Desert bussing breaks the interwebs?

[Gongon]

Has the guys at www.desertbus.org broken Chip-In? Do they need to play the game for another agonizing hour? Is it hilarious? Did the trip end in Vegas or Tuscon? Go catch the last hour of Desert Bus for Hope! Now!

Well, since it's sponsored by The Escapist i guess it's ok ?

What?

Yeah, I know about it already, it's been advertised quite a lot.

Yes, it has, but it deserves to be advertised more. Did you also know that right now, Spartans showed up. They've all gone mad over there! If you've watched the show this last week, head over and catch the end-show. Currently 2000 viewers there, and so many donations that they seem to have flooded Chip-In.

I believe we're travelling between Vegas and Tuscon. It will stop before we reach Tuscon.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Well I can't see why there'd be a problem so.

OT: What is it, then?

Despite the fact it has nothing to do with this thread, good luck with Nanowrimo.

Bless your heart 36,958 words so far...Desert Bus has pushed me further back than I thought.

From http://desertbus.org/

Put simply? We sort of invented the internet telethon by accident ? you give donations to Child?s Play, and we play Desert Bus. It?s really boring and mind numbing and generally unpleasant. The more you donate the longer we play. To keep you and us amused, and to increase the donations we auction off and give away prizes, have celebrity guests stop by, and become your monkeys. Want us to sing ?Still Alive?? Sure, we?ll do it for a $20 donation. We play 24 hours a day until you stop donating. Scary, isn?t it?

However.... Last donation mark was getting close and the sudden outpouring of charity DDOS'd Chipin.
