Surprise Fundraiser for Our Esteemed Moderator

[Honu-Hugger]

Shhh...not a word to Joe but over on the "Back Alley not allowed to read this!" thread we are very secretly raising funds to buy a small gift for our most deserving moderator, Back Alley Joe. Information regarding the gift and how you can contribute can be found on that thread along with periodic updates of how close we are towards our goal. Please give generously!!!

We do not want anyone to miss the opportunity to donate if they wish which is why I am posting a second thread -- however this only serves as a general announcement. Please direct all donations and inquiries to the "Back Alley not allowed to read this!" thread, but post some nonsense here every once in a while to keep this thread bumped up on the page. Thank you all!!!

[hiwatt]

The best way to order joes from Europe is via Paypal...

Bump this thread

is there any way we can be more obvious about what we're doing here? now that Joe can clearly read the title of this thread and figure out what the other thread is about?

I was going to say the same thing - If I was Joe I'd be all over these threads like a chubby kid on smarties 😀

it's my opinion that this thread should be deleted ASAP.. altho it might already be too late

Brett , it's a good thing this thread was posted. I don't read threads that sound sort of clubby if you know what I mean. I wonder how many others may have deliberately stayed away from the thread?

Normally if I'm keeping it quiet , I use a PM. I've done that successfully on occasion. So I wasn't expecting this other thread to be 'secret' more a 'hook' to lead into a general discussion. Etc etc. So now I have to read the thread... I'm on it. I think Joe might already know tho after all he has a job as... moderator. 🙂

I'll be in whatever it is.

it's not the thread that I object to.. it's the title of it.. which is basically the same as posting a poster in your office saying "INFO REGARDING THE SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR THE BOSS!".. where obviously the boss will be walking past it on an hourly basis.. I don't think it would take long to figure out the surprise

Shipping?

Shipping?

Hey FrankS, I just bought 4 Joe's at popflash & was charged? $20 extra for shipping? I'm guessing they will they remove the shipping charge? JimG

 

[FrankS]

Jim, that just happened to me too. Tony Rose made assurrances that they would rectify that, and I'm confident they will.

Brett, do you think Joe has enough self control not to read the "Back Alley not allowed to read" thread? Doug thought we should be clearly labelling our effort so that we can reach people (like Jan) who may not read every thread to find out what it's about.

 

[JoeFriday]

ahhh.... then how do I get my $20 back?

 

[FrankS]

ahhh.... then how do I get my $20 back?

??? Really?

 

[JoeFriday]

no, not really.. but we should change it to the "Not So Surprise Fundraiser For Our Sneaky Moderator Who Shall Remain Nameless"

 

[JoeFriday]

oh, and instead of giving him a ZI, let's give him 500 cans of Spam now

You want to engrave the cans? 😀

 

[RJBender]

The surprise, as I see it , is having enough financial support from RFF members to
Git 'er done.

Joe already knows what we're doing.
