Alright, assuming I got everything correct the grand total is 82,821.32 miles. Which doesn't include trips that took place in the same city or in one case where Cutethulhu went from Stuttgart, Germany to Germany cause that makes no sense.
Longest trip was 11,222.59 miles from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Daejeon, South Korea.
Google Maps does not recognize the existence of Wesley Chapel, Florida.

Also, you should totally add me in between Sabs and James, since I'm in the middle of them anyway.
[Edit]
Also, also, it looks way more blue in your photos than in your hand. Wow.
Arch,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_goGR39m2k
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Yah, corrected.
Feral - Nah, photograph him however you like. Although all the cool kids are doing it on their heads. :P
Face Twit Rav Gram
...and Jewcar. :P
Face Twit Rav Gram
Also, Arch, you cheat! We're going to take him to the aquarium HERE.
If you're in Hawai'i by the time he reaches Poshniallo or myself I'll send him along to you there as well.
Face Twit Rav Gram
well
I will take him to the SUPER aquarium!
Though I'm not expecting to get him until... spring 2010?
No one promised that this would be a quick process. :P
Face Twit Rav Gram
Winter Olympics that octopus!
Also, I like how you and Sabs are just <province>, Canada but I'm my City and Province. The inconsistency amuses me.
It's pretty easy to get lost in Saskatchewan :P
Face Twit Rav Gram
Shush, or you won't get Cutethulu until Spring 2011!
Now my name's incorrect. :P
Also, the inconsistency between American and International leaves me well-enough amused.
That guy was epic.
Yay! He needs the tropics! I assumed if worse comes to worse we can have him here (prolly) and then we can intercept him on his way back from Japan and then send him to you... or we can just get him the lst before you if we can't get him now. I dunno- orders today prolly!
Yeah, I remember checking out some of those pics. He was an awesome little guy. Didn't he get lost or something though?
There's a sizable number of PAers in Toronto. When Sabs gets it, I'm sure between the bunch of us we can get a decent number of pictures from various parts of the city and province of Ontario. Hopefully that makes up for the overall lack of Canadian involvement.
EPIC.
Good luck, Cocktopus. And godspeed.
how did I miss this whole ordeal?
a long bender?
You can probably still beg passer :P
No actually. Have I not been around lately though?
I mean I TOTALLY missed this.
[Chat] had a Poll and everything for the name of it. Passer's had it in her signature for a few days now.
A rapid succession of short benders?
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
some countries will lose mr cutethulu
can i get in on this
posting will be expensive but ill introduce cutethulu to some fine old aussie pasttimes like dodging drop bears, surfing, kangaroo boxing and bbqing.*
*i dont do any of these.**
**some of them are not real pasttimes
No to that also. . .
Mostly.
Did I miss anything else while I was busy apparently doing. . .I don't know what?
You know, I was considering driving it over there. Is that something y'all would be interested in?
It'd be cool to meet another American PAer, sure
You're in Michigan, right? Which puts you right next to Windsor. I think it's a 4 hour drive from Windsor to Toronto, if you want to make the trip. You'll have to talk to Sabs, though, as he is the listed recipient.
