Going Once... Going Twice...

OK, kids, I may regret this, but I'm going for it.

I'm going to employ this fully-functional battle station to do some good, recognizing in advance that I may very well fall flat on my ass.

Ideally, what I'm shooting for here, is fun. FUN!

FUN! is the point.

So, I'm going to hold a little charity auction, and in turn, donate the entire collected pot to the Obama campaign to help fund the upcoming battleground state struggles.

What I need from you, to start with, are the items to be auctioned. Now several of you have emailed me, asking me what you should donate. I am happy to help you narrow down your options. However, I'm hoping half the fun is going to be the process coming up with our kooky collection of goodies.

Think: "Lounge"

Think: "booze."

Think: "prurient."

Think: "religion."

Think: "spectacle."

Think: "pleasure."

This is us, I'm talking about.. We few, we drunken few...

Don't go crazy, though, since I'm hoping to keep this thing friendly. Ideally, you'll come up with something that says "Loyal Drunkin Rambler," that might fetch somewhere between 10 to 50 bucks. Photographs of you and your partner in the throws of love are fine, just please, don't be ugly.

There are a few of you (well one of you) who will not support Obama in any way. That's OK. You can support the Lounge instead, and maybe pick up some swag in the mean time.

Once the loot is collected, then I'll start the auctions, posting them and timing them depending on how much we have, and how much time the campaign has left.

This is a casual auction between friends. Your donations are not tax deductible. In the case of a dispute, I will be the final arbiter.

So, let us know in the comments section what you will be donating. However, please also email me confirmation of your donation, since comments are occasionally too anonymous for me to figure out. As you should know, you can email me at: mrginandtonic@gmail.com

I'm excited to see what you will come up with!
