$6.66 Here's a special thank-you to Mr. Timothy Flammers, from Emory, for his "mark of the beast" donation.  Everyone else should feel free to allude to all sorts of cultural and historical, even sexual things with your donation amounts, i.e. $10.66 battle of hastings donation $69.69 that yin/yang oral sex thing donation $2,001.00 a space odyssey donation $ google a google donation (how many of you didn't know that google is an actual number?  I remember Carl Sagan explaining it on that "Cosmos" show he had on PBS back in the early 80s.  It's some astronomically huge number with thousands of zeros behind it.  It would make a great donation 10:47:48 PM    comment [] the menthol box not taken Tonight, looking for a modest but meaningful project to undertake, I walked down my street at a leisurely pace, waiting for genius to strike. After walking no more than half a block, I spotted a crushed cigarette pack on the ground (Newport, Menthols, just like Rachel smokes). I figured that the menthol box had probably been lying there for a long time with no excitement or activity, and that its future would probably equally uneventful. Maybe a gust of wind would blow it along, or maybe a squirrel might skitter across it, by and by, but otherwise it would just lie there. 7:31:24 PM    comment [] So, I decided my project would be to flip the menthol box over to its other side. Once this was done, I took some photos and walked back to my house. I'm sure no one will ever notice the difference.....   .........yet in some way this universe will never be the same. (Oh, and by the way: we need to get the ball rolling on the Paper Towel shirt funds.  I don't even have enough donations yet to buy the paper towels (and I'm actually out).  So let's not just sit there at home and think the "other guy" is going to donate that five bucks for the amazing paper towel project, because in reality, there is no other guy.  Ultimately there is only YOU (and you're credit card). Plus, there's this dream I've always had of getting rich( or at least paying my bills plus drinking money) by doing pointless, silly projects.  I mean, come on, one of us has to make it doing the pointless silly project thing. So, come on.  Send me $5. 7:30:22 PM    comment []
