A Rare Plea to Support the Gavin M. Fund for Evil
Evil is important but expensive, and the jar is really running a bit low at the moment. I’m trying to do two things: Upgrade graphix tools, and avoid ruin while waiting for paychecks to arrive.
So… Have you ever dreamt of Jonah Goldberg trying to eat a huge dildo cake, but being repelled by the Powerline guys wearing clown suits?
Yes, yes I have too.
Whether you give a quarter or a buck or five bucks or whatever, the top five donors to the United Evil Fund will have anything they want Photoshopped into being, via the best and most sweet of quality image-creation techniques — like the good ones here, not just the quick, rush-jobby ones. (This is worth a bunch on the market, believe me: People pay hundreds of dollars for Photoshop images — except not to me because I’m too much of a bohemian to charge for it.)
A deluxe banner for your blog, a logo, a framable poster of Jeff Goldstein eaten by wombats…you name it.
But it’s not about the prizes, it’s about the evil, the evil!
PS: Does that button work? I’ve never done this before.

It works.
Don’t stop being a Bohemian….we loves us some Bohemians.
Even if we’re not Moravian.

I can’t give you money, but I’m told that GIMP is almost as good as Photoshop … and it’s free. (I am not a graphics person, so I can’t really evaluate the claim. Still, hope this helps.)

Jillypants, if you are worried that your donation is too small to get swag, you can always add it to the 3B! group bid. Think about it.

Drop me a line and whisper sweet, sweet nothings to me, PP darling. I’m the persuadable type.
Pinko Punko said,
April 25, 2006 at 22:26
Why it is so simple, snugglemuffin! Just E Gavmo, and say “if my bidsies do not make the top 5, I would solemnly swear that they should go in the 3B! pile for MISCHIEF!!!11!11!!@121″
Nothing could be more EZ-CHEESY!
Jillian said,
April 25, 2006 at 22:34
Well, that is easy.
You made it sound like it was some uber-secret agent thingie. I was all set to go look for my gumshoes, and then I realized that I dont’ even know what a “gumshoe” is.
Are they actual shoes?
Pinko Punko said,
April 25, 2006 at 22:34
It would be awesome if it was gum.
Jillian said,
April 25, 2006 at 22:38

I’m pretty sure that once the name of your wife is revealed, we’ll find that she donated money to John Kerry.
Where are your checks coming from, that is what we deserve to know. As Republicans, we’re a party of accountability.
Just like a typical liberal, asking for donations from your leftist lynch mob.
The Republican Congress has worked hard to pass a lot of things to help the working man. Maybe you should be in favor of making the tax cuts permanent, instead of focusing on leaving Al Queda to gain back power in Afghanistan.
You leftists think the only charity should come from the Government.

Really? Anything? Just how high will the donation need to be to get in the top five? Because I want a picture of the collective American left (I’ll leave it to the artist to figure out how to depict that one) sodomising Haj Ali, but I’m not sure how much I’m willing to pay.
elendil said,
April 26, 2006 at 1:46
Gavin, will you keep this comp open for a few days? It’s going to take time to transfer money from elf-dollars to us-dollars. You’ll know you’ve got mine when you get a sum whose last three digits are sixes.

This better be spent on evil, and only on evil. Otherwise the terrorists will have won.
Gavin M. said,
April 26, 2006 at 2:02
Holy crap, I can’t believe this is working.
Elendil, the secret here is that I’d do a pic for anyone anyway. The problem now is that I’m getting carpal tunnel in my left hand from Photoshopping with a mouse, and need to start using a tablet — and those things are wicked-expensive compared to ordinary mouse-replacement gizmos.

You’d make a good webcam girl, annieangel, and I think you’d probably get more out of the non-monetary rewards than the cash and free gifts. You should consider it.
Gavin, I think you’ll get your tablet.

Now that I think of it, it could have been another writer that bugged me. I don’t always look at the byline. I should, huh?

my venomous and duly evil alter ego sent you a small donation, wasn’t as much as i would have liked to give, but it was the best i could manage for the moment, though i might tack on a little more after thursday

Paypal is the evil enabler of impulse donations, so…good choice there!
Just curious — if someone sends you $1, how much will you actually receive?
Gavin M. said,
April 26, 2006 at 2:59
Thanks!!!
I’m sort of staring in deep astonished near-embarrassment, making a resolution to do good enough stuff to deserve you guys…

Oh, I would SO put that on my fridge! (I am too impoverished to drive a motorized vehicle) [My brother says I must add, lest anyone be disposed to pity me, that I am too much of a disabled crippled spaz to drive a car, at least, to drive HIS car.](The cheap bastid. Just because I get blind spots in one eye. Sheesh.)
Cheers,

On behalf of us sewer workers at LGF Watch, a contribution. Please feel free to steal all and any images from our site! Like this one of Charles Johnson at the Pajmaline OSM Media launch party. In this picture, he’s thinking about the 7 million in wingnut welfare he’s been given to dole out (after his cut).
He’s a happy chickenhawk!

Oh please oh please oh please oh please! I am so broke, but I would so spring for a t-shirt with the flying kitten minions! Do you have a store and I just can’t see the link? When I open the site, some stuff flashes on the right side of the screen, then disappears. And, no, I’m not drunk.

Dear Gavin M:
I have sent my initial fee to you via Paypal, as you requested. I now eagerly await your further instructions so we can transfer the $25 million out of your Nigerian bank account into the special account I have set up for this purpose. I can hardly wait to get my 10% cut. As you suggested, I will not discuss our transaction with anyone.
Very truly yours,
Dan Someone

A nice cheap alternative to a tablet is the ambidextrous optical trackball from Logitech (the one that looks like a one-eyed dragon beast from Mars.)
Even if you don’t want to switch hands, it works without requiring the devastating repetitve strains that plague so many today. And if you do want to switch … I know people think they’ll NEVER be able to switch hands for their pointy instrument, but I took to being “ambidextrous” on this thing like a fish to water (whereas I’m still not there yet on traditional mice, even the ones designed to be side-neutral…). But it eventually seemed odd to be using my (default) right hand with it when I sat down to work.
Long story short, I was starting to feel pain about a year and a half ago, and there’s no sign of it today. Try it. They’re cheap, small, PS/2 or USB compatible, you can keep one in your brief case…
Anyway, I’m not a shill. Just a suggestion.
