What are you gonna do, hang me AGAIN?

Hangings have been known to be arbitraty and capricious. I have it on good authority that the Hangman is suffering from allergies this spring and may be a bit cranky. I'd be careful...

Well I was planning on turning in my lurking badge anyway and I certainly can't deny Dogbreath's request for a pic of Mojo Baby II: The Ollie Era (much thanks for your kind words, thankfully she got her mom's looks).

Not pictured is the UConn #34 beanie bear she had in her stroller, as well as the Husky mobile hanging over her crib. I did everything I could to keep Husky Wear in business.

A big thank you to everyone that led both of these incredible efforts. Raising over 30K for the pump seemingly without breaking a sweat and the late rally to 5th place in the Challenge was just amazing and I was proud to be a part of it. Hope we can make up even more ground from now till August 30. Another hanging of ZLS seems like a sure fire way to beat Cigna. Let's make it happen.

Awesome first post. Adorable daughter. I'm proud to hand the Mojo Baby crown over...

To bump up Puneet's credentials, when I mentioned the bear she had was #34, he immediately said Soulemayne Wane.

Not Ray Allen.
 
Got another $300. I may just be able to squeak Team Boneyard over the line. We currently sit $525 short (see below). Got a few more pledges lined up totaling more than $525. Let's see if they come through though. I'm on the case at any rate.

I keep raising my personal fundraising goal and more donations keep coming in? That strategy seems to be panning out.

Boneyard Team Fundraising Goal:$10,000.00
Total Raised:$9,475.00

I checked the team totals and am surprised again.....we still sit in 5th place, but are now in position to move up into 2nd, shooting by companies like Comcast and RisCassi and Davis if we could get it up to 11K. In any case, great job inteligenztrecstrerztusteracgrster and others who have added to the total. I see the jleves contingent have had their fundraising efforts added to the total.

OK, so the goal is $11k now? I gotta find $1,500 somehow. Might be difficult...never say die though.

I've still got an outstanding $500 donation, which I'm going to follow up with utmost aggression. I'm through with letting him take the line out. I'm going to attach him now, hope he's tired.

Also, I've got a retired wealthy couple, who are sending a check of unknown amount (could be big, or could be like your typical rich tightwads). My three cousins have yet to be heard from, but I shamed them all by informing them that their father (my uncle) donated $300 in honor of my mom (his sister). They better pony up or they'll hear about it at the family reunion. Group shaming is a powerful incentive.

I think I've just about tapped out my other resources, but some people keep surprising me, so you never know. One girl I haven't seen in 20 years donated because of the "kick cancer in the nuts" line I stole from Fishy. She said, and I quote, "you had me at kick cancer in the nuts. classy! happy to make a donation". She's kind of a wildebeest, so that is a bit worrisome.

Oh no doubt...preferably from people other than myself. I'm not a take-one-for-the-team kinda guy. I'll happily volunteer others though. I'll set you up Deep. Don't think the wife will feel threatened by this one in the least.

Do you know if company matches are included in the totals yet?

I don't have that level of security clearance. Fishy mentioned at the walk that he did not believe that any matching funds were added to our Cardiology Center total on the website, but I guess that does not necessarily mean the money was not received.

Got a link for donation to be sure it gets added to the BY Team?
 
Funny - my contribution keeps going up slowly - apparently, they are slowly adding the checks and cash I brought with me. Total of about $930 now. I might get a little more. We'll see.
 
My only question is did that crew go drinking anywhere?? If not...........:confused:

I know they were received for the Cardiology Center, but I was wondering if they weren't included in the Charity Ride totals yet that would boost us up a bit.

There were 5 of us that made it to the bar - Dogbreath2U, Dove, Waquoit, Mrs/Friend of Waquoit and me. Everyone else had some lame excuse.

Congrats to that group for keeping the Boneyard tradition.......I mean I love the fact you guys walked for a great cause but when the BY gets together the suds seem to have their way with us!!

You must have left too soon. The people who hung around decided to go visit the nearest pub.

Please allow me enjoy stewing in self righteous indignation.
