I regret to inform that Cody has wasted all of our fundraiser money
« on: April 01, 2011, 03:19 PM »
For immediate release: April 1, 2011

I regret to inform the members of DonationCoder that our mascot Cody the bird has infiltrated our paypal account and withdrawn all of the funds, which he promptly spent on the world's largest chocolate coin:

Attempts to return the half eaten coin were unsuccessful, and so because of this minor snafu, we are going to have to redo the fundraiser in April.  Your cooperation and understanding is appreciated.

Disputes take ages to handle in paypal, until then Cody will have eaten the coin.

That must be some heavy chocolate judging by the grimaces on their faces.

Probably trying to weigh himself down so he won't fly off the windshield wiper while Mouser's tooling around town.

Cody must power the DC server manually ('hand' crank?) as punishment

Oh, but wouldn't that be the perfect punishment? Ripping off his wings, then grilling and eating them in front of him?

We could feed them to him and see how much he enjoyed himself.
