Man Boobz Pledge Drive: Begging Cat Edition

Meow meow pledge meow
Meow meow pledge meow

Welcome to Part Two of the 2013 Man Boobz Pledge Drive! (There will be 3 in all.)

If you enjoy this blog, and can afford it, please click on the “donate” button below and sending a few bucks my way. Or, if you’d prefer, a massive quantity of bucks. You don’t need a PayPal account to donate; you can use a credit card, and there are other options as well. If you’re outside the US, PayPal should be able to handle your weird foreign money that doesn’t even have any US presidents on it.

I appreciate any and all contributions. That said, if you’re broke and can’t swing a contribution now, I completely understand. There are lots of ways to contribute to this blog besides cold hard cash — as anyone who’s checked out the comments here knows well.

Your donations — and other forms of support — have kept this blog going through some tough times. At the time of the last Pledge Drive, I was broke and, frankly, more than a little discouraged, and the outpouring of support from you all made an enormous difference to me. I’ve been a bit tardy — in many cases  very tardy — in getting back to people individually with thanks, but I really do appreciate the help. Thanks as well to those who’ve donated since the last pledge drive, and extra special thanks to those who’ve made a point of donating on a regular basis.

I’m not quite as broke now, but I can still use whatever financial support you can give. Thanks again!

Man Boobz has now received some 11 million page views since its inception. Even more impressive: you all have posted more than 300,000 comments. Which is amazing to me. I couldn’t do it without you.

If you really want to get into the Pledge Drive spirit, here’s thirty minutes of a 1980 Pledge Drive from PBS’s Detroit affiliate WTVS:

Serrana, that is hilarious. Perfect that it’s a Chicago paper — I bet David had something to do with that, especially since he is the editor of the Chicago Tribune. And all of its reporters.

It is the work of the Furrinati, slowly scratching its way into the mainstream media.

🙂 I aim to please (but don’t tell that to the dog who is watching me eat dinner right now)

That gif is perfect. Katie would approve.

… and Louis just said “Do not let her see that.”

David, I’ll see about making a donation after the weekend. Fribs has a vet appointment and you know how they eat up the $$$$.

It’s not much, but I found some money to spare. Sent.

(I’m still having WordPress troubles on and off. Seems to be a timeout issue, if I take too long to comment, it fails)

I just donated some of my lady-riddled misogynistic Australian dollars. Take THAT, manosphere!

It makes me want to troll them so hard, but I know that would be wrong. Must. Fight. Temptation…

Eh, where’s the challenge in that? 😀

OT but there aren’t any open threads active: my legs are so. fucking. sore at the moment and it’s really draining and tiring. The thigh muscles down the front are just aching – I think it’s from compensating for the fucked up knee. Neither muscle gels nor OtC painkillers are helping, and I’m thinking I’m going to end up needing some sort of prescription meds, if the doctor even agrees to prescribe them.

I sent you a few bucks, but I really hope that someone will claim you are spending this money on evil, selfish purposes, like buying $1000 shoes. That’s how you know you’re winning.

Kitteh’s: talk to your doc about muscle relaxers. I get the same quad tightness sometimes too, and Soma helps.

Thanks, hellkell! I managed to get an appointment today, thank goodness. Fingers crossed.

PS which is to say, I’ve written that down and will make a point of asking about it. I’d never even thought of muscle relaxers, and I’d rather try those than just painkillers.

You guys know how hard chairs are misandry? It looks like high-backed chairs are misandry too, at least if you’re Riker.

That is not how chairs work…this coming from someone who considers armrests to be leg rests!

Riker’s showing he’s a Manly Dude!

… I wonder if Tom Martin ever tried sitting down that way and fell over? I can just see it happening.

Happy to help, David. I’m glad to hear that things aren’t as tight this time around, moneywise.

That would explain SO MUCH!

Oh, thank you! I need to go call my brother a monopoly female penguin. Our mother said he’s a monopoly whore (McD’s game, not the board game) to which I said “so he’s a female penguin?”. Hilarity ensued.

🙁 That sucks. Interweb hugs if you want them. I don’t know any good advice though 🙁
