Doesn't that mean our donations go into a general fund instead of being earmarked for bees?

I think they mean you are not getting an exact Your Donation of Bees to Muhuimby Octuwimba Mutsebeezi in Cameroon receipt.

So when village they are helping needs bees yours go there. Since charities tend to do things efficiently your bunch of bees would go in a package of cows, goats, pigs etc..... in one big shipment to save on shipping.


I don't think Muhuimby Octuwimba Mutsebeezi is going to wake up next week with a knock on his hut's door with the DHL guy saying "I need you to sign for these bees NihilistCanada just sent you".

Would be cool though. Regardless as in my first post in this thread you can actually answer John Lennon's question. You did something. You made someone's life that much better.

That is enough to me.

Donating 15 sets of $30, so 187500 bees, plus $50 to make it an even $500, so maybe they will get an unexpected goat or something too.

MUAHAHHA

Edit: WTF, it is saying my credit card information is invalid for both my cards, even though I literally JUST used the card 3 minutes ago on another site, so I know nothing's wrong with at least one of them. I will try again tomorrow, maybe there's a daily limit on my card or something.

Edit2:

Whoever this is that just messaged me on AIM, I'm lollin at you, just so you know:
[14:32] Ender Vender: i hope you realize the entire purpose of the bee donation thing is for lowtax to get a nice big tax deduction

(I am donating under my own name instead of the SomethingAwful name on the off chance that it would affect me being able to deduct this on my taxes, so this guy is wrong anyway. Since I'm donating a little more than $30 I think this is understandable, but either way I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS ALMOST PART OF THIS EVIL LOWTAX CONSPIRACY TO GIVE POOR PEOPLE BEES)

Hot drat!

I was bummed out this morning because I had to send my girlfriend off to LA to see her dad, and the thought of Christmas alone was very dull.

Now I have a swarm of 12,500 angry bees racing to some far off land, with dreams of pollen dancing in their tiny bee heads.

I hope they help someone out, and sting just one little kid or two adults. I am a simple man, and that is my Christmas wish.


May our swarms unite across the globe, may they spread honey glazed terror across the land. :patriot:
