Month: February 2010

What would the world be like if everybody was Nic Cage?

Iron Man made me laugh.

Folks, the Challenge expires February 6, just four days away!  There is still a great opportunity to get specially created artwork at a great price!  And help some kids in great need!

Now, I noticed that George Clooney did rather well in his telethon by having his pals work the phonelines, giving donors a chance to talk to a celebrity when they make their donations.  So I now make the following announcement:

Anyone who donates $30 or more through this Challenge, from now until it closes February 6, will receive a phone call from me!  Yes, after you donate, I'll give you an opportunity to email me your phone number, and I, Ruben Bolling, will call you!

Now, as many of my friends can tell you, this is not necessarily very thrilling.  I'll probably talk passionately about some obscure point about the Mets, perhaps a free agent utility player they should have signed.  Then I'll probably throw in a quote from some movie ("Can I have ten thousand marbles, please?").  Then right after I ask you how you're doing, I'll say I've got to run, my frozen burrito is done.

Actually, if you decide to screen my call and let voice mail take it, I'll totally understand.

But maybe you have a question about Tom the Dancing Bug.  Like, what's up with The Ghost of James Caan?  Or, what are the geopolitical implications of the psychosexual subtext in Doug the Cartoon Character?

In any case, please do donate!  It's fun, easy, feels good, and instructions are here.
