Let's give Abbott a present!

aww =D

this is... weird.

Well, maybe it is.
I didn't intend it to be weird.

haha. it's just, how would this even be possible?

set up a paypal account and put your trust in an ilxor.

it would never work.

You're right. It COULD be possible if Abbott chose something and we all could buy it for her - that happens all the time for brides.
i don't know why I was thinking about a sewing machine - maybe because I have been looking at a lot of fiber art. And things that need patching.

<3 <3 <3

Abbott - tell us where you are registered and let us buy you things.

i am pro this.

Just paypal her the money

Abbott: tell your friends where you are registered in a way entirely unconnected to an internet message board, because this is not a real place, this is an Other place, a place of Occasional Amusement, and not one where weddings gifts are wisely solicited.

I think it will work if our dear Abbott chooses a gift - however...

Abbott we cannot purchase an actual rocket launcher.

Wow, kenan is really opposed to this.

I started this thread because I believe a lot of people would like to contribute to a gift for Abbott in honor of her wedding.

So, Abbott, just let us know what you want.

Why is this a bad thing?

His and Hers Fleshlights?

because this is not a real place, this is an Other place, a place of Occasional Amusement

I disagree that ILX friends are somehow 'less real' than IRL friends. I've talked about & worked my way through some real shit w/ilxors, and they've definitely qualified as friends in that regard. But that's another thread.

Abbott - tell us where you are registered and let us buy you things.

^ best

No no, I'm not aiming my stream at the parade, this just seems like a "email all your friends" kinda thing and not an ILX kinda thing. That's all.

Boundaries!

I love Abott but I kind of agree because with Kenan because if we did this it would seem like we should also be buying collective grad, birthday, divorce etc. presents and it just seems kind of strange. I don't know - maybe I'm wrong.

For the official record -- write this down -- I also love Abbott. :)

I would be happy to begift Abbott, or for that matter, nearly any other ILXor on a unique occasion such as a wedding, if I wasn't nearly fucking destitute all the time.

Trying to keep up with birthdays and so on in a group this size would be just ridiculous, though.

I said it wrong then - so let's Give Abbott A Present of her choice when she tells us how to do so.

My enthusiasm got the best of me. I want to give EVERYONE presents, in a way.

Sorry Abbott - this was not a great idea.

I registered at Target but only for a gallon of whole milk.

<3 u aimurchie

<3 all u guyz

Everyone should draw a picture of a dog and mail it to me.

I've been asking people to do this for years and I've built up quite a collection.

I will do that.

we should collabo

divorce etc. presents

Divorce presents really need to be more of a tradition. Wine and liquor could be the "traditional" standby, along with a card with a picture of a crying Keane cartoon that says, "I'm sorry you make such poor decisions."

i am totally going to mail you a blender.

Which 'we' Hoos?

you and me doggie

we should talk over internets mail tho cause i gotta be out for now

thought so. I'm for it. Haven't done much collaboration on drawings, though.

ha i can't draw for shit man i'ma be drawing stick figure doggies and whatnot

i forget you are like an actual beast with the ink

Goddamn, Sinatra just started singing "Night and Day" on my itunes. As you may have heard, he does a pretty ok job with it.

okay, wrong thread and wrong forum again.

Anyway, I'm up for anything to vary my routine with draws. Let's FAP or something about it.

lol Sinatra. Like the beat beat beat of a tom-tom.

'murchie, hell of down with the blender.

I have a sewing machine and haven't used it even one ding-dang-doo time.

Dear Abbott - there's a throw down of art, so...that's a present I suppose!

Blenders are very important.

One speed is all you need:

Beehive, baby. Still comes with a 1950's-style lifetime warranty, and a 1950's-style habit of never ever breaking. This is the Greatest Generation of blenders.

register that.

I can't afford it all by myself; I CAN put dollars toward it if you register it.

I feel like I'm hanging out on the corner eavesdropping on easygoing crew chatter. I mean that in a good way!

Do some art.

Dude some art.

I am working on an mspaint dog for you.
mspaint is not my friend this evening.
Sorry...

Dude!

<3 pictures of dogs

I should scan the ones my brother drew. They are the best.

so can we draw multiple pictures of one nice dog, or one picture of many dogs, many pictures of dogs both alone and together? or just the one drawing of the one puppy?

be specific, this is to be a wedding gift

You must draw ALL DOGS EVER

That is going to be tough. There are lots of dogs.

But one blender rules them all!

COUNTRY HAM OR AN ACHEWOOD COOKBOOK

I CAN'T MAKE THIS DECISION ON MY OWN

THE ORACLE SAYS: COUNTRY HAM.

INDEED

You know what elmo? No one's ever asked me that. Usually a person just draws one dog, but sometimes there are other things, such as a man on a unicycle or a hand or a bone or flowers growing out of the soil. But if you want to draw multiple pictures of one dog or multiple pictures of different dogs, fuck yeah.

One Ham to rule them all
One Dog to find them
One McGriddle to bring them all
and in the darkness blender

i almost had a mcgriddle this morning but i chickened out!

AN ACHEWOOD COOKBOOK

"I don't really like... meals."

I am going to draw you a cat.

Do many people draw Snoop Doggy Dog?

zero

I have a large collection of pictures dogs in hats, with with speech bubbles saying misspellings of various fruits if you want them.

Oh my gosh yes!

I'll dig em out.

Do they also wear wigs?

http://www.wigglesdogwigs.com/

Ha - I saw the wiggles lady on Letterman once. She was completely insane. And awesome.

Dear Abbott,

I have MS-Painted you an imaginary doggy with anime eyeballs. He is very friendly and his name is Ajax.

XO
elmo

Wau. That's the best MS-paintin I ever done see.

ABBOTT - CONGRATULATIONS WHEREVER YOUR MARRIED ASS MAY BE!

you are truly a creepy, creepy old man

Dude, what could be better than lolling nuts? Xpost

That MSPaint dog is just amazing!

I am working on a paint-by-number. They're much harder than you would think!
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Abbott. Hope the jaegermeister in the porta potty worked out for everyone.

I dare someone to MS paint Jaegermeister in the porta potty - I'm gonna try, but...my MS Paint skills are weak.
(It's all art for Abbott)

oh this is such a nice thread! (mostly)

It needs orchiectomy

AJAX! That is the best dog.

The best DRAWN dog that anyone has ever seen.

The photo I drew from says he is "Fritz, a television celebrity bulldog" whatever that means. You may call him anything you like, of course.

bump!

Shit, I still need to mail that thing.
