+Jake39 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 ..The idea is that everyone has a ballpoint-pen in his or her possession that has advertising from a business or a place you vacationed, or someone gave you a pen for the promotion of their site or area. The trick would be to log the name and ?....... well I wont give away all the details yet ......this category isn't even as bad as (Simulacra) paint blisters that look like ???? or rust spots..

+ibycus Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I don't get it. Maybe more details would help people understand what it is you're getting at (although it sounds like you don't want us to get it, which will make it hard to say yay or nay). Link to comment
+Anonymous' Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I agree, i really don't understand the concept of this idea. Link to comment
+Jake39 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 OK..Ok... Here is more.... I have a number of pens with printed advertising on them. One is a local 'Ford' dealer- - - You take a picture of the pen and the dealership and log your co-ordinates. The other one is from a hotel in Hawai' 'The Royal Kona Resort' (a souvenir) with their name on it. So you take a vacation spot picture of the pen and hotel, to show you have been there ...and log it. The opportunities are endless. Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Got it. Viagra would likely be a popular pen. Link to comment
+ibycus Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 OK, I get it now... My feeling is this would be really cool if the pens were something someone had *before* going out there. Unfortunately I think it would turn in to "I went, got the pen and took my picture outside the place". Link to comment
+tozainamboku Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 OK, I get it now... My feeling is this would be really cool if the pens were something someone had *before* going out there. Unfortunately I think it would turn in to "I went, got the pen and took my picture outside the place". I wouldn't see the point of having the category if you had to have the pen first. Seems much more useful to think of this as the "Places where I can get a free ball-point pen" category Link to comment
+TeamAO Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Now, I like the creativity, don't like the idea. Sorry, for the bad review on the idea. I'm more of a woods and location person, this sounds more like getting coordinates to just any old building that you have a pen of. Link to comment
+Team Panda Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I'm with Ibycus and Team AO. Great creativity but I just don't think the idea would work out in the end. So I vote an apologetic "No." Link to comment
+Jake39 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hee Hee... You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time...... hmmm I wonder who said that? (1809-1865) Link to comment
