Q: What is Snoopy?
A: Snoopy is a doll dressed in his Red-Baron outfit.  He was thrown from the Polka Dots Parade in Mobile, AL on February 4, 1999 as part of Mardi Gras.

Q: How can I get Snoopy?
A: Currently, Snoopy is going to a list of miscreants that call CoFD their home.  If you are on CoFD, you should e-mail me and include the code phrase posted on 2/12/99.  If the code phrase is not included, you will not be added to the list.  This is to prevent non-CoFD people from getting Snoopy until all on CoFD who want the beagle have had it.  Once all who want it get their turn, then I'll probably accept stuff from more people.

Q: What do I do when I get Snoopy?
A: You take pictures of him.  Where?  Doing What?  All up to you.  It would be nice to get one picture in front of a local landmark.  Other than that, use your imagination.

Q: What do I do with the pics?
A: You scan them and e-mail them to miracle@procyon.com.  You should scan them at 150dpi unless it is a zoom in.  You should also write HTML and personalize your time with Snoopy.

Q: What should my HTML look like?
A: It can look however you'd like it to look.  You may have other graphics, thumbnails, or whatever your creative little head comes up with.  I suck at HTML writing, so my page shouldn't be used as a model.  I would like to see different HTML designs to show the creativity, variability, and uniqueness of each Snoopy recipient.

Q: How should I lay out my HTML files?
A: You will be assigned a directory by me.  The main page should be index.html.  All other pages you create should be linked to this page.  Please remember to watch your caps and spaces in file-names.  I don't want to go around correcting minor errors for all the pages sent to me.

Q: Can I have a banner on my HTML page?
A: No.  Advertising is currently not permitted on the site.  If you sent me HTML with an ad, I will remove it.  You are, however, allowed to put a text link to your home page if you wish.

Q: How long do I get to keep Snoopy?
A: You should try to keep him no longer than a week.  This should be sufficient time to enjoy Snoopy and take pics, while allowing others to get him and the site to get updated more often.  If unforseeable events occur in your personal life that do not allow you to take Snoopy off on his adventure, please mail him to the next person on the list and then inform me.  Your name can be placed at the end of the list and hopefully things will be a little calmer when you next see Snoopy.

Q: Where do I mail Snoopy when I'm Done?
A: You should mail him to the next person on the list, as found at www.auburn.net/~miracle/snoopy.  You should contact them by e-mail to get their address.  You should also contact me (miracle@procyon.com) so that I can update the site appropriately.

Q: How big is the Snoopy Package?
A: He was sent out from me in a 14x14x14 (inches) cube.  If the box is still intact, and people are recycling, that's what he'll arrive in.

Q: How much does the package weigh?
A: The package weighed 3 pounds when I sent him off.

Q: How much did it cost you to mail it?
A: It cost me $5 plus change, US dollars.  I sent it USPS priority mail.  Your price may vary due to changes in weight, box size, distance sent, and mail service you choose.

Q: Can I mail it UPS ground or USPS ground?
A: I would prefer that you picked a slightly faster method, so that others can get it in a timely fashion and the site can be updated frequently.  If you cannot afford a slightly faster method, this is acceptable.  Of course, if you have the money, overnight would be great for people further down the list.

Q: I can't afford to send Snoopy overseas.  What should I do?
A: You should contact me.  You will be assigned the next person on the list who is in your country.  Send it to them, and hopefully they will be able to send it overseas.

Q: Your site sucks.  Is there anything I could do to help?
A: Yes.  I don't have the time or energy to write a neat HTML site.  If you have a neat page design, sent it to me.  I don't want advertising on the site, but I will allow you to place a link (graphic ant text) to any work you do so that you get appropriate credit and a little kick-back.

Q: Can I write a newspaper article on your site?
A: Yes you may.  I ask that you contact me beforehand.  Also, if your article is published, I ask that it is scanned and sent to me so that it may be displayed on the site.

Q: Can I send you money?
A: Sure.  No problem.  Checks under $1000 will be altered to my liking.

Q: Will you take my daughter to be your love slave?
A: As long as it is legal to do so in the State of Alabama, I will.  She must pay rent, room and board, and cover all other expenses.  I offer no guarantee of satisfaction - for her at least...
