Webathon: It Looks Like We Made It!

Thanks for your generous support of our 2015 Webathon!

In the immortal words of Barry Manilow, it looks like we made it.

We're still a few hours away from a final tally—and if you've got any spare quatloos still stuck in your battle harness, please send them in!—but according to the big red-orange rectangle to the upper right, we hit our goal of raising $250,000 to fund Reason's journalism.

If you still want to give, go here for giving levels and swag.

Thanks so much for your readership and support. It doesn't just make everything we do worthwhile—it makes all we do possible!

More later regarding thanks…

Take it away, Barry:

Congratulations! Good job!

[Fist of Etiquette]

If people can still get fabulous prizes after the deadline, then what's the point of the deadline? I smell a rat.

[Lee G]

Wayne, I'll skip picking a door and just take Tiffany the spokesmodel.

[Ted S.]

Nick Gillespie can't smile without me.

[Trigger Hippie]

Manilow huh? Pffft

Give me some Andy Kim.

~rock me gently
rock me slowly~

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

True story: Andy is my wife's uncle.

Great guy.

Going to see him live this week-end.

[Trigger Hippie]

Nice man! Does he still have that epic haircut? I can't imagine him without it.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

He sure does.

He looks good for his age.

[Trigger Hippie]

Thanks. That made my day. 🙂

[Marshall Gill]

Well, now that the webathon is over reason can start planning their next cruise!

[Rich]

Take it away, Barry

The way I see it, Barry, this should be a very dynamite show.

[simplybe]

Sorry to use this space to vent but I am so sick of the rich and politically connected never being punished.

[Phlogistan]

Rich you and Politically Connected gots some splanin to do

I'm sure there'll be a Hillary post later.
Don't cry out loud.
Just keep it inside.

I don't know if they're politically connected but there are some rich pricks punting about on this blog. Try to consider the Manilow song as a form of punishment. 😉

[AlmightyJB]

It's ok. Most people here hate Hillary too.

[invisible furry hand]

Barry Manilow? I'm taking the donation back

[Ted S.]

Did you want Air Supply instead?

[Juvenile Bluster]

My wife once dragged me to a Barry Manilow concert. It actually wasn't terrible.

Question: Will any portion of the $250k be allocated towards squirrel extermination?

[Lord Humungus]

A new shaker for making Cosmopolitans? Check.
Whack-a-Trump blow-up doll? Check.
Artisanal burrito made by an Illegal Immigrant? Check.

[Juvenile Bluster]

But what about the pot and ass-sex?

[Princess Trigger]

We'll always have the sodomy.

[Ken Shultz]

Being rewarded with Barry Manilow is like winning an earache. You know what would have been better than Barry Manilow?

Anything.

Could have picked Still Little Fingers' Suspect Device or The Dead Boys' Sonic Reducer, but noooOOOooo.

The Stooges' I Feel Alright or even the man in black singing The Man in Black.

At least it wasn't Mandy, and for that I suppose we should be grateful.

[UnCivilServant]

Fuck you, cut spending.

[Ken Shultz]

They're already charging Robby to work here. There's nothing left to cut.

[Swiss Servator]

In the immortal words of Barry Manilow, it looks like we made it.

I'm more of a Neil Diamond fan myself, because in the immortal words of both Mr. Diamond and Mrs? Jenner;? "...you'll be a woman soon."

[Timrekgrun]

Oh, and I had to shill out money for both MST3K and Reason. Keep your stinky swag, Jacket, I'm getting the new MST3Ks on blu-ray.
