Need Help with a Birthday Present for April 12, 2005

[BradfordBenn]

Hello All-

I just became an uncle today. So I want to get my niece a cool gift. I figure my sister-in-law will kill me if I get a 12 hour old a motorcycle :brow

So I had to come up with another idea, so I thought it would be cool to get a bunch of newspapers from the day she was born. I want to get papers from all over, large and small. I will even pay postage. (Using stamps.com I can actually send you the postage)

So if you can help me out, please let me know - email or PM is great. Once I get them all together I am going to put them in a nice wooden box with a bow on it. So that she can know what the world was like the day she was born. Kind of a time capsule.

Thanks!

this is a great idea. go to a bookstore and snag a copy of the onion too, for some good humor. :-D

Take a picture of the sunrise on her birthday.

What a neat idea. I've got the April 12th Ann Arbor News here, and all I need is an address for mailing. Don't worry about postage. PM or e-mail me.

Great Idea. But I will have to make a small change since I wasn't an Uncle when the sun rose. I wonder if she will know the difference between a sunrise and a sunset....

Aunt Jennifer said I couldn't do that... however she did pickup a copy of the Onion on your suggestion.

Ok, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Akron Beacon Jopurnal, Ashland Times-Gazette, and the Medina Gazette are in the collection.

you want this months ON, includes an unused ballot. (nobody worth voting for)

I imagine she is to young to read, but it is a beautiful illustrated book that she will grow into, and the magic woven through the story will be part of her childhood.

Or Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" The monsters in the story can be under her bed during her childhood (not really, they are about a frightening as Shrek

babies are pretty stupid so i'll bet you could pull this off. ;)

I'll try and get you a Dallas Morning News even though I'm a day late. If so, it's on me.

You do realize we'll have to refer to you as "Uncle Benn" from here on in.

Get it? . . . Uncle Benn?

[bigfoot105]

I have the Anchorage Daily News for you.

You must get her "Arthur the Farting Dog", it is the funniest childs book I have ever read. Its on the nightime rotation in my house. What other childs book does the term rectal Flatulance get said?

[Visian]

BB -- sorry I missed this yesterday. Great idea.

I'll go pick up yesterday's Atlanta Journal and Constitution.

DOHP! :doh

I'll send you my snail mail...

[James.A]

Brad, send me your address and I will send the Peoria Journal-Star, and the Wall Street Journal.

[bigfoot105]

The Anchorage Daily News went out this A.M. Its headed your way. Now your family can be just as bored with it as I was.

Great Idea and Congradulations! :thumb

[BradfordBenn]

Thanks. This is going to be so cool.

[RTRandy]

Brad,

My friend still has his copy from yesterday and while it was read only once, it still has every single page and looks decent. I also made him tell me under oath that it was never read while on the John or the vicinity of a bathroom so we're good to go. :thumb
