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!

I know the feeling, Gramma.

But I had to be on this thread today. It was just too good!

Is the garage where the little bear is?

Is there a way we can get spell check or something?

Here's my excuse: I was flustered and BG was talking about cats. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
