Delay: Almost Everybody Poops: I've spent way too much money on buying the VP of the strongest nation on earth a friggin' car.

Nice. Another Urine Yellow 3 for my list

Ooooo, "urine" yellow.

*yawn*

Follow Uncle Joe's lead: LAUGH at them. Silly contrived insults are boring.

Slartibartfaster: Dougie AXP: Link to the audio:

hehehe that was all kinds of awesome, carefully crafted, beautifully designed, elegantly delivered

It's awesome, but it would be a whole 'nother level of EPIC awesome if we could get George
Takei to re-voice it.

PallMall		2012-10-12 09:59:19 PM

RichieLaw... add some higher-end Perks. As you can see, even the $100 done is taking bites. Think of what a $500/$1000 may do?

No mention on Maddow.

LAME!

Bathia_Mapes: GhostFish: I'm sure someone else has already pointed out what a waste this is.
Likewise, I'm sure someone else has pointed out that 20 grand would be better going to the campaign, or better yet a charity.

So I won't be a Debby Downer, and I'll resist the urge to say as much.

And I'm sure that it's mentioned more than once in the thread that the Trans Am will be auctioned off and the proceeds will go to four charities.

Of course you would have known that if you had bothered to RTFA.

FTA: That being said, the internet will still purchase the car and auction it off for charity. All proceeds will be distributed to the Biden Breast Health Initiative, Doctors Without Borders, the Wounded Warrior Project and GLAAD.

I already apologized. If you want blood, I'll go get a razor.

Can you imagine if Biden actually did end up doing a photo op with the car? This could be in the history books.

I just want to say that I love you Farkers. I mostly lurk on this site, but you've provided me with countless hours of entertainment, and for that I'm grateful.

That said, for me this really tops it off (I missed the Romero charity drive). So I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who contributed (I'm pleased with the causes they're donating to) and to everyone who is posting in this thread. Even the trolls/people who disagree with this.

I sent off an email (and a tweet) to those bastards at Regretsy who love jumping on and promoting crazy charitable things. Hopefully they'll see it and pick up on it. I less than three this thread and idea and you crazy people here so much.

Seeing as that is one similar to The Onion article, and under 9k...that would be awesome. We could use the rest to install a sweet ass 8 track and some naked chick mud flaps.

Over $4100 @10:15 EST

So far, the highest upvoted Reddit thread is *ahem* mine *ahem* over in r/nottheonion here Link

But check out these other links for related links:

So far, reddit hasn't been very responsive. Needs more attention, then they can pretend like they came up with the whole thing themselves.

How do we get reddit to be on board and smug and self righteous about it? I mean, we're better than they are.

Well, for the first time in my life I have a REALLY good job, and a LOT of people have helped me along the way, so the least I can do is pay it forward a little. And like I said, I really like the charities they're donating to.

And thank you so much to the Farker who just gave me a month of TF!! (not sure if you want to remain anonymous or not)
