So I’m just going to put up the annual “Christmas drive” post right now, because the simple truth is this: keeping this site up and running costs me a fair chunk of change and a lot of work. I like doing the work and I don’t really mind paying the money: that is why there are no advertisements on this site (and never will be for anything other than things I am personally involved in creating).
But that doesn’t mean I mind occasionally holding out the hat; after all, I only do it three times per year (on Christmas, my birthday, and the site’s anniversary in August). Because while I would do it for free and indeed mostly do just that, I still like offsetting the cost a bit.
So this time I present you with not one but two options. The first option is the ever reliable Amazon.ca wishlist (Amazon.com shipping is too prohibitive, alas, to make giftgiving from it really worthwhile). The second and newer option is that I have finally caved and included a Paypal donation button on the sidebar there for people who might just want to tip a buck or two into the hat rather than buying me large impressive presents that show how amazing your genitalia are (and I am certain they are quite splendid).
(Hey, if every one of this site’s unique readers chipped in just one dollar a year, this could be my job! Except, on second thought, that is kind of disturbing on multiple levels.)

Show us your tits!
that is a fucking l ot of readers, and most of them are apparently too shy to post most of the time.
Just a suggestion: I think you should move your PayPal button up towards the top of the page. As it is you have to go past a fair number of links before you find the donate button. I would put it right under “Contact” and before all the links.
If every unique user donated a dollar, wouldn’t that be enough proof that MGK should write XY and/or Z? But not Q. Q does not deserve to get written by MGK.

Well, damn. Yet another reason I should get a Paypal account. Hopefully the unicorns and rainbows I wish in your general direction will keep the server working until then.
I don’t mind chucking you a few quid here and there(I just did, in fact), but why do you avoid putting adverts up on your site, MGK? They’re not that much of a nuisance.
I believe it has to do with the fact that much of his content is covered under fair use if he doesn’t advertise on here or something like that.
Hey, I ain’t no lawyer.
Chris, enjoy Incognito as thank you from someone who has spent countless hours enjoying your site. You’ve kept me sane on horribly boring days.
And yes, they’re real… and magnificent.
I might be willing to donate if the income prevents you from becoming an evil lawyer.
@Mary Warner: I thought just having a blog where you offer an opinion of any kind was grounds for not getting a job at McDonald’s these days, let alone a law firm.
Unless it’s one run by ex-cons. They might have standards low enough.
