Collectors Items: Dog Lovers, Dick Haters Unite

By

Bellaidcard.jpg
You people have had a front row seat to the phenomenon that is previously worthless crap shooting up in value the second you or your company go down. Following in a long line of business cards that have sold for mucho dinero (Sam Israel,* Matthew Tannin, etc), Bella’s Lehman ID card is supposedly being sent our way and we expect it to bought for an absurd price one would associate with a failed company and an adorable puppy dog, cast out on the streets. Once we get it, we’ll auction it off asap; all proceeds will go to some sort of a collection for laid off Lehmans.
*Which I’m still not over being outbid on.

      Can the proceeds go somewhere more worthy like a legitimate charity? Maybe an animal shelter or a homeless shelter or to someone truly in need?

      “You people” Bess? Really? “YOU PEOPLE”??? I suppose next is something like, “Nonono I *love* financial-Americans! Some of my best friends are Wall St losers who hang out on blogs all day.”

      @11 – Reported on BBG today that Joe the plumber owes back taxes and has a lien on his place for it.

      @SPODE Not for nothing but I think Bella would like it if we took care of her brethren. I vote for SPCA. They do great work.

      Sounds like one of Nixon’s “plumbers”…..

      Actually, Joe Plumber apparently has a construction business and is planning to buy a plumbing business on the side. He makes approximately 200,000 dollars more than the average Ohian.
      I really wish the Mcain campaign would go fuck themselves..oh wait, they already have.
      ps I would go for people charities over dog charities. Reason over matter and all that.

      @blond
      I don’t know… this article from 1912 pretty much points out the inefficiencies in the SPCA:

      All kidding aside, should the money go to charity, I think that one that benefits animals would be the most fitting.

      @phobos – I was thinking a local SPCA would be better. There are definitely inefficiencies at some locations. There are a plethora of other great animal charities though.
      @girl – What exactly does reason over matter mean?

      with that headline, you’re going to get the attention of quite a few lesbians and dog fanciers.

      Was I the only one who read this headline as “Dog Haters, Dick Lovers Unite”

      Proceeds should definitely go to a local animal shelter. There could be a future Bella in there that needs help.
