Hello Jim,
Since you've done what you've done to another reporter of mine when others seem to be allowed to post back to their blog or sites viablogger section, I've taken the liberty to gathering information about your website.
1. I've determined the need for all that money a month is invalid. I run a major website, and do not need that much.
2. You seem to be running the show, not a major building with staff.
3. Donations like this should be going elsewhere, needed, not into YOUR pockets.
4. I am having a press release written on FR, urging citizens to stop wasting their money on you, and to donate for a better cause, elsewhere.
5. I will not stop, unless the price is right. Yes, this is a bribe, because I will not screw you over had you not screwed me over. But it can change with swift talks.
6. You are not a true AMERICA LOVER.
7. Have a nice day, expect your vendors to pull out soon and your donations frozen.

Watch his FR statement on video here and see if you think this is a guy capable of satire. Your skepticism is healthy, but in this case we have a delusional, mentally ill borderline personality who appears ready to go fully psycho.
If Robert were prone to sleepFReeping, that could be he.
Do they sing “Duke of Earl” in Chinese? We composed a version in my freshman year of college in Chinese history class. “Duke Duke Duke Duke of Chou Chou Chou, Duke of Chou Duke Duke Duke of Chou.”
Do like me and memorize bagpipe tunes.
Not the common tunes everybody knows including "Amazing Grace," "Dark Island" and all that. I mean the slightly more esoteric (that means the "in stuff -- we know this and you don't" for pipers) "little-music" such as "Itchy Fingers" or "The Clumsy Lover" or "The Gravel Walk" or even "Farewell to Nigg" which, if I remember aright, is the only pipe tune to commemorate an oil rig! (It's in my collection somewhere.)
If you're really ambitious, go for the Piobaireachd such as "The Desperate Battle (of The Birds)" or, if you're really into sinister material try "Lasan Phadruig Caogach" (look it up) which is in English "A Flame of Wrath For Squinting Peter" -- a melody that can take up to 40 minutes or more to play through will be less irritatingly repeated.
Of course, it helps if you can finger along to the tune in your head. Which means you need to learn to play the bagpipe.
It keeps the voices down. Trust us.
You just have to like "Farewell to Nigg."
That would make a great tagline if it weren't such an inside joke.
Stan Freberg drained Lake Michigan and refilled it with hot chocolate and a mountain of whipped cream while a giant maraschino cherry was dropped like a bomb by the Royal Canadian Air Force to the cheers of 10,000 extras viewing from the shoreline. Freberg concluded with, "Let's see them do that on television!" That bit became a commercial for advertising on radio.
The Coast Guard has some pipers up your way.

I found it while trying to remember the song Scotland the brave. Helix High School Highlander was in the same area I lived when I was in High School. Their band played it a lot. I think it was the only one they played.

And on Halloween.
Now is that ominous or what...? /sarc>
I smell a big scary movie coming on...
Cheers!
We were kinda expecting Dead Corpse to get that one.
Something of a trademark of his. No problem; he was probably busy. He's the only person working up in his part of the country.
Welcome, or welcome back, to the Undead Thread. (At least November's version of it.)
Dead, I'll save that spot for you from now on.
Cheers!
That is one scary picture.
Here in South Florida, we have "hot" and "not quite so hot".
;-)
I'll see your $25, my FRiend. I can't believe the sheer gall of this guy!
FTFY...
Oh Rabbits! another goof trying to have a “go” at Jim?
God Bless you Jim!
Oi! Stop it! I can’t eat anything before Mass and them mini doughtnuts look soooooo good!
RE #610 I second that!
So, do we apparently have a George Sodini of the internet?
Here we go again! Thanks for the ping. Does this happen every two or three years?
Good morning. Did you have a fun Catowe'en?
