IT'S READY! the 2010 BuffettNews BN Critters Calendar

Post by surfpirate »

A 2010 BuffettNews BN Critters Calendar?

Any interest?

Here's my idea. A 12 month 2010 calendar with a BN Critters' theme ..... a comic strip per month and various other BN Critters images and quotes scattered about.

And (this is the cool part), for anyone interested, I could place your avatar and/or character (if you are already a *stripper* that is), screen name and birthday on the calendar. If you are not (yet) a stripper , well, your avatar/screen name could still be put on the calendar for your birthday.

Other *Buffetty Dates* would also be put on the calendar.... for those dates already known, e.g. MOTM, the New England Parrothead Convention ... whatever else you guys can tell me about. Perhaps a few well known *Buffett Dates in History* (Jamaica Mistaka perhaps?). Whatever.

And, with your permission, I may scatter about a few BN quotes here and there. A *best of* responses to various BN Critters strips over the year.

Thoughts? Here's a (very) quick mock example of what it might look like (I did this in about 30 minutes … give me another week and I’ll have it looking *much spiffier*). We’d have to scramble a bit. I figure I’d need to have the dates pulled together by Friday, December 17th. I’d have the calendar ready for purchase (probably less than $20) on that date, perhaps in time to order by Crittermas and definitely in time to have delivered by the New Year. I'd price as low as Zazzle will let me.

A BuffettNews / BN Critters calendar. Never forget your favorite BNer’s special day.

Thoughts? I do sometimes get stupidly carried away.

Cool. Post in this thread with your birthday and permission to use your avatar or character on the calendar. That'll be a LOT easier than me trying weed through PMs.

Also if you can help spread the word .... I figure we have only one week from today to get the dates pulled together. Perhaps some of you can peruse the *timeline* calendar here at BuffettNews and suggest some dates as well.

If space is at a premium, you could use the little smiley that is always at the bottom of my posts instead: Image


Here's another idea: As well as including avatars/characters on their birthdays, perhaps you could maybe give a special shout-out to Strippers by including information as to the date they made their first appearance in BN Critters (a listing of Strippers on a separate page?) — I'll leave you to work out whether this is feasible, and if so, the best way to do it.

I would be interested. I'll include my info shortly.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

you have my stripper image. Just as long as this isn't one of those "racy" calenders where I need to take off some of my clothing....

Great idea, I'm in for one. And you can use whatever you want - avatar (although I think the picture in my sig line is better), any of my BN Critters personas - you're the creative one, not me. :lol:

My birthday is 4/15 (I should have been an accountant instead of a lawyer).

Yes. I need you to spread the word throughout the BN community. We've got one (1) week to pull this together.

Nope .... no *pre-order* needed. These will become an item available for ordering at the BN Critters Surf Shop next week when I pull this together. Calendars can be ordered there 1 or more at a time. Neat, simple, easy.
