Joined: December 2003 Posts: 13983 Location: Upper Left USA | I received these today! Two of the likely four "Books" that are in circulation with the OFC. My goal is to post a photographic record of each of these for all to enjoy and to keep the momentum going. The Books Album I believe these books were sent into circulation starting in 2007 and that there are two others that have been going since 2003. I started one of those and it had a route sheet attached to the inside cover. I also believe that it received a good drenching while sitting at a doorstep waiting to be noticed by the recipient. I would like to see those put back in circulation and receive them to record the story they tell. I wish to make a couple of assumptions and set some guidelines on these books. I feel empowered to do so for the following reasons: 1) I have some level of seniority here having signed on in 2003 and I have started one of the books myself. 2) My post count proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that I truly need a life and purpose... such as this one. 3) I am an obsessive SoB and will pursue the task of documenting and circulating these treasures (that get little respect from the Non-O Fans). 4) I thought of it first. Having self qualified myself I offer up these guidelines: A - Books need to move. Take them to wonderful places and take their picture. Then pass them on. B - Books need to be available at OFC Gatherings. C - Trinkets should be of little monetary but significant personal value. D - To take a trinket you must leave a trinket. E - Keep the "Books" Family friendly. I will label one of the books "Meuti" for his brilliant idea of putting the Book in a padded cover and for it's European flavor. The other Book I will label "Ozzie" as it has gone downunder and back. Please forward any of your Book Shot's to me and I will place them in the appropriate album on the ning site. | ||

Actually... not IN circulation... likely set aside, buried, in the "oh, yah" pile with someone. PRESIDENT? What did I do wrong? :eek: | ||

I think I signed the one with water damage, but it was so long ago the only thing I'm sure about was that it was a book of some sort, right? | ||
