cans for comments

5 12 2008

Miranda asked if I wanted to take part in this awesome food raiser, so I am delighted to announce my participation in Cans for Comments:

Cans for Comments

It’s very simple – comment on any Delicious Juice Dot Com post, and for every comment left between today and next Friday, I will donate one can of food to the food bank. Come out of the woodwork and say hello for an awesome cause!

These beautiful people are also taking part in the Cans for Comments blitz, so visit their sites and say hello to see even more cans donated to Vancouver’s food banks!

random: that picture of Ed on the highway, doing ‘Watch For Rock On Road’? I made that my work laptop wallpaper, because it still makes me smile.

Consider your ass dugg. God speed.

5 12 2008
Jon

BTW Kimli, if for some reason that digg gets a lot of traffic here, let me know and I will help you with your cans.

That’s right, I said it, your cans.

Spamming for a good cause. I like it.

I would also like to know whether multiple comments by the same person to one blog entry turns into multiple cans.

5 12 2008
MIke

I often have afterthoughts when I hit the “submit comment” button and wouldn’t want them to be wasted.

5 12 2008
MIke

And do your own comments in response to comments in your blog count? I think they should.

5 12 2008

This is a really great idea, so I’m posting in support to add a can.

Except for creamed corn. There’s no substitute.

When I read “cans for comments” I immediately thought “Kimli’s going to show us her cans?” and I was terribly disappointed at the flagrant lack of boobies herein. Oh, well. =)

Get some comments. Feed some hungry people.

This idea has revolutionized the ways that I can be charitable and lazy at the same time.

I support this cause as long as the cans aren’t cans of SPAM.

7 12 2008
MIke

So I’m a really literal guy. Is it every comment on ANY of your posts, or just this one?

Also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take a picture of the mountains of cans you will be donating as a result of this. Preferably with you beside them for a sense of scale.

Also also, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND canned potato variations: whole, sliced, or diced. they are ALL EXCELLENT and for whatever reason, most of my Canadian friends apparently don’t know how freakin’ kick-ass canned potato products are. Seriously, I love them and I know anyone who is trying to make anything out of cans for meals would love them too. If you see canned potato items when you’er can shopping, can you please grab a can of potato product on my behalf. I know we don’t get to shoose the cans. But c’mon. But even if not, you’re still the most kick-ass person I know anywhere ever.
