dare i ask? would you forget "don't drink the water"?

[RHDVIPbB]

dare i ask? would you forget "don't drink the water"?

I have dual citizenship in the US and Canada. It takes a bit of paperwork to go to Mexico.

[jclo3313]

[DandiDani]

well this sux:frown:

[JumpmanYaris]

Well just heard from the USArmy Rangers their Informant said he was kidnapped by a person named "Bubaa" ?? They said they might have a clue where he is, as I type they are in search for him some where in Mexico.
Thats all I know as soon as the LT gets back to me i will let u all know of anything.

[TinyGiant]

i'm soooooo close.. yet so far away lol.

bambo have a twin?

[Darb]

The last time bubaa was on was when he answered my PM awhile ago. I'll keep PMing, hopefully one will get through.

Nothing like this happened when I ran this thread :tongue: :respekt:

Thanks for the respect! Trying my best. :biggrin:

Nipping this in the bud. Can we please not dig up old drama in this thread?

:thanks:

[tk-421]

Agreed. Back on topic please.

[Darb]

Hey TK, in the event that bubaa doesn't check his PMs (I don't know if he's set to have them emailed to him), is there any way that I could get his email that he used to register? Do you have access to that?

[tk-421]

I will e-mail him personally if he doesn't answer before the end of the day. :thumbsup:

[tk-421]

^^ Flamebait! :tongue:
Actually, Bambo hasn't left Mexico yet...

[advocate]

Let's hope he was wearing his bullet proof vest then.

[Darb]

I will e-mail him personally if he doesn't answer before the end of the day. :thumbsup:

Any luck?:help:

[tk-421]

Crap... forgot to send him the e-mail last night...
Sending it now :redface:

[Darb]

Thanks!

[JumpmanYaris]

Has he responded yet?

[DevilGirl]

Any word from the lil guy yet??? *waiting with abaited breath*

[Darb]

I've heard nothing yet, TK was trying to email him personally.

Any luck, TK?

[tk-421]

Not yet... :cry:
I can try e-mailing him again, I guess...

[Darb]

Argh, I hope we haven't lost him...

[DevilGirl]

Argh, I hope we haven't lost him...

If he does not turn up we should get tinygiant to make a bunch of tshirts with that printed on it. I'd buy one for sure.

[DandiDani]

:bs:

[DandiDani]

id get a shirt with that on it too.

[tk-421]

.

[DandiDani]

EXACTLY!!!!^^^^

[DandiDani]

I vote to start a bambo #2 and if bambo #1 ever shows up then we will have two bambos. then that waiting list wouldnt be so long and we should have more pics cuz two bambos would be out there.:iono:didnt someone have the exact same bear?

[TinyGiant]

i remember seeing pictures somewhere of a simular bambo.

i think sadly bambo 2 should be enlisted :)

hah thats great.


freshmen year I had a teacher that was like 21yo.. long haired and looked like curt cobain. fun teacher.. sadly my class scared him off or something because he left for cali three quaters into the year.. when he left I made up "have you seen this man" shirts and gave them to some friends to wear. even though we knew where he was . it was funny to wear around school

[DandiDani]

i know it would seem sad to have a bambo#2 but it might be necessary...if he did show back up then we could just have two bambos w/ more pictures, better chances of one making it to meets, and a smaller list. i guess we just wait and see if he is found...

[Darb]

TK, any luck getting in touch with bubaa? I just tried PMing him again.

[tk-421]

Nothing unfortunately... I think we should start thinking about Bambo #2, as much as it pains me to say so... :cry:

[DandiDani]

welllll............did we find a bear to be bambo#2 yet?:iono:

Glad you like my work. I took and posted nearly 50 pics when I had Bambo.

[DandiDani]

yeah...when i get him im going to take a TON of pics too.

[DandiDani]

yeah when people get him they should take PLENTY of pics so we all can see what he is up to.:thumbup:

[*MAD DOG*]

That's the whole idea behind Bambo. Sadly some people have had him and not posted any pics :cry:

[DandiDani]

i know thats what i mean.... if people are going to ask to be put on the list then they should be sure to take plenty of pictures and do things with him.

[DandiDani]

:coolpics:

[DandiDani]

How does this work?
Each participant would take pictures of Bambo with their Yaris in their city. After each participant is done touring with Bambo the participant would send Bambo to the next participant on the list.

Picture Requirements:
Each participant should take the following pictures:
1 picture of Bambo with your Yaris.
1 picture of Bambo in an area that identifies where he has been.

Any additional pictures you would like to include are welcomed.

What do you do with the pictures you take?
A sticky has been be made for the pictures to be posted here at YarisWorld. Also please be sure to add a small caption of the location of your photos.

Visit Guidelines:
Each participant would have 7 days to tour with Bambo. The participants will be responsible for sending Bambo to the next person on the list. Contact and shipping information will be provided to Bambo's current host from the next participant on the list via PM for our privacy.

[TheRealEnth]

so what.. bubaa stole him? or died or something?

[*MAD DOG*]

I think Bubba is uncontactable and has been for weeks.

[DandiDani]

yes...so now we have recruited bambo#2...i think darb got us the same exact bear.:w00t:

[DandiDani]

yeah i got to hang out with the lil guy for a lil bit in nashville at the meet. i was really looking forward to him coming to louisville, but perhaps bambo#2 will be coming instead...:iono: i would REALLY like to see that lil scrap book too! does it not get passed around with Bambo anymore?

[*MAD DOG*]

I'm sure the admin of this board has an email address for this guy and or his real name. Can't they do a facebook/myspace/google search and see if they can find another way to contact this individual? Anything to get Bambo back.

[DandiDani]

WE WANT BAMBO!:biggrin:

[Darb]

TK may have to do that. Though, TK mailed Bambo to bubaa last, so maybe he has his name anyway.

I haven't yet purchased Bambo 2 yet, I want to see if they have any at the store before I go and get one online.

[DandiDani]

We could only hope....

[DandiDani]

i still think it might be a good idea to have two anyways.

[Darb]

Yeah, I'll see what I can do. ;)

[DandiDani]

Astro did, I've already been in touch with him. I have some free time this weekend, so I'll get what I can squared away.

i think if we end up having two bears...maybe the second one should be a lil bit different. maybe a different color YW shirt? idk...just a thought.

Dude if your out there please send Bambo onto his next stop. No harm, no foul. We all just want to see the little guy returned safely. This is a no BS appeal. Just put the little guy in the mail and ship him on. If you need money to cover the postage, I'm sure that we can come up with the funds.

ill pitch in to help pay for shipping too!

Ditto, I'll help pay to ship him.

The only issue is, bubaa hasn't logged on since I last PMed him on the 8th, it's been nearly a month.

[DandiDani]

wow.thats a long time.

[Darb]

Yeah, I've sent him at least 3 or 4 PMs... and TK has personally emailed him. Hopefully nothing happened to him.

[DandiDani]

yeah thats what i was thinking too.^:frown:

If something unfortunate happened, just let us know so we can move on.

The only issue is, bubaa hasn't logged on since I last PMed him on the 8th, it's been nearly a month.

I was wondering about that. Maybe he's sick with the flu or something and is not near a computer. Maybe his computer is broken and he had to send it to DELL for repairs and it's taking a long time. Maybe he's going through a divorce and his wife took the Bambo hostage. Maybe he's moving some place else and busy packing. Maybe he started a new job, no online access. Maybe he was deployed to Afghanistan and he took Bambo with him by accident. :iono:

I say give it a deadline (a couple of weeks or to the end of the month) and deploy another one instead :iono:

sorry for the delay darb i was consumed by work and my exams in school again pardon me but iam gettin today the pics so i can send it hopefully tomorrow

Too bad Bambo's not in southern California about now. I'll be going to Beijing for a week here pretty soon.

[DevilGirl]

So we have Bambo back??!!?? :headbang:

Yay! But we still should have a second one floatin around... Make my wait time a lot less... I think I did a rough calculation of almost 2 years till I would see him. Well, at least a year and a half anyway...

[TheRealEnth]

i figure with all the delays we constantly have, ill have him by xmas in the perfect time.. unless all goes well and then ill have him too early =( but then Zefoxe will have him in NY,NY to show him the real deal new years/xmas anyways... so its a win win

[DandiDani]

so darb are you still going to get the second one?:iono::confused: or are we just going to keep the one bambo?

[tomato]

Yeah, at this rate, we won't be seeing him for a while!
How long can a member keep Bamboo? 2 or 3 weeks?
Oh, well, he'll get here when he gets here :smile:

[DandiDani]

yeah imma be waiting for a long time.lol.

[*MAD DOG*]

I think the original bambo should be retired and a stunt double, kinda like santa claus' stunt doubles put in place. That way we never have to worry about the real Bambo going missing.

[DandiDani]

:iono:

[Darb]

I dunno about a second one, it sounds like a good idea.

If he did, we would have his address. And I don't think the person who mailed it to him would be opposed to giving that information out.

Then you can press charges of theft, hacking, etc.

[DevilGirl]

So what's the word on Bambo/Bambo 2???

[DandiDani]

idk.....

I don't think he'd be dumb enough to actually use his own address and name, but he would collect from a place like his work or have it sent to a friend.

[TheRealEnth]

Why would he go as far as to keep stalking us and wait for who knows how long to get a hold of bambo just to screw us over? Isnt that like.... HARDCORE STALKING... to a point where its not even like... stalking.... its obsession

[*MAD DOG*]

Captavise was/is a hardcore pain in the arse. The depths that cretin would lower himself to are beyond you're imagination.

And how much does it cost to get a little YarisWorld jacket?

[DandiDani]

how long has it been now? it seems like its been FOREVER. has the lil guy been shipped to the next on the list or is he still MIA? the last we have seen of bambo was on 9/12 when tk posted pics...a month ago:frown::cry::bs::needpics::hitcomputer:

[Darb]

I know... bubaa popped on when I updated you guys last week, now he's gone again... and he hasn't shipped him yet.

In any case, if any of you who are down the list are anticipating not being able to take pictures and shipping Bambo as your turn approaches, please let me know. We can figure out moving you down the list to a time where you're more able to participate. It's unfair to those down the list for someone to hold onto him for months at a time.

And how much does it cost to get a little YarisWorld jacket?

Never mind Bambo, I got the answer to that one.

Still wondering about the jacket though.

Darb? Anyone?

[jclo3313]

Does anyone have one of those bear factories in their mall? I'd bet they could make a shirt.

[tomato]

Yeah, but it won't say YarisWorld! :iono:

[tomato]

You know what I'm thinking?
I'm thinking that Bambo needs a brother.
It so happens that Bambo's family was visiting San Francisco yesterday, and I asked
Bambo's mom and Dad if they'd be OK with sending another one of their kids out on a WorldWide PR tour for YarisWorld and they said yes.
So, I guess, all we'd have to do is get him a new jacket...

[Darb]

I've spoken with Astroman and he said that most embroidery shops that sell stuffed bears with custom embroidered shirts will do one up if you can take the design to them on a jump drive. I was hoping we'd get Bambo moving along back on the 4th, but bubaa's disappeared since then... again...

[DevilGirl]

Curiosity, why the chosing of a panda as our "mascot"? Not sure I understand how it all got started...

[tomato]

Neither do I. Maybe this was explained in the original thread (before the hack)?

Haven't gotten him yet. I got stuck with a huge electric bill this month because my roommates leave the lights on all the time, so I'm eating beans and rice this week (literally). Hopefully once my next paycheck comes through.
. :thumbsup:

I'd be willing to put Bambo's little brother from the photo up there in the mail to you. No reason why you should pick up all the costs.

still working on that jacket though. any help in that regard, would be greatly appreciated! :biggrin:

[jclo3313]

You guys rule..........:wub:

[TinyGiant]

maybe because the car is asain made? and the bear is asian?

Well, I've offered to buy the replacement panda (see my posts above)

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showpost.php?p=401631&postcount=401

and put it in the mail to someone (Darb?), but I need a clear "go ahead" though.

And, I need some help with the jacket, too. I can probably find a little red jacket somewhere (but where ???) but I don't have the logo anyway, so any help with that would be greatly appreciated. :help::help:

[TinyGiant]

if its cotton i can screen print onto it

[tomato]

idk....lol. kinda looks like his eye is open.

I have a feeling he can back out of that one just the way he came in.

[DandiDani]

lol. hope so. we really need to get bambo on his way...this has been going on for waaayyy too long now:mad:. i say its time to get bambo #2:thumbsup: and if the original shows up then we can just have two:iono:

[tomato]

I think you're right. Bambo II could even have its own brand new thread ;)

[TinyGiant]

bambo 2 is a good idea. two bambos would be great. it would keep the thread active and give us more pictures and more people getting involved. I feel like i've been waiting for a lifetime for bambo to arrive. i think it would be awesome to make the process speedier :)


DO IT!

[DandiDani]

yeah! if we evenntuaally had both of them then that list would speed up a lot and we would have a lot more photos posted. darb will just have two threads to track now. he said he was up to the challenge of doing it already. i even offered to help.lol.

[TinyGiant]

i'm only a couple people away from bambo right now so if you send it to the next person and they send it to me i can screen print the yaris logo on there while i have him.

[TinyGiant]

why two threads?

doesnt really matter what bambo is what.. its just the spirit of the thing

[DandiDani]

that sounds like a good idea. you can post the pics of the process too.doesnt have to be two threads.just an idea.

[TinyGiant]

I can get some press on numbers and put numbers on the back of the bambo clothes :)

i have a heat press here at the house too :)

if you find the little shirts maybe send a couple extra so that i can keep them here just in case we have another missing bambo

[TinyGiant]

you knwo what.. i'll shop around tomorrow. I might be able to find something at the local craft store. i know old women make bears and dolls and they sell the clothes there :)

[TinyGiant]

if not i have a friend who is a great seamstress that could whip up a couple shirts for me or i can do it at her house. either way :)

[DandiDani]

thats a good place to check. let us know what you find.:thumbsup:

[Darb]

Well, I've offered to buy the replacement panda (see my posts above)

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showpost.php?p=401631&postcount=401

and put it in the mail to someone (Darb?), but I need a clear "go ahead" though.

And, I need some help with the jacket, too. I can probably find a little red jacket somewhere (but where ???) but I don't have the logo anyway, so any help with that would be greatly appreciated. :help::help:

Here, let me check Toys R Us for a match to the first Bambo, I know they have them on their web site. I'll do it tomorrow, then, if I have no luck, I'll let you know.

[DevilGirl]

Maybe a different color shirt for Bambo II? Maybe blue?

Darb, let's take it to PM.

[TinyGiant]

i just stopped at the craft store . they said they used to have clothes for "webkins" or something like that they had some pants left that looked like if there were shirts they would be the right size
i'll keep hunting

[tomato]

Well, we know where Bambo 1 is (Bubba responded once, so it'll surface again) so that gives us a little time to get the next one all dressed up and ready to go.

A different color shirt might be cool, too!

[TinyGiant]

i'll keep looking around too :)

[tomato]

Update !!! (drum rolls)

The stork will deliver Bambo's little brother @ my doorstep in a few business days (hopefully, lol!).

Bambo's little brother was not available in local stores, so it's going to make the trip all the way from its East Coast warehouse to San Francisco.

KCALB SIRAY pointed me in the right direction (thanks man!) so I finally found the YarisWorld logo. :thumbup::thumbup: Currently looking online for embroidery shops near me, so by the time Bambo II gets here, we can get some clothes on him! Wouldn't want to send him out into the work stark naked, uh?! :biggrin:

Things are looking up ! :headbang:

[DandiDani]

yay!

[tk-421]

:clap:

[tomato]

why two threads?

doesnt really matter what bambo is what.. its just the spirit of the thing

I was just saying that .. no need, really.

that sounds like a good idea. you can post the pics of the process too.doesnt have to be two threads.just an idea.

You know, I intend to photograph it the minute it comes out of its box, so you guys will know exactly when I get it and what's going on with him. I sure hope they send me the right item :wink:

if you find the little shirts maybe send a couple extra so that i can keep them here just in case we have another missing bambo

if not i have a friend who is a great seamstress that could whip up a couple shirts for me or i can do it at her house. either way :)

I'm sorry, I didn't notice all your posts, TG, I was busy pm'ing right and left ;)
Will do, will do. The minute I get the panda, I'll hit the toy stores around here until I find something. Worse case scenario, I beg my friend who has a sewing machine to make one (or two ;) but if I get nowhere with that, I'll let you know that too so we can make another decision.

Can't wait :thumbup::thumbup:

[jclo3313]

Thanks for all of the hard work guys. Great job Tomato.:biggrin:

[tomato]

Aww, thanks but don't thank me just yet. I'm still waiting for my package!!
They're shipping ground so it'll be a little while.

[Darb]

Same here, let me know if I can toss some bills at you.

[tomato]

Thanks, guys. I'll let you know.

I went to Toys R' Us in Marin County the other day and I stopped to be sure they weren't BS'ing me, but they were right, pandas were all gone.

see for yourselves (no pandas in there!!):

A good thing I ordered online!!

[KCALB SIRAY]

ooh I like the Beagle =)

[tomato]

Hahahaha! I got a Pluto dog for my Yaris while I was there.
Couldn't resist!! ;) It's on the dashboard now.

[JBougie]

I have a little Dachshund beanie baby I keep in my car ... his name is Frank. I laughed for about 15 minutes when I read the tag and decided I had to have him as a full-time co-pilot in the Yaris lol

That's crazy that all the pandas were gone .... it must be a conspiracy ..... :)

[tomato]

:thumbup: Just got a tracking number for Bambo II!!! :thumbup:
I can't believe it took them that long to get him out of the warehouse and on the road!! Well, he's on his way to California now. :thumbsup:

:burnrubber:

[KCALB SIRAY]

[silver_echo]

[Darb]

Woot! Now he just needs a shirt. And a name.

Let's do a 1 week suggestion period followed by a weeklong poll to name him.

My suggestion?

Bambu

[DevilGirl]

Woot! Now he just needs a shirt. And a name.

Bambu

My suggestion:

Shirt = blue
Name = Bernard (means "brave like a bear")

[TinyGiant]

Brando

[tomato]

Bamboo (2 o's) ?

[JBougie]

I like Bambu or Bamboo - or Bambo with the '-' above the o, I just think that would look cool :)

[tomato]

guys, make it something easy to spell, sweet and short, so the embroidery job goes smoothly ;)

[Greenthunder]

He looks like a Frank, or a Vinny

[tomato]

OK, so from November 2, to November 9, we take name suggestions.
The following week, November 10 to 17, we vote.
Then, by the end of that week, I ship him out.

That's great, actually, it gives me a deadline to get [Panda ] dressed up and on his way to the next stop and maybe I can even take him to the next Northern Cal meet with Garm on November 13 :thumbup: so you guys can have pics of [Panda] sitting on his car or something :wink: well let's keep our fingers crossed :smile:

So far we have:

- Bambu

- Bernard (means "brave like a bear")

- Brando

- Bamboo (2 o's)

BTW, just to give you a quick update.
[Panda] is well rested from his trip to California and today he wanted to go sightseeing on his own. I gave him a ride to the train station.
Here is is, on his way downtown SF

[KCALB SIRAY]

and yet, no one on that train is even curious as to why you are standing taking a picture of a Panda, lol. Classic!!

[Darb]

More front page updates. <.<

Also, split the list and added tomato's two posts with [Panda]

[DandiDani]

[*MAD DOG*]

[DandiDani]

:laugh:

[Slick]

oooooh, I like iBambo :)

[tomato]

How about Bambo 2009, Service Pack 1

[DandiDani]

huh

[tomato]

Geek humor

[DandiDani]

i think he should have a simple name,lol

[tomato]

Ideally it should be real short so they don't have any problem putting it on the back of a sweater his size. 5 letters would be good.

[DandiDani]

oreo is only 4:smile::laugh:

[*MAD DOG*]

iBambo

[DandiDani]

Oreo :tongue:

[JBougie]

Oooh!!! I like Oreo!! That's cute!! iBambo is also pretty adorable .... awww snaps. So far my favorites are:

[DandiDani]

1.oreo
2.bambu
3.ibambo

[tomato]

guys, guys, guys... the vote isn't until next week. :laugh:
Right now we're still adding to the list

By the way, if anybody has extra time on their hand, I'm trying to figure out where to get the jacket with the YarisWorld logo made.

So if you have extra time ... :biggrin:

I'll go to: Marin County, San Francisco County, Alameda County, Contra Costa County

I got 3 phone numbers off Yelp, will call tomorrow (they're closed now) but it looks like they only do big jobs :frown:

[TinyGiant]

My wife says Bambino

[JBougie]

I LOVE that one!
