Take Me With You Photos – Round 2

by Telling Dad on June 27, 2012

Another fantastic week of touristy and personal photo submissions! If you missed Round 1′s photos, you can view them here.

Now that I’ve finally completed the website for my design studio, I can get back to actually writing again. Can’t wait. In the meantime, here’s another set of photos submitted by the bestest readers a blogger could possibly ask for.

Oh! I had some some requests to make my Engine1Media fire helmet character available for the “Take Me With You” campaign, so here it is! Simply click on the version you want, cut me out, and snap away! Send your photos to the email address listed on the paper and you’ll be famous!

Well, maybe not famous, but you’ll at least garner a whole heap of karma.

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!

Alongside the great warrior chief, "Smuggles with Cheeks," somewhere in Oklahoma

Affixed to the wall of 1995's "Best Building" award winner. I was removed after a neighboring building complained that this building might now win twice.

It looks big on me now, but being 100% cotton, it'll fit a hamster by the second cycle.

I make a terrific co-pilot. So long as the windows are rolled up.

Me with some babes before "The Color Run"

Me with the same babes after our 5K.

Sure, when an all-out color war erupts, pick on the guy without hands.

When I die, can you all promise to litter my estate with graffiti?

Notice the subtle reminder to behave.
A warning other pieces of paper obviously ignored.

Annnnnd, more threats of perilous death.

Just look at that set of peppers.

Finally pictured with fossils that aren't my parents.

"Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!"

Look! A field full of dinner!

At least they had the courtesy to package me in my very own vomit bag.

Standing before the throne of the Lizard King and his henchmen.

The Lizard King took great offense to me turning my back to him.

First peppers, and now dangling berries? I'm sensing a phallic trend.

Proof that I can fit in a Smart Car!

Fifty Shades Belted

Chillin' with some distant relatives.

The beach bum.

Getting in touch with my feminine side.

If pharaohs had propeller hats, they'd have never lost control.

Seems odd to smile in front of such a macabre plaque, but I fault the illustrator.

The Cat Whisperer

The fortune you see pinned to the wall reads, "He who has paper friend is never alone."

A ninja, a paper doll, and a yoda walk into a car.
(Stop me if you've heard it.)

She was kind enough to fashion little paper ear plugs.

The Halifax Public Gardens in Canada. Surrounded by trees that will someday be converted to pulp to be converted to paper to be converted into more of ME.

Feelin' the hand-drawn love before the start of Brave.

Not exactly hiking attire, but look at that Arizonian view!

Also allowed? Safety Beanies.

Learning "Business English" in Cologne, Germany. Today we learned how to plead the Fifth.

Finally, a TSA agent with a sense of humor to match that of the sign maker.

The only thing that could make this better is a side of cranberry.

Thank you all so much! Keep ‘em coming! I want to travel the world and my goal is to hit all 50 states, at least 5 Canadian provinces, and all 7 continents!

Wanna help make it happen? Spread the word! Better yet, join in!

Vegetables make me sad.

Valerie June 27, 2012 at 10:14 pm

THAT’S IT!!! TIME TO KICK THIS INTO HIGH GEAR…

And by “high gear” I mean actually get off my lazy behind and print the pic out. Then take some pictures.

Oh, it’s on like Donkey Kong….

Hugs!

Definitely interested to see what you have in mind. I can tell you’re serious by how freely you dropped such intimidating phrases!

Lyssa June 27, 2012 at 11:02 pm

And my daughter thought it was just a plot to embarrass her in public by making her carry around a paper doll….. I am vindicated!! :)

I know right!!! I have to keep telling people “its a project” but thank God they don’t ask what. I guess in my hometown, strange is the norm.

Faith.The Blond. June 27, 2012 at 11:54 pm

Holy crap…I needed that laugh.

Greg, you will be please to know that you will be journeying with myself and my dog from North East Ohio BACK to Eastern Upstate NY. I will make sure to get pictures for you!!!

I just realized in the first picture, she gave you an actual propeller hat. More impressive, it’s hand made. I think that should get some bonus points!

Naila Moon June 28, 2012 at 2:51 pm

LOL-I will take those bonus points but I must confess, it just happened!

Melinda June 28, 2012 at 6:49 am

How cool you saw Metallica! My favorite is the lizard. Lol!! Intimidating.

LOVE IT! I’m going on a Disney Cruise to Hawaii in October and I plan to bring you along! Also, you should start a pinterest board for all of these awesome photos! It might help you go viral!

Telling Dad June 28, 2012 at 11:28 am

Pinterest code has been added, thank you for the great idea!

Just hover over the image and Pin this sucker for the world to see!

Lesley June 28, 2012 at 10:11 pm

HAZAA! I’m going to start a whole pin board JUST for you!

Thats my pin boards. YAY! So excited! Will it work for all of your pictures or just the ones of paper you?

Lyssa June 30, 2012 at 9:09 am

Hi Lesley! Wow on your Pinterest boards. :) SInce you asked, the Cleopatra exhibit is currently in Los Angeles til Dec. 31. It travels, but I don’t know where it’s going after that.

Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting June 28, 2012 at 12:14 pm

Oohoohooh you could be, like, my 8th kid!

I thought I already was?

Angel June 28, 2012 at 1:27 pm

You should have a map that shows which states/countries you’ve been to…that way we know which ones you still need to hit and can get you there!

Reply

Telling Dad June 28, 2012 at 3:04 pm

A most excellent idea! I’ll work on that tonight. I’m not busy enough. ;)

Naila Moon June 28, 2012 at 2:54 pm

I am glad you like all of the photos. Somehow though, you got lost among the baggage before we got to Las Vegas. I think though, I am going to solve that problem.
However, since you are answering your e-mail, I am not too worried. lol

I am going to make a whole board on Pinterest too for Telling Dad. That was/is a great idea!

Peace…

Woohoo! One of these days I’ll actually login to my Pinterest account and see what all the hype is about.

Tricia Nightowlmama June 29, 2012 at 12:03 am

Classic. I LOVE IT!!! Too bad I didn’t see this last week. We went to Navy Pier in Chicago.

Meg June 29, 2012 at 4:44 am

Truly enjoying the photos so far. I am hoping you (paper Greg) survive the end of July- planning a trip to Dorney Park & Wild Water Kingdom. I particularly favor the water rides. =P I may have to investigate the laminator at work…

Amanda June 29, 2012 at 7:19 am

These are great! I’m going on a cruise soon and you’re coming with me to Cozumel! Hope you have sunscreen! :)

The picture with the cat is adorable, whoever has that Tardis background on their computer is an awesome person.

These are getting better and better! Appreciate the reminder, I have to send you mine.

SOMEBODY went sailing and kayaking, braved several mad kitties, was observed at the most public toilet(s) in the U.S., and sang with Elvis this week!! I wonder who…..

Greg, this sounds like an awesome idea and I love the pics so far. Seems like “Flat Greg” is having fun all over the place.

Love the t-shirt and the pharoh hat!

Reply

Sheila July 2, 2012 at 4:23 pm

I’m loving this too. I’m still trying to find a way to send the Graceland gates pic. with the guard. I guess my little phone can’t handle sending that much pixs but where there’s a will there’s a way. Your captions are hilarious. Gotta run and finish work though.

Erika July 5, 2012 at 4:10 am
