It's not quite in the league of the Saab Bumper Memorial Fund (something like $7500 last I looked), but it's fairly novel. Bourbon Street is, of course, the American Mecca of flashing. Now someone has established a site wherein you can donate to charity in exchange for access to a collection of topless flasher pics. The charities are well-known, like the Red Cross, and you donate to them directly, then forward your e-mail receipt to the web site; it seems to be on the up-and-up. The pictures likewise are donated (though I'm reasonably sure *those* don't go to the Red Cross). Disclaimer: I am not affiliated in any way with the site, its creators, or the persons sending in the pics. I just think it's a pretty slick idea. And not just because I think it'd annoy Pat Robertson. On the topic of creative disaster-relief concepts, has anyone else here seen Boobs4BourbonSt?

The Saab Bumper story <i><b>didn't</b></i> end up like in the movies? Fire the writer. (I'm sure Hollywood can, and quite possibly will, make a feature ilm about this story, with Charlie Sheen as the Saab Bumper guy, Charlize Theron as his wife, Matt Damon as Mike, and Winona Ryder as the fianceé. Plus lots of bit parts for the gruff yet warm mechanic, maybe Tim Robbins as the cop... any other suggestions/replacements?) Holy shit. The Saab Bumper story didn’t end up like in the movies?

No, Adam wasn't there (he's "working") but it certainly was a good time nonetheless. Since it was their second show, they taped one of those "historical" ones they use when everyone decides to go on vacation. So whenever you hear the one with an (undestandably) intense discussion about "prostate warmers", well that's the one. I got Carl's autograph on the cassette of my phone message and got to meet the lovely Emily Ecton and Amanda Gibson (eat your hearts out, boys). And Adam, Emily has something for you from me. I figure she was the only one of that crew I could trust with it. Just know that the bottle was full and the distinctive red wax seal was intact when I gave it to her.

That whole thing ended up being far more fascinating than I could ever have expected. There are a lot of morals to that story, not the least of which is that the moral high ground is an awfully slippery place. I even forwarded the link as a discussion topic to philosophy colleagues.

He is able to see the other person's side, able to question his own motives, able to change his mind, able to come to a conclusion that is financially detrimental to himself. No conservative on earth has ever done any of these things. Adam, it’s pretty obvious that your friend is a real liberal.

The incident has come to a very interesting conclusion. I will be making my pledged donation this evening.
