For A Good Cause
As the blogging community is all too aware, the enticing world of the Internet can be highly addictive. Back in 1998 I had an article published about this very phenomenon, but little did I know what an epidemic it would become.
Internet Addiction has caught the attention of legendary children's author, Richard Scarry. He has started The Richard Scarry Fund to help cure innocent children of this terrible affliction, and encourage them to get their fat asses out into the sunshine.
The Canberra Bloggers have decided to make a contribution to this worthwhile cause. We have been collaborating on a very special calendar to raise funds. It's currently at the printers, but will soon be available for purchase at a very reasonable cost. In the meantime, you can catch a preview from any blogger displaying the Foundation banner.
It was a tough decision, but in a crowded calendar marketplace, you have to be bold to be competitive. That is why we all chose to pose nude.





Lookin' good, Miss Shauny, lookin good!
Well, personally I think it turned out pretty well. Your picture is delightful! And with so many Shauny fans we're sure to raise some bucks!
Yay for us!
that's a damn fine photo, i'm really impressed. i shall forgo food next week to buy the calendar, oh yes i shall! you look so beautiful & happy, but where's your road sense? no helmet!!! :p also, were you really drunk? heh heh
Wow, can I get one shipped to the States? My regular velocipedal fetish mag stopped publishing last year.
ehehehe! Now Marybeth's cryptic reference to 'Shaunyporn', and Row's intriguing mention of a project all make sense.
Does the calendar include Monkey arse touching pics?
I s'pose I should actually comment on the serious point of the whole thing.
When I was ten, I got my first computer. It was a Sinclair ZX81 (aka TS 1000). Since then, I've pretty much always had computers in my life, and they have been rather too important to me. But I never had access to the internet in my childhood. But even so, I still had the computer half of the addiction about which Richard Scarry is concerned.
The statistics which Richard refers to really made me think - and I certainly match at least half the symptoms he lists in his brief summary.
I for one will be purchasing the calendar.
Such a worthy cause, indeed. :) I think you look fabulous.
hehe shauny- great work, in many ways. i think you know what i mean cos i never did catch a glimpse of your missing index finger. i looked closely, too.
but maybe i have this all wrong. either way, it's hilarious, and i feel like an idiot. hell, i KNOW i'm an idiot. and this post is making me stupider. all i really wanted to say was that i think you're probably responsible for about 1 in 10 people's internet addiction.
and i'm responsible for the most embarrassing abuse of somebody else's comment system, so i guess we can call it quits!
you win this round, gadget, but next time.... next time!
uhm... will totally understand if you delete this retarded long post and hate me forever. just understand that you know, i lead a sheltered life and stuff, so yeah....uhmm... sorry!
oh mother.
Mmmm... very nice picture. You look like a classical goddess. :-)
Through the Richard Scarry Fund for Internet Addicted Children I hope to self-publish a new range of children's books, with a new character, Osama Online. Osama will generally be a naughty, evil character, whose antics will be designed to make my young readers more wary of the Internet, or even to discourage them from using it altogether.
'pon my word!
Is is a coincidence that you post the first picture of yourself in as long as I've been lurking, er, reading this blog happens to be the fools day? :-)
I hope no one was really fooled. This is a girl who posts about how she used to be able to take naps on her breasts while sitting in the bathroom stall at work. It's really her pretty face though, and that's a damn rare thing, so I'm considering getting a calendar myself.
Ahh Daniel-san, your logic is astounding :)
