I Dare You All # 4, Part 2

As you might remember I dared you all to 'Get Involved' and come up with a Dare of your own!
And did you get involved! I received many wonderful Dares, my panel of judges had a very hard time to decide! But they came up with a clear winner!

And today I will Dare you to accept the challenge of our winning Dare!

Here he is, our winner:


Mr. Chen dares you all to
come up with one creative, fun, useful way to save the environment
and put a picture of yourself doing it on your blog!


We Dare You All to accept this challenge!


Very important: Once you have posted your picture put the link to the POST into the Mr. Linky box! This way we can all immediately go and see what you did!


We will leave this Dare up until Saturday, September 20, so you have a whole week to do this!
We accept the challenge and will post our acceptance pictures Sunday, September 21.

The list of all other Dares will be posted next month and I will Dare You All to do as many of them as you possibly can!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha! - So if you sent in a Dare - keep it a secret for now...


Congratulations Mr. Chen!

Announcement

Tomorrow, Saturday, we will post the winning Dare. Out of 48 wonderful Dares that were entered the judges picked a clear winner - nevertheless, it was a very tight race!
The winning Dare has all the elements of a great Dare:

you can do it with a picture, it is for a good cause and it is extremely challenging!


Tomorrow will also be my brother-in-law
Ralph's first bridge day. Only a month after his sister Maxime went to the bridge and only five month after Miral left. Please go over and send Ruis and his family some purrs.

And as you know, only three days ago our good friend, wonderful travel partner and esteemed
CCSI colleague Roscoe was called to the bridge. His brother Opus (who can use some purrs too...) urged us to hold the Dare nevertheless because Roscoe certainly would want us to do it.

I hope you will all come by tomorrow to see who won, what the Dare is and to accept it!

Texas' Last Dare

Before he left for the bridge, Texas came up with this Dare. He was too late in handing it in to be included with all the others for voting but as this is a very grave matter we decided to devote this weekend to just do this Dare as an honor for Texas. Here we go:

We, Texas and The Cat Realm, dare you all to do something to raise money for cancer research, especially for cats.


- donate

- volunteer somewhere

- put a link to a site on your blogs

- take the
Petey challenge
- or whatever else you can come up with to help.


Here are some reputable sites you could use

Winn Feline Foundation
The CSU Animal Cancer Center

Do a post about it and let us know where you donated, or volunteered, which link you put on your blog or what else you came up with to help.


Here is your button that you may display if you accept the challenge



WE DARE YOU!
And don't forget to put your name and link
in the Mr. Linky box if you participate!

You can steal any or all of this post and post it on your blog!

Castle also has the Dare up - Storm also was a victim of this bad disease...

(The judging for our IDYA # 4 "Get Involved" is still going on! Come back next week to see who the winner is!
)

Quiet Monday

The Dare is over, Karl wrapped it up at the lodge in Africa - good thing he took the laptop - and hopefully those cats (Sassy, Momo, Opus and Roscoe) will not get in anymore trouble!!!!
We hope he will come home any moment now and stay a while!

I Dare You All...

... to come up with a Dare of your own!

One year ago at this day Anastasia went to the bridge. And instead of mourning her death today we decided to celebrate her life by holding another Dare, a tradition at The Cat Realm that she invented with her pink wig challenge.


We call this fourth Dare the "
Get Involved Dare" because we want each and everyone of you to come up with a Dare of your own. You can Dare us to do anything - no violence of course! And try to keep it kitten friendly...
A panel of judges will vote on the best Dare and the winner will be the next Dare for everybody to do!

The panel of judges was chosen from among cats and dogs who all have done outstanding efforts to bring us all together - get us involved - as a community. The list of those individuals is long but our maid insisted on keeping the number of judges small so we did have to make a selection...

I will only list one of the sometimes many of the efforts by those we chose:

Pablo for his AWESOME Footy Finals Fever competition
Nelson LaPurr for giving us MEOW LIKE A PIRATE day
Skeezix for his Halloween contest

Opus for the Mafia Movie Night

Sassy for CCSI

Gretchen for giving us Mike

Lenny for the 2008 Paw-Limpics

Monty Q. for his Do The Q! contest originally was also on this panel. As you all probably know his family lost their sweet baby Violette, so they need him for support. Our purrs and thoughts are with him and his family during this time of incredible grieve and sadness.

Every animal and human can participate, one entry per animal/human.
You have to have an active blog to participate but if you share a blog with others each one can enter.

Please try and explain your Dare in ONE sentence!!!

Email it to us at
idareyouall at gmail dot com

Enter your name in the subject line and leave your blog address with your Dare!

Deadline will be August 31, 9 pm Pacific Time, that is midnight EST.

By entering your Dare you give permission to The Cat Realm to use it in any way we see fit as long as we give you the proper credit for it.

Of course we can change these rules at any time, thank you Skeezix, hahahahahahahaha!


Please leave your name and blog address in the Linky box underneath so we know who participates!
Keep your Dare a secret, we don't want to spoil the fun!


Now get creative, you can check out our first three Dares ( #1, #2, #3 ) for inspiration and then come up with something outrageously new, funny, simple, weird, thoughtful, alien, plain, YOU name it!
Have fun!

We will make the rounds and challenge you all personally but it might take us some days to get around to everybody. And sorry Yao-Lin - we will do this alphabetically ...
If you don't find yourself on our blogroll but would like to be on there - let us know!

APPENDIX:
After we put on and do the winning Dare we will then also post ALL the other entries and dare you to do as many of them as you possibly can!

Souvenirs From Africa

I am back home and finally met Tintin. I don't know why Mrs. OZ was worried about what I might do... I am happy he is here and hope he likes his new home with us!
We started out with a little wrestling match right away! I am sure we will be good friends!


Now onward to the gifts! Of course I brought souvenirs from Africa as presents for everyone! Tintin got a pair of "training glasses" - and I will start looking around for his real ones which he will get once he gets his real teeth.

Mrs. OZ got a copper plaque in the shape of Africa, with a lion and an elephant on it.

The maid got a kanga and some Masai jewelery (Tintin needs to inspect, hahahahahahaha)

The butler got a Masai shield. Remember the rescue mission? Check out the shield that Roscoe is wearing while dancing!

Everybody liked their presents, and I think they were all happy that I am back! I am sure happy - although I already miss my Ruis who is back home with his family who are all very sad about Maxime's departure to the bridge....
BUT: I have a Dare to do! Remember: Only 2 more days! Are you ready yet.... see tomorrow....

DUYS Summary

Thank you everybody who participated in Anastasia's last Dare: Dress Up Your Staff. I hope you all had a lot of fun, we sure enjoyed it a lot and Anastasia is probably still laughing at the bridge! We didn't quiet get the entries to top the last Dare but we still put on the Groucho Marx glasses because we didn't want to fuzz about a couple of missing participants...
You can see all the entries
here.
93 mostly cats voted on their favorite entry and we have a clear viewer's favorite:
Adan, who took good revenge for being dressed up as a vishus deer this Halloween.

IDYA #3: DUYS (Dress Up Your Staff)

Here is Anastasia’s last Dare in her own words:

I Dare You All to Dress Up Your Staff. Dress up your humans in the most ridiculous, silly, weird, comical, insane, funny, humiliating, splendid, outrageous outfit you can imagine, post their picture on your blog and put your name and the link to the post in the Mr. Linky box below.”

And please, Dare your
nomss friend and if you don’t have one, make one!

Finally you can get revenge:
Let your humans experience what it feels like to be dressed up for public display!!!

As an added incentive I, Karl, decided to give a Value T-shirt of your choice from the
watgog store to the viewers favorite!
Everybody can vote on their favorite picture next Friday and Saturday (November 9 and 10). One vote per animal. Our picture is not eligible for voting.


I put the Dare up today, on the
Day of the Dead, in the hope that Anastasia’s spirit might come and dare you herself! Questions? Help? Email us!

And here are the maid and the butler, dressed up according to the written instructions Anastasia left behind:
Helpful hint: Temptations didn’t work… Try chocolate…. Each of them got a full pound of it – they still would not smile, no matter what – I was under the impression that they did not appreciate the experience….
Use of Photoshop and similar programs is strongly discouraged but if you have humans that absolutely go wild when you try and dress them up – you can use image editing as a last resort of course…
If you like the T-shirts they are wearing you can purchase them here.

If you accept the Dare you can pick up your button
here.
HAVE FUN!

Thursday Thirteen

Here are 13 reasons for you to accept IDYA#3 (I Dare You All #3) which will be posted tomorrow, Friday November 2nd at 7 am Pacific Time.

1 - Once again: you do not have to wear a pink wig.

2 - As a matter of fact: you do not have to wear ANYTHING.

3 - You can dare your nomss friend to do it too. And if you don't have a nomss friend this is a good opportunity to make one.

4 - It will be a lot of fun for you to do.

5 - You do not need Photoshop! The use of any picture editing program is actually strongly discouraged!

6 - You might feel really good after doing it.

7 - You will receive another fabulous button to put on your blog.

8 - One word: REVENGE!

9 - It will be revealing.

10 - It will be fun to watch how the others do it.

11 - It will be a bit different from what you usually do.. .

12 - If we get more participants than we had at the last Dare we will ALL wear the Groucho Marx glasses!

13 - It was Anastasia’s last Dare. She had it all written down right after the Pink Wig Challenge and then I came up with my nomss friend idea and got so excited about it that she said: “What the hell Karl. Just do it, I can wait.” She couldn’t, as it turned out. So I hope you will all accept the challenge in honor of her!


Those last two points should be reason enough for everybody to attend!!!!

Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Only 3 more days untill the next IDYA!

This Friday November 2 I will post Anastasia's last "I Dare You All"!
Check out her Halloween appearance at her
blog!

I Dare You All...

…to make a not-of-my-species-special-friend (nomss friend).

Go out, find someone who is not of your own species and make friends.

Introduce yourself and tell them why you chose them (color of their fur, feathers, scales, skin, layout and/or content of their Blog, their name, whatever it was that grabbed your attention).
Ask if they want to be your nomss friend and post about them on your Blog. Beans can of course play too!
Put the link to that post in the Mr. Linky Box at the end.

We will keep this post up for several days because I realize that this is a somewhat different challenge! It requires real effort. And time. And courage to go and talk to strangers and ask them to be friends. But I think that this is something we all need to do more these days!


You can pick up your IDYA buttons
here, they are designed so that you can put your new friend’s picture in it and is meant to be put in your sidebar with a permanent link to their blog.
We promised: no photoshop! So whoever does not have the software or skills to put their friend’s picture in the button – email us and we do it for you!

I do hope that each and every one of you accepts this challenge so we can make the blogosphere an even better and bigger community and show everybody how we cross borders and have no patience for prejudices, racism and intolerance towards others!


If you don’t know where to start looking: there are a number of links to other animal and human Bloggers at the bottom of our sidebar. There is also the animal internet. Good luck!


And remember: don’t just put your nomss friend’s picture on your Blog but treat them as true friends. Visit often, respect and support them, help them when they need it and most important: learn from how they are different from you and find your common features!

Karl - And we did accept our own challenge - SCROLL DOWN to see our post about it! And please go and say hello to our new friend Lucas.
I will leave this Dare up for at least a week - so you all have plenty of time!
