Hmmm... with all these impressive names on the list, I think there will be a good chance I'll be holding the pig... I better get practicing... how much did you say the pig weighed? One of my cats weighs 12 pounds and she squirms a lot when you pick her up... here kitty, kitty, kitty...

Yay!!! Since Steve won't campaign for himself, I think I'll have to take it upon myself to be his official fundraiser . I think he might just be the contestant who would turn the brightest color of red if he happened to win and that is a sight to see.

Plus he's a newlywed, 7 months and counting. This may be his only opportunity to kiss another female (with the permision of his wife no less) ever again. Someone's gotta feel bad for him and throw some money in the direction of his basket.

(Hey, it's all for a good cause.)

Anne,
Don't worry I think that Steve is a most deserving candidate and will see some funds fly his way. For those teams in the Chesapeake area don't you remember when all those bad calls happen in 2006 and 2007. Well that wasn't because of the rules of the game it was because of steve shade. well not actually but heck if you are still frustrated by the results of those events please donate your money to getting back at the refs.

Personally I think this is a great idea because it kills to birds with one stone. If Steve kisses the pig then Anne will get the residual pig germs also.

Ok, since Steve is a newlywed, that means he has plenty of Pucker Power.
So, I'm going to Share-A-Blonde-Moment-with-Jane - with Steve...

Here goes:

Give P's A Chance -
Pucker Power For The Piggie

Fill the bucket!

Word on the street is that the JVN collection fund has already had at least one $100 donation. It sounds like the other fundraising campaigns need to heat up if you want to see your favourite (or least favourite) contestant win!

[AndyB]

If Karthik wins, do we have any Canadian bacon on hand, or are we letting him kiss an American pig?

[Anne Shade]

I'd except an IOU from you Jenny. I know you're good for it .

Anyone is welcome to contact me if they'd also like to contribute to Steve's fund.

I love being evil, so much fun!!

[Arefin Bari]

If Karthik wins, can we ban him from singing or do I still have to bring my earmuffs?

And this isn't limited to Maryland teams. Most definately, if your vote is a vote of frustration for a bad ref call anytime, anywhere, then Steve Shade is definately where you want to put your money!

[EricH]

And the refs wouldn't have to make those calls if the GDC didn't give them situations to make them in... Dr. Aidan Browne is where you want to put your money in that case. (Lavery would have gotten it, but he's not in there... I say next year's game is called Catch Dave Lavery.)

Though I wouldn't mind seeing Copioli win. He is the first 2-time champion other than Beatty... And he's got a WFA... (OK, so I'm hoping for a few prophecy points in the caption contest...)

It's easy to tell how much my wife loves me here, she signs me up for this and then doesn't defend me .

Aidan, I believe I was on your field when I was a rookie ref. The Chief Referee continued letting me ref, so I either must have been doing something right and making excellent calls, or maybe the chief referee needs to better teach his minions I guess you're admitting that all the bad calls are your fault. So everyone show Aidan the Money!

Don't look now, but JVN has some competition - chalk up a $200+ donation from an anonymous donor I will have the great pleasure of dropping in one of the other contestants' buckets Saturday morning. Which one will it be???

Now, I must ask, who will top that donation? I know you have it in you.

Anyone else who can't make it to IRI who wishes to donate but doesn't already have someone going to the event to get their money into a bucket, I can receive your donations through Friday at midnight. PayPal or personal check are two viable options - the PayPal method worked well today. PM me if interested. I'll even accept donations for my bucket, although with all these far more worthy candidates out there, why would you ever want to do that?????
