WHAT YOU CAN GET EDSBS FOR CHRISTMAS

All I want for Christmas is Steve Spurrier at Auburn. And that’s all.

In all seriousness, these guys are really doing great work and are a model for other such programs across the nation. A lot of people from my university have worked and interned there and I’ve applied for the next semester. Switch from Grolsch to Bud light for a couple of weekends and give the rest to these guys. I mean really after the third one they all start to taste the same anyway.

You’re a good man, Charlie Brown.

…governance and common sense have broken down…

That does sound like the Aubarn Athletic Department. Or Raleigh, NC, home of the $2 billion deficit.

@1, I take it you’re a Bama fan?

“Most refugees come from places where governance and common sense have broken down completely, business has ground to a halt, education is scanty at best, and the very mouth of hell itself has opened up and disgorged its contents onto the ground where they live.”

But lots come from places other than Tennessee, right?

Re #6: Some are from Ohio.

And, Orson, consider your Christmas wish granted — at least from this end.

Good cause and glad to help out. Hope you hit your goal.

@6
awesome. +1

Oh, and I’ll pony up, too.

Dammit, Orson…

Between the fund raisers for my co-workers’ kids’ schools, and the forced “charitable” giving my own son’s catholic school crams down our throats, we’re just about tapped out for end-of-year donations. However, I can’t stands those damn bell-ringers outside of the grocery store, so I’ll go ahead and toss a few bucks to your charity of choice. It’s the least I can do considering the year-long free entertainment I get from yourself, Holly, and Freek. Happy holidays, EDSBS, and everyone else out there.

Dr. Bundy, Devil Grad, et al—

Thank you. And since I know broke-ass law and undergrad students read this site, too, we will say this: they’ll take five bucks off your debit card, too. It all adds up.

What a great idea, Orson. My sister worked with some of the Lost Boys refugees who landed in Phoenix. Awesome guys, hard working, and thankful for everything they have.

Seconding Dr. Bundy.
As much as I read EDSBS during the week, a small donation is the least I could do.

I’m hoping this investment pays off when KU signs 5-star DE Thierry Ingabere in the class of 2015.

“governance and common sense have broken down”…I know it is simply a matter of degree, but this is an apt description of our own current leadership morass.

Seasonal Felicitations…

If you can get Tracy Wolfson to dress up as “Mrs. Klaus” I’m in for a hundo.

This broke ass law student’s in. I take a Torts exam in two hours – I need some good karma. And refugee kids need help, etc., blah, blah.

It’s a good cause and even has the promise of some sort of wacky Orson hijinks in return, how could I not donate as well?

TigerNacho,

Best of luck on torts- though Property’s probably the one that will bend you over and touch you where you bathing suit is. Count me as another law student donating money that technically isn’t mine

Count me in for $10, as I am one of those broke undergrads you wrote about.

Also, shouldn’t there be some sort of prize for the person who donates the most? I recommend that the biggest donor gets to have LSUFreek illustrate the scene of his or her choice. I’d shell out good money if I had it to have Mark Dantonio choking the hell out of DickRod with a necktie.

Done and done.

Anything for you Orson. You know, anything that doesn’t require me to dress up like Little Bo Peep.

And the song?

“All I Want for Christmas is My Tebow Back,” undoubtedly.

Sounds like a good cause, I’m in.

First you beat Bama to stop their undefeated season and now this. You Gators are really making Christmas wishes come true this year.

Was “An Cat Dubh” on boy? My favorite U2 song not named “Gloria”

OK Orson – even though that *&^%$ Tebow ruined my Christmas, I’ve sprung to brighten theirs.

Now, any 5 stars out of this program come to Bama, right?

Merry Christmas to All

Consider it done, Orson. Interestingly enough, both Mohamed Massaquoi and Rennie Curran are the children of Liberian refugees. Not sure about Massaquoi, but I know that Curran’s family housed refugees while he was growing up and, at times, there were as many as 12 people living in his house.

Nice work Orson!

By the way, my high school soccer team got CRUSHED by Clarkston High in the state playoffs back in ’93. I think they had 17 internationals on the team from like nine countries. According to the article in the AJC, their goalie spoke five languages.

In particular I remember two tall Ethiopian brothers who might have weighed 250 lbs put together. They could absolutely put a clown suit on you.

$31.20 donated.

Where else can you do something well-meaning for the world and mean-spirited towards your rival?

Pogue – that was on Boy. “Dubh” is the only word of Gaelic I know, thanks to that title.

We should be able to come up with some other bizarre and entertaining activities.

How ’bout Orson or Holly reliving the Gators/Vols season to us through interpretive dance?

Orson v. T. Kyle King in a paintball match?

Anyway, glad to help.

Done. You never cease to amaze me, O.

Orson,

You know pretty well that I got layed off and don’t have much cash at the moment.

Merry Christmas though. I’ll still scrap something together for TCOAN.

Your B-I-L,

That 5.0 Guy

Thanks Orson. Just donated… its the least I can do for all the time I spend on this site.

We’ll let T. Kyle King shoot us with a paintball gun while wearing a Tebow mask and a jersey if you people raise $10,000 bucks.

OhioDawg, I was actually hoping to put together an Orson versus Kyle blindfolded toothpick fight to the death at my Christmas Party, but the organizers of the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl stole my idea.

I’ll sell one of my teef and donate the proceeds.

Salutations!

A wonderful idea: I am happy to donate. It may not be the largest sum, but it may travel the largest distance (from my computer in Buenos Aires, Argentina).

Well played.

I think I saw this before here, it had to be here…Can you post values from people rooting for diff schools. Get some competition going perhaps? Or would baby Jesus frown on that sort of thing?

Donation made: it took about 90 seconds.

While on a Fulbright in the Philippines, I visited a refugee center for South Vietnamese on an island in the remote Palawan archipelago. It was unknown — and incomprehensible — to me that there were refugees from that war, living behind barbed wire, decades after the fall of Saigon. . . . The point is that we should all be thankful for what we have.

Done.

I first learned about Clarkson from an NYT article on the Fugees (who play that ‘other’ kind of football). It’s gut wrenching. May your flavor of deity look kindly upon them this holiday season.

i know this has been asked before…
but how much do we have to donate to get “show all comments” to be the initial screen we navigate to from the homepage?!

-freaking scrooge

@42 – eleventy billion cocktails to you. i agree.

Done and done. Plus a little extra on behalf of all the grad students who would otherwise have to pick up all their scattered Red Dog cans to raise enough scratch to pony up themselves. Orson, you magnificent bastard, Merry Christmas.

I know some people who have volunteered and lived in the refugee community in Clarkston. Very inspired by what I heard. Their challenges are formidable. A most worthy cause. I’m in.

I’m in, I love the site.

Done. This site brings me so much freaking joy every day, it’s the least I can do.

Orson, Holly and Freek,

for the countless hours of entertainment, enlightenment and just plain good times I get from this site, it would be an honor to support this worthy cause.

Thanks so much for making my working hours more enjoyable. 100+ cocktails and the happiest of holidays to you all.

Just submitted mine. Thanks for everything, Orson.

okay, I typically ignore charities but this actually sounds like a worthy cause

and I don’t even expect this to count as credit toward keeping me from being banned from EDSBS … but it would be nice

You got it. 36.00 big ones. Best score ever…fear the Nick. :-) So sorry that poor ole barners won’t be able to donate. No problems, bama comes to the rescue!
