Used in a sentence ... "This is not another post about Jerry Sandusky's victims (i.e. Jerry's Kids (Modern) -- what, too soon?), nor is it an obscure reference to the Boston hardcore rock band of the same name (isn't Wikipedia wonderful?), nor is it a post in support of the recently reunited Grateful Dead tribute band (RIP Jerry Garcia) ... but it is a nod to the upcoming Labor Day telethon (in 2012, reduced even further to just 3 hours) even if Jerry himself is/was retired from the program -- raising money for the MDA will still always be about the kids -- Jerry's Kids (Classic), if you will."
Which brings me to the continuation of my 2012 Facebook birthday project, where I'm donating $1 to a charity in the name of any one of my FB connections that makes his or her big day public. The charity I chose for August is the Muscular Dystrophy Association (to get ready for the Labor Day telethon, now called the "MDA Show of Strength"), but here's the list for the rest of the year should anyone with such a birthday want to shift their dollar to a different charity:
SEP -- Autism Speaks
OCT -- Susan G Komen for the Cure
NOV -- Greater Chicago Food Depository
DEC -- Trevor Project
IT'S NOW CALLED THE "MDA SHOW OF STRENGTH":

EVEN IF SANDUSKY IS JUST A NON-SEQUITUR, IT'S GOOD FORM TO PROVIDE THIS:
