Eric Akawie 2006-07-14T18:07+00:00 While I’ve been an avid follower of Laurence’s Palestinian Bingo right now my need to show my love and appreciation of the IDF can’t wait.

I was about to send a Pizza to an IDF Patrol when I decided to see we could raise enough to send Pizza for a whole Company. (Or More!)

Laurence has already pledged $25.00, and will be making an appeal on IMAO. If you’d like to contribute, please Paypal your donation to ericjpp@gmail.com. If you’d like acknowlegement, please mention your donation in the comments. I’ll occaisionally bump this post up with a running total. Our goal is $269.75, which will buy pizza for 90 soldiers.

Please give, it’s the least we can do. These young men and women all have Jewish Mothers ringing their cell phones and asking “Are you eating?” Let’s help them respond with a hearty “Yes, Ma, I just had some pizza. It is too real food. Yes, I know Aunt Sadie’s birthday is tomorrow. I promise, I’ll call her.”

(And while you’re at it, you can throw some tzedakah to Magen David Adom. In fact, if you have to choose, choose MDA, and post your donation in the comments anyway.)

Am Yisrael Chai!

I'm starting with 2 Tbls. of extra-light olive oil and 3 Tbls. of sugar a day.

After taking the ELOO last night and this morning, I've had very little hunger today. I've thought noticably less about food, and haven't gotten any snacks between meals.

I'm currently drinking the sugar-water for today. (2-3PM)

I'm planning to post experiences and results here, to help keep myself honest.

For more information, see Seth Roberts' website.

Okay, it's a cliche by now, but Fantastic!

Now they just need to greenlight a Blake's 7 revival.
