Musselman Challenge 2010 (FR Fundraiser)

Free Republic | 07/20/2010 | dware

So, some of you may remember Musselman Challenge of 2003". It was a fundraiser for FR. FReepers across the country donated an amount they pledged to FR based upon how many mussels I ate at the local chinese restaurant.

It looks time to do it again. Less than $5k to go in this present quarterly FReepathon, and I want to do what I can to help. As such, I will be making the journey to my favorite chinese restaurant on Saturday, July 24th, to raise a few bucks for Free Republic once more. Can we top the 2003 pledges? We will find out...

Please post your pledges here... as the time comes, we will start yet another thread, and hopefully have a FReeper or three in attendance.

Here we go..........

I thought this would be a mussel eating contest with a $10 buy-in.

[dware]

Here is how it works: You, the FReeper, pledge to donate an amount determined by yourself, for every every mussel I eat. Some may pledge five cents per mussel. Others may pledge $1.00. It is entirely up to you. In 2003, I ate 101 mussels for Free Republic. This time, I aim to eat more. Will you pledge?

All pledges should be made directly to Free Republic. I am not interested in receiving any cash for this. I want you to send your money directly to Free Republic for this endeavor. I beg you, make your pledge to support FR today.

Does this mean you are in for $10?

Oh, I will! How much per mussel are you in?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

How do you eat them? Plain, with lemon, or what?

[dware]

Some with lemon. But as I get further to the 100 mark, I do like a little spicy sauce. Specially some kim chee...

$1 per critter.
