Let's buy Edwin a PC before he explodes. It's for the common good.

What's this about Boogle getting it in the end?

Which end?

I think it's more about Boogle not getting his end in.

Gorilla is trying to start a group finger->butt drive for Electric Boogle-oo.

If this thread gets Edwin a computer AND gets Boogle some pootie, then it is ready for the Goodjer Commandments page.

Alas, Edwin gets a computer AND pootie, boogle gets nothing.

Lesson learned: Chicks and geeks alike love 7 foot tall Puerto Rican monster-men.

Glad to see everyone is so helpful. Being "good" is the first part of being a goodjer.

Also, if this has the extended battery that protrudes down like my Dell does, a laptop cooler is likely unnecessary.

I got the 9 cell. Right decision?

I have no money to give, but I do have mediocre talent in GIMP, so I give Edwin a new avatar reflecting current (or near-future) events:

Maybe we can even find someone to photoshop a laptop onto your wombat avatar, just for sh*ts and giggles.

That is rad! I definitely think keeping this whole thing on the down low is the best idea for Edwin's sake. It's hard for me to accept gifts, personally, so I could understand if Edwin would feel a bit uncomfortable at first (but COME ON! a laptop is cool). I don't think deleting the whole thread is necessary or anything. If he feels like using that avatar, though, I think that would be funny.

Oily - PM me. First I've seen of this.

Definitely approve!

I agree that this should be kept low-key, unless Edwin decides otherwise (I like how we talk about you as if you won't read this). If this thread, and that GIMPed avatar, need to drift into obscurity, then we should let it. Actively deleting the thread seems too conspiratorial, though.

Edwin: receiving gifts can be quite awkward, especially when you don't know most of these people in person. But know that they gave these gifts as a response to your actions; don't feel the need to repay them for this. Being Edwin is payment enough.

Having met Edwin, I can say that meeting Edwin is payment enough. Clearly he must now personally visit each and every person who contributed in any way to this awesome endeavor.

And thanks, oh great GWJ coordinator Mr. Pengiun, for making something like this happen.

Except me. Nobody should visit where I'm at. But I'm ok with that.

Also, check's in the mail Oily.

This thread makes me so happy. Were I not a brokeass gw(/o)jer, I would have loved to throw down on it, Edwin's a nice dude and totally deserves a little break like this.

Best of luck with your mom, man. *hugs*

Regardless of the future of this thread, I'm proud to have played my own, small part in it.

I'm also proud to be a goodjer, but that's not new.

Well said, couldn't agree more!

Ok, last chance to throw in for an amazon card for Edwin. I'm going to figure out how to turn the contents of my paypal account into an amazon gift card at 12pm EST today (you have 2.5 hours).

Anyone donates after that and you're contributing to my beer fund, so I encourage you to delay =)

6'4" and white not good enough!

Oh balls. How can amazon not accept paypal?

That said, it's going to take a few days to buy the gift card because I have to transfer the funds to an account with a credit card first. Please don't donate any more money unless you want me to have it.

Um, mine was (unfortunately) an echeck and if I'm reading Paypal's site right it won't clear until tomorrow? I sent it on Wednesday.

I guess let me know if you already got it or not.

It says it's pending until today. Shouldn't be a problem. Also, wth is a "zoomtown"?

Other than the stupid name of my underachieving DSL provider? I have no idea.

My guess is it's like Boomtown only it gets canceled faster.

Our mail service, they have emailed me, saying there is a package and it is with them and is get-able. Tonight may be the night of unboxing.

Exciting!
