DU Auction - thank you bidders
The DU auction was a great success, and we'd like to thank Rabrrrrrr again for his extremely generous donation. The highest bidder is Insider who bid $400 and we will be contacting them shortly to arrange payment and delivery of the painting of their choice.

Thank you again to everyone who took part, we appreciate your generosity!

If you are interested in any of Rabrrrrrr's other works of art, please send him a private message by clicking here.

2. kudos, Rabrrrrr . . . maybe others can follow your lead . . .

some DU members could get together, solicit donations from our almost 40,000 members, and hold an auction -- either here or on eBay -- as a fundraiser . . . I know I have several interesting items that I'd be willing to donate . . .

again, thanks for your contributions and for initiating the auction idea . . .

3. Woo hooo!!!
I'm glad it went to $400! Very exciting!

Thanks to all who participated!

I wasn't around when it ended - went shopping for a new frying pan, decided to go to SOHO to get it, and so ended up cruising galleries and ended up buying a Winnie the Pooh sericel as well (as a gift, though i admit, I'll be hanging it in my apartment until I can give it to the recipient). Oops!

5. Just so long as the club doesn't someday turn into:

"Hi kids, my name is GOPisEvil, and I used to think collecting Rabrrrrrr art was fun. More importantly, I thought it was safe and ethically neutral. As one of the few survivors, let me tell you my story. It will be painful to listen to, and I'm sure that, statisticallt speaking, at least ten of you here were touched somehow by what happened and so this story will be especially painful. But I am devoting my remaining two years to speaking to junior high kids like yourselves to warn you of what can happen when collecting turns into blind obedience of a man whose ego rages unchecked."

9. Sell Flowers? Pfagh.
Edited on Sat Feb-14-04 11:42 PM by Rabrrrrrr
The Rabrrrrrr Club will, en masse, systematically deconstruct every airport on one day and leave nothing but piles of rent brick and steel and the cries of screaming mothers.

Selling flowers, indeed - just the kind of uninspired ideas I'd expect from someone who isn't me.

(I think it's the airport deal that finally gets the Rabrrrrrr Art Club into the attention of the feds)

10. Wow. The Rabrrrrrr Club is HUGE!
I'm so happy to be one of the first. :-) The people in Austin are going to be mad, though. Their airport is pretty new. Oh well...anything for enlightenment.

13. "You will flood Delaware with industrial waste on Feb 19th...
Edited on Sun Feb-15-04 12:22 AM by Rabrrrrrr
...and gather around it's perimiter, shoulder to shoulder, screaming insults at the dying and taking baseball clubs to anyone who tries to escape, or tries to help. You are invincible. No harm can come to you. Military personnel cannot harm you, no matter what lies they may tell you to the contrary. You will do this so my name might be glorified, and through me, your glorification also shall come."
