WARM UP THE DONATIONS, MOTHERFUCKERS!

no way in hell, :clack:

Now accepting donations in support of banning hemmy.

[Trim]

Since I posted this Sunday, we've raised $250 from assorted goEMAW'rs with donations ranging from $25 - $75.  Maybe more if anybody from here has been donating to Team MIR or Team Gooch.  Some people have donated and I don't even know whether I've choked them out in the past or bought them a beer. 

I should mention that nobody should feel they have to give a substantial amount in order for it to be worth it to us.  Having a shitload of small donations will help a lot also, although Limestone might cite the Star's scientific research and point out you're a squawk if you're donating $1 or something.

As TP once said, just imagine if everyone on the site donated* $10**, we'd have a hell of a giant check to give to BBBS***.  And if you can't trust TP who can you trust?

*well, he actually said "gave me"
** he wanted $10/month, we just need it once
*** he actually was thinking more along the lines of "I could quit selling life insurance and then try to sell this shithole to sd and the crew for $30K"

For those wanting to see how we're stacking up, the stats can be found on the right side of this page: http://sedgwick.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=460512

The important category is group rank.  We need to finish in the top 5 of so-called small companies.  If we can get into the top 5 of all groups, we'll obviously be set.

Thanks man, in my hypothetical TP example, you just earned yourself a hypothetical cooler that will never come.

I'm not sure how Havs is gonna come back from this.

So what kind of pizza does everyone want tonight? Setting up at avivo now.

The Johnny Wichita.  Or the Johnny Wichita Deluxe.  Probably both.

First time trying this.  Was fantastic.

AvivoPak was a success.  We raised $800, which along with Pete donating additional funds to reclaim the title of top goEMAW donor,  put us back on top of the small company leaderboard by $19.  However, there's still a lot of time before this thing wraps up, and all the companies that are just trailing us have multiple teams and seem to have a more consistent flow of money coming in.  We really need your guys's help, however small it might be.

I mean, there's people, including some here, who pay that fat eff Fitz $10/month only to still get their info from BSAC et al right here.  Surely some of you can pony* up a few bucks for the goEMAW philanthropy at this point, right?

*nod to goEMAW BBBS Ambassador's Level donor EMAWgeddon

Just donated. Boom.

Against Havs, right?

Were there any goEMAW'rs in attendance last night we didn't have the chance to meet?

Bad news: The BBBS lady says that a company's not considered "large" until they have around 10 teams, meaning almost every company on this list except government-types are our competition.  Also, apparently not everyone else is entering their numbers online because she says we're getting crushed by Eby Construction with around $7,000.

Let's step it up.

Question -  can we donate using credit cards?
I wonder if there are any posters who might need to hit their #'s for airline miles.....

Absolutely.  I think that's the preferred/only way when you do it online.  We'll gladly take all $2500 of the spend one needs to make to get their 100K BA miles. 

If people don't have credit cards, they can PM any of us and we can take pledges where BBBS will send you a bill later or just have one get us the money via paypal or whatever and we can get it credited on our end.

FFF, still ready to take your donation via paypal...

steve dave wanted me to let everyone know there are no extra fees whatsoever when using your credit card to make a donation on goEMAW BBBS metal.

[Trim]

We can't necessarily "ban" OBz, but donate in spite of him anyway.

[Trim]

Don't forget to indicate on your pledge or in this thread whether you're for or against haverhill!

[MakeItRain]

I cannot believe that my old neo-con nemesis Tannoudji donated to the cause.  I have to sincerely apologize for things I have said to you my man, thanks for getting me going!  Ebony & Ivory, peas & carrots, PB&J, all that crap stuff, sorry old habits die hard.  Anyhow way to step up for BB/BS!

[Trim]

WTF?
