Hooray For Boobies
It's rare that I get a chance to combine my inner 13 year old's endless search for a cheap thrill with a good cause. So when the opportunity presents itself, far be it from me to not capitalize on the moment.
Next Saturday, the fourth annual bloggers' BoobieThon will begin, benefitting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (along with the American Red Cross this year). It's a simple concept, really; bloggers submit photos of their upper torso regions to the site to raise (ahem) awareness of and money for breast cancer research. Clothed or semi-covered shots go on BoobieThon's main page; those viewers willing to make a $50 contribution are given access to a private page where they can find photos from those brave enough to bare their assets for the cause.
Since 2002, BoobieThon has raised more than $17,000 for breast cancer research. Their tagline, "We Share To Make You Care," cracks me up - but their issue is quite serious. I hope you care enough to make some sort of donation during the campaign. Do it for your wives, girlfriends, mothers, daughters, and the men who love them.
(My inner 13 year old would like to mention that any of my female readers who've "shared to make us care" can feel free to make me aware of their efforts. The pics are anonymized and don't show faces anyway, so it's not like I would know which ones were yours... but it would make for a fun parlor game for me while I spend my $50. Leave a comment below or e-mail me at thechroniccurmudgeon@hotmail.com; photos encouraged.
My cheap thrill banter aside, it's a great cause and a chance to do some good. Here's to a successful 2005 campaign.

now, remember...breast cancer also strikes men.
So...when will we see you topless? ;-)

They do accept male photos as well. As for me, I probably could give some of those girls a run for their money. ;-)

I'll just get this out of the way early: do we really want to see the 'mudge's hairy, 46DD nipples?

Says the guy with more hair on his ass than his head?

Mudge, are u gonna auction off any of your well-worn mansieres or bros to support the effort?

I love it when you two "cat fight"
Makes for a good chuckle.

Tom DeLay gets indicted, and all you have up here is a three-day-old post about boobies? LOL...I mean, it's better than the frequency of my posting, but still. ...

Hey, some of us work for a living. :-)

You may include me among the "some." ...

Mine are free to view... so far. They weren't posted on Day 1 but they are on the "all submitted photos" page. There are two shots.
