Re: water *sigh* Well, I'm hanging onto my image of tiny Damian trying desperately to climb into a glass of water to get big again, because I love it.
The way this story's shaping up, it sounds like Teeny OK Go should always have been teeny--they don't need a full-sized backstory, I think ... They seem like always-have-been-teeny entities. They're OK Go's little evil doppelgangers.
Owner of Little Dami:
I was watching an odd sci-fi show about a shrinking man. He didn't know what to do. One day he got real small and fell into a glass of water. Suddenly just like that, he became big again. But then he started to grow and grow and grow. I got bored and wanted to flip the channel. "Hey wait, I'm watching that!" Little Damian said. I looked up to see Little Damian perched on top of the sofa. Tiny Tim and Diminutive Dan sat on the floor under the coffee table. "This is boring," Tiny Tim said. "Yeah," I agreed. "No, it's scientific!" Little Damian insisted. "Seems more like a cheap copy of 'Alice in Wonderland' to me," Diminutive Dan shrugged. "Just you watch!" Little Damian insisted. "Andy! Get over here!" Runty Rusty obediently but somewhat reluctantly emerged from the pantry. Little Damian looked toward me. "Get a glass of water," he told me. "Cold or hot?" I asked. "Doesn't matter. Whatever they used in the movie." A few minutes later, I came back with lukewarm water in a large tea cup.
"Alright Andy," Little Damian said. "What?" Runty Rusty asked. "Hop in!" "Why?" "Because! I don't wanna get wet." "Neither do I." "Fine. Tim you do it." "No, I think I'll pass the ball back to you, Damian." "What are you planning anyway," I asked Little Damian. "Watch! Here hold my coat and shoes." He wriggled out of his shoes and coat and passed them to me to hold. So tiny they were in my normal sized hand. He jumped in the cup w/ a splash. We all stared at him waiting for something to happen. He kept hoping in and out of the water but nothing happened. "Are you trying to make yourself grow to Big People size?" I asked. "It worked in the movie!" He insisted. "Just because it's on tv doesn't mean it's real." I said. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Oh well....Hey, bring me a towel! This water is cozy. Get me some rose petals. Oh, and can't you do something to make this water fizz?"
Little Damian had created his own hot tub and was completely unwilling to share w/ his other friends. But ah well, it kept him quiet if not demanding."
Ok, I finally caught up on everything and I must say, Tempe, you are an absolute genius!! You had me giggling and awww-ing, they're all fantastic stories!
I can see these being released as picture books someday! Really, really good picture books! They have that whimsical feel and the illustrations could be provided by all the talented photoshoppers we have here!
Well, until Kim can come back, I made a few things. These are not worthy of Tempe's stories, but here's a paltry attempt to illustrate her marvelous teeny epic:
I don't know if you're interested in this type of thing, Krista. If you are, I'll post the others.

Aww, I'm touched

Lol, like grow your own date? I have a hillarious little "Grow Your Own Nerd" that you place in water and it grows to bigger size.
Goodness, i love you guys!!! Seriously, where else but the OK Go forum would you find people dedicating a myspace to teeny rockstars?!
I love it!
All of it, but I just have to bring out these quotes:
Btw, I had never heard of "Grow Your Own Date." That's pretty funny
You are tons better than JK Rowling- I don't care how much money she makes

Aww *blushing* No one's ever called anything I've done delicious. You're all too kind.
Now, get me some rose petals!
Psst, click the smilie.
Love the new story, Tempe! Damian would definitely try and get Andy to hop in first.
I vote for the Teenies having always been teeny.
Edit: Aww, Sheri. You just beat me.
You had me giggling and awww-ing, they're all fantastic stories!
