Yeah, I noticed an announcement on the Transylvanian
Federation of Undead Ghouls (www.bloodsuckers.org)
last night. I hear they took up a donation and
came up with another 27 *pints*!
I suspect you turned down the offer from the
Teenybopper Frolicking Underage Groupies for fear
of lawsuits/imprisonment? (can you spell "jailbait"?)
(sigh) It would have been interesting to see what
they would have done with the domain...
