Sadie The Fire Safety Tomato Says: “Drink!”
Submitted by Sarah D. Bunting on November 2, 2007 – 5:54 PM12 Comments
Loki Lounge. 5th Ave. and 2nd St. in the BK. Mr. S and the Couch Baron attending. Tomato costume now festooned with cat hair. Your chance to appear in a video montage. Juuuuust sayin’.
“Enough with the costume, STFST. Where’s my prizes at?” Glad you asked. The cats will select winners over the weekend and I’ll start doling out loot shortly thereafter. I almost forgot I had all this feckin’ awesome stuff to give away.
Okay, time to have beers. I’ll be raising all of mine to you guys — and to Stephen Colbert, whose ass you kicked flat. Thank you so much for taking part in this; it’s been an amazing, heartening, fun month.
Share!

You rock Sars, you totally rock. Well, we all already knew that, but damn, Tomatodancing in NY is just icing on the cake. Thanks for everything you do!
Speaking of cats….how did they react to you in Tomato Regalia?
I’m raising a beer for Sars and all of us here in Texas! Cheers on a job well done!
LOVE! SARS! you are so awesome!
Stay away from the Bloody Marys!
Can you rub my prize entry with catnip so the cats will be sure to find it exciting?
Wait…LitLiberation won the Google Award? Where were they on the leaderboards? I’m trying not to be annoyed, cause they raised a boatload of money for a good cause, but come on!! If we had known they were out there, we could have beat them!
Jenn: LitLiberation was the category that raised the most money. Although, the way the Google award reads to me is top blog in each category, not top category. Either way, TN did awesome!
I’m not at all sure I’m reading this right, but it appears LitLiberation is a category, not an individual blog/readers effort. “Okay, Self,” I said to myself, “so I guess the Google Award was for the category that raised the most money. Not that we need yet another prize, but like Jenn said, it would have been good to know.” But then I clicked on Google Award, and found this:
“We’re going to reward the winning bloggers with exactly what they gave to DonorsChoose, students, and teachers: traffic. The competition will remain open until the end of October – we’ll then take a look to see who has helped raise the most money in each of the eight DonorsChoose challenge categories. We’ll post links to the winners’ blogs here, and we’ll also throw in a $500 gift certificate for each winner to spend on DonorsChoose.”
That makes it sound (to this tired boy) like the top blog in each category wins a Google Award, not the highest-grossing-total category. Plus, I only count six categories: Tech, General, Topical/Local, Science, LitLiberation, and Voters Choose.
Whatever. We hit six figures, dusted Colbert’s presidential wannabe butt, helped nearly SIXTEEN THOUSAND students, and got Sarah into a tomato costume. Awesome month.
I just don’t understand how anyone could have thought Sarah was anything but a tomato. What sort of apple is that colour? And as for looking like a cranberry…
I think the LitLiberation thing is a big gyp, because they were a GROUP of blogs, not one individual blog. In fact, they were an entire CATEGORY! That’s comparing apples to tomatoes!
I mean, in the end it all goes to the kids, so it’s just about bragging rights, but COME ON! We deserve to get those bragging rights!
Oh well. At least we can bask in the awesome of this whole endeavor, AND we get awesome pictures of STFST doing the Angela dance in the Argyle Tights of Awesomeness.
I so love the fact that Sars is now featuring in the vacation photos of tourists from around the world – especially that Japanese guy who looked so happy to have his picture taken with you! (I’m trying to imagine him narrating as he shows his vacation slides: “Weird customs these Americans have … girls dress up like giant tomatoes to meet the tourists….”)
