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'm in for $.20 a pop..... ($20 for 100 mussels). Every man has got to know his limits, and one of mine is $.20 per mollusk….

Good luck and good slurping…..

[chnsmok]

Thanks!

I just pledged you 20 cents a mussel in the other thread. You conservative weirdo, you! Is it you or Mo1 that's eating them. No, no, don't even tell me. I don't want to be responsible for ANYONE's death!

[dware]

Thanks for your help - I appreciate it.

[chnsmok]

No prob. Just do us proud!

[dware]

Do you have a Drudge ping list? Pings needed to this thread.

If this goes well you should do it again with rocky mountain oysters next time...Good Luck!

[chnsmok]

Now that is truly yukky.

[dware]

I have already said I am going to do something like this EVERY fundraising quarter. If anyone knows a good source for rocky mountain oysters, I'd be happy to give it a go.

I've never had RMO, but have heard they are DELICIOUS. I'm game.

100 Mussels to eat on the wall, 100 mussels to eat, you swallow one down it makes a sickening sound, 99 mussels to eat on the wall....GO DWARE!
