Celebration of Shrinkage 2007

Yep, it's time for the Lakeview Polar Bear Club annual Celebration of Shrinkage.
Saturday, February 17th, 2007, myself and several other perfectly sane individuals will be taking a nice refreshing swim off the frigid, windy coast of Chicago, IL into sunny Lake Michigan in order to raise money for a family in need.
As I've done for the last two years, I will be selling my body as a billboard to raise money. I'd like to raise about $400 for the cause. I'd much rather suffer the embarrassment of having my rather, well let's face it... "stout" frame plastered all over the web than be faced with the staggering medical costs and emotional trauma of, say, Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. Every year I am reminded of how lucky I am to be healthy. How do I remind myself? By freezing my fecking balls off, while the world laughs at the ridiculous pictures, that's how.
Hey, we all have our ways of dealing with stuff :wtf:
Anyways, if you want a personal message to be written on ME, the cost will be $30. You send me $30, and a message (brief, please! :skeptical ) and I will write it on my body in black sharpie, and take lots of pictures for everyone to see.
You can donate by check or paypal. PM me for details.

Very proud of you for doing this for that family. Everyday, I am also very thankful for how healthy my family is. We are very lucky.
What you can expect to see:
stuff like that
You rock.
Can you explain for your fans what that means exactly? I'm a little in the dark here...

Can you bring those nipples over here? I've got some glass I need to cut

My greek friend had me write it on there. I claim perfect innocence :crazy:
Oh...see? You done screwed up!
I never said I was innocent...

Nice...I love that.
"This space for rent" is going on my arm
"www.newbuddhist.com" is going right on my belly :eek:
The event is tomorrow. Expect pics soon after!
I just got an email from the organizer... The swim is canceled due to complete lack of actual water.
He went there a week ago, and again just now, and the lake is frozen solid from the shore to some distance out... it's just not gonna be safe, because there's no telling what the depth of the water will be at the edge of the ice shelf, not to mention how far it actually goes out. Him and another guy were there with pickaxes, softening the ice, but it's just freezing right back over.
I hate to say it, but I think it is actually TOO COLD for polar bears this year
To the donators, I am still forwarding your donations on to the charity, obviously.. I have a little snow event of my own planned that should be good for laughs, and you will still have your messages written on my body, scout's honor
But I hope you have a good time during your snow event. Sounds like fun!
:cheer:

I was hoping for a snow angel.
