We're going to Blame Drew's Cancer for everything
Longtime Download Squad lovers and fans may be shocked to hear that our occasional blogger and always friend Drew Olanoff has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Anyone who knows Drew knows full well his incredible personality is immutable, and likely won't be surprised to find that a bit of serious health news hasn't dampened it in the slightest.
Enter Blame Drew's Cancer, Since diagnosed, Drew says he's been blaming absolutely everything on his cancer. "Losing his keys, misplacing his wallet, Twitter being slow, the Phillies losing, etc. Why? Because you have to beat up on Cancer to win.."
And beat up on cancer we shall! You can show your support for Drew (and get your tweet on the Blame Drew's Cancer site) by using the Twitter hashtag #blamedrewscancer.
If you're in a position to be a person of charitable influence, Blame Drew's Cancer is looking for a sponsor or sponsors to donate to the American Cancer Society and the Make a Wish Foundation for each unique Twitter user who blames something on Drew's cancer.
From all your friends at Download Squad, get well soon Drew.

The lucky thing is that Hodgkins is much "nicer" than the non-Hodgkins, so I wish him good luck. Because of his cancer a thunderstorm passed in my hometown just i was reading it.

Bah, this has been done. My fiancée donated a kidney a few years ago and now, every time she botches something or something comes up that she doesn't want to do or deal with, I hear some variation of "but I only have one kidney." Fortunately she says it with similar humor. :-)

Years ago, after hearing my 2 children say "Not me" once too often, I taught them the powerful refrain "Uncle Jerry did it!". Almost 10 years later, my brother, who lives a thousand miles from here, still gets blamed for everything that goes wrong in this household.
Please tell Drew that he may blame my brother Jerry for everything that goes wrong after he is cancer free.
