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
always have a little bottle of Tabasco with me, even if it's one of the tiny little MRE bottles. And I'm a culinary student. My chef instructors just sigh when I eat lunch. ;>)

Good grief! Is that lake in Wisconsin???????????
Seriously, is it?
To: LowOiL
The waitress thought it was hilarious, and the manager laughed. I wanted to get a pic of me & the manager w/the empty shells, but had no life left in the camcorder battery :(.
Oh well, guess I'll make sure the battery is charged next time.
Wish I could sleep & FReep at the same time.

Tabasco sauce.On ice cream, even. Mmmmmm. Uncle Austin carries a little vial of jabenero pepper powder (aka nuclear laser powder) with him. Not only does he use it on food, it's a self defence tool.

That's sweet, Arne, but the credit for such a successful event goes to dware and his thoughtful (yet hare-brained) idea to raise some additional money for FR.
He inspired me... kinda like you did, Arne, here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/824639/posts?q=1&&page=238
Dware, you've made us all proud. Now you can go to DisneyWorld!
$50.50 enroute to FR.
