Well it finally happened, someone finally decided to throw down the challenge and nominate me to dump iced water over myself.
Now I took some heat that I should have stood on the grass or what not to water it, well the water itself is already grey water as in it is not for human consumption, as it was collected as rain water, so it would have went to the gutter to begin with.
Second people are crying fowl that the executives at the society are making off like bandits. Well I do now know if they really are or if they are really not. I just know that this challenge has gone viral and has helped to raise awareness to this disease. If you do not want to donate to this, currently there is an Ebola outbreak in Africa, please send dollars that way, altho there is probably a society with people up top who will take the charitable money and pay themselves.
So where does that put us? Back full circle of we are damned if we do and damned if we dont. Well I got news for all you tax payers (everyone over 18 and makes more than 3000 a year), how much money does your MP make? Did you know that you donate to their salary every paycheque?
How is that even better? The only difference is one is mandatory and the other is voluntary.
Anyways enough ranting, I flipped the bucket issued the challenge to others and went home and assembled my newly acquired grill, cannot wait to get some fat juicy steaks on there.
Oh yea the smoothie, today's was extra thick for some reason, I sort of tasted almond, perhaps wifey placed a whooping scoop of almond butter in it? None the less I slurped it down!

BMS students witnessed as Principal Kerry Putnam, Lead Teacher Tonya Treadway, SRO BJ Owens, and Coach Cody Ashe, answered the challenge to give a donation and get iced in support of the ALS Association (alsa.org). Friday afternoon's spectacle turned into a fundraiser which raised $82 from students vying for the chance to douse their teachers and school leaders. A spirited way to end a successful first week at school!

Birthday ALS (MND) ice bucket challenge.
Yeah so I caved once I was nominated. Despite previous scepticism, it's ultimately for a good cause and water with some ice cubes in isn't a massive deal. Seeing the Jason Becker video pretty much changed my mind and hit me right in the feels.
I have decided to donate money to MND (obviously being the UK equivalent of ALS) and also Macmillan. Double whammy!
So for the nominations... Ben Clark, Elizabeth Judkins, Sam Barker. (Or I can just video Roxanne pouring a snakebite on you again LOL)
