Why don't we just create a new traveling stopper and send it on its way.

This was so much easier when it was just Flat Stanley.

We should get something like this instead. Then maybe he can write the trip reports, too. I'm pretty sure this one is Bird Closure Violatorman

I wonder where that's on sale. The writing is Arabic.

Even better! Buy one of these (if they are still available) and post up a TR about that.

Hey, if Austin gets it moving again can he send it my way to Maine?

The "heavy" must have gone a little too tough on Austin then if he's had it since thanksgiving. Must have sent him straight to the hospital for an extended stay.

woah. BOTS is serious business I see.

Glad to see my questions about the stopper the other night prompted some more traffic on the stopper. I'm happy to take the next shift on the stopper and promise to return it sooner than the last. It's being treated like a library book right now... joking...mostly. And it was good to meet you last night Tony.

The traveling stopper was the new traveling Biner. Does that answer your question?
I wasted a perfectly good peice of pro and $2 shipping it to people and what did I get for that. I sent Austin an Email which was ignored and he can read this and it's ignored.
I guess all I have to do to build a rack is keep promising to write a story and accumulate it bit by bit?
Antin, at least, had an excuse...


This never would have happened on ST.

Seems cursed to me. Beware the Traveling Stopper.

edit: we should all mass email austin and have the stopper returned to Tony. Then Tony, you post a trip report on destroying the stopper in some Tolkienesque manner. Thus ridding the world of it's evil.

This sounds more reasonable.

edit edit: I'll send you $2 to cover the cost of this TR
