The Mussel Man Challenge - TODAY! (101 Mussels!!!!!!!!!)
self | 02/07/03 | dware

Posted on 02/08/2003 7:04:58 AM PST by dware

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!

Remember to add one additional mussel to his one hundred. An extra $0.20 for me.

3_if_by_Treason - 0.20 per mussel

Let's see, time for some cipher'n.....

$.20 per mussel ...umm...looks like a word problem....

.20 x 101 = …..uh oh, break out the binomials. Ah, carry the decimal, solve for X....

I figure $25 including tax and tip, if I got my goes-in-tas right.

Dang intergals…….

WAY TO GO DWARE!!

Yeah, Ive been lurking for awhile. Seems to be a great bunch of people here.

While im not a fan of seafood, perhaps I could drink beer for the cause.

Welcome, FReeper commiestomper!

I was a lurker for two and a half years until I made a donation during the first FReepathon. Everyone was so nice that I had to register to thank them, and I've been here ever since.

To donate by credit card, go here:

https://secure.freerepublic.com/donate/pledge

Put "one-time" in the frequency box and type "Dware's Mussel Man Challenge" in the comment box.

You might like to add your screen name to the optional donor's list. Take a look here first to see what it is and if you might like it.

https://secure.freerepublic.com/donate/donors

Thanks for your support, commiestomper. Nice to have you with us.
