Funding

Thanks to Kate for her Super Duper charitable donation,

....In breaking news...

I have just received this communication from one A. Kos.

I seem to have gathered some attention:

Are you a 501(c)3 charitable trust? My development department's rigorous screening process produced very little of referential information, short of this quality craftsmanship:

and this biographical datum:

Well, I trust you, and you are quite a charitable guy, so my accounting department has authorized the issuance of 'BBBBB' funding, that is, Bodacious Brazilian Bikini Babe Bucks, to be used exclusively for the purpose of enjoying life around tropical climates of Brazil where Bronze Brazilian Beauties are suspected to be Basking or Bathing in Bikinis.

Any misappropriation of funds will result in 1.) restricted/eliminated funding 2.) a smackdown 3.) suspected homo eroticism.

Please supply information on transference of funding, whether it be Paypal, check in the mail, carrier pigeon, or what have you.

You are a freeloading, mooching-ass bastard. Sheisty, shrewd, and scurrilous.


Have a pleasant day.

My reply is as follows:

Dear Prospective Donor,

We are indeed a charitable trust, if by charitable you mean that we will take actions to better the world at large. Your donation, while not tax deductible, will go toward strengthening the relatively weak economy of Brazil. While they are currently experiencing an upturn at the moment, it is indeed important to make sure that this turn is permanent. I will personally pledge to you that every penny received via donation (accepted via our website at http://dothappiness.blogspot.com by following the appropriate "donate" button located to the left of the main text, paypal, credit cards and checks are acceptable forms of donation.) will go directly to the 'BBBBB" fund (which is better known by it's short name 'B5 Fund'). This fund is used to ensure that the executive of the B5 Fund enjoy, to the fullest, an amazing view of Bronze Brazilian Beauties that are suspected to be Basking or Bathing in Bikinis, wholly within or the area surrounding Rio De Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.

To date, we have not recieved official 503(c) status at this time and it is indeed true that we at the B5 Fund are 'freeloading, mooching-ass sheisty, shrewd, and scurrilous bastards'. We nonetheless appreciate your contribution and will of course flood your mailbox with many, many postcards and various unsolicited junk mail, providing you have supplied your postal address to us.

Kind regards and Keep cool.

ndb,
CEO
B5 Fund International

Little help...

Ok, so thanks to the current administration and the inability of US citizens to live within their means and not cause serious devaluation (yes it's much more complicated than this I know) of the US Dollar (dolar, in Spanish, means pain), this trip is costing *WAY* more than it should.

As a consequence, I find myself in need of taking up a collection for a sojourn to Rio de Janeiro. If you can help, please do, any amount is welcome. Below you will see a 10 Real (R$) note, these are the new ones printed on plastic paper with a transparent part to prevent copying. They cost roughly six and half dollars US at the moment and buy lunch for one and a half people...

And this shall end my shameless panhandling and haranguing of my friends and family.


Thanks and Be well!
