Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 05:10 pm     Last year, some people made squares for a quilt for Monica. Would anyone like to do something for the houseguests? Doesn't matter which one, as we all have our favorites? After all, they did entertain us for the summer. Maybe we can send them to CBS before the final show, and they can give it to them there...maybe I'm just dreaming. Any thoughts? (If I posted this in the wrong place, please feel free to move it or delete it) |
Bernie | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 06:13 pm     Pcakes2, the quilt for Monica was because her cousin was a victim of the September 11th attack last year, while she was in the house, and when BB didn't tell the three remaining houseguests what was happening. It was an exceptional situation, and that was the reason for the gift. Folks here wanted to make a gesture of condolence to Monica. I may be completely wrong, but I don't think this years houseguests are in need of that sort of special effort, but it was a very kind and generous thought.  |
Spygirl | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 07:18 pm     I don't think it is a bad idea, actually. I'm not sure what you had in mind, though, Pcakes. It might be fun! There are some very creative folks on this board!!! |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 07:42 pm     I realize the reason why the quilt was sent to Monica. I just thought it would be something nice to do. Maybe a card or a collage or a quilt or anything...it was just a thought. But it would be nice if we could do a little something for each houseguest. Looking for suggestions. A friend of mine suggested maybe an old bible for Jason and we can mail it around and have his fans write special thoughts in it for him. Like I said, just a thought. |
Jhezzie | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 07:43 pm     It was a nice thought, Pcakes2, but they're not POWs. |
Dipo | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 07:47 pm     It might be fun to do something just to say thank you (since we can't do banners) and by the way, the internet wasn't ever turned off and there was no 7 second delay. And by the way we loved every minute, including the nudity you thought you weren't doing !!!! LOL Do you think they would give it to them |
Mystery | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 07:49 pm     Dipo, do you think a bakery could get all that writing on a cake? |
Willow_Woman | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 07:50 pm     Pcakes2, I for one would definitely like to send something to Jason. He's been an inspiration to me. |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 07:55 pm     Jhezzie, no one said they were...like I said, it was just a thought. You don't need to participate. Dipo, I don't see why not since the internet is part of the show to some extent. They are making money off us. Maybe the houseguests would realize that the internet folks are okay. Someone else in my other group suggested maybe everyone can contribute a recipe, and we can put them in a book. (not 101 recipes for PB&J!) |
Spygirl | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:00 pm     Pcakes!! that is a great idea -- although I think it should include a section on PB&J receipes  |
Bmh | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:01 pm     I like the idea to Pcakes..it would be nice to do and fun! |
Moondance | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:02 pm     GREAT idea Pcakes!!! |
Bigd | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:03 pm     How about we make up some ACTUAL bumper stickers from the bumper sticker thread and send them to them....LOL |
Willow_Woman | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:03 pm     Actually, I think this is a very good idea. Maybe CBS should *show* the hgs getting something from the internet viewers. It would: 1. be good for promoting live feeds 2. give notice to future BB participants that, yes, the internet people really *do* watch everything they say and do and are *not* the freaks they make us out to be (I don't think some of them ---like Roddy---really realize that there are a lot of us out here and we really do see everything that goes on. Jason seems to realize this.) |
Llkoolaid | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:05 pm     I don't know if I remember correctly but when we decided to do something for Monica after 911, a quilt was decided upon because Monica loved the quilt she used on BB and asked if she could have it when she left and they said no, so Fly came up with the idea of us making her a quilt. For this year if someone comes up with an idea , I will help. I'd love to do something nice for Gerry after all the crap he has taken. |
Flyonthwall | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:06 pm     Well after all the problems associated with the quilt project, I don't advise that! LOL Since Dunkin' Donuts is a sponser, everyone could make a poster board donut, like 7x7, with some words about the show, HG, or special things that BB is all about and mail them to Big Brother C/o CBS. Can you imagine if a chopper came hovering over the compound and dropped about 3000 paper donuts!??? Now that would be a sight to see! Oh and BB could add ONE donut that gives them a free Chopper ride over the area. They'd have to scramble to find it, like hunting easter eggs! Other than that idea I'm "fresh" out!

Hosewater | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:07 pm     Let's send Gerry a lemon tree so he can TRULY remember his fellow houseguests! |
Draheid | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:09 pm     FWIW - Gerry's dream from this is to help his school out. Perhaps there's something that could be done along those lines? Especially if he doesn't get any of the prize money? What I'd love to see is some foundation or something set Gerry up with a grant or donation - remember George's daughter got a full scholarship to Southern Vermont College because that's what he was on the show for, his kids education?!? Just a thought. |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:10 pm     Ok, y'all put on your thinking caps. I'm sure we can get something together for all the houseguests. To be fair, we have to do it for everyone. Some memebers may only want to participate for their favorite HG, other may want to do multiple. I don't think we should have a problem getting something for everyone. |
Twiggyish | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:11 pm     I like your idea PCakes.. Just let us know what you're thinking to do. |
Draheid | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:12 pm     Ok, on the more cynical note, how about if a few of us sneak into the Emmy's and steal a dozen of those gift baskets they talk about all the time ... I bet the HG's would LOVE one of those! Yes, I'm only kidding! Darn morals and all! LOL |
Willow_Woman | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:12 pm     Fly, Draheid, great ideas! I'd co-sign those. Hose, you are quite the comedian tonight. You been sippin' on Hillbilly's jug? |
Bmh | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:14 pm     lets see the bible idea for jason is good We should give marcellas a bottle of liquid soap with messages on it lol we should give Gerry something to do with him being a teacher Any other ideas..Im trying! |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:16 pm     Llkoolaid, I'll handle the logistics of it all. I know the quilt project got crazy. What we need right now is ideas. Gerry= school...maybe some can donate a book for the school library. |
Twiggyish | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:17 pm     Any book by John Edward for Roddy. (Ok, I'm kidding!) |
