So, remember the Joshua F. eBay Dinosaur Saga? You can still see the drawings if you select the seller and choose "Completed Auctions."

Well, I wasn't going to tell Joshua or his mother why the sales were shooting upwards. I kinda wanted it to be a mystery, but somebody did something awesome.

[personal profile] nykkisent her an e-mail that week and let her know.

And I read the e-mail that the mother sent back and I cried, and I thought about how sweet and wonderful that was of[personal profile] nykki--my fake-adoptive sister--and I started crying even more.

"Awesome!!! Send me his address and we will do that, I will have Josh draw him a special picture and send with a thank you card! Send his info to my email: XXX. I love it Thanks so much!!! I know Josh is going to totally flip when he gets home from school and I show him all of this! Thanks again! Also thanks to you and would you please send a message to the people on the live journal a great big thanks? I would be grateful, we are going to have a very small Christmas this year because of financial difficulties and I believe that this idea of Josh's stemmed from that, it shows that he is growing up and thinking of others, and not only himself this Christmas!
Great thanks and God Bless!
Bonnie-Josh's Mom"

This weekend I received a package. Joshua sent me a thank you card and a very special drawing of my own.

So please thank Nykki, and thank all of you again for doing such wonderful things for this 9 year-old boy.



Yep, that's a yellow dinosaur protecting its nest of eggs and salivating while looking at a delicious  flamingo.

You may now die of jealousy.

Love to you all,
Off to edit manga,

Holy crap, I got even more magical packages to eat things So You Don't Have To.

A package from [profile] passive_mission and one from [personal profile] mamagaea. They both contain AWESOME for YOU and for ME.

Also, a Currently Unnamed Filthy Englander is promising to send me A Tin of Fantastic Terrible.

I also got a dinosaur that you can see tomorrow after I scan it.

More details as we get them.

TWO THINGS

You know, I've been referring to previous posts in nearly every entry I've done this week. Weak week recursion. Anyway...

So do you remember that one post where I showed a piece of Fan Art I'd gotten?

Well, I received a second one but decided I'd hold off on showing it, in hopes that the person would tip their hand.

And she did. I got the truth about who did my two "Benchilada is my hero" drawings.

What an utter fucking nutter. Which is, of course, why she's so damned awesome.

Oh, and also, [profile] sickyprincess showed me a new drawing from Joshua on eBay, with a special message intended to make me cry. Click on that link and then keep scrolling down.

An additional message from Bonnie from another, unnamed source.

"Also...would you please send a message to the people on the live journal a great big thanks? I would be grateful, we are going to have a very small Christmas this year because of financial difficulties and I believe that this idea of Josh's stemmed from that, it shows that he is growing up and thinking of others, and not only himself this Christmas!

This is why you need to remember that it's really all about you guys. Y'all did the right awesome thing.

Take a bow.

There's one Extra Dinosaur Drawing that went up after I made the announcement about Joshua and his drawings on eBay, but for those first one's that I told you about?

Y'all stepped up on this little thing, and guess what?

THE FIRST FOUR DRAWINGS EARNED HIM A TOTAL OF $46.50.

You're good people, all of you.
Fascinating:

My earlier post about the submarine proves to be true, but the incident took place over a year ago.

Unrelated:


DINOSAUR AUCTIONS END IN TWO HOURS.

Also:


Ultimately, people, doesn't it just boil down to who wants a used condom--no matter how heavily treated--in their hair?

So I'm doing my usual link-surfing--this time through eBay--and I came across a strangely listed item that is utterly fantastic.

Check this bad boy out:



It turns out that a little kid named Joshua is raising money so he can buy presents--with his own money--for his brothers and sister. From what I can tell, it's not a scam or anything like that. Indeed, it'd be a pretty silly scam if it were one. Double indeed, the seller has 209 sales and 100% positive feedback.

ANYWAY...all four of the drawings start at $1.00 and shipping is completely free. It seems that only one person has bid on them so far, and it's all been the same bidder, so I suspect it may be a family member or somesuch. The auctions have been going for a while and only have one day left.

So here's what I propose: go to the link below and if you've got a couple of bucks to spare, bid on a kid's dinosaur drawings. Again, the shipping is free and I imagine 9 year-old Joshua will freak out a little if he makes more than four dollars. :D

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE AWESOME ART. AND GET ONE, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!

I'm off to re-bid on the Spinosaurus.

Smooches,

benjamin
Reasons to love [profile] gutter_monkey, Chapter 19:

Trust me, it's even better than you think. And this is installment...four?...of this series.

Click the pic.

Inspired by a recent post from [profile] evil_egg, a new possible autobiography title, because by the time I write it, books will be able to have swear words in the title.

Dinosaurs can't escape in space, motherfucker.
