im gonna ask a dumb question: whys it called a mouse pledge?

If I recall correctly, all money received from mouse pledges is earmarked to help support the station's online presence. I'm not sure why "mouse" specifically was chosen, but that's the connection (I think).
Don't computers have mice?  Or is that only Fabio?

I think I've heard Ken call it the "Mouse-a-Day" or "Mouse-of-the-Day" pledge, but that doesn't help me understand it.

It's because they had a pledge level called "House of Tomorrow" back when they had to move studios.
Too soon?

Can I pledge during one show and get another show's premium?  I think I'd like to support Night People this time but I think the DVD+Trading Cards is a more compelling bit of swag, and I don't have enough to get both.  *I would guess so since you can order more than one premium at once and you have to select it when you pledge.

You don't have to select anything when you pledge - you get a thing in the mail a few weeks after, so you could conceivably call during Night people and then select something else when you get the form in the mail.

I tried that.  It didn't work, for me.

The website says the 2002 shirt is still available. Not sure if that's the Landscaping shirt but I think it might be.
