Bumpin'

Waffle bump!

I honestly own both Belgian and "traditional" (American?) waffle makers, as I honestly switch back and forth on which I crave, and brinner happens in this house at least once a week.

At one point in time, I owned a double waffle maker, which was good, but not great. You gotta be quick in waffle prep as they cool down quickly.

Since this is a game of skill, and not luck like, with say, a raffle ............. my strategy is to donate some at the beginning of the month, and some at the end of the month. I feel this is the strong play.

This is the Guinness World Record for largest waffle, and I am even more disappointed in humanity than I was. I mean, 8' ??? Two people are moving this thing around with a cardboard roll!


To compare, the world's largest pancake is 49' !!! This thing required cranes!!!

Neither of those look very appetizing. I think I'll stick with normal sized waffles.

Guess our money down under isn’t good enough

Well that's odd. We've gotten donations from all over the world, and this is the first time I've seen that. I'll have to look into it a bit more after I wake up. It's 7:38am here, and I'm on my way to bed.


EDIT: Found some info that states New Zealand only allows donations to non-profits registered with the government there.

If you want, send it to me F&F and I can put it in.

I was going to send him a PM offering that as a solution, but I was way too sleepy. I'm up now though.


So yeah, from what I can find, some countries either don't allow making donations to anything not registered with their governments, or they don't allow donations to be made through PayPal. Who knew?

I am guessing there is actually good intentions behind this, even if it comes across as too big brother. My first thought is senior citizen protection. I am thinking it isn't too difficult to prove legitimacy and get whitelisted, but obviously not for this such occasion.

And just a bump for waffle!
