I think it would be really funny if I could get a whole bunch of people from all over the place to send my mother a post card with the words "salamander cannonball" on it.
Don't worry my mom would know I was behind it and she wouldn't be freaked out. If you are willing to do this for me I'd really appreciate it and I will send you a postcard back! PM for the details! Thanks!

chappykat 10/10/2008

I'm in. Send me her address and I'll shoot a Pechanga postcard off to her. You don't need to send one back in return:-) this sounds like fun

Wanda 10/10/2008

Yep, me too. I'd love to do something nice ...or, um...weird... for your mom.

spinjenny 10/11/2008

OK, I'm in! I'll send her one from the UK if you PM me her address.

szreader 10/11/2008

Me too (or four: after chappykat, Wanda and spinjenny)!

YooperHill 10/11/2008

I'll do it too! I'm into weird! Let me know her addy...

Hazelette 10/11/2008

You just want us to write "salamander cannonball" on a postcard? Do you want weird postcards too or ones specific to our location?

Did you have a lizard belly-flop in your pool?

salfra 10/11/2008

LOL na:) What a visual you created for me!

Hazelette 10/11/2008

Yeah, the imagine of that is pretty funny!

I went on vacation with a friend once, and we stayed at her brothers house in Florida. They had screen panels all around the pool to keep the geckos out (and prevent their drowning.) It was very odd to be floating there on your back and see one scurry across the netting overhead. So I can imagine one jumping from a tree branch (as they're known to do), miss it, and land in the pool, if there weren't screens. :)

It'd be funny to see... I wonder if we can pitch it to Geiko;d marketing department? :D

Any postcard is great! The idea of my mom getting a bunch of postcards from a bunch of different locations all with the same thing written on them is funny! Salamander cannonball doesn't mean anything, they are just the first two words that I thought of that I knew would perplex my mom. I think at first I am going to pretend that I don't know anything about this even though she knows I am always getting packages in the mail!

mouseybrat 10/11/2008

i'll join in too. pming you

LadyBathory 10/12/2008

Sound like fun :D I'll send her one from Denmark

ukstash 10/12/2008

I'll send her one from the UK. pming you.

Can I write something and include Salamander cannonball, or does this have to be the only thing on the card???

VickiM 10/12/2008

Let me know your Moms address and I'll send her one sounds fun.

spiderlady 10/12/2008

I'll send her one! Sounds great! PM'ing you!

Amyellabella 10/14/2008

I'd be happy to send one! Sounds really funny!! If you're still interested just PM me her details!

chappykat 10/17/2008

ointyartyhat, your Mom ought to be really confused by my card then. I mixed those words up with my swap name in the scrabble game flavor! Hope she enjoys it. I sent her an extra long postcard.

halfwaythere 10/17/2008

I PM'ed you

Susi 10/17/2008

This sounds like fun, I'll pm you too for the addy!

YooperHill 10/17/2008

let us know how she responds ok?

Amyellabella 10/19/2008

Has she started receiving any of these yet? I bet it has been so funny watching them all come in!

pointypartyhat 10/23/2008

I think in total between the forum requests and the postcard swaps I was in that so far my mom has gotten about 25 postcards. At first it was confusing my mom because a few would trickle in here and there. Then it dawned on her that I might have something to do with it. I finally admitted it today, everybody thinks its really funny. The funniest part happened today when the mail carrier handed my mom a stack of postcards and said "Here are some more postcards Barb!" and then my mom kind of smiled and turned to me and said "He probably thinks I'm crazy!" Haha! Thank you to everybody who participated in my crazy scheme!
