The Mussel Man Challenge - TODAY! (101 Mussels!!!!!!!!!)

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!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Poor, poor mussels had to lose their lives over money.

How sad. How tragic. How pathetic. We need to have our PRIORITIES IN ORDER, folks!!!!

...maybe he's calling 911 instead!

Wow, that's serious. Hope he knows the number!

[azGOPgal]

Priorities?! You're one to talk. Keeping that poor defenseless bear all locked up. What did he ever do to you? Over charge on detergent?

[kayak]

Well, dware has his priorities in order ....... he's doing this for FreeRepublic!

[mystery-ak]

if you are so upset over mussels, release Snuggles.

[Slip18]

I noticed on our keywords that the word "puke" was not there.

[leadpencil1]

Long time lurker first time poster here, Ive been on the fence about joining but this thread has pushed me over the edge! Count me in for .50 a mussel!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT EATING THE BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kayak]

That's got to be the only word not there ...... I think the rest of the whole English language is listed.

[mystery-ak]
