OK, Mr. Chance! I’ll fix you now! Because of Sue’s post pushing us much closer, and because beatle is taunting us all, I’m raising my original offer of $130 by $25, to $155! Thus, I am the mistress now! Hah! En garde right back at you!
New Running total: 2835 + 25 = $2860!
Come on folks! Are we going to let beatle just taunt us like that? He can’t get away with that! Let’s show him!
Fuck it. Put UncleBeer in for $140 taking the total to $3000 (plus another $50 for beatle). We now stand at $3050.

considers what she’s getting for Christmas
Oh hell with it. Add in another $100 for me.
Which brings us to $3150.
I’m in for $20.37
total: $3170.37
Holy Crap!
Thanks a lot, UncleBeer! That’s great!
But Falcon!!! Doesn’t that make $200 for you total??? Jeeze! I’m simply speechless…
blessedwolf - Thanks a bunch! (pointedly ignoring the anarchy caused by the extra 37 cents…)
Oh good lord. Sorry, folks, about the fuzzy math there… Cut me some slack, I was trying to digest several pounds of turker at the same time as adding, and it gets tough, you know? 
For CHRIST’S sake.
TURKEY! I was trying to digest TURKEY!
I’m in Australia and I can’t afford to give much. In fact I can afford to give so little that what I can afford would be swallowed up in bank fees by the time an Aussie cheque was processed.
I’m wondering if the Aussies could all send cheques to one person and then that person gets a bank cheque or money order in US dollars. That way we only pay one set of bank fees (usurious bastards that they are)
I’d be in on that Primaflora. Damn exchange rate and fees. I am still paying off my last trip. I’d be willing to be the person in charge of that if you need someone. (and I promise not to squander the money). Let me know.
If they set it up to take Credit Cards, would that solve the problems of bank fees (minus the 1% fee for exchanges)?
Chances are good that I’ll be able to donate more than this when the time comes, but I don’t know how much, so put me in for $10.
$3170.37
+ $10.00
--------
$3180.37
I don’t know if this is a problem, but I’ll have to pay in cash.
The total now stands at $3180.37.

credit cards would be cool and it would solve the currency problems for everyone outside the US (well, if they have a credit card that is)
How much does it cost to set up though?

I am happy to co-ordinate it or happy to see someone else do it. Maybe we should start an Australian/NZ thread specially? I have a NZ credit card so I can process NZ cheques as well.
I’ll kick in for $100.00 That takes the total to $3280.37
As mentioned by Doug Bowe, use of PayPal would be a good thing should this effort get off the ground.
All right, I can’t stand those loose pennies rolling around. I hereby raise my pledge by 63 cents.
The total is now $3281, exactly!
Three more pledges by mail:
$5, $5, and “the swet(sic) of(sic) of my…” oh dear, I’ll throw that last one out, thank you. You ass.
So with Anonymous Pledges H and I, we have
Running Total : $3291!
Come on, can’t someone new give $10 juuuuuust to push us into the $3300’s?
I’m sure I can buy a few dented cans and some day-old bread and scrape together about $25…
Hey Anth, maybe you could see if you could also cross post the fund drive in GD and GQ, some of those people never come into MPSIMS, and I’m sure they’d be willing to drop a few bucks.
You probably want to run it by a mod/admin before cross-posting anything.
I’ll kick in $20 for now, bringing the total to $3336.
I’ll go for $24 to bring it up to an even number.
