yahooooooo!

i'm going shopping for the salvation army's 'not-forgotten' box today.
(which benefits underprivileged families....making sure they have a christmas.
my company is a HUGE sponsor of this program every year.)

this is soooo much fun!

Awesome.

make sure the m16s you buy are as realistic looking as possible. as a former kid, i can testify that it just doesn't feel like killing another kid when there's an orange tip on the barrel.

Those Salvation Army people are completely insane.

i absolutely refuse to buy guns for this thing.
call me a stick-in-the-mud, if you must. but i won't do it.
my favorite to get: skateboards and sleds.

So instead of the fake gun route, you go for something that can and will cause bodily harm.

yeah. but at least i'm not promoting violence.

My most violent years were spent on a skateboard.

I am totally fucking with you....it's Monday morning and I don't want to be working.

Good for you and your toy thingy.

The M16 is only cool with the grenade launcher attached anyway. They wouldn't thank you.

Get Spirograph or something else that doesn't a) make a noise or b) require batteries.

Remember they're underpriviliged, they can't afford to go out and buy 4 AA batteries every week.

Good Lord, Diesel.

"I approve this message".

That is so cool.

I'm jealous. I love to send other peoples money.
Right now I spend a lot of the credit card companies money, and keep the stuff for myself.

yep. that's exactly what we keep in mind.

man, that was soooo fun!!!

we found bikes on sale for $25! we got a ton of them. yay! i love doing this!

Do you feel a little more Christmasy now? I'm thinking once I buy the first gift and start baking cookies, it'll finally hit me that it is very near Christmas.

yes! i do! i keep imagining how excited the kids will be to wake up and find a bike (or one of the many other cool things we bought) under their tree.

Awesome.
