Ok I put up the personal me me me me give it all to me PayPal buttons. They’re over there. On the left. Not as far down. Easy to spot.
This is the perfect way to spite the harassers. They will be so disgusted their nostrils will ache, and I will treat myself to a package of Pepperidge Farm orange Milano cookies on sale this week at Safeway for ONLY TWO DOLLARS.

I will be asking for an audited grocery receipt showing you did not waste MY MONEY on full-price gourmet cookies.

Thank you, Ophelia! Looks like we pushed some of the correct buttons.

You’ll only get shoe laces for the amount I’ve donated, or maybe cookies. Spend the money however you like. This is the cheapest entertainment I’ve had all year.

You might get half a shoe out of my donation, or possibly a whole packet of cookies, but enjoy either way. You and everyone at FtB keep me in close proximity to my sanity, what with me living in Teh Babble Belt down here in Looeezzeeaannaa.

I did get the cookies! I decided on the new dark chocolate squashy filling type instead of orange. Pretty good.
HahahaHAha, haters.

Oh sure, you say it’s for shoes and cookies, but how do I know you won’t spend it on books?

You had better not waste MY MONEY on cheap boots! Do not buy cheap cardboard boots that leak like after only a season!

Oh how I wish I had money to give to your delightful cookies-n-shoes fund!
Alas, I’m still trying to figure out how to pay my electricity bill. Maybe next time. :/

Un oh, now you’ve done it. Now you’re just like Planned Parenthood. No matter how much you get in donations vs. how much you earn via other means, the donations will infect your full income and you can never, ever buy anything again without it being the squandering of money donated in good faith on silly luxuries, just like all that gumment money slaughters all the little babies at PP.

Since I keep being accused of promoting the Benson religion it seems only fair that I contribute to the collection plate.

For the curious: I got some of that bacon toothpaste at the National Museum of Dentistry in Baltimore. Sadly, it does not do a credible bacon impression. The cupcake flavor was closer to the mark (the cupcake mark of course, not the bacon mark). Some bacon-mimicry products are better than others.
The Museum, however, is AWESOME! Highly recommend. Just, BYOB (bring your own bacon), is what I’m saying.

Presumably we could all just brush our teeth with bacon instead of toothbrushes.
Although I should probably point out that I’m not actually a dentist.
