But you're Greek, you're on GC, and you were on DM exec. So it would be legendary to you, but not to the average person. Heck, most greeks don't even know about it.
Thon raises a ton of money for a very worthwhile cause and i'm not trying to knock it. It's well known in certain circles, but your average Joe Blow who would be driving past the canners doesn't know that. And even if they did it's generally not made real clear that it's for Thon... it's usually pretty small on the can.
BTW- there's been times when i've seen people canning for something at Pitt or somewhere, and maybe I would give them some change. But I don't have time to find my wallet or even dig into my consol to find the change usually. I actually tried to do this last night... some homeless guy was LAYING on the ground with a sign in a very busy, very narrow area of highway (for you yinzers... in the bathtub on 376 by downtown), but I couldn't get to my money fast enough. I figured if he's desperate enough to be there and risk being killed, he's not faking. There's no shoulder, there's maybe a foot between the white line for the outside edge of the lane and the concrete barrier.
Interesting enough i've seen college students canning in this same area... stupid stupid stupid.
