i shamefully don't have the funds to make a donation this year, but in the spirit of this thing, i will make an axe-bass-shaped ukulele for the FOT who donates the most during the second marathon show.  i can scrawl 'this machine kills tom' across the front, if you want.

if the winner is vegan, please let me know and i'll skip the shellac.

Gosh that's a really good idea on a real cool tiger print background. Way to further shame my rap skills Viceroy Slim!

For the FOT forum member who donates the most, I will congratulate your Doddy for being rich.

i looked through my scrap pile and found some super nice fiddleback birch for the neck. i'll have the woodwork done by the end of the week, but i don't know how long the paint will take.

somebody let me know where this thing is going, and whether it's a righty or lefty.

Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

i wouldnt spill FOT blood for this, but i would give $1,000...which i did!  i hope that brings me one step closer to a ukelele/comic/cross stitch/various wild card(s) posted.

not to mention, everyone did a brilliant job pledging this year.  congratulations (again) to those who gave $$ and if you didnt, im sure Ken and co. wouldnt mind finding a check from you in the coming days/weeks/months.

I gave a mouse pledge, but given some of the bigger donations I know I am out of the running - but any chance you can give me a number on how much it would cost for one of my own? 
Sounds like someone was working as a conduit for nature's natural vengeance.  Just like Jesus.  And some of the others.

This is a one of a kind, non-commercial, woody satire.

If we bring cash into this, gene simmons will sue me.  As awesome as it would be to receive an axe-shaped cease and desist letter, i'm just not in a position to take the risk.

I do appreciate your interest.

Axe-shaped cease and desist letter!  Hilarious!

What's scarier is, judging by the way he runs that Toyota dealership, he'd probably serve the order to you himself, in full make-up.
