The Inevitable Donor Drive (Semi-Sticky)

You hate this. I hate this. It's annoying for you and demeaning for me.

I can't even offer totebags like PBS does. This site is a Greenpeace... For Evil. And evil just doesn't happen, folks.

So if you like the site and you've got $40 bucks in your pocket that will just go towards unnecessary expenditures like medicine for your children, hey, why not skip that wasteful spending and drop the money on me?

It would really help. I incurred a lot of expenses in moving and I'm now, ludicrously, attempting to get by only on crazy blog-money to see if it's possible. I've got a couple more advertisers who will help in that, but they're not ready to go yet. (On the plus side, I'm taking down Google ads, which nets me like a cool thirty-seven cents a day.)

This old begging post should put you in the mood to donate.

This PayPal button in the left sidebar (just under the ads and headlines) will take you to the PayPal donation site. Note: The button I had here in the post didn't seem to be working. But the sidebar button seems to. Or at least it works for me.

Remember, you don't actually need a PayPal account to donate. I just need one to receieve that sweet blog money. All you need is a debit or credit card. You can even make a donation by a check, electronically. I think you just have to provide the account number and check number of one of your checks to do that.

So, what can I give back? Well, I can get my act together and start doing some serious blogging again. (It's been an uninspired and busy month, I know.)

But I also can shed a little of my anonymity. Some of you want to know what I look like; well, here's a picture of me and my neighbor's cat, Mr. Peppers.* It's a very sexy pic. But you're only allowed to click on it if you donate. Honor system, guys.

* WARNING: Photo may not actually be of me and Mr. Peppers.

Don't Be Dick Like Spongeworthy: A jackass who wrote:

Just the other day I was thrashing a street urchin with my ebony walking stick and almost $50 fell out of my coat and I was so worn out from beating the little monkey that I just left it on the street! Fortunately another fairly prosperous looking fellow was in the area and was able to scoop up the money before the urchin could crawl over to get it.

...

So, in closing, let's just say "Not this year" and leave it at that, okay? Let's not have an embarassing scene here.

If he had just stopped beating that urchin and grabbed the money, I'd be on easy street, like he is.

The button below doesn't seem to be working. I'm just tucking it in here in case it starts working again later, so I can easily move into the body of the post.
