I'm thinking if we DID do something, it should be something ridiculous and gladiator themed. Why? Because of this (and because Laura mentioned it):

I'd be more than happy to put something together again. I just wanted to know if you all thought it'd be too much of a good thing, what the interest really was, etc.
Let me know!
OK, I'll bite. What did you do last year? And, more importantly, how can I help?

ReplyDeleteYou can see the last year's project here :D
@ BCK
Great idea, as usual :D Give us more information!
1) I have my grandpa's sword in the closet.
ReplyDelete2) I can and WILL make a papier mache gladiator helmet should you go forward with this plan.
3) I can't imagine Nick would mind receiving a ridiculous collaborative gift every year. He'll know he's loved. By us weirdos.
:D
Oh god, ok, obviously Eric is going to be like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo! NOT THE MUSTACHE!" but hey, this year...gladiators? It'd be the usual...dress/photoshop self as gladiator with birthday wishes, write a stupid gladiator poem/story/etc., you know. Basically, a fan birthday card/book/what-have-you, with a really strange gladiator theme throughout. I think last year we started submissions mid-July, which worked out quite nicely. OMG, LAURA, whoa...yes to the gladiator helmet!!!! I want to make one too...dear god. I was thinking I would just 'shop stuff in if we decide to go through with it. Hmm...yeeeeeees. Is a viking helmet (the kind that stupid FLAAAVOR FLAAAAAV wears with the two horns) too far off the mark? Hmm, seems appropriate enough.
ReplyDeleteOH, the possibilities. I know NOTHING about gladiators and the gladiator lifestyle...may have to do some research to get ideas as to what the possible project could entail.
