last weekend I was walking through Downtown Crossing here in Boston, and there are always various groups, (environmental, etc.) seeking donations from pedestrians. Well, this particular day the panda loving folks from WWF were there and they asked me for a donation, I politely declined, saying I cannot in good conscience donate to them because of the WWE lawsuit. That's how much I hate the blurring of Attitude era footage, my friends! OK maybe it wasn't all that funny of a story.

I know consider you the biggest mark in wrestling history. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? By the way they responded politely, I was pretty much joking, I just don't like to donate to solicitors, and that seemed like a very convenient excuse.

I wasn't boycotting them, I just don't like solicitors who pop up on you when yuo're walking down the street and say something stupid like 'Do you have a few minutes to spare for the environment??" "Would you like to donate to.....?" they're everywhere in downtown Boston, and I'm to polite to just outright tell them to screw, so this seemed like a good excuse to use. I'm not THAT crazy! Wow this backfired on me in a big way huh!

Something similar happened to me yesterday. I was walking around Oakland (Neighborhood in Pittsburgh) and this guy stopped me and asked if I could spare a few minutes for Jesus. I politely said no thank you sir. He asked why, I said well, I'm Jewish. He then said well stop wasting my time. So I did what any person would do, I took the little booklets he had on a bench and threw them away.
