The Night to Fight Cancer—Call for Tankers

This September 17th is the Night to Fight Cancer event, and in the past the Sceptics Tank members were huge supporters and contributors.

New England area tankers can both attend and, possibly, contribute to the event.

The link on the Jimmy Fund/Dana Farber site for the event is:

PLEASE consider making a contribution if you are not in the area, or attending if you are.  Ahmed, Chrissy, Damiano, Gayle, and many other tankers and friends will be front and center.

Contact Jimmy Carroll, Matt O'Neill, or Joe Ford at: ANightToFightCancer@gmail.com

Thanks everyone!

Shandalear:         I love goldfinches.
MarcusMaximus:  Why?
Shandalear:         What do you mean WHY?
MarcusMaximus:  You mean, like, the little yellow birds?
Shandalear:         Is there another thing called a goldfinch?
MarcusMaximus:  Not that I know of.
Shandalear:         No, the little yellow birds. I love them.
MarcusMaximus:  Why?
Shandalear:         Why not?
MarcusMaximus:  It seems weird.
Shandalear:         You probably like bluejays.
MarcusMaximus:  So?
Shandalear:         That's weird. *snicker*  Jay-lover!

AfreetAji:               We're fighting a little.
DamiDark:             Define "a little."
AfreetAji:               We're fighting about a thing, but not about eachother.
DamiDark:            That makes no sense.
AfreetAji:               You've met my Badjia. What makes sense?
DamiDark:            But you ARE fighting.
AfreetAji:               It's a tiff, more.
DamiDark:            Define tiff.
AfreetAji:               More an ongoing snit.
DamiDark:             Define snit.
AfreetAji:               Go bugger yourself with a dictionary.
DamiDark:            Ow. Sharp edges.
AfreetAji:               Use your kindle.
AfreetAji:               Ow. Mechanical items and batteries.
AfreetAji:               Yes, and you can't read them in the dark with the special screen.
DamiDark:             I could get one of those little lights but that would
                                   probably hurt as much as the sharp edges.
AfreetAji:               There is that.
MarcusMaximus:  I just started a pool.
DamiDark:            ?????
MarcusMaximus:  $10, all in, first to come closest to make-up time and date takes
                                     all.
AfreetAji:               You took bets on my relationship?
MarcusMaximus:   It seemed like a fun idea.
AfreetAji:               You are a sick bastard.
DamiDark:             LOL
MarcusMaximus:   Feeling insecure?
AfreetAji:               No, and now we are not going to ever admit we made up.
MarcusMaximus:  You're just scared she wants me.
DamiDark:            Hey, now!
AfreetAji:               I'll throw you for a beating.
MarcusMaximus:  You can't reach from there. I'm in Texas.
AfreetAji:               My penis can make it to Dallas from here.
DamiDark:            He's in Austin. Which one is closer?
MarcusMaximus:  Everybody /join #TeamChrissy or #TeamAhmed !

WhoaNellie:          WTF?

Marc is in charge of the make-up pool.  Winner takes all bets.  $10 each.  (Monopoly money, of course—cough.)

Welcome Back...

After great discussion we have decided to drag the blog up from the rubble of our former web presence.

Announcements will be here, as well as on the loop.

Because it's always good to have things done twice.

Or whatever.
