After a quick first day of requesting donations, the Mustache Rangers have received their first contribution. As you can see by the hastily thrown together graphic of what might be a thermometer, donations are almost up to the $40 dollar mark. And almost $40 dollars is almost $50 dollars. That is almost almost a quarter way to the $200 goal.
If everyone who listened to the Mustache Rangers gave a single lonely dollar, the goal would be met handily. Of course, those are pie in the sky hopes. And while we do own a rocket ship, the pie seems to be forever out of reach.
To make things more reasonable, if 20 people gave $10 each, the goal could also be met. There are many ways to make numbers equal other numbers. Use your imaginations.
Well, it’s time for the Mustache Rangers to have more adventures. Unfortunately, there is still no recording device to capture their adventures. If the Mustache Rangers have adventures without a recording device to capture them, are they still incredibly amusing?
If, by the thirteenth of the month (the date of the next live appearance of the Mustache Rangers), not enough funds have yet been acquired, perhaps the Rangers themselves could request donations at their live appearance. People seem to be more willing to donate money when doing so does not involve the Interhyperwebtron and simply requires the psychical transfer of coins or monetary notes. If you think that this would not be begging, keep in mind that their request would likely lack most if not all of the classic hallmarks of begging, such as getting down onto one’s knees or being a hobo.
By ‘If you think that this would not be begging’, I meant ‘If you think that this would be begging’. I am disheartened that the English language has not yet been replaced with a superior language in which making any kind of mistake, rather than potentially changing the meaning of a sentence, would simply make it clear that a mistake has been made. Thus, dropping a word would always be as obvious a mistake as accidentally adding the word ‘rutabaga’ in capital letters the size of a small planet.
