Help an old friend out... (The begging thread) :)

Well, nerdles has assured me that I will not be burned at the stake by anti-spam zealots.

He's lying though. :(

Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/paypage/P2R0AN6CTX1868

It's the "Help Cliffy Boy Get a PDA Foundation". Co-sponsored by our friend Nerdles (peace be upon him).

If you have it in your heart to donate, Nerdles is giving out tickets to the premiere of his debut movie Tuxxx. :D

Plus, 3 lucky winners will get to go to Circle K on a shopping spree.

All you have to do to enter is donate...any amount...

Your friend and mine,
Cliffy

No purchase neccessary. Some restrictions may apply. Not valid where this is not valid. Keep out of reach of children. You must be the age of majority to view Tuxxx.

Ummm... okay. Thats an interesting idea

*goes off to start a help gSOLO move out of his parents house fund...

lol

I need one of those too.

You mean watching Tuxxx doesn't intrigue you?

BTW....I GOT A DOLLAR NOW!!!! Woo Hoo!

$1? That's like 75p? I can't, I have to be a US resident to give anything, it won't let me register.

Sorry :(

TE

:(

Oh well. It's the thought that counts anyway. ;)

Yea, I was thinking about donating something, but... ;) :p

Of course thinking about it doesn't get you tickets to Tuxxx.

You are bascily begging, only on a slightly higher level ;)

TE

Actually, this isn't begging. It is an attempt to appeal the the love of humanity in my fellow fk'ers.

Now you ain't going to get very far calling them that ;)

TE

you'd probably get more luck if you get http://www.savecliff.com as a domain and use it to give out some sop story about how your troubles started when your wife left you and now your life will not be complete without a pda etc etc...

and, erm, i sent a cheque in the post.

I think I may be able to upstage that girl who got all her debit payed off. I'll make a flashy website for my cause; and with my experience in markiting, watch out ;) hmmm...

Lets see I'm twenty years old.

Have $3,917.34 in credit card card debt.

Owe $14,135.50 to pay off my car.

Need a $1,050.00 down payment for my new apartment by March 15th.

Thanks for the idea Cliff.
