Kwipette and I got free dinner! Yippee!
Well, tell them what for, mook! –Kwipette
Oh, yeah – the details. Well, check this out, froods: remember back in April when I asked for everyone’s help? Well, as I reported before, you guys came through and kicked some mega ass, and tonite we gots the plaques to prove it, baby!
The MS Society had an awards banquet to honor it’s teams from the MS Walk of 2001. I’m proud to report that Team NeenerNeener.net took home not one, not two, but THREE awards (and a ton of those little flavored crackers which then wound up smashed into a paste in my pocket).
Our team was the top Family and Friends fundraiser, the highest team-member average, and was one of the first to be inducted into the new “Five-Figure Club”.
For a small group that included a fat man in a cow suit, I have to say I’m pretty proud of how we did. None of it would have mattered a hill of beans without the help of everyone that pledged to us, mind you – so this is actually another desperate attempt to thank all you froods and beg you to pledge to us again this year!
But I’m kind of worried – last year I tried to come up with something rather outrageous I would do if we got a certain amount of money. If I had gotten 10k in pledges, I was going to jump out of a plan or go bungee-jumping or something equally guaranteed to have me shrieking like a girl and capturing it for the masses on video. (Un)fortunately, I only received something like 8.5k in pledges – which was still a hell of a lot, don’t get me wrong, but merely had me dressing up in a cow suit. A heavy cow suit, as it would turn out, not at all suited for the unseasonably warm (84 degrees!) day we had. That suxored big time – oh, it was fun and all, but I don’t think they’ll ever remove the Kwip stink from THAT particular cow suit ever again.
So now what am I going to do this year?
I’ve got to top last year; that’s all there is to it. I may not be wearing a cow suit, although I grew rather fond of it (that’s just ’cause they had to use paint thinner to get it off me after wearing that sucker for four miles). But I have to do something attention-drawing…hrmmm…any suggestions? The cow suit idea came from one of you fans last year, so I’m hoping there’s another creative person out there with an idear or two they’d be willing to share (and no, I’m not allowed to get roaring drunk before the walk either – I know, I know, rules rules rules. What can you do?).
Even better news this year is that the course is NOT going to be through the lovely broken-cement and cobblestone sidewalks of Lancaster that make pushing a wheelchair OH so much fun…grr… I’m trying to convince Kwipette to let us take scooters on the walk, but she won’t hear any of that. Hrmph. Run over ONE small child on your scooter, and you’re marked for life! Bleh.
Anywhoots, keep watch here; I’ll post more info about the walk as I learn more. One of the things I’m definately thinking about doing this year is making a raffle for all the sponsors – something like every 10 bucks you donate gets you one entry or something. I’ve still got some autographed boxes of AC that the Turbinites were froody enough to donate (I didn’t get them in time for the last walk, so we’re gonna use them this time). Plus, I’ve got a couple other goodies lying around (yeah, you just KNOW you want an official “Yellow Rat Bastard” dirty sock with authentic Stink-O-Rama Realistic OdorTM!
