Lots Of Traffic, Few Offers

For the last few days there has been more traffic than ever, much of which I cannot even determine the source. Somebody mentioned Five Red Dice somewhere because last night I had visitors from around the world, more in one hour than ever before. But people are writing, saying cool, even occasionally making an offer but failing to follow up with photos.
Ah well, it's cyclical I believe, and the right offer is right around the corner.
Possibly the Olympics have gotten the world in a spin, I certainly have been watching Michael Phelps go golden and our gymnasts get screwed in scoring! Boo judges.
Blacksburg, VA.
Victoria, B. C. Canada
Zagreb, Croatia
Solvang, CA
Mabank, TX
Sterling Heights, MI
Porter, TX.
You all visit me a lot, thanks, but have you made an offer? Just wondering!

Of course I like the GIANT 3 foot chess set, so I e-mailed and posted that I am interested, but Mr. Chessman has vanished. Maybe just as well, I liked the set but a couple of friends did not. Chess fanatics were not thrilled with it, but they said they preferred traditional, portable sets.
The other offer that sometimes calls to me is the bus ride. But it is so local it might be hard to promote. I do consider it at times though.

Pamela and I still go out for coffee several times a week, it's our thing. People stare as if they have never seen a man out with a skeleton artwork before. Such blatant prejudice. She has a job here and we have purchased her a new bedroom set.
Yes, she has her own room, I wouldn't want you to think I take this THAT seriously!

"I Want You... To Make An Offer For Pamela"! Until You Do, Check This One Out.

I Want You To Make An Offer For Pamela

But until then I had another eclectic collection roll in, the kind that is interesting but probably impossible to trade up for something else. This one included...


English Coins

An 'M' belt buckle. (For Mizell?) Possibly also a 'W' belt buckle.


Typewriter Carbon Paper. Is This An Antique Yet?


Kinky Friedman 'Politically Correct" Salsa and Dip. Come On Now, Is It Salsa Or Is It Dip?


A Miniature Funnel.


Chicken Flavored Rice-R-Roni.
A Dairy Queen Moo-Moos Cow.
I know, I know it's Rice-A-Roni, not Rice-R-Roni, but saying Rice-A-Roni bugs a friend of mine and I could not resist.
I cannot accept a collection like this so keep sending offers please.

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!

Two Interesting Offers Come In Overnight, And The New "All Pamela Offers" Pages Are A Hit

Funny how you make one tiny tweak in life and things change. Adding new offers to the website page is so time consuming, if I want it to look right, and the blog is easy but then the past blogs kind of fade away in the archives. Yesterday I decided to give each offer for Pamela their own page and provide a quick next button to breeze through them. Instead of breezing bunches of folks spent 20, 30 minutes, even an hour checking out 30-40 pages. Not only that but the traffic and the comments I left inspired two new offers overnight. Check out the new 'All Pamela Offers' pages. Or you can start at the beginning and see All Five Red Dice Offers, and it will take you right through to the offers for Pamela also.

The first offer was from Charles in Atlanta, Georgia, and it was for his original art work. I love the piece below, so moody and mysterious, it took me a while to see it but I believe the woman is a bird. Excellent work.

Bird Woman

Charles is a person full of ideas and cool thoughts, you should check out his blog at 'Ideas By Chuck'.

The second overnight offer is from Joe in Mesa, Arizona and is for a GIANT size chess board with the pieces. The board measures three feet wide and the pieces stand four inches high. Looks like it folds too!



GIANT Chess Set

This offer has me quite intrigued, so much so that all of the Five Red Dice Vice-Presidents and their assistants have been flown to World Headquarters on this fine Sunday afternoon to consider the offer. We are waiting for additional information and photographs for any decisions to be made. Stay tuned for further details.

By the way, the 'Who Is Sexier' poll ended with Pamela Skeleton getting 5 votes, Living Pamela edging her out with 6 votes.. Pretty close voting for an inanimate object, wouldn't you say?

New Trade Offer And An Easy Place To See Every Offer Made So Far For Pamela

Five Red Dice just added some neat pages to the website where you can quickly run through the entire list of offers for Pamela, each with photos and a short comment on the trade offer, the trader, or why it was not accepted. I also changed the way many pages are displayed, going straight to the page rather than opening a new browser window. For those of you wondering what that means exactly, it means you can scoot through the pages of the website at a much faster pace. Visit all the Pamela offers here!

Rachel of Chicago, Illinois sent in an interesting offer of some original art in trade for Pamela. I love seeing new art, and appreciate the creative efforts, but it would be unlikely I would trade Pamela for another piece of art.


Bluebird

It's not that I would not consider it, all offers are considered. It's just that while the Five Red Dice project is part sociology experiment and part artistic endeavor, I want to move into some other venue, some different and new world of trades and offers when I pass Pamela along.


Nude

So by all means offer art, it is interesting to consider, and who knows? But again, unless the name Warhol is perhaps on the art it is unlikely. And if Jimmie Warhol in Topeka or Hilda Warhol in Miami are reading this, NO, I mean the real Warhol!

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


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!

And make a trade offer!

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.
