After an abnormally well-rested holiday weekend, I sat on the top floor of Tucker North and pondered what to do to make some good this holiday season. You see, the Battle Against Dysentery was originally conceived as a way to fill a charitable hole in my season of lights. Seeing as the B.A.D. is postponed to spring of 2012, I find myself once again a ship with no sail.
So, in consideration of this, I’m giving this little segment for Messages For Life a try – I’m calling it Changing The World For A Month.
With Thanksgiving just a few days away, many people are preparing to prepare one of the most tremendous meals of the year. With this comes adventures in excess, like the Turducken. Most notable among the new American traditions for the beloved holiday of joyous gluttony is the deep fried turkey. A deep fried turkey is an extremely tasty addition to a holiday meal, but it can be a very dangerous prospect when prepared incorrectly.
Seeing as the weekend after Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, I thought it important to let our loyal fans know about a change in the schedule for the fourth annual iteration of the Battle Against Dysentery, the Geeks’ yearly charity extravaganza. I’d like to think of it as a “Bad News, Good News” kinda thing.

Why is it, when a geek starts to create something new, we must create a result the likes of which no one has yet dreamed?
I have found myself asking myself this question for large sections of my adult life. Often, the question comes up when I have a role-playing book resting on my lap. The smell of RPG book ink (a somewhat unique odor…I swear the infuse something special, like the blood of a dragon, into the stuff).
Space…The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of your internet-connected browser. Its potential mission – to explore strange new photos; to seek out strange new sub-planetoids and new places for the New Horizons spacecraft to land. To boldly go where no geek at their desk has gone before…This is IceHunters.
