My Efforts at Bribery (Extortion) Have Fallen Short of Making Me Wealthy.

Last night, Anon GF asked me when I'd be taking that "Bribery Fundraising" thermometer off of my sidebar and I said, "Yeah, I've been thinking about getting rid of that."

And then she said, "You do know you have to donate the money somewhere, don't you?"  I glared at her thinking of my ill-gotten $7.43, and said, "Oh yeah, I just read a post on Janiece's Blog looking for money for a worthy cause."  (I said this as if I hadn't been thinking of just whisking off to Bermuda with the results of my bribery.)

Anyway, my thermometer is now down, Team Gonzalez is a little closer to their goal of raising money toward Cancer Research (and that much closer to having to shave their heads)!  And you'll all be happy to know that since I would have been embarrassed to donate only $7.43,  I dipped into my own pocket a little. So, my little plan to retire on the generosity of the internet has backfired and actually cost me money.

Why don't you go spend some cash there too!

Thanks, Nathan. You're a real peach.

What, The Human Fund wasn't a legitimate enough charity?
