my animal seems fairly happy right now and not in need of charitable organization.

That cat is clearly dead.

Thanks for the recommendations and it looks like a great list of charities has been selected so far.

Total donation $80
$1 every number
$13 for Captains #
$10 Wounded Warriors
$10 Navy Seal Families
$10 Stop Soldier Suicide

Hooray! The charity I picked last year, is in it again this year! And from a guy I nominated this year, too! Now I've got a dog in this fight--oops, sorry, animal lovers.

My donation: one pint of blood to the ARC, to raise awareness of the idea that there are other ways to donate besides Straight Cash, Homey. If the 7 hits, I'll throw in another $100.

Actually I ****ed up due to phone posting. 7 was taken so:


daryn
16
The American Red Cross

I think we're going to Chada Thai and Wine afterwards for anyone who wants to attend in Vegas which is my favorite restaurant in the city.

Now I know how horse bettors feel, when they get the wrong ticket, get it fixed before leaving the window....then spend the whole race sweating that the ticket they canceled is going to win.

woot! now 7 is sure to win

Yes! Chada!

what happened??? I need details!!!

I pick Omar.

There Will Be CCR

killa

Thanks for the nominations. I'll pick number 25 and would like to choose Amnesty International for my charity.

Oops, I thought lastnight was march 11th. I guess it was only the 7th tho. who knew!

WalterS

Alobar forgot to "spring forward" his calendar?

chop, i want to be sure we have more money on the table this year than last. Can you tell me if we're good in that dept? If not pls switch my $37 to on each number and i'll ship to decaptain

Thanks for the mentions. I usually view Subscribed Threads and didn't notice this.

Assuming I'm not too late and hoping I'm not too early, I'll pick Food Not Bombs http://www.foodnotbombs.net/ . I know, sounds and is super hippie, but all I ever saw them do is give food to homeless people.

Lock up #25 for Fabian and Amnesty International!
Lock up #34 for microbet and Food Not Bombs!

The nomination period is over, the initial selectees lockup is over, and the alternates are now live. I'm going to consolidate the selectees & alternates into a single group and the remaining 4 wheel slots are now available to them on a who-posts-first basis.

Remaining 4 wheel slots go to the first four of these people to post a valid unpicked charity in this thread:

Dominic
Dids
Fabian
Clare Quilty
garcia1001
NoSoup4U
#Thinman
Omar Comin
(whoever de captain picks as his subchampion)
WalterS
killa

Yes, I know 27 and Alobar already picked subchampions, but my wording was confusing and we have slots open so I don't mind that they each picked an additional one, especially given the thankless jobs they have trying to maintain OOT in some semblance of order.

If we somehow don't fill the final slots by 6pm Vegas time on Tuesday, I'll declare it open season and the first X charities posted in the thread after that get the remaining slots.

Guys, pick a charity. Can't offer you a specific number, that will be assigned.


de captain, pick a final subchampion from the remaining nominee list:

Masta Aces
Nunnehi
Burdzthewurd
Tbab
Sciolist
