Title: Anyone ever see "About Schmidt"?
Post by: CountDeMoney on November 03, 2009, 07:22:30 PM
I'm gonna "adopt" a kid.  One of those you see on the late night Sally Struthers commercials, from some fucked up country.  Preferably Muslim.  And begin a correspondence.  And post it here.

"Dear Ndugu..."

I think we had a thread about this a while back, and someone claimed that they no longer assign a particular kid to a particular donor.  Which makes it much less cool sounding IMO.

Well, that fucking sucks.
I want to be able to mold a starving little shit into a well-trained killer from afar.

Oddly, for some reason, I kinda think "About Schmidt" is perhaps one of Jack Nicholson's all-time best movies.

It totally is, and certainly a fast forward to some of our posters' futures. :)

You should put that on the forms for reason for adoption.

I want to be a Darfur warlord, but from the comfort of my own home.

My mom donates to an NGO that does that kind of thing, and she has two Ecuadorian kids nominally (they rotate as they get older and leave the organization) assigned to her, but she's not actually allowed to get in touch with her. She used to get Christmas cards and occasional updates from them and such.

Remember when Sally Struthers used to do these commercials, and people would make jokes about how if she just gave away all her food instead of eating it, world hunger would be solved?  Good times.

:huh: Yeah, I know he mentioned her in his OP--I was talking about the associated fat jokes.

Nah, I mean that we've had a thread about this and someone made that joke(first time I'd heard it).

Wasn't that joke on Family Guy or something?
