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?

And the orange boxes would go well with an orange Dalek...
I would think a college student asking for money would be more justified than one asking for candy. I've had a prof ask me "Aren't you a little old to be trick or treating?" but you're never too old to help out a charity!

Ooooh. Are you going to be an orange Dalek and come trick-or-treating as well? Because the more people there are, the less awkward I'll feel about it!
Plus, it's always fun when we go XD
