They should make it so that for each $5 more you donate, you find out who one heart came from.

Personally, I'm completely baffled by my 3 hearts - I didn't think anyone even thought about me or gave a hoot whether I was here or not. It would be nice to know but I guess that would ruin the romance of it.

1. I like the way your mind works BW! I want to go into business with you.
What line of work you in? (you don't have to tell me.)

3. Damn that is a cool black cat shirt! I was a big time fireworks nut as a kid, M-80's. Used to
toss mats of firecracker into bonfires on the beach on fourth of july. Good time growing up on L.I.
Sure miss those days.

5. I sell far more of the Black Cat shirt than any of the other styles. I don't make them, though
I buy them from the Black Cat people. They won't allow anyone to make Black Cat shirts because they own the trademark. And they want to get the colors exactly right. They dye the shirts in huge batches and carefully make sure the fabric comes out the exact same shade of yellow every time.

6. That's amazing. Iny my head, I don't even remeber the color yellow when I
think of black cat. I was more of a THUNDERBOMB f-crackers guy.

9. Thunder Bomb is widely variable in quality. It's a "generic" brand which can be
made by any number of factories in China. On the other hand, Black Cat is a trademarked brand which is tightly controlled by the trademark owner (Shiu Fung, Ltd. of Hong Kong) and they keep good quality control over their products, so Black Cat firecrackers are more consistent in quality.

10. As a kid growing up, there was a warning on a batch of thunderbombs that were
deceptively potent. I remember something else--- we used to break a fire cracker in half to make a "sizzler". And then we'd do also delayed fuses using punks. Whistlers were always cool but 8 ounce rockets shot from a glass quart coke bottle was the best. Things really got out of hand sometimes. I am amazed no one got hurt. I remember more than a few short fuses. I also remember aiming bottle rockets at each other. Kids are dumb.

They should make it so you can give hearts you get to other people.

7. NO! I wouldn't give any if they did.
I like being incognito. Plus I wouldn't want someone to think I was stalking him. :silly:
