Link of the Day: Trick or Treat for UNICEF.

I know it's a little early to be thinking about Halloween, but the link above lets you order the orange boxes used for collecting donations on Halloween. If I can get people to go with me on Halloween and get a good enough costume (I figure if I'm going to be collecting money instead of candy, I ought to have a killer costume), then I'm pretty sure that I'll do that.

Anyone else in? If I thought there'd be enough interest, I'd start up a comm where everyone can post a picture of themselves on Halloween, holding the collection box and in their costume.

Also, what's your opinion of trick-or-treating for UNICEF? It's not like it's asking for huge donations, but on the other hand, it is basically pan-handling even though it is for a charity geared towards children and Halloween is a children's holiday (though I'm sadly not a child any longer).

Anyway, good idea, bad idea? Likely to offend you if a college student in costume shows up asking for a donation to UNICEF instead of candy?

The following is basically a snippet from a gchat conversation where I'm trying to explain rugby to Savior.

me: Basically, in rugby, what happens is that it's a bit like soccer and American football together. If you get a touchdown by hitting the ball to the ground, you get points.
And after the touchdown, you can kick the ball and get more points.
And you can score field goals and drop goals but I don't remember what those are.
And you can only pass backwards.

Cumulative: !
You can only pass backwards?

me: Yes. XD I remember that pissed me off SO MUCH when I played during gym.
Oh!
And if you get tackled, you have to let go of the ball.
You can't hold on to it.
It's like being tagged.

Cumulative: ...Really?

me: If you're tagged, you MUST drop the ball.

Cumulative: Man, I thought they just lacked determination.


Those poor, maligned rugby players. XDDDD
