Yep, it's TODAY! Later this afternoon, I will be making my promised trip down to the local Chinese restaurant, and will attempt to eat 100 or more mussels. Why? To raise money for Free Republic, of course!
You can still help, too. Here's how. So far, dozens of FReepers have pledged to donate a set amount to FR for every mussel I eat. Some have pledged .10 cents a mussel, some .25 cents, $1.00, and more. What can you pledge?
To date, I believe we have a total of $16.05/mussel. If I reach my goal today of 100 mussels, that means $1605.00 will have been raised for FR.
I will be carrying out my duties at 1PM, MST. FReepers in Colorado are welcome to join us at the Grand China Restaurant at 28 1/2 Road & North Avenue (behind AutoZone) in Grand Junction. When it is all said & done, I will post results, along with pics, on another thread.
So, take the time now to get your last minute pledges in. Just post your reply below with the amount you pledge. If you don't want to post here, FReepmail me, and I will include your pledge.
That's it folks. I'm off to get my day started. Here's to hoping I get a good batch of mussels!

You couldn't put enough grease and MSG on a mussel for me to eat it.
Good luck, dware. We're pulling for you.
Update! Mussels are fresh! He is chewing. Got an empty shell. Won't count it. 6 down!!

I just did a quick scan of all the cable news shows, and none of them have broken in to the live pandemonium at the "Grand China" in Grand Junction yet.
Maybe they are waiting for the climactic mussel to break in on their regular programming?
