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 just woke up from my "short" nap, and am happy to report the mussels have settled just fine...I do believe I'm going to survive. The way they were rumbling around earlier, I wasn't too sure about how I was going to do tonight. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to next quarter.

You are a brave man.
I am currently drinking beer to support FR, Im not sure if it will help but it cant hurt!
Oh yeah, thank you Mr. Robinson for providing this wonderful site.
To: dware; Brad's Gramma
Truth is, this may really catch on, dware! Maybe JimRob won't need as many FReepathons with you and your mussels!
Glad you're feeling all right. I know eating a lot of shellfish can be dangerous to a lot of people. But, apparently, not you!
Everyone is proud of you! But where, oh where, is that silly Bear?
