And it's all in the name of charridee...

I can't remember the last time I coulnd't do fifty pushups.
Okay, that's a lie. I can remember, but the last time I couldn't do fifty pushups some of the people on my friends list hadn't been born and Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus were still in the charts.
In case you hadn't guessed, I went off to Ninja High last night for the first time since my comedy injury, and boy, I'm sore this morning.

Umder normal circumstances, this wouldn't be interesting or important enough for me to fire up the ol' LJ, but something came out of the class last night. Chatting to Ninja Master* after the class, we came up with an idea to incentivise me to get fitter, faster.**
We're going to do a Sponsored Smackathon. Give it a couple of months for me to geet back into training, and we're looking at doing something like a Ninja-fest for charridee.
Obviously, we meed to find a good, worthy charity to support; something that will tug the heartstrings of the notoriously cheap bunch of skinflints whom I laughingly call my friends. Something like a support group for gay, one legged orphans with cancer. Something life affirming like that.
Can anyone suggest a good charity for this? (Current suggestions have included Save the Tiger, St Thomas' Hospital, Mind, The Samaritans and others)? And, perhaps more importantly, would anyone like to promise to sponsor me when we get round to it?

More details will be forthcoming, I'm sure.

** To godzuki and neilhist's disappointment, it won't be an illegal Kumite - although I have considered it.}

Well, I couldn't give a damn about naked apes, but I'm often willing to give money to fluffy animals.

Sponsor you to get beaten up? Works for me. Do we get a video? ;)

I can come along and take photos. ;o)

I was going to be Richie.

My charity of choice is NSPCC but that gets my money already.

Mind? Terrance Higgens Trust? bah, if it is for the joy of a photo of you being smacked - whatever you want!

The only way to raise money for anything should be an illegal kumite. How else will you pay off the massive gambling debts which have brought shame on your family.

Perhaps a live street performance of Blood Sport including actual fighting. I will even be one of the judges who merely sits there and looks confused.

Sadly due to injury you will have to play the fat biker gets stoved in all the time (i.e. Ritchie)

Brick not hit back.

I'll work hard every night and day, until it's time to make my way. Mind and body will be a perfect team, and then I'm gonna live my dream.

EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation)
CBLDF (Comic Book Legal Defense Fund)
St. Thomas's (One of my favorites as far as hospitals go.)

If you were in the US and it were closer to November, I would suggest Child's Play, but it's for US Children's Hospitals, and only at Christmas.

Either that or you could just donate all the proceeds to Pat Morita. He needs to retire. (100 movies over 38 years and he still ain't done yet? Poor guy's getting old!)

How about www.savetoby.com?

Has he not eaten that bloody rabbit yet?
He's been threatening to for months! Anyone would think that it was just a cynical ploy to get slack-witted bunny-huggers to fork over free cash, or something
