Hey Freak!

"The issue is not whether or not they can detect cancer, because clearly they can. The issue is whether you can set up a system whereby they can communicate with you. That requires further ingenuity," said Tim Cole, a professor of medical statistics at Imperial College in London, who was not connected with the research but is the owner of a labrador retriever.

So. The story of the Boobiethon. Flash back to two years ago... This story is about the supa-famous blogger (and new mommy, yay!) Robyn. She had many friends. One of these friends was Sporty. Sporty wanted to visit Robyn (in FL) for her 30th birthday, but she lived far, far away (in PA). Robyn's birthday was also in the middle of Thanksgiving weekend, and Sporty had nobody to be with on the holiday. So Robyn started a campaign for donations, hoping to raise enough money ($359) for a plane ticket. Now, as I said, Robyn had many friends, as did Sporty, and we were all happy to throw in a few bucks. It's what friends do. As an incentive, Sporty was willing to show off some cleavage/racy pictures (but nothing too racy)... and then the donations started pouring in. And then some of their friends decided not only to donate, but to submit their own racy-ish pictures. The $359 barrier was easily eclipsed, so Robyn decided that the excess would go to charity... and what better charity than the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation? It was perfect. Boobies for boobies. Well, that first year, over $1,200 was raised for charity. It was then that Robyn decided that this should become an annual event. So, a year rolled around, and the Boobiethon was on again. Only, this time, there wasn't anybody visiting, so no plane tickets needed to be bought. But Robyn wanted to keep the same spirit as last year, so she decided that the first $359 would go to a different charity, with the excess again going to Komen. The other beneficiary was PAWS (Pets Are Worth Saving) Chicago. And there was much boobage. Bra shots. Wet T-Shirts. Chocolate covered nipples. And again, the donations poured in, reaching well over $6,000. And now, it's time for the third annual installment of the Boobiethon. This year, the first $359 will go to Rock the Walk, and the rest will go to Komen. Let's make it even bigger and better than last year, shall we?
