Well, as much as the mission was accomplished when Chimpy gave his speech on the aircraft carrier...
We fell short of the goal of $100 in recurring donations, but for a first-time pledge drive I think it kicked some ass: $75 in recurring monthly donations, $85 in one-time donations, plus a $25 pledge for next month.
Mighty Corrente Thank Yous to everyone who pitched in. I'm proud of my blog community. This not only helps Lambert pay for the server, but it can also be a model for other blogs to help them support themselves.
There is a penalty for withdrawing less than $200 so when we get to that point we will let everyone know with a post and with an email to the donors that the check has indeed reached the hamsters.
As far as Chicago Dyke's first installment of her Pr0n Novella, I'll leave it up to the Goddess to decide if she is sufficiently pleased or not.
The ultimate goal is $200 in monthly contributions, so we may do another pledge drive during the first lunar paycheck cycle.
In the meantime the tip jar (the big blue box in the right hand column) of the Mighty Corrente Building's Wet Bar is always open.
Thanks again,
Victor Shystee

Hey, you get padding??
Us here in the radar/surveliance/monitoring the little tap off the NSA feed/newsgathering room wish to lodge a formal protest.
And being up in the secret attic at the top of Griffindore Tower for better reception doesn't help matters; drink service is like waiting for a beer vendor to get to the 700 level at the Vet, or I should say "like it used to be at the Vet" on account of if there ain't no Vet no more. Damn new stadiums anyway...
anyway there ain't none of us (pauses: pulls out shirt collar, looks down) I said there ain't none of us that needs padding. Such things are for the sort of codpiece-wearing insecure pencil-dicked pussies pictured above. Or his bustle-butted pickled spouse. Feh on both of them.
That said (why? I dunno, I just felt like abusing the Babbler in Chief, that's why!) let me add my thanks to those who donated. Being in need of donations myself I was not, alas, able to join you this time, but if I find a job before they cut off my power and phone I will be in better circumstances to do so. :)
We don't do padding 'round here
That's why, in the spirit of transparency, the fundraising numbers are exactly what is in the account at this point. We keep it REALZ!
Maybe too realz. It's not like we're Americablog. Not that they're fakin' it, but sheebus, they want $20K to do things you can already do at the MCB like create your own blog...
No worries, Xan. May the Magic Gravy Train stop at your station very very soon.
