Acrochallenge!

Hello, acroites, acroees, and acro-others. And welcome to another round of acromania.

Yes, this is Monday, and post #2 in my promised week of Podcastathon blogs. Please remember, everyone, that Stennie and I are doing a 24-hour Podcastathon starting at 9am this coming Saturday. 48 podcasts in 24 hours. And, to paraphrase the little girl in the old Shake N Bake commercials, "You can heyallp!" Here's how:

1. Go here, to www.hucklebug.com.
2. Read all about it.
3. It will direct you here, to the American Cancer Society online donation site. It's very user-friendly, and will even let you make a donation in memory of someone, or in someone's honor, and it will send a card for you, too!
4. If you don't feel happy with online stuff, go here. It takes you to a page with the American Cancer Society's address for mail-in contributions. Write a check, stamp an envelope, and let the good times roll.
5. Then - and this is very important - Go right back here, this is the hucklebug.com site. Click where it says "comments," and let us know how much you contributed. You don't have to sign up, sign in, leave your name, or anything else. If you want to be anonymous you can, but you can advertise your generosity to us in all capital letters if you like. We need you to do this so we can keep track of how much we're raising for the American Cancer Society.

OR!

If you want to make a pledge and follow up on it after you know we completed the podcastathon, just go here, to the hucklebug.com site, and say, anonymously or not, "I pledge so much." Then when you know we were successful, contribute online or by mail.

Thank you ever so much, and let's get on with the fun and festivities.

This week's acrotopic - "What Should We Do With Cancer, Along With Kicking Its Ass?" Sure, we're doing the podcastathon for the ass-kicking, but what else does it deserve? Stuffed in an airtight jug? Blown to smithereens? Made to spend the rest of its existence watching celebrity poker on television? You tell me.

All the other rules are the same. Everyone gets three entries to come up with the best acronym they can that not only matches the topic above, but also the letters below, which are randomly drawn from the acrobasket. The acrobasket thinks you should pledge to the Podcastathon. Smart piece of wicker, that acrobasket. Then tomorrow night at 10pm est I shall be reading the entries and naming the winners.

So, the topic, "What Should We Do With Cancer, Along With Kicking Its Ass?" The letters:

H E L O

There you go! Start ass-kicking, pledging, and acroing.
