was there a card when they gave him a three-legged dog?

when he opened it, did it just say, "jealous?"

... well, F7U12

In other news, WTF don't nonprofits just get a friggin Google Site and a Paypal link? Why? Is it really that hard? Do they hate money? WTF?

I had the same kind of issues trying to donate to a small town food shelf. (Any. The only requirement was that it service my grandparents' community.) I gave up.

The greatest enemy of the poor and disadvantaged are the people who want to help them.

Really, he wants nothing for himself? I mean, I could see not asking for a personal servant to ride around on, or Bionic legs. But nothing? Not even a peg? Or some kind of wheeled cart?

Lucky kid. He'll never drop $650 on a pair of Shell Cordovan loafers and get caught in the rain like I did.

If I was that kid I would ask for legs.

"What you want for Christmas, Owen?"
"I want legs, goddammit!"

"What you want for your birthday, Owen?"
"I want legs, goddammit!"
"
What you want for your MLK day, Owen?"
"I want legs, goddammit!"

 etc.

What this all reminds me of.

Yes, you will go to hell for laughing at this.

/Well, it reminded me of Lil Bruddah too, but that base has been covered

"They're like any other boy and dog. They love each other," said Sherman. "He even has a song called 'Eli is a good dog.' He sings it to him all the time.

Just take my heart and stomp on it why don't you?

That touched me too.   Really.

Because I have a song I sometimes sing to my dog, but it contains the words "Stinkin' Bricky" so I guess it not quite the same ;)

I want to send that kid $200 and tell him to split it between himself and the shelter. Selflessness is a tough behavior to reward.
