CrowdRise

Matthew and #sidvicious are having a stern look contest. It's sorta like a staring contest but it's all about looking like an angry dad or principal or koala. #crowdrise

If you get a CrowdRise tattoo and then get it really close to your face your teeth automatically get perfect. Putting orthodontists way out of business. Sorry about it. Way.

TurboRoo was born without his front legs and was surrendered to a vet’s office at the age of 4wks. An amazing vet tech adopted him and give him a better chance at life. Now he’s CrowdRising for the Humane Society for Hamilton County to help other animals get that same chance - crowdrise.com/ParadeofPaws2015

Here we go.  

If you're at a sporting event and the stranger sitting next to you is touching you and bumping you so much that you can barely take it, just take your shirt off.  No chance the stranger is going to want to touch your nakedness.  

Number one probably works better if you're a boy.  

Number one for sure works best assuming that, at no point during the game, is there some sort of tradition where everyone puts their arms around each other to sing some sort of song.  

Decent chance we've said something offensive in this post.  If you're going to get mad, please blame someone other than CrowdRise.  Maybe your brother's girlfriend.  Or, your sister's boyfriend.  He's the worst.  

Okay.  Thinking that covers it for now.  As always, so sorry if reading this has been a colossal waste of time for you and your entire family.

Lots to tell about CrowdRise Gatherings before the fall sessions begin.  

The ban on exclamation points will extend another season and probably best for everyone to thank the CrowdRise groups in Philadelphia and Lincoln for rallying to make it happen.  

All scheduled speakers must wear shower caps except for any Gatherings that happen close to Halloween.  That week good to just bring a shower cap and whip it at the locals but you don't need to wear it.  

There will be no talking at all around Thanksgiving.  Everyone is welcome to bring pads of paper and chalkboards.  And, miming isn't only allowed, it's encouraged.  

Okay.  Thinking that covers it for now.  As always, so sorry if reading this has been a colossal waste of time for you and your entire family.

Pretty sure Katie is wearing an rarely scene CrowdRise bird necklace thing. And, there’s a real kid the pic. We think. Seen, not scene.

If you add the 240 and 101 race bibs in the background and divide it by your mom’s age when she was 10, you get 34.1. The exact number of people who have used a copy of Magna Carta as a kite. Crazy.

This is exactly how to do it. Framed perfectly. And, know that this fellow has not always been good at it. It takes practice. Like anything.

[crowdrise]

So many people are emailing us saying this pic is fake or a ghost. Hilarious. Ghosts don’t wear glasses. Unless they’re from Minneapolis.

You are only allowed to be this happy if you CrowdRise enough to get a CrowdRise hat. Or, if you’re a really good breaker. That’s breakdancer talk for breakdancer.

Were changing the format of this post slightly today.  Instead of not reading this post yourself, were asking you to kindly forward it to a friend who won't read it. Maybe go so deep as to email it to someone who isn't even on email.  Like your mom's friend who doesn't even have a phone.  Or, your great aunt, Mary Beth, who thinks Facebook led to her hip replacement.  Or, your gramps who recently asked all the grandkids to call him GrandAm because it was the first car that he kissed your step-gramma in.  Gross.  Probably best to stop typing now.  Worst post ever.  Perfect stuff to not read.  Or, to re-read over and over when you want to punish yourself for making pot brownies and your mom eating ‘em unknowingly.  And, as always, so sorry if reading this has been a colossal waste of time for you and your entire family.

This is crazy. The human person in this pic is right-side-up and everything else is upside-down. Call Ripleys.

Clara from Angel City Pit Bulls doing her best Yoda impression. It's pretty good.

Windblown hair competitions are so, so competitive these days but no one can compete with Kara and she's got a mess of medals to prove it.

Big week and some important notes.  Here we go…

1). Coffee cake has no coffee in it.  It’s just supposed to be served with coffee.  That hardly seems right.  

2). Little carrots.  Why not little celeries?  

3). Always take your parking tickets and put ‘em on a friend’s car.  

4). If you wrap a globe with a map you may get your next haircut for free.  5). There is no number five or six.  

7). Here’s a play from a visit to the grocery store last night.  

Fellow behind the bread counter: What state is Oklahoma in?  

Lady in front of the line to the fellow behind the bread counter: Oklahoma is a state.  

Fellow behind the bread counter:  Oh. I never heard of it.  

Okay.  Thinking that covers it for now.  As always, so sorry if reading this has been a colossal waste of time for you and your entire family.

Mackie is the best looking dog ever plus she's one of the pups in training at the Warrior Canine Connection. So awesome and cute and don’t tell anyone I said cute.
