Sinchiruna's Caps Challenge Update...

December 05, 2009 – Comments (17) | RELATED TICKERS: THO , KIDS , WIN

Twenties are being tossed around like there's a bull market going on or something... :)

 Chris blogged Friday reminding the community of the Foolanthropy program underway. So many comments were rapidly posted, Chris offered to match the $20 that reaching 200 comments would earn. 

Caps members went crazy on their keyboards, donating comments & money. TMFers started coming out of the woodwork, pledging to match his 20 bucks if he could reach his goal. Tom & David Gardner upped the stakes with their pledges, and Tom upped the ante with a 250 comments requirement. Cato saw Tom's challenge, rolled his eyes, and nailed the 250 pretty much single handedly. Chuckling to himself over his profitable gold investments, Sinch saw their pledge, raised it, and received more pledges if the Caps community can post 1000 comments on just that one blog.   

catoismymotor & blesto are now high risk candidates for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. 

TMFKnightly is writing the lyrics to American Pie....line. by. line. 

There's movie trivia, free association, obscure musings, bad jokes, Mayan creation stories, random quotes, book reviews, philosophical questions, a 'hi mom', Tivo recording dilemmas, cheering, one smiling dog, menu suggestions, weather updates, a gaseous bunny, and, of course, the age old question...Ginger or Mary Ann?

Total raised by Sinch's blog is over $900.00 right now, with 530 comments & climbing. 

More comments are needed!

It is indeed tax deductible, and your donation will go straight to the school. I'll report the website and donation link once we hit 1,000 comments.

Thank you so much for pledging ... that brings us to $925!! Almost at the $1,000 mark! :)

Thanks Alyce! Thought I'd try to bring people up to date...

Hey Binve, thanks! Saw your blog where you were asking for everyone to unleash their gold & dollar comments! Nice!

Hi AC! Re: your comment on the other blog.  Uh, you just beat me by seconds there in bringing up the Hexadecimal nomenclature to stimulate conversation. Just hate it when that happens! :P   Hope all's well! :)

And once again, to speed you along - to get to the bottom of the blog, hit Control + End.  To make your comment load faster, try hitting the bar to add your comment and then slowly beginning to scroll up through the comments.  It seems to help the computer to get moving.

Fool on, Friends!
