pile of fabric, thread, needles, beads, buttons, bells, paint and glue) I would like some tea, please. Extra lemon. I think I have enough fabric but I will need to order a truckload of fiber fill to stuff the monster with. And if we decide to go the bird route, I'll need feathers. Who is in charge of purchasing? Does anyone else know how to sew? :lol2:

theG
02-20-2005, 12:32 AM
Well, withay, let's see what Nicholee can whip up for you in the tea department. Currently, we're in need of more seamstresses/seamsters. We still haven't gotten a Treasurer (as they manage the budget, they will also order products), so I suppose we'll have to wait and see if we get one within a few days. If not, Mouth-Breather and I will get our PAs to do it.

withay
02-20-2005, 12:49 AM
Okie, Dokie.
Now for my really stupid question.....Where are instructions on how to put an avatar on my posts? I just don't understand. This is the first place I've ever "talked" to other people so I'm sort of a baby at all of this...

Cheshyre
02-20-2005, 12:54 AM
You go to your profile, which will give you the option to edit it. You can choose to use a provide avitar, link to your own, or upload your own.

Tarrish
02-20-2005, 02:58 AM
Hello everybody. I was out, but now I'm here. I have starbucks coffee to look more refined, and brought some grey fabric along.

Now, we're going for big, scary, and of course putting a small little island theme into this monster. I want people putting there blood, sweat, and tears in this monster. *mind you I have one of those lil french hats on*

If anybody wants any scones there in the corner by the scraps of metal.

Cheshyre
02-20-2005, 03:01 AM
An island theme, huh? Can it have a lei and a pineapple?

chellekay
02-20-2005, 03:05 AM
I can I help out with anything? I am a good helper!

Cheshyre
02-20-2005, 03:06 AM
chellekay...do you have any specific skills?

Tarrish
02-20-2005, 03:08 AM
Maybe the Lei can be on one of it's claws. *Then we could work parts of the pineapple for the top side of its head.

chellekay
02-20-2005, 03:14 AM

I can talk! I can do almost anything you want me to do!

TRoss
02-20-2005, 03:26 AM
Reporting for duty, Mr. Sassafras, sir! I used to work at a bank - would you like me to be the treasurer?


PS. Tarrish, love the hat!

withay
02-20-2005, 03:36 AM
So have we decided on gray for the monster or is that just what you have? I have to admit (hangs head and turns red with embarassment) that I am addicted to purchasing fabric because I might need it one day and it is on sale. I understand that the monthly storage fees have long since offset any savings but..... *::)Whatever color we decide to make this monster, rest assured, I have the fabric for it. I probably have fabric that is older than some of you! :lol2:
Oh!Oh! Oh! *My best friend and her daughters have been cutting the shoulder pads out of their clothes for years and giving them to me. I started out using them but their contributions have long since exceeded my use (and I do have that pack-rat problem ;D), but they would make great scales if they were covered!!!! Our monster has to have scales!
PS. Though I am a most excellent seamstress, I still do not understand how to get an avatar. The only ones I see available on the profile screen are not the Lostaways. How do I get one of the Lostaways from the avatars to my profile. I do well with specific step by step directions. Could someone PM me how to do that? pretty please, with a cherry on top?

theG
02-20-2005, 03:39 AM
What. The. Bananas. TRoss. *Did you just call me "Mr."? *That's "Ms. Sassafras" to you, young lady!

And, yes, you can be treasurer.

Tarrish, you have proven to be far from incompetent so far. *Good job. *Your hat is nifty times fifty.

chellekay, you can talk? *Well, that certainly doesn't make you sound competent. *Perhaps we can whip up a job for you...Anyone have any suggestions?

withay, all questions regarding the design of the monster should go to our Creative Director, Tarrish. She appears competent...so far.

chellekay
02-20-2005, 03:43 AM
chellekay...do you have any specific skills?


I can sew and cross stick, I am really good with crafts



(and cook, but you need that)

theG
02-20-2005, 03:45 AM
chellekay, you are now Co-Head Seamstress of the Six Week Project. Basically, this means you are not the Head Seamstress and you do whatever withay tells you to.

chellekay
02-20-2005, 03:46 AM
aye, aye

withay
02-20-2005, 03:49 AM
Ms. Tarrish, maam, Just tell me what it needs to look like.........I can make my own patterns or use one I already have and add or subtract features as needed. Are we going for life sized or not? *Sorry for all the questions, it's just that the planning *is half the battle... :smiling:

*giggles* I dunno. You're doing okay so far in my opinion.

withay
02-20-2005, 03:56 AM
Chellekay, does that stand for Michelle Kay? My best friend's name is Michelle Kay ( I know you are not her though because she cannot sew on a button!) , that's why I ask.
Could you start covering those shoulderpads with that gray fabric for scales, please? Tarrish has not given us design guidance, yet , but I feel safe starting on the scales.

TRoss
02-20-2005, 04:04 AM
How do I get one of the Lostaways from the avatars to my profile. I do well with specific step by step directions. Could someone PM me how to do that?* pretty please, with a cherry on top?


withay, I hope this works, let me know if you still have trouble:

Adding an avatar:

1. *Go to the gallery button at the top of this page. *When you click on it, it should say "Avatar Gallery". *

2. *You'll see several choices such as "couples" or specific character names. *Search through until you find one you like, then right click with your mouse and save it to your computer.

3. *Go to the profile button at the top of this page and click it. *Click on Forum Profile Information, and you should see a place for you to choose either 'I have my own pic' or 'I will upload my own picture'. *Choose 'I will upload my own picture'. *(If you've got an avatar on a webpage all by itself, for example in a photobucket, you can choose 'I have my own pic' and just put that web page in there.)

4. *Click on the browse button and search for the avatar you saved on your computer. *When you find it, click it to put it in the browser. *(This is the step I'm not totally sure about - it's been a while since I did it. *If it prompts you to upload your picture, there's another step I forgot!).

5. *Go down to the bottom of the Forum Profile Information page and click 'change profile'.

Let me know if it works!

Tarrish
02-20-2005, 05:41 AM
Well what we must ask ourselves is....

Does the monster look like any machinery?
Do you want it to look like a big lizard?
Real?* Imaginary?

I brought the gray fabric for the underlaying of the monster.* We work from there.* (drinks espresso)

XxNicholeexX
02-20-2005, 02:12 PM
withay, did you want herbal tea or what kind did you want? I need to know so that I make the correct kind.

Ms. Manager, is there something else that I can call you aside from Manager? I don't want to call you that all the time, and I certainly do not want to call you a letter since that will get my confused being that I have nicknamed a certain guy "Letters".

theG
02-20-2005, 02:20 PM
I suppose, since you'll be supplying me with Spaghettios, that you can call me Mally. Unless you're a Flan/Browncoat, in which case, you should call me Mal because that's always fun.

Cheshyre
02-20-2005, 04:40 PM
Tarrish...I've always thought the monster looked like a big cow. 'Cause nobody expects a cow to be menacing. But what do I know?

I was wondering, though, since there's a popular theory that the monster is actually a reflection of people's selves, if we couldn't some how incorporate that concept.

We could cover it in little mirrors to reflect peoples selves. That may be why no one seems to be able to see it.

Hmm. . . on second thought, that may make it look like a big disco ball. :o Tarrish, we need you!!


PS. I think our slogan should be "We've created a monster!!" ;)

theG
02-20-2005, 07:34 PM
TRoss, that's an excellent slogan!

withay
02-20-2005, 08:12 PM
TRoss, Thank you! It worked. I knew where everything was, I just couldn't figure out how to put it all together. Probably the fact that I was trying to do it very late and after my nightly dosage of pain medication* did not help. But I do believe Mr. Sawyer is now gracing my posts ;D Yummy!

I think putting little mirrors on it is a good idea. The only way it would look like a disco ball would be if it was round. Since it always seems to be in the jungle, camaflouge material with scales and mirrors. I live in South Georgia; there's lots of camaflouge available.
And not meaning to insult anyone but....... if the monster is a reflection of ourselves, I don't see it as being a cow or pink and purple plaid!?!?* :lol2:
XXNicoleexx, I would like sweet, iced tea with lemon. Or ice water if you don't have any iced tea. I forget that I am not working with southerners only ;D (not that that's a bad thing..)*

I'm actually a bit of a southerner too, well more so a south-westerner but still in the south. *hands withay sweetend ice tea with lemon and a little umbrella*

Cheshyre
02-20-2005, 10:39 PM
Boss...My niece is three and her birthday is the day before mine. We got an LOTR cake this year. ;D

TRoss...Maybe, instead of the disco ball look, it's just got like a mirror necklace or a mirror on it's belly or something. BTW...fantastic slogan.

withay...I think inside all of us, there is a pink/purple plaid cow. ;D

withay
02-20-2005, 11:21 PM
XxNicoleXx , Thank you so much for the tea. It really hit the spot. The umbrella was was a very nice touch. I'll save it for my niece.
Sorry I was gone for a while, the other niece neede to use the computer for a paper. But I used the time to make an islandish bracelet (or ring, depending on its size) for our monster.
Chessyre, I've looked and I just don't think there's a pink and purple cow in here.... :no2:

02-20-2005, 11:22 PM

You know, I have been feeling like something was missing in my life.... ::) I thought it was Sawyer, or maybe George Clooney but it might be my pink and purple plaid cow. Maybe they took it out by accident when I had my brain surgery :-\
Okay, if you think you could make me one, I'm open for it. It's not like there's anything else to do here in Cuthbert, Georgia. (I really miss Atlanta- but that's another story).
I know I don't have any pink and purple plaid material, do you? I do have thread and those roll around eyes (runs to sewing room to look for thread and eyes) and I know I have a cow pattern because my sister-in-law used to collect them (sits down to think where exactly that pattern might be) ::)

Oh, how did I not know this project was taking place?? Is there still a place for me? I don't do making tea very well, and I don't like taking orders, but I am very good at organising.

I also have feathers. I have cats, so there will always be a healthy supply of feathers in my house. I can ship them airmail if you like ;D

I do believe that a pink & purple plaid cow, with scales and mirrors sounds perfect. Truly...I have always imagined the monster to be that way, but with feathers too, you know, you gotta use feathers, and glitter...lots of glitter. Oh, and pretty earrings....and her hoofs have to be pink, hot pink. Oh and can she wear Gucci sunglasses, cos they are the coolest, and it's quite sunny on the island

02-21-2005, 09:24 AM
All creative issues need to be taken up with Tarrish. As manager, my job is to assign the jobs, point, scowl, and sometimes I give praise when praise is do ('cause I'm cool like that ;) )

Well, uk_girl, I think the only job I can think of for you is...janitorial work. I'm working on sprucing up the title.

Janitorial Organizer of the Six Week Project?

02-21-2005, 09:38 AM
Noooooooo, not cleaning. have a heart, I have children so I am always cleaning. It's not even as though I enjoy it either!

Surely there must be something more officey to do. Um, human resources, I could find us a contract cleaning company for the mess, listen to all the employees problems & complaints, be their union rep etc, make sure our creation was used ethically and not exploited for her novelty value? Or howsabout PR? I am very good at finding things too, just not so hot on the cleaning and tea making.

I've been soooo nice to you too, letting you be Lance's #1 fan and all that.....and you got to fly away with Sawyer and wouldn't even share >:(

uk_girl...Welcome to the team!

02-21-2005, 12:04 PM
Well can I split that with Human Resources work too, as I just lurve listening to other peoples problems, moans etc, it makes me feel so much better. *

Who is the creative person? *Do you want me to airmail the feathers? *(disclaimer - you may have to remove attached bits of yuck, as I am relying on my pussycats to supply said feathers)

Thank you so much for the welcome. ;D I promise to do my very best to ensure that our monster is the best looking and most popular monster on this block, and in pink and puple plaid how can it fail to be......

02-22-2005, 01:01 AM
As Head Seamstress, I must serve notice that all manner of "yuck" must be removed from the feathers prior to my allowing them in my studio. I have dogs and if there is any manner of "yuck" involved with the feathers, they will try to eat (or at least chew up) said feathers. Then they will probably have to go to the vet and I wil have to clean up after them and .... well, "yuck" on feathers will just not be satisfactory.
Thank you Cheshyre for checking your fabric stash for me. I will also be on the look out for the correct pink and purple fabric.
UK girl, I do not think the pink and purple cow was part of the proposed design for the monster but rather a description of our muse. Scales and mirrors is really all we had come up with so far. I had always sort of thought of the monster as as sort of a snake because we had been told it lived in the trees and yet it also seemed to be at home in the sea.

UK girl, I do not think the pink and purple cow was part of the proposed design for the monster but rather a description of our muse. Scales and mirrors is really all we had come up with so far. I had always sort of thought of the monster as as sort of a snake because we had been told it lived in the trees and yet it also seemed to be at home in the sea.


Kinda like Loch Ness without the Loch, huh? ;D I guess that explains where the bird theory came from I'd heard of. Birds like trees and birds like water.

So many posts, so little time.

I know many have fell in the love with the pink and purple cow, and I think we can put it into our project as a side accessory for the monster. What would a monster be without a purple/ pink victim cow? Every monster needs a victim.

On that note, I think we need to prepare for the teeth. Shiny sharp teeth would be wonderous. I can see it now. *puts down Red Bull* Can anybody weld here? We have to be careful with the sharpness of the monsters teeth. That can become a safety hazard. I must take that up with human resources. Maybe they can ship us in some badly needed safety equipment.

Thoughts?

With regards to the welding, I would have to check but I am sure that any and all welding practices would require the welder involved to have completed a safety course prior to any actual welding taking place. Maybe we could compromise with 6 inch builders nails hammered into a curved shape and painted silver or chrome coloured? As my father is a builder I have plenty of 6 inch nails....in fact he gave me a handful the other week, I still have no idea why ???

Ok then, now we're rocking. Who wants to be trained? I am in the process of finding out the health & safety requirements for welding, and the trainees will be required to read the manuals I post, and face a (very) short test. After passing the short test you will be cleared to perform all welding tasks as you wish (upon the purchase of suitable welding attire, I'm thinking some overall type things in a pretty colour, a hat of some description and a pair of goggles/sunglasses) ;D

Next year I have to take P.E. all year long, but I have the option of taking it during the summer in summer school.* My brother's girlfriend tells me that it's 3 1/2 weeks long and 3-4 hours a day.* If I take it during the summer there is the whole heat thing, but I would get another elective next year.* What do you think I should do?

This is even more stressful than finding out that almost all of my classes next year are honors classes!

If you can handle PE 3-4 hours a day, go for it. As I am lazy and actually slept in my PE class when I was in high school, I'd just take it during the year.

Of course, in my state PE is required all four years with no option for summer school outs, so this is all a foreign concept to me.

Okay, again off topic and I'm going to put on my *"older and wiser" hat, but, I think you should take as much PE as you are able to. *I also have on my "do as I say, not as I did" jacket....
The fact of the matter is that the more excercise you get, the better off you will be health-wise.
And it's something that is easier on you and better for you if done for a shorter time but daily rather than a lot for a few months and then none for a while. It will also help keep your energy up for those honors courses (congrats on those, I am proud of you).
By the way, my mother is off kilter also, though I do not think she ever married an Italian *;).
I missed the spaghetti, if there is any left, can I take some for lunch tomorrow?
I really like cats, i had one for 17.5 years but I am mucho allergic so I cannot have another. I now have 3 fish and 2 dogs. Lucy is a LabDalmation mix, black with white with black dots on her chest and toes. She weighs about 75 pounds but still thinks she is little; she allows my mother's chihuahua to chase her! Lucky is a beagle/hound mix. He and his littermates were abandoned by the side of the road in the country. My brother in law brought him home for my niece but she lost interest. For a while my sister and her family were sharing a house with me while theirs was being built. When they left, Lucky stayed with me. They are both very lucky. I have double fenced lot and they have the run of the house with furniture privileges. But they also are very well behaved. No "accidents" ,they don't tear up stuff, and thy are the best burgler alarms there are.

:lol2:* diabolo, you are quite the competent employee.* I may have to give you a raise.

We'll probably just steal the souls for ransom if we don't do enough soul-selling.

On a lighter note, I just bought ten cans of Spaghettios.* Life is good sometimes.

I would just like to remind everyone that we're getting closer to the beginning of the six weeks. It's time to start getting everything lined out so we'll be ready to go.

No pressure, though. It's not time to start panicking yet. I'll let you know when it is. *;D

Don't buy souls, we'll lose too much money. What if some how someone does sell us their soul, but then we try and sell it and no one buys it?

So now we can only post every 180 seconds? :(

diabolo, perhaps you could convince people you'd be using their souls as extras on the Lost set for the Whispers scenes. *Everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame. *::)



And in case that doesn't work, let me just leave you with this idea - everybody loves a good banana.

Ooh, I like that idea! We could approach the powers that be within Lost, and offer them our 'lost souls' for rental. I'm sure they would be invaluable during the 'whisper' scenes. Or maybe John Locke might be interested in purchasing them. For what, I have no idea, but he does have his own agenda, and said agenda might have a use for 'lost souls' Anyway, we buy them from people for the low low price of one (reasonable) wish, and then rent them out at a proportionate scale to what the 'others' are being paid on the show, and Bob's your uncle & Fanny's your aunt! If that fails, the banana thing has gotta be worth a try. I still have cakes that my son 'liberated' from the shop for us though, except that there are only 3 chocolate muffins now :whistling2: ok....so I was hungry...

I'm back!!!!!!!
I have been all over the world (the internet world, that is) looking for pink and purple plaid fabric, preferably fleece. And I have found ....(drum roll, please) NOTHING suitable. The print that Uk girl found was a very attractive plaid with the perfect blend of colors. Everything I have seen has been quite unattractive. First off, it usually has other colors mixed in.
The only idea I have is if our fearless leader could have one of her administrative assistants to contact that ebay seller to see if we can find out where the fabric was purchased. Any other ideas??

Ok, here is the new idea for how we can stay occupied for the next six weeks. We are going to have a bachelor/ette auction, someone new every day. We will post their name on a thread and anyone who would like to take part in the auction can visit that thread and put in a bid. The person with the highest bid at days end wins, well, the person they bid on! Its all for fun and it will give us something to do during the hiatus, at least something to log on each day for. I will post the results in a separate thread in case anyone wants a concise view of the tally. Now all I need are some voluteers to be auctioned off. I will go first, so in case there are any shy birds I willl take care of that. Anyone else interested please send me a message (to my mail) and I will give you your auction date and the thread link
Thanks for your help in advance
:devil:

Can I just ask what you would have to do for the person that wins you? :-\

diabolo237
02-28-2005, 02:43 PM
Well, since this is for charity and since we arent going to be collecting any real money, I would say, not much. But think of how much fun it would be!!!!!
Unless you could get someone to agree to do something within reason

uk_girl

Yup, sounds like a laugh to me. So, do you get to see who you are bidding on as in a photo, or are you bidding blind?

I'm confused. Are we still creating a monster? Are we still making pink and purple plaid cow muses? Did anyone ever answer me on having an administrative person try to track down the pink and purple plaid fleece?
TRoss, I came by yesterday and lurked for a while but (like you) did not see anyone around so I figured everyone except me was at the Oscars :(

TRoss
03-01-2005, 12:31 AM
I suppose the auction will serve as a revolving fund, bringing in monies as people are sold ( :o PC?) and fees collected.*

Tarrish has been fortunate enough to procure a real cow, so perhaps we should spend funds on pink and purple paint, rather than fleece.* Oddly enough, a real cow was easier to find.* Hmm . . .

Since we have a mere 6 weeks to complete our monster, have we hired someone to plan a schedule outlining specific completion dates for the various phases of the project?* And have we outlined the phases?* I need these for my financial projections.

*pauses, comes to realization she has no life . . . hangs head in self-pity*

Tarrish
03-01-2005, 07:15 AM
I know people....the cow was not hard to come up with. Thank god for farmers!

So what's going on with this auction? I'm a little confused. If people want to buy me I'm up for raising funds for the monster. *looks around* I'm as good as a brownie.

Sorry, withay! Perhaps you could sew the cow a pink and purple plaid jumper instead? She would probably like that better than the paint anyway. ;)

Don't forget, we still need to sew something for the monster, something FRIGHTENING . . . :o

All hail, uk_girl!

Important information, guys!

Today is the first day we must endure during the Six Week Hiatus. I have a plan:

I was thinking, since we all live in different places, that we should all try to make our own monster based off of the designs and whathaveyou in this thread. On the last day of the Hiatus, we should all come here to post pictures of our creations. Like the idea?

Cheshyre
03-03-2005, 06:10 PM
I could do that, G.

So what are the final plans for the monster? Is it finalized? Can we incorporate an aspect of "pissed off giraffe" to honor Hurley?

uk_girl
03-03-2005, 06:12 PM
:o Are you serious??? *I thought Withay was head seamstress, and now you go and move the goal posts and tell me that we all have to make our own! *I have no shoulderpads for scales, I have no anything......... :'( *My poor monster will be made of building supplies and wood as they are the only things I can acquire easily - how bloody scary is a pile of bricks and some cement?

........but having said that, I am totally into trying, and I can't wait to get started on my purple and pink plaid victim cow *;)

Cheshyre
03-03-2005, 06:16 PM

Pissed off giraffe sounds great to me.* I think we should add little touches for every character.* Ugly purple shoes for Shannon, the giraffe for Hurley, a boar for Sawyer, a bruise for Boone, and so on.

Good idea, Mouth-Breather.* Let's discuss.

There are ten of us.* First, we can all chose a lostaway, and then we can decide who wants the left over characters.

I would like Shannon.
