Pictures will be provided if camera and McDougall both make home in a few large pieces. Shecky 119 is currentely enjoying an icy cold Gimlet in preparation of preperation for Trip.

COme on, folks, get out there with your camera and your Shecky! Sure, people stare at you like you're nuts, but it's part of the fun!

He requested "Hula Blues" because he knows Inky likes that song.

While everyone else will be taking huge amounts of class A to C drugs, Shecky will only allow rum-based drinks to pass his rim. Wish him luck! Trader Woody

(Just read Head-On/Repossed, by the way. I particularly enjoyed JC's tale of how he took so much acid he thought he'd become a city centre.... woah!) Fartsatune - Damn, I was in London just days ago, but will be back again in a few weeks. Shecky will be there. Trader Woody
PJ purple jade Member New Orleans Joined: Feb 19, 2003 Posts: 1450	PJ purple jade Posted posted on Wed, Jun 11, 2003 4:14 PM I didn't read it but I remember an excerpt about a package of mini-marshmallows on a road trip through the Mojave Desert I think? And I remember a tale from back in the day when he mistook a shower for a loo. In a number two kind of way. Yuck. And now he just looks like a bad trip.
J jtiki Member Joined: May 06, 2002 Posts: 111	J jtiki Posted posted on Thu, Jun 12, 2003 10:21 AM I'm actually pretty thrilled with the traveling Shecky idea and hope to get some pictures of our little green friend this weekend (if it stops raining). I do have two Shecky's and was trolling for a trade. HOWEVER, HERE IS A REAL CHALLENGE FOR YOU: Can you get a picture of someone famous drinking from Shecky. I don't know anyone famous, I don't know where I would run into someone famous, and if I did, I don't know how I would ask them if I could take their picture while they were drinking from our little green friend. BUT THIS HAS BEEN MY OBSESSION since the traveling Shecky idea was introduced. You know - Hillary is on a book tour; but I get this image in my head of Secret Service agents beating me senseless, and worse, breaking Shecky, as I approach the former first mrs. with my little green friend.

T tikifish Member Toronto,Canada Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2720	T tikifish Posted posted on Tue, Jun 24, 2003 4:36 AM I apologize, I was too chicken to take Shecky to France with me lest he got broken... however I did capture a parisian streetmattress, which is almost as good. MORS TRAVELLING SHECKY PICTURES PLEASE!!!!! The San Fran one is priceless.
TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Sat, Jul 26, 2003 8:08 AM In the past few weeks, Shecky has been to Glastonbury Festival where he caught The Flaming Lips, Radiohead, plus a whole bunch more; much of the time filled with strong Somerset cider. Sadly no pics exist of this happy event as I broke my (luckily cheap) camera. He also went to Amsterdam, Holland where he went through the X-ray machine at the airport (causing much furrowing of brows from security). His highlight was a trip to a Hell's Angels bar in the red light district. Pics to follow.... Trader Woody

Anyone have an extra they'd be willing to sell/trade? I know these aren't supposed to be used for profit, so consider me a charity case!

(Which happens to be 2 minutes from my new house, so he's not really travelled too far this time). Trader Woody [ Edited by: Trader Woody on 2004-04-15 07:50 ]

We are hitting Key West, Cozumel, Grand Caymans, and the Bahamas. As this well traveled little green rascal aways has a camera around I'm sure he will con us into catching him in many compromising activities. Will post soon.

He decided to go to Easter island, where he proceeded to herd himself a moai into a holding pen. (To keep him from walking away) The moai proved to be friendly, and took little Shecky in hand: Here's a closeup of the two new friends together: Ain't love grand!

You're a brave man taking Shecky that far from home. Remember folks that as Tiki Centralites span the globe, even your hometown can seem incredibly exotic, so just get Shecky out to a local bar or something rather than let him live out life in the basement.

D*mmit! (I just saw this thread for the firast time, too.) ANOTHER reason for "Why I Deserve Your Shecky for Trade" the next time one comes up: had I had one in the past, I could have gotten COUNTless celebs (and I don't mean just B or C-list) drinking with my would-be Shecky!! And I travel all over the place, all the time; in fact, I missed this thread the first time because I was in Spain. Yes, had I not be Shecky-less in the past, I could have photographed Spanish Shecky running with the bulls in Pamplona! Diva Shecky debuting onstage at Carnegie Hall! Elvis-Impersonator Shecky at Graceland! Scottish Shecky looking for the Loch Ness monster! Slavic Shecky in the Czech Republic! And of course, Texan Shecky at the Alamo. Sell/trade me your spare Shecky, PLEEEEEZE!!

I've actually got one of those!! Z-Girl and I were all over Ireland & Scotland last summer and I took dozens of pix of our beloved Shecky in just about every place we visited (yes, including Loch Ness). Unfortunately, all the pictures are currently trapped in my old P.O.S. computer that for whatever reason refuses to cooperate and give them up. I would have posted them long ago, but I've been battling that heap of junk for a while now, but as soon as I can pry them out of it's cold mechanical fingers, I'll post'em, 'cause they came out great!

I'm just jealous, I will probably never see these places you speek of nor do I have a Shecky! Wow I feel empty all the sudden. LOL

It's all relative and we all wish we could do the things we can't..... Saying that, you've a place you can crash out in England (free) if you can get the airfare together. It can't be too much from Florida to Manchester, UK? Trader Woody

But as the Woodmeister says, at least you can paint yourself an eerily lifelike Shecky. I can only dream... Ya gotta admit, it WOULD be great to see our little green friend on Calle Estafeta, grinning his unforgettable grin as behind him, 6 mad-as-hell bulls and 8 stampeding steers are crashing into white-and-red clad drunk, adrenyline-pumped Spaniards and tourists.
