How About A Five Red Dice Game To Challenge Your Memory?

That's right, a quick and fun game to challenge your memory! Just click here to go the game page and you have three minutes to list as many of the items offered for Pamela as possible. How sharp is that memory? Don't be to down if it's hard to remember, I run the site and had a hard time. I'll let you know my score later, e-mail me yours and I will post your initials and scores if you like!

Last night two new countries joined us for the first time- Brazil and Uganda. Uganda is pretty amazing as the continent of Africa is not as wired as the US and Europe. That's a total of 70 countries visiting us! Welcome aboard!

Steven Spielberg, Dave Letterman, Stephen King, George W. Bush, And Jay Leno. What Do They Have In Common?

Five Red Dice Tube Mail Project

The one thing they and many others have in common is they are the lucky recipients of Five Red Dice special mailings! Sure it looks like a toilet paper tube but let's consider them small works of art, each individually crafted and mailed with loving care via the United States Post Office. Most celebrities and media outlets get tons of promotional mail, I figured ours might as well stand out a bit. Sure they may think I am an ass, but at least they will think of me. I'm sure somewhere somebody threw out something seemingly odd created by Picasso, Warhol, Haring, whoever. Sure, I'm no Warhol, but remember, neither was Warhol at one time!

Click on the link or photo above to be taken to the slide show and see exactly who is getting the first round of Five Red Dice Tube Mailers!

Check out the poll in the right sidebar- Pamela Skeleton and Real Pamela are running neck in neck all day in the 'Who Is Sexier' poll! Make your vote count, vote now!

Rachel Of Mulvane, Kansas Wins The Free Five Red Dice T-Shirt!

And in the FREE Five Red Dice T-Shirt Contest the winner is....

I realize that Stephen Spielberg is not to worry over losing a project to me. Next time I do this I think I might just consider, oh, maybe... lighting!

Rachel of Mulvane, Kansas! Congratulations Rachel, and I am sure you understand the unwritten understanding that you wear the t-shirt 24/7 until it falls apart, and tell everyone you see about this crazy little adventure! By the way, it must get pretty dull in a small Kansas town, as Rachel has taken to hanging around with a Bart Simpson doll- who would ever be that silly?


Oh, never mind! This from a guy who takes a Pamela Anderson Skeleton Artwork to a pool party and a Starbucks date.



Can't wait to see how the Five Red Dice T-Shirt brightens the streets of Mulvane, Kansas, and I really hope Rachel shares some photos with the rest of us.

Thanks to everybody and we are well on the way to a second drawing for another t-shirt, so hang in there. And don't forget the main focus, I am still waiting for the 'right' trade and person to move my adventure to the next level, so please halp spread the word.

If you don't remember Rachel and her offer to trade some white Tony Llama cowboy boots, then click here.

Please do not forget to vote in the 'Who Is Sexier" poll in the right sidebar near the top.

Pamela Anderson Skeleton, Would I Trade For A Canoe, A Honda Generator, Great White Shark Jaws, A Go-Cart, Or A Hummer Limo Ride? Definitely Maybe!

So here I sit, sent home early from work due to Tropical Storm Eduardo and his water- Thanks Eddy! Thought I might pass along some thoughts on the trading process and my mindset as friends sometimes point out that my mind operates a little outside the norm.

Pamela is so very ready to move on from me and my slovenly, bachelor ways, but as of yet no particular trade has made me say yes, which is OK, because I am having loads of fun and meeting lots of neat people.

Pamela Anderson As Skeleton by Kathy Jo Braceland

I do know from the many trades that have come in that it will probably be a single item, not a collection of varied items that catch my eye. Also, it doesn't really have to be an "item", I have been and still am tempted by the offer of a bus ride n Houston, Texas for 30 people to any Houston area location. That might trade well, so be creative with your trade offers, who knows what might win the Pamela- not I at this moment.

Also, while it is not about money, and vague cash offers come in quite a bit, it is about hoping to 'trade-up' so it is unlikely I will trade for a ten dollar doll or something not very likely to move the project upward. It would be an insult to Pamela and Kathy to do so!

Bus Rice To Anywhere Or Nowhere

I was also tempted to just a bit for the old Playboy magazine, but probably want to keep it more family oriented, though it was a local offer and I saw the magazine. There is more skin in a modern People magazine!

Sophia Loren, 1960's Angelina Jolie?

I would also hope that the person that I trade with be 'into it', it is really about people and communication. There was a vibe from Kathy from the first e-mail, and a great sense of humor and ironic fun, so even if her offer wasn't as cool as ever, I would have been intrigued by her.

One recent intriguing offer was the "Mystery Bag" with 'Killer' on the bag. She offered it from Eastpointe, Michigan, and hinted it might be for me or Trixi, my dog. (See profile for Trixi) She said it had to be the best possible trade I could ever make! Wow, it's filled to the brim with thousand dollar bills?!?! And she also promised additional daily hints as to the contents, then disappeared on vacation. I will soon begin to e-mail her for more info and keep you informed!

Killer And Mystery Bag

So, what would Alan trade for? People ask. I don't really know but if any of these awesome things came in over the e-mail I would be interested and would probably trade.

A Canoe

A Ride In A Hot Air Balloon

I know there are a lot of balloonists with small companies out there. I just think this might be cool, I don't know, and it probably would trade up nicely. What do you all think?

A Honda Generator

Mechanical things should be working as my mechanical skills- zero- are only matched by my collection of tools- zero!

A Bicycle Built For Two

A Giant Set Of Great White Shark Jaws

My Daughter has, let us say, a 'slight' fear of sharks. Evil Dad thinks this might make a most unique headboard on her bed! Just kidding. No really.

A Go-Cart (Mechanical Abilities, Don't Forget!)

A Stuffed Black Crow

Don't ask, I just think they are cool, even if you think I am creepy or something. A raven would be nice too, just none of those two-tome pied crows please!

Time In A Hummer Limo

I see these around a lot and I am sure some owner would like Pamela and the publicity being on the blog would bring.

Well, if you stuck with me all through the photos, thanks, and don't forget, tomorrow night I will run the drawing for the FREE Five Red Dice T-Shirt Contest Winner. Good luck and see you then!

We've Reached 100 Members! FREE Five Red Dice T-Shirt Drawing Wednesday Night August 6, 2008!

We have reached 100 members on the official Five Red Dice World Headquarters E-mail List, and are preparing for the first drawing for the FREE Five Red Dice T-Shirt! The drawing shall be held Wednesday evening with the results broadcast live on FRD-TV meaning on this blog!
The results should be posted at aprroximately 9 P.M. Central Time, so check it out that night.

Also we received an offer this afternoon of a 'Baby Steps' Infant Walker. Cute, but, um, let me just think about that one...

The poll finished and 69% of you agree with my initial thought, that I should wait until I feel a trade is 'right', rather than sticking to some false schedule or taking a trade I am unsure of.

Thanks for all the help and spreading the word, and good luck in the drawing. Let's head for 200 now!

Pamela Anderson, Tommy Lee, Ben And Jerry, Napoleon Dynamite, Money And The Maldives. And More!

Yes folks, Pamela is still with me, happy and 'hanging' out at my place. What have I got that Tommy Lee don't? Of course I am still looking for the 'right' offer, many have come in but so far I have not been tempted quite enough, although two or three have caused me to revisit and think...

"Pamela As Skeleton"

The poll off to the right only has a few hours left so cast your vote, but 60-70% of you agree with me that I should wait until the offer seems just right. This means something that would trade up again and sending Pamela to someone who appreciates her as a work of art.

Don't forget, you can still get Five Red Dice limited edition art prints, each one signed and numbered. I have sent out a bunch, and their is a second edition on the way, even nicer looking, but they won't be released until these are gone.

Five Red Dice Limited Edition Prints

Just send a SASE envelope to...

Humble, TX 77346

Traffic has been up but offers down, it's weird that way. Next week hardly anybody will visit and a few cool things will roll in the door.

It's A Five Red Dice Cube Shaped World

We have had over 3,000 visitors to Five Red Dice, and even cooler they come from 68 different countries, the latest including Croatia, Latvia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and South Korea. Of course as usual Vermont is the only US state still missing. Do they have a block on the reporting? Does anybody visiting have a family member in Vermont? Maybe we should send someone to check on them, they may have "fallen and can't get up". If you want to check the stats they are updated daily on the 'Who In The World' page.

Ben And Jerry

Or is it that Ben and Jerry have them all making ice cream 24/7/365? Ben, Jerry, give your peeps a break dudes, get back to that hippie ethic and relax. It's not like us Texans are going to give up Bluebell Ice Cream anyway!

Napoleon

A new offer rolled in for a doll of Napoleon Dynamite, and he talks in that roundabout, weird way. Now seriously though, as a red-blooded American male, I will watch, laugh at, maybe hang with Napoleon, but give up Pamela Anderson for Napoleon? Way too much underlying psychology there to even consider it! Of course the mail also bought the standard issue offer of CASH, always an unspecified amount, often from an anonymous source. Hard to plan a trip to the Maldives on that phantom cash.





Excellent news, we are nearing the First Official Drawing for the Five Red Dice FREE T-Shirt Giveaway Contest! Every 100 people that join the e-mail list, I will draw a name from the pool and that person wins a T-Shirt! Better still, if you are on the mailing list you will be in every drawing. Kind of funny, as the pool increases your chance is smaller, but since you receive more chances you have more chance of winning.?!?

FREE Five Red Dice T-Shirt Contest

We are at number 98 this morning, so we are only 2 Dicers away from doing the first drawing!!!



The question mark above represents the puzzle I will reveal of what I am mailing to media to at least make sure they see the Five Red Dice name. It's amazing what kind of promotional items come into a media mail room, and it's hard not to be lost in the clutter. I figure if I mail a letter or postcard I am dead in the water, so i will be mailing, um, more unique items! If you have any suggestions on media that might be interested in this offbeat story or things that might stand out in the mailbag, please offer your suggestions!

'Pamela' Deserves To Hang In A Museum, Or- Another Hair-Brained Scheme From Five World Dice Headquarters

Yes, I have decided that before Pamela leaves Houston and myself forever she should have the opportunity to be represented among the collection of a major Houston art museum, my first choice of course being the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. In my quest to make that happen I have began a letter writing campaign to not just the Fine Arts Museum, but nine different museums in the Houston area.

Ah, For A Moment There You Thought I Was Kidding, Didn't You

I have all the information listed on the website- a copy of the first letter to MFAH, and the names of the other eight institutions, along with MFAH addresses and e-mail addresses for those of you who would like to join in the effort to offer all of Houston the chance to enjoy this unique work of art.

The Letter That Started A Movement

So do I really think they might display my lovely Pamela? I get the impression that a lot of the museums are a bit staid, even bureaucratic, like a government, and of course artists always have more opportunity if they are male and dead, but we'll let Kathy slide on these two points. But who knows, some forward thinking curator at a more cutting edge venue may get wind of the Five Red Dice Project and invite us in.

Museum Of Fine Arts Houston
1001 Bissonnet
Houston, TX 77005

visitorservices@mfah.org

So it might be funny if letters and phone calls came in insisting that there was to be an exhibition of Kathy Jo Braceland's 'Pamela', and when was it scheduled and how much are tickets? Go for it, world!

A few more interesting offers came in including a collection of chemistry glassware from some science experiment that just didn't work out. Still waiting on the actual photo of this and...

A strange sculpture of a bell pepper turning into a chili pepper. When I said well, let me think on that one I was offered....

A dozen rolls of toilet paper. This mind reader instinctively knew the house was devoid of this product, sensed the angry urgency of the teenager in the house! But no, fear not Five Red Dicers, I held steady under the pressure and will not trade Pamela for toilet paper, no matter the amount. It's the principle!
Please do not fail to cast your vote in the poll on the right sidebar, only a few days left!

My Night In The Nudist Colony!

The e-mail bag brimmeth over with unique and interesting offers today, the first of which comes from Denise of Eastpointe, Michigan. Sounds like a fancy place, they spent extra for the silent 'E' at the end of the town's name. Denise surely is a master of presentation and sent the tantalizing photo below.

Killer

Denise teased that she came up with the trades with the help of her dogs and cats, and the "Mystery Bag" might contain something for me, my dog, "or possibly the best trade you will ever receive". Wow!

It's hard for me here as I could make a trade and then she reveals to me that the bag contains something that is definitely not my best trade ever. Well, after a quick e-mail explaining how that might cut my project off at the knees, and alluding to her as being the evil embodiment of Monty Hall of Let's Make A Deal (young folks, go Google), she e-mailed me back with a masterstroke of promotion. She said that tomorrow she "will reveal another clue" as to the size and value of the item, and hinted again that "it may be too good to pass this one up".

There's a woman after my heart, she has my attention and it should be fun to watch this one play out over the next few days. Hopefully there is something I cannot resist and we can move our project along. Until then check out Denise's eBay store at Melodies and Memories Music Outlet.

Another totally cool and interesting offer came from Edy in Alvord, Texas. I had mailed a hopefully funny letter to the Bluebonnet Nudist Park asking if I would be safe from hunters as I claimed to be covered in hair like Sasquatch. Edy sent a welcoming letter and a FREE! T-Shirt! (Maybe to cover the hair?) You can check out the letter, reply and T-shirt at OomBa Mail, my funny mail site.



Edy kindly offered a night at the park for me and a companion if I were to 'accidentally' leave Pamela in the room. I'm not sure if Pamela would totally fit into the decor as she is ALWAYS clad in her red Baywatch special bathing suit. Possibly she longs to remove it and run free on the beach, but it seems rather permanent. Perhaps Kathy Jo Braceland could be commissioned to produce a Pamela Skeleton sans suit!

Bluebonnet Nudist Park Cabin

Probably the cartoon below sums up how my entire mini-nudist-vacation would go. Yep, I am pretty white.

Atlanta, Georgia was home to the next offer from Mary, and it was a stuffed e. Coli doll. How charming and heart-warming, I so should have gotten this for my child. However, Mary could not possibly have known that while e. Coli is a sweetie...

I am more of an Ebola Virus kind of guy! What can I say, something about that twisted little frame makes me happy, though I bet Ebola is a mean Twister competitor!

Last but not least Tracie of Houston offered not one, not two, not three, but four TURTLES! I am making some rules up as they come to me but I will state right here that I would almost certainly not trade for anything that eats. There may only be four things that eat that would be on my list of desirable objects...

1. Possibly a snake, yes, I love snakes.
2. Bigfoot
2. A Stepford wife
4 The real Pamela Anderson!

Tracie countered with organic bananas, but there we have the problem of a trader with the patience to wait and wait and wait for the perfect trade, and a product with a limited shelf life. I LOVE bananas and yet my kitchen counter sometimes becomes a fruit fly honeymoon suite because I forget they are there. So Tracie- Yes, I'll Have No Bananas, but that's cool. Tracie hints more offers are in the wings, soon to be revealed.

Please tune in tomorrow, if I get more hints on the mystery bag I will definitely post them, and click on comments to read the actual e-mails on some of these offers.

Bizarre Fan Of Pamela And Welcome Rhode Island!

Today's mail bought a thought from an upset Pamela fan in Austin, Joseph Fly. I hope Joseph's letter is more disturbed than Joseph! He writes...

There are alot of injustices in this ' Ol' Cruel World' but this Pamala thing has got to be one of the worst i have witnessed. Just this year i was channel surfing and happened across an old episode of BayWatch. The waves of nastalgia damn near brought me to tears. She saved alot of lives you know, i mean people that had nothing else to live for but Pam-watch. I hope KidRock doesnt get wind of this he may just bring his guns-to-H-town. Matter of fact i may notifey him myself. She is serious business 'bub' and alot of other hard-on 'Whakos' like myself may not find your cruelty humorous. By the way could i make a cash offer at this time, for the hag, just to stop the bloodshed, before this thing gets out of hand?
Respectfully,
Buzzfly in Austin

Well, now, let me gather my thoughts.
A cash offer would confuse the trading. Cash is worth exactly what it is worth, making it difficult to trade up. On the other hand, what size cash offer are we saying? Most people have trouble with the true value of an original work of art, that is why 90% of the offers could not be accepted.

Also, is this letter in jest? I am presuming, but "the hag" cuts to the quick and causes the required stack of cash to double, perhaps triple in size.

In addition, I am fearful that Joseph Fly and a few others miss the context of Pamela that is not readily apparent. She is not some cartoon. Her skeletal form and bright colors actually mock the culture of consumerism we live in. Her light-hearted style is a biting commentary on entertainment. Pamela might have acted on Broadway, but there is more fame and money in catering to the shallow pool of the masses. Skeletal in nature, Pamela reminds us all of the transience of beauty, that we shall all one day be skeletons. Dead. Even Joseph Fly. Even Kid Rock.

For that reason not only the trade offer but the person must be worthy.

On another note, Rhode Island is aboard. We all have been so totally wrong on all the polls. Remember when we all though North Dakota would be the last. Wrong! State after state fell, and we were wrong all along. We guessed Rhode Island 4-1 against Vermont. We forgot what slave driving tyrants Ben and Jerry can be I suppose.

On the brighter side of being wrong, perhaps you were all wrong about your souls burning in Hell, so feel free to start sinning again!

New Trade Offer, Pamela Gets A Job!

If you're new to Five Red Dice, welcome. I traded the Five Red Dice for this cool artwork of Pamela Anderson as a skeleton, and now I am ready to trade it for something bigger and better. What do you have to trade? Make an offer tonight!
You can see a much better image by going to the website and underneath the Pamela picture click 'larger image'.

Hey, we are only about 20 members away from the FREE Five Red Dice T-Shirt giveaway. Every 100 people joining, signing the guest book, making a trade offer one T-Short will be given away! You're in the drawing every pull, if you are on the e-mail list. For those who can't wait or who suffer from eternal bad luck, order your own at The Five Red Dice Store, lots of cool things there. Have I told you that wearing one is good luck. Just lack week this shirt prevented me from suffering a milk spill on my chest!

I did have another, how should I say, unique offer come in. It was for a cardboard standee of the little person called Beetle Juice on the Howard Stern show. Or so they say. Wow, that is so not my cup of tea, even if it were imminently tradeable. But it did merit an entry into the t-shirt contest.

As noted earlier in the week Pamela was seeking employment. Here she is hard at work over a paper full of red circles. i thought it might be all a big show and she was not committed to the idea but I was wrong. She has found a position working in an office.

I visited her today and snapped a pic, she wanted to show everyone she is not really just a diva and would be a great addition to your home, hanging around all the time and keeping you company. Imagine the story you could tell friends as to how you hooked up with Pamela! Much better tale than that tired old Van Gogh cut-off ear stuff!

Thanks for visiting and please come back soon. Don't forget to cast your vote in the poll- "Who's The Slowest State", Vermont or Rhode Island. Rhode Island is winning, or losing rather, big time. Click on your choice in the right sidebar!

Pamela Is Looking For A Job!

A solid offer came in today that I must refuse, though the thought was nice- a coupon for a FREE iced coffee at Starbucks so I don't burn my lips. Hmmm, is that so I can kiss Pamela. She's a drawing lady, it's just humor! I must be confusing people though as a second person e-mailed me to ask if I "really" had a date with Pamela Anderson! If only... Anyway, a coupon for a cup of Joe is too little, too soon. Good try!

Pamela has been working out in the gym a lot, but I cannot see one tiny bit of muscle tone improvement, but I sure can lie and tell her it's looking great!

Other than that it has been a slow week here at Five Red Dice headquarters. The most exciting news is that Pamela is looking for employment! If anyone knows of a good position in the Houston area for a girl with lots of experience looking cute, or something requiring marginal acting abilities, call. Perhaps even relationship counseling- lots of experience here...

So thanks everybody, we are at 78 members so only 22 to go and I will draw for the FREE Five Red Dice T-Shirt, so spread the word to all your friends, family, and the strange guy at work that mumbles a lot.
