“I wrote 63 songs this year. They’re all about Jeter.” Just kidding. The game we love, the players we hate, and more.
From Norman Mailer to Wendy Pepper — everything on film, TV, books, music, and snacks (shut up, raisins), plus the Girls’ Bike Club.
Helping public schools, winning prizes, sending a crazy lady in a tomato costume out in public.
Monologues, travelogues, fiction, and fart humor. And hens. Don’t forget the hens.

I’ve (re-)discovered a few things over the course of the recent Days Of Rage. Some of them are great!
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a lonely girl in possession of a library card must be in want of a twin. The child who spends a lot of time in books also spends …
Hey. I don’t know what we do now either. I DO know that we’ll need each other going forward, as we always have, for support, mutual aid, and information on where to get high-quality wide-calf …
*joins the applause*
My god, you guys. $100,000 in under a month.
Awesome is the only word!
Wow.
Ho-ly monkeys…. I’m in utter awe over here. That is so beyond awesome. Colbert better recognize!
I will both second FloridaErin’s “Squeee!” and add to that my initial reaction: Hot Damn!
I’m so proud!
This is…. well, AWESOME!
I was actually planning on donating maybe more last-minute, but got beaten to the punch. Sars, if you want to put up another teeny challenge people might go for it, but I get it if you just want to bask in having raised 100,000. Which is totally amazing!
HOLY FUCK WE WIN!!! YEAH MOTHERFUCKER!!!
…er, sorry. I’ll try to be more dignified. Except, um, EAT IT, COLBERT.
Holy crap! And I mean that in a good way!
In my mind, I see Colbert putting on a bear suit and joining Sars in the Angela dance. I’m sure I’m not the only one who wishes for that.
@Clairezilla: oh, if only wishing made it so.
Simply astounding. My jaw has taken up permanent residence on the floor in the wake of this tsunami of awesomeness.
*adds to the by-now-deafening slow clap*
It’s been said, but: AWESOME! :D
Why does this feel even cooler than the AIDS walk I did earlier this year? It just feels so big and so AWESOME and I feel really lucky to be part of it. I think I may need to make one final little awesome donation in celebration of the GENERAL AWESOME… if that makes any sense.
Also, a few months ago I had this idea that maybe if Sars could get everyone to send her a certain amount of money she could just stay home and write for our entertainment full time. But now I know she’d just donate that money to charity anyway because: AWESOME!
Maybe you can get Colbert to participate int the Tomato Dance?
One tear…
And sloooooooooooow clapping.
I wonder if Colbert was $. Perhaps he was part of the awesomiosity that is the TN Challenge. And then realized he could do even more good starting the Colbert Nation challenge. Mind is reeling…
Back to Sars: Congratulations! You have helped many people come together to do something good. Take a moment to enjoy that! (and thank you!)
I hadn’t come to the T-Nation until this week! A friend shared the great news and I jumped on board. Wish I could schlepp down to my ole stomping grounds for the dance….darnit.
All this talk of “next year” how about quarterly!
Apparently, Public Radio needs to hire Sars for their pedge drives. I’d much rather pledge for an Angela/Tomato dance than for another Morning Edition mug!
(Though still love ya’ Inskeep!)
This is me, joining in the slow clap, while hopping about my office squeeing, while symbolically hoisting Sars up on my shoulders, while fireworks burst out my ears.
It’s busy in here.
Way to show ’em how it’s done, O Sars, and all the citizens of Tomato Nation!
Hey guys, sorry I haven’t posted any updates — busy as hell here in 30 Rock (or, as it will be known after next Friday, “30 Tomato”).
Stay tuned, I’ll post later this evening.
Continue your awesomeing.
That’s some serious awesomeitudiness. I’m going to have to take a long lunch the day of the Tomato Dance and see it in person!
Seconding the SARS FOR PRESIDENT motion – Little Joe & the Hobe with the run of the White House would rock…
Hey Wendy!
Even thought it doesn’t go on the Tomato Nation thermometer of AWESOMENESS I contributed to your friend’s “Please, Don’t Stop — Number the Stars” project because anything that encourages a love of reading is worth funding!
Awesome! Talk about making a difference.
Of course…there was still one project not completely funded…so I donated to it.
Heh.
Sniff. Sniff. I’m not crying, no no, I just have a bit of awesomeness in my eye.
That’s it. Just a bit of Tomato Nation awesomeness.
I’m picturing those kids who wanted a butterfly garden, and how excited they’ll be to have one now.
I’m also picturing Stephen Colbert bending over and planting a big wet one on Sarah’s kiester.
OMFG SO AWESOME. I was totally going to go back and donate another $10 to something else if it slowed up, but everyone else beat me to it!
@Alexis (and others), there’s still one project that’s almost $800 unfunded! Just because we hit the goal doesn’t mean we need to stop, right?
AWESOME! Way to go, everyone!
Unbelievably wow! Congratulations to everyone who made this happen!
Fan-freakin’-tabulous! AWESOME!
I have officially requested next Friday off so I can witness the Tomato Dance.
It feels awesome to be a part of this. I’d join in the slow clapping but I couldn’t keep on beat if my life depended on it.
Please tell me the tomato dancing will be filmed? Please?
I’m hoping the Tomato Dance will be during lunch so I can come.
And I’m SURE many people will film it.
I seriously got the SHIVERS when I scrolled down and saw this.
This is amazing and has completely renewed my faith in humanity after a shitty week.
Thank you, Sars, for initiating all this. You are going to be one amazing tomato!
