This is my first Snakes on a Plane themed birthday party. Here are some pictures from the event:
We’ve already seen a couple iterartions of Snakes on a Plane safety cards (one made by a fan, one made by New Line), but this one by Derek is really impressive:
Also, I’ve gotten a lot of emails over the last few days and weeks with things for me to post. Alas, I’ve been falling behind. If you’ve sent me something and I haven’t responded, feel free to send it again if you want, but I’ll probably get to it. I have a big file of things to put online… I’m trying to get to everything, I swear.

Back in April there was a guy claiming he would get a Snakes on a Plane tattoo if enough money was raised. Well, nobody cared enough to pay for him to get the tattoo (plus, if you need to be paid, then you aren’t a true fan). We all knew that someday someone would care enough to do it just for the love of the thing. Well, that day has arrived:
Doz deserves a real Snakes on a Plane style salute (although I don’t know what that would be). He even got a write-up about the tattoo in Giant Magazine, whatever that might be.
Fan art from around the web:
And I’ve got one animated .gif, for all you fans of animation:

This series of four trailers was produced by a radio show, so I don’t think it strictly qualifies as fan productions, but let’s give them a chance (click on an image to hear the associated audio trailer):

Stiknstein is back with another Stickdeath animation entitleld “Surprise Trailer.” Again, click on the thumbnail to watch it in its full animated glory:

I have heard tell of quite the adventure:
I have been involved in scientific research expeditions to Greenland for the past four years as a graduate student at the University of Michigan. This trip involves flying to the Greenlandic ice cap on a military cargo plane (a C-130) equipped with skis.
Well, you’d never guess what happened… flying commercially to the Air National Guard base in NY, there were SNAKES ON THE PLANE! And then, flying to Greenland, there were MORE SNAKES ON THE PLANE! Even on our trip to the ice cap, SNAKES WERE ON THE PLANE!
And so they were:
There are also more, non-snakes related, pictures of Dan’s trip.

Will, otherwise known as stikNstein, has produced two more Snakes related stickdeath animations. He’s prolific. As always, click on the image below to see it animated.

EAA AirVenture is “the world’s greatest aviation celebration.” I’ll bet you wondering what their security cards looked like, right? Well, here you go:
I’ve gotten a few reports about the teaser posters actually appearing in theaters around the country, here’s the first picture I’ve seen of it:
That was from Berkeley, California, I just saw one up in Ann Arbor, Michigan (I’m travelling), where else has it been seen?
Update: Here’s some new pictures of posters from around the country… anybody take more?
A new Stickdeath from Will, this one is deals with Roger Ebert and his hatred, HATRED, of irony (how timely). As always, click on the image below to see it animated:

Up until now, only English speakers could enjoy all that is Snakes on a Plane. Well, that is no longer the case. This Snakes on a Plane site is on a french server and, unsurprisingly, written mostly in French (with the phrase “snakes on a plane” being the major excpetion). I’ve gone to the trouble of snagging thier content, but I’m sure they’ll be updating so you should consider checking their site regularly if, you know, you’re french. Here’s what they’ve got:
They’ve even got a comic:
Can anyone translate this?

A few days ago our friend Matt sent in a picture of his Kindergarten class holding up drawings they had made of the teaser poster, and, despite some controversy in the comments, we all found it cute. So cute, in fact, that Matt sent in a second picture of his class, as well as the coloring book pattern he made for his kids (it’s big so you can print it out and use it for your kids, too):
At the time Matt mentioned that he had a children’s version of the Snakes on a Plane story that he had been telling to his class and I asked him to type it up for us. It’s long, so I’m only going to put the first paragraph before the jump, but follow the link and you can read the whole thing. He asked me to preface the story by saying, “It may seem lame when you’re reading it, but with the right dramatical storytelling… it is a classic!” Here we go:
Once upon a time, in Hawaii, there was a man named Job having a good time at a luau. When the luau ended, Job threw his pineappled ham into the trash and went to his car. As he was unlocking his car, he heard… “HELP ME!!! PLEASE HELP ME!” Someone was in trouble. Now Job was a good man, so he decided to go find out who was screaming and see if he could help. He walked towards the voice, but he turned the corner…he saw something that he would NEVER forget! Twenty feet in front of him he saw Mr. No-Good, the infamous Hawaiian villain whom no one had ever seen before, steeling an old woman’s purse and cookies. Now Job was a good man and wanted to help the old woman, but he didn’t want Mr. No-Good to find out who he was, so he ran to the police station. As he burst through the doors he began shouting, “I JUST SAW MR. NO-GOOD STEALING COOKIES OUTSIDE”.
