THE SWINDLE INDUSTRIES CHARITY BOWL

Go Gators…….let’s win this one.

Do corporate matching gifts count? My Red Cross donation is 50 (Cocks are on the board), but my company will match all of that through an official coprorate mathcing program with Red Cross… should I just forward both receipts (Red Cross and my company’s matching gift confirmation) for a total of $100? Thanks for doing this, O and Kevin.

O:
Fantastic idea, you dubious do-gooder!

I’ve eaten at that Checker’s.

turn that flag back right side up, comrade.

I think you should allow the more shallow fans to donate and have their donation subtracted from a rival schools total

if you find the spirit of giving has overwhelmed you once you’ve taken part in this effort, please consider a small donation to help those affected by widespread flooding in ecuador, bolivia and peru. thousands remain homeless and the impact on food supply is expected to be devastating.

Way more fun than collecting canned food.

Color me shallow, but I adore Stranko’s idea. I would make it a personal crusade to keep Arizona’s donation in the negative if given the chance.

Interesting angle… the anti-donation. Maybe we can pull that out on Wednesday (the last day) to give it a twist. Orson?

1. - +100 for the idea. How big of a donation would it take for EDSBS to play Rocky Top upon entering? I’m not a UT fan or anything, I’m just throwing that out there.

I’d try to bury Clemson, but Kenneth Page would put up quite a fight.

Agreed. The “Spite Against Blight” Round on Wednesday should feature it.

This could get awesomely twisty and require algebra to properly execute—-say you want to knock off your most hated rival, but by doing so, you’ll vault your SECOND most hated rival to the top spot…..[brain explodes like Mars Attacks alien]

Early precinct reports as of 11a:

1) Florida – $200
2) LSU – $75
3t) South Carolina – $50
3t) FSU – $50

(everyone else is below the $50 mark)

Welfare checks don’t get passed out in Tennessee until Thursday, so, don’t look for UT to dominate this like the Fulmer Cup.

I guess this answers the question “What would happen if you used your powers to do good instead of evil?”

SWAB +1 – thanks for the laugh!

Off topic here:

Is the website on acid again today or is it me?

Thanks in advance.

KT

Oxfam USA doesn’t count?

The Spite Against Blight, eggggggscellent.

And Jon, flying the stars and stripes upside down is a signal for distress. kinda apt from the looks of that scene.

I second DC Trojan and would like to nominate the Salvation Army for eligibility. Red Cross gets nan of my money after Katrina.

MSU is on the board. With my pending trip to Vegas, I better stock up on the good deeds while I can.

I bet Jamar Hornsby would be happy to donate a chunk of change from his credit cards

Would love to help but, I’m waiting on the insurance claim guy. Tree blew down Sunday and a limb went through the roof and ceiling right over the bathtub. Donations for deductible? Oh well, thought I would try.

BTW, Just an observation about the differences between male and female thought processes. Wife wanted me to go up on the roof and cover the hole with a tarp in cased it rained. I told her that the hole is over the tub, therefore …no problem. How would they ever survive without us.

CONTEST UPDATE:

1) Florida – $250
2t) South Carolina – $100
2t) Oklahoma – $100
2t) Mississippi State – $100
3) LSU – $75

Four hours in and we’re up over $800. Excellent! Keep ’em coming

How many copies of Herschel’s book would it take to construct a temporary shelter?

I’ve sent the idea along to a website called dandydon.com. The guy has a very large and loyal LSU following so I hope he’ll post a link to your idea. If he does I’m sure that many LSU fans will want to donate. I figure we owe it to the rest of the country, and world honestly, to help out as everyone has done for us since those bitches Katrina and Rita came and ruined our fun times. Great idea guys. This is the first time that I can actually say, and mean, that I don’t care what school wins.

Yet another demonstration of S-E-C Speed!

You may know it as Myanmar but it will always be Burma to me…

Wolverines score in bunches now…no more trying to keep it close.

I’m a pilot who has participated in some interesting airllifts over the years—how about a closed field near New Orleans without a control tower? If they’d let aid workers in, a lot can get done. Juntas suck.

Those of you who pray, send a prayer or two up for the victims of the nasty earthquake in China too.

This was a great idea, Orson. Mother earth can be a vindictive old hag sometimes.
