Posts: 10779 December 4, 2012 7:56 PM "Old Iron Taint"	Remove this ad I'm sending mine tomorrow night. I was out of stamps like an idiot and had to catch an early flight today. Ask 2Beez to pitch in. He's got extra cash now and it would calm some folks down. "if I were in the habit of throwing away shirts I've puked on, I wouldn't have had any shirts left." - Timster96, 29 SEP 2010

My donation plus $ for the bacon package. You keep track of the days that you DO drink? Monsignor If you're drinking because your life is awesome, then you're doing the right thing. TheHeb

I hope it helps brighten someone's day. "if I were in the habit of throwing away shirts I've puked on, I wouldn't have had any shirts left." - Timster96, 29 SEP 2010

Meet just inside the doors on the left side as you are facing the building. If you get there late, head for the middle of the store and look for a bald guy with a list and a bunch of carts around him. This is NOT the Shopko by East Towne Mall. It's over near the airport, off Aberg. Repeat: NOT the East Towne Mall Shopko... Lots of help is needed, and no talent to speak of. You show up. I give you a list with a person's holiday gift wish list. You go off and get whatever you want (within limitations of budget and sanity, natch). Then you come back and get another list. At the end, we take it all up to the counter and watch the checkout clerks infarct. Then we go out for a beer. Wrapping is on Saturday, starting at 9:00 am at Pooley's. 5441 High Crossing Boulevard, Madison. Bring your own scissors with your name on them. Please come and help. Both events are kid-friendly. In fact, it's really useful to have kids at Shopko on Friday night because a 10-year-old is better at buying gifts for another 10-year-old than you are. It also teaches them valuable life lessons about doing good. And it is fun, and you can learn all kinds of new words from Mr. Hill and Mr. 76. But we are dying for more help at Shopko on Friday night, and it would be great if you could come. The wrapping is just plain fun. Talent: NOT required. Please let me know by replying to this post if you are able to make either event or both.

Seriously, this is the highlight of my Christmas season. For those in the area, come out and wrap just one present for some child who otherwise would not get one. Thanks Joe Hill for organizing once again. x

I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn't itch. Gilda Radner Edited 1 time by AKA TAW December 11, 2012 8:01 AM.

Well, looks like I have some serious goals to achieve Friday night after work. Ripping the gophers is like popping bubble wrap. It's being suspended in a boundless state of otherworldly, unchallenged superiority. It's like picking up a magic golf club that makes you stripe every ball 325 yards perfectly down the middle. The domination is so effortless, so intoxicating that you never come to the point that makes you say "OK, that one sucked, I've had enough." - ryebadger, 11/18/10

I can get a gift covered but it's not going to have perfect corners and I like to use tape to cover up my mistakes. What a cretin. It must be tough to face the media when everyone in the room knows the other coach just came into your building, with less talent (on paper), and drank your fucking milkshake - again.

TAW, what's the running total at for donations? "we the exiles spend most of our waking days plotting our return" - Tristan, regarding the Badger diaspora from Madison

I believe kjake put us over $7,500, plus whatever went directly to M/M Joe Hill, who don't tell me when they receive funds because they enjoy blowing up my spreadsheets and/or watching my head explode.
