Chad, the article below details that (for a good charitable cause) 2 people paid $20,000 each to be written into George RR Martin's next book as characters meant to die a gristly death.

Crazy money, and good for him for raising $40,000 by doing something to meaningless and easy overall. Good to see even authors using their fame to help causes they believe in.
Questions to you --- if you had $20,000 to donate to charity and your favorite charity was an option to be the beneficiary through an offer like the offer above:
a) Which book (past/present) would you be written into? (any idea what your namesake character might do in the book?)
b) Which charity would you most want to make that size donation to?

interesting stuff. some difficult questions with a easy question
i'll answer the easy question
"b) Which charity would you most want to make that size donation to?"
can i divide it up? but dividing $20,000 makes for lighter donations
my brother ryan died from diabetes & kidney issues. so these terrible health life issues are near to my heart. it also bothers the hell out of me that people or animal are hungry. if only i was in charge for once, hunger would be a history lesson & the sick would be taken care offor poetry through the ceiling.

Very understandable to pick those issues since you have such a close connection with the possible results of having kidney issues and/or diabetes. I would think you could divide it up any way you wanted and still make a huge impact.
Shit, look at what Martin is up to now -- he has raised $396,000!

Dear Chadwick,
What is your opinion on the practice of covering sofas and other pieces of furniture in plastic in order to protect them?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this matter.
Signed,
Bea Wildered0 -
well sometimes folks urinate often after a few beers. sometimes ppl get the diarrhea after consuming bad grub like a seafood sandwich from subway or grubbin thanksgiving style with alot of alcohol added to the mix. therefore, some cover their sofas in plastic coverings.
i knew a family when i was very young that had certain furniture covered in transparent thick ass stiff ass plastic wrap shit. this sucked & if you even sat on the chairs or sofas with plastic thick ass wrap you would be yelled at, therefore, some furniture was not covered in bullshit thick ass transparent plastic wrappers
this lady was a nurse, her husband worked w/ dad. he was wonderful & she was a fucking idiot. guests & even family members of this operation were only allowed in certain rooms because of the 14 foot waterfall-pond-fountain at the bottom of the winding staircase & 300 yr old stroke its wrapped in thick ass transparent plastic all about the joint.
in 100% honesty ppl like this might should be spanked with cactuses, walnut trees & scrap metal.
yeah the entire tree & random car parts & other scrap metals at the junk-heap-yard

...googling "300-year old stroke" and "cactus spanking" now, thank you0

LOL I found the "300 yr old stroke its" to be a fucking hoot. Miss the Chad's Opinion Thread activity -- so much better than everyone shitting in their hats about what EV has to say about war. (It is fucking stupid and it kills innocent people. Not such a tough concept?)
Chad, do you think we could solve conflicts in countries by having strange races and the winners determining who gets the disputed item/area/etc?
Bug Races?
Frog Races?
Which one of these people doesn't look like a total fucking asshat? But they look like they are having fun yelling at the poor froggies & I think the crazy lady in the foreground has the winning Amphibian.
So if you think we could resolve conflict through crazy racing --- what would the best races be held with?The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
Ohoh I know spiders, if it's that important that you play with spiders then it's serious. I personally am fine with spiders but pretty much everyone else I know is a complete bitch about them.Anything you lose from being honest
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.0 -
Are they seriously squirting the frogs with water to get them to hop? I'm not so sure the concept underlying that practice is too different from that underlying many of the conflicts/wars/stupid-ass killing that is going on all over.

I didnt think of it that way but I laughed when you did. I dont think the poor froggies like this game but I suspect the crew from the Today Show participating in this pictured race were not harming them by spraying them with water. I know that our man Chadwick is a lover of all animals and I would not want to post anything on his Opinion Thread that was hurting frogs. (I happen to like frogs very much.) I like the idea of spider races....>-

f me in the brain,
i don't frequent the porch but i know the topic of ed & the war lecture, speech, talk, opinion or whatever it may be called. good for ed & his mates. that is all i have on that.
excitable frog race ppl... uh... that's a pretty intense looking group
i say the running of the bulls. i bet war would end pretty quick if our leaders had to run from these bullshttp://youtu.be/agDZMWH8oS8

Yeah I would probably find a way to talk through an issue with someone before I let the bull decide who was right!The love he receives is the love that is saved0

They should call it running from the bulls.
Literally or figuratively, I think anyone who puts themselves in that position and gets gored has it coming.0 -
I personally think anyone who puts themselves in that position SHOULD get gored. Score one for the bulls.The love he receives is the love that is saved0

Sometime we would put them in the middle of a PBJ and then eat 'em. Anything for a trip at that age.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

Back when this warning may have applied I was too stupid to listen to any warnings.
