SUBSCRIBE VIA RSSYou all are amazing.
When I started the “Take Me With You” campaign (see sidebar if you’re clueless) I was hoping a few people would take part. But not only do I have promises and pledges of photos to come from NINE different countries, but many of you have already started to snap away with lil’ Paper Greg. From Baseball to Bigfoot to the Bloggess, you’re all representin’, and I love it.
What follows are the selections received this past week. I hope more and more get involved and I’ll be sure to update as the weeks go by. Thank you for playing along and encouraging all my nonsense. You make this whole Internet a damn fun place to be.
Share the fun! Big thanks to Leslie for suggesting I create a way for people to Pin these photos on Pinterest. To share with the world, just hover over an image and click the fancy new “Pin It” graphic. Pinterest will load in a new window.
Weeeeeeeeeee!
Chillin' on the back deck in Nova Scotia. They gave my character a spine so I'd stop floppin' around. It's about time I had a backbone.
Puny & The Beast
Gettin' my drink on at the brewery. If you drink your height in beer, everyone drinks for free. I...was a hero.
You know your readers care when they hook you up with flea and tick prevention.
Millenium Park in Chicago after the alien's spacecraft landed.
The World Naked Bike Ride. All kinds of naked babes on bikes streaking by and you couldn't turn around just ONCE?
Proof that I actually DO walk on water.
It looks all sweet and innocent until you realize I'm the napkin.
Maybe you know this already, but riding the skeletal remains of a cat wearing a sombrero is a tradition in Belgium. (I'm not certain, but I believe my character is asking for a crotch cushion).
Re-enactment of the Siegfried and Roy Tiger Attack.
With Mac the Moose in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
I must say, it was far more relaxing than my above visit to Tiger Jaw.
Her two favorite people. Then there's me in the foreground.
Unlike ogres, Paper Greg has only ONE layer.
Note: Ordering omelets for paper people is a gesture of both grace and insanity.
Two peckers in one shot!
I'd buy a house on this street purely for the comedic value.
Next time sprinkle me with catnip. The aftermath should be lovely.
Erectile Dysfunction was sold out.
You can't hear them but she's making growling noises as I stomp through the city. She was later escorted out by security.
Rib Fest.
Or, as it's referred to in the Bible, heaven.
Dancing the night away with the most self-confident woman in America.
Packed and ready for a trip! I'm told I've been taped to an ex-pizza box for durability, so I'm in love already.
All the places I HOPE to get photos from!
Standing in front of a Canada Snowbird aerobatic airplane. Would it have killed ya to shimmy up the pole for a cockpit shot?
Is it just me or is Big Bear flashing gang signs?
I think I could learn to like hiking if people would continue to carry me.
Nature's illusion.
No time for scissors when margaritas await.
In Canada, even the bears like their beer.
In other words, "Here's where all the nutjobs found themselves alone."
I'm pretty sure this will be Heather's favorite photo.
Enjoying the Pirates game while probably conducting research for the Lost Yer Matey Uniboob Bikini. Confused? See "Ta-Ta, Tata".
Frank Lloyd Wright's home. Not sure who the architect was but it looks pretty amazing.
If it didn't have Picasso's name attached you'd NEVER know it was a horse. Admit it. That dude was wack.
And…last but not least…
Jealous?
Keep ‘em coming, I am absolutely LOVING this!

You should have been at Niagara Falls this past week, except for the whole “lost passport” fiasco. Get ready cause we’ll all be heading there next weekend.
If you can tightrope, you don’t need passports to visit the Falls.
Great photos. I love this project.
I’m gonna love being a part of yours!
Fantastic! You get around. Thinking I’ll have to print you out, cut you up (I’ll be gentle) & let you loose in Australia. Probably won’t be getting to Sydney or Queensland any time soon unfortunately, hopefully our nation’s capital, Canberra, will suffice? I’m sure I could find a government building or a politician or two.
Australia would be awesome! You’ll get 1 million bonus points if you snap a shot of me in a kangaroo’s pouch.
Challenge accepted. Ooooh, getting dizzy wondering what I will do with all my bonus points.
wow that’s as cool as getting simon pegg to hold twine… i miss out on all the cool stuff you do! i enjoyed the pictures!
You aren’t missing out…this photo dealio is going on all summer and into the fall. Break out the camera!
I’m so glad this is going on for a while! I haven’t had a chance to participate yet but I so want to, so that’s great! I love the photo submissions so far, and yes totally jealous of the last one!
So fun! I don’t know why, but I got really caught up in looking at the cutting techniques of each person. And then I thought that it was interesting that no one modified your clothes or style. Just wait until I get my hands on you!
That last sentence reminds me of college.
Unfortunately, it was my roommate.
i laughed. i laughed hard!
i must get you laminated for our trip to the lake…hope you can swim =o)
Well, if anything, I can guarantee you I’ll float.
Um. I’m having some social anxiety and don’t get out much. But I can take you to bed with me. Ooooh, or to therapy, thats fun.
I’m scheduled to spend a week in Houston in July, though, so you and I can both drop some water weight.
Amazing first set of photos! And the last one? Priceless!! Still can’t believe I met her and couldn’t muster up any words to say at all. >.< Talk about the most tongue tied moment for me. *sigh*
Dang it, I don’t come and visit for a few weeks and you take off around the world.
I’m with PippaD – I missed the initial post somehow! Guess it’s time for another trip to the St Louis Arch, I’ve been looking for an excuse!
This is absolutely hysterical. I’m impressed that paper Greg was able to see the Bloggess’ blog and then go find a book signing all on his own. Guys’s got some brains even though his head looks rather flat.
THIS week you’re going on a sailing and kayaking trip for the week. So that you don’t drown, I’m adding a kayak paddle and lifejacket to your closet…
You sure do get around! Funny though, you are also on vacation with me. Photos coming shortly if I can find that address to upload them to.

So far, Propeller Greg is out-travelling Hatless Greg. I shall try to remedy that on my ventures. The decorating comments have started ideas percolating… maybe that could be it’s own mini-event “50 Ways to Decorate Greg”.
wow you’re really getting around!
Dang! What is Paper Greg doing with all his frequent flyer miles? Cause if he isn’t going to use them or anything….
A great way to start my day! SUCH fun pics.
A screen shot of the Bloggess and Jenny IRL – *very* cool.
Omg that’s so awesome. I have to find a great place to take you. The captions as usual are hysterical!! Happy Father’s Day to you!! Hope you are being spoiled in your non Flat Telling Dad life.
Hmmm, I had planned on taking you to the British Isles with me. Now I’m also considering dressing paper Greg in a kilt. How bout a fancy hat for London? Wonder if I can get him over the wall to kiss the Blarney Stone? (Especially as I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do it myself).
*off to find ways to dress paper Greg for appropriate outfits*
We all seriously need to make printable doll clothes for Greg and put them up for each other to print out as needed.
I forgot to print you out to take you with us to our first trip to the Smoky Mountains this past weekend. I’ll try to remember to print out you and take you to Atlantic City with us next weekend – do you like heavy metal music? We’re going to see Metallica! I’ll pack you a set of ear plugs.
WOW!!!! I feel like I need to plan some special kick-butt vacation just to compete with these!!!
I’m gonna go find my husband’s credit card info…
Hugs!
Valerie
Just noticed that one of the places on your list is Delhi (okay, not on the list exactly but in the picture) and considering that I already stay here…consider it done!
- long time reader/ first time commenter
Hi! Are you from Delhi?
I was thinking of asking my Mom to get some pics from Southern India…
My wallet has informed me that I’m not going anywhere awesome this summer, but I can get you in a photo with my guinea pigs in the back yard, take you to the beach, and possibly make a trek to the Desert of Maine…woo!
I am seriously jealous that you hung out with the Bloggess. what did you talk about? I bet it was paper collation, wasn’t it?
I’m a big fan of Flat Stanley, but I gotta say that your version is much more entertaining with the added commentary. One time I took my daughter’s stuffed bunny, Mr. Pink, with me on a business trip to do Flat-Stanley-esque photos. Mr. Pink is flat-ish and is a good traveler so I thought it would be fun. My trip was to Athens, so naturally I had to get lots and lots of photos of Mr. Pink posing in front of the Acropolis. It was all going so well until the Greek security came running after me, shouting at me, in Greek. They grabbed my camera and insisted that I delete all pictures of Mr. Pink at this (clearly highly protected) site. Don’t worry, though. I managed to snap a few contraband shots on the way out.
I LOVE IT!!! That tiger was so loving chomping on you, lol. I haven’t snapped any more pictures because I was trying to figure out how to keep you from flopping around too so your peeps have given me some ideas. I need to enlarge you for one thing cuz you ain’t big enough. Like you said, you looked like a parasite in one of my photos, haha. I’m going to get one of you on the gates of Graceland I hope one day soon.
OMG!! I love this; I am just upset that I am not going any where ‘fun’ this summer. Although, I do travel to exotic places like Carrizo Springs, TX and Duncan, OK for work.. Mmm, Greg on an oil rig in coveralls and a hard hat…
That is waaayyy to freaky !! My bestest buddy lives in Duncan OK. She just moved back after being gone for 15 years~~~
Awe, I kinda feel sorry for her. Duncan? Does she work for Halliburton?
We should have taken you to Sedona with us, and the Grand Canyon. You would have made a perfect kite to see the sites. Since neither you nor I like heights, at least you could have looked over the railings. I stayed at least 15 feet away from the railing. But you would have had the best view. Love ya, Mom
This is an awesome idea!
And we are in the process of moving so I can take you so many places along the way, including our arrival in Boulder, which is basically a utopia. ; ) Pictures will be forthcoming. You can even help us pack!
So, i bit the bullet, and i am going to kanoe in sweden. You are going to sweden with me, so prepare to get wet!
These are so fun (and funny)…I wish I had sent you to Germany with my daughter!
I never even saw this post until today, and one of my pics is there. We kind of forgot to take you to the Boston Children’s Museum last weekend… but this weekend we’re headed to the Museum of Science. Maybe we can get you zapped in their lightning room! Too bad we aren’t going ANYWHERE outside New England.
