  • GIVE ME MONEY

    Well, gang, I want to buy a new car and you're going to help me.  See the car I want costs about $60,000 and you are going to have to pay for it but you won't get to use it.  See I really have to have this car because it's so fancy.  I don't really need anything fancy to get me from here to there but I HAVE TO HAVE IT!  I know it's a lot to ask of you to give me all this money since I haven't been around much and I haven't answered emails or replied to any comments or concerns and haven't really updated things around my site or fixed some of the things I know are giving you problems but damn it, you're giving me this money.  If not, you won't get to see #caturday any more.  And who doesn't want to see cute cat pics like these:






    Yeah you can only view 6 photos at a time






    yeah 6 at a time






    Isn't this 6 photos at a time thing bullshit?  Well it won't be if you buy me a new car....but there's no guarantee that you'll be able to see more than 6 cat photos at a time if you buy me a new car.  Hell, I'm not even telling you the make or the model or showing you photos.  I just need you to give me money for a new car.






    Now wasn't that fun?  IF you want to see more of that you'll give me $60,000 for a new car.  If not, then I guess you can go elsewhere for your cat photos and plan on this being the last #caturday ever.  Well here's the pledge site.  Now...GIVE ME MONEY!  You have 6 minutes.  Also, if any ladies want my cellphone number so they can send me photos of their genitals, that would help toward reaching the goal somehow.

  • Maybe threaten to twist the head off one of those cats.  Or maybe a kitten would be better.  I sold my truck for 380.  Why do you need 60k for a car?  Is that with a lifetime of gas?  And what happens if you crash again.  Do we have to buy you another car?  

  • You'll get your money.  All you need is 300 people to give you 200 bux a pop.  Or you could whore yourself to 60 fat chicks for $1000 a piece.  Hey, fat chicks need lovin' too.  They just gotta pay more.

  • can you lend us the car at least?  i was under the impression that the deal is you can drive it if you pay but can only look at it and comment how nice it is if you don't

    such a cute kitty

  • I wish that I, too, had a failing blog platform that people were attached to so that I could bilk them for a few grand before running off with the money and letting the site die.

    Although I don't think there's malice there, just pure incompetence. 

    I am really going to miss caturday.

  • RobOfTheSky!!!
    @Super_Rob_of_the_Sky
    I hear he has a secret Swiss bank account!
    But, shhh...don't tell anyone!

  • If I give you the money can I at least touch the keys or smell the finger you used to touch the keys? I just think that if people pay, they should at least get something...you know.

  • Your kitties are THE MOST beautiful!!!
    My doggie is bringing $500 to your kitty! Yes, it was the gun that motivated us to give!

    I will miss caturdays! Sigh. And your motivation, and your tat posts, and your lukewarm links posts, and your stories, and your stand-up...and your Cocky...sigh.
    I will miss you.
    HUGS!!!

  • I will pay for the kittehz. Need more kittehz'

    kittehz for puss?

  • how ancient is that computer? your cats are adorable!

  • Cute cat pics :D Sold :D

  • Well, I need money too. Maybe I'll make my own post demanding money lol

  • I'm so desperate to give you money for your new fancy car, may I suggest you rent it out to your rich gullible friends for a nominal fee of say $50 a month?

  • Ok. I'll do it! Do you take credit cards? I'll just mail you one of mine, if you think it'll make it easier.

  • Ah ha! Tumblr was another one to consider. I'm probably in the minority, but a member supported (and I'm not talking about your photo request) blog-sphere has a ring of decency about it. No more stupid unwanted ads etc. But yeah, maybe the request could have been done a little more creatively. Love your caturday post featuring only your kitties.

  • Count me in! We need to save the only prominent Caturday here on Xanga! 

  • Thanks for the laughs. I needed it!

  • I'm sorry, we don't know each other, but I just about died laughing! Reading all the back and forth about whether we should pay to be here is giving me a migraine. I needed the kitty photos. *clicking on the link to support Caturday*

  • I like the idea of just killing the cats.  Make a video and post it.  I think people would pay money for that.

    I am sure you will use your car for good.

  • Kitties!!

    Ah, a master of the satirical , somewhat angry humor. And with adorable cats. I will very much miss you. :(

  • I will go to my xanga grave thinking it was ^that^ that killed Xanga (if the arrows are still pointing properly by the time my comment goes up). Sometimes we kill what we love. But enough said about that.

    It's interesting, this Xanga bailout. It's tempting, too, but viewed in those terms, I just can't do it. It's that whole enabling thing again.

    I will seriously miss Caturday. I'm glad you went with exclusively personal photos in this one.

  • Look, we all know there's no way they're going to raise the 60k. It just won't happen. In fact, since they broke the news, they've STILL been entirely absent. If they actually wanted this, you'd think they'd at least be active on the post, answering questions, clarifying, etc.

    But at the same time, I wish people had even the most basic of reading comprehension skills.

    For instance-

    If you contribute to the pledge, you're already buying your first year. THAT is your fee. I can't tell you how many people have asked why they should pledge, and then have to pay $48 when the site relaunches on top of it to blog. Fracking morons.

    Lifetime does not mean your lifetime. Not in any venue it's ever been offered. Oh, you paid a hundred bucks ten years ago, and now you're pissed that you're getting shafted? Tell me more about how you're an entitled little pissant.

    No, it won't be an exact replica of the WordPress blog that you're getting for free. It will be powered by WordPress, but that's no different than half of the websites in the country anymore. It will still look a lot like Xanga. The features that you're having to pay for on the new Xanga are features you'd have to pay for on WordPress as well- save for the option to have a basic blog for free on WP. (Stupid call, Xanga. Stupid call.)

    Your Eprops? You're seriously worried about losing your Eprops? Oh noes... you won't be able to give minis anymore! CATastrophe!

    Oh, you're pissed off with Xanga and how they've been absent for so long? Tell me more about how you've only been here six months.

    At the end of the day, it does deserve to go away, but don't be fooled people: The Xanga Team doesn't really want, or expect it, to succeed. This is a last ditch effort to say "well, we tried!" But to those people trying to save it, good luck. I wish you the best, I've done my part, and I understand your desire to not be done with it just yet. I share that desire. The best part is that it doesn't matter if another blogger thinks you spending money on something is stupid- it's your money. I wonder why it is that people who "don't care" about this place are so vocal about others trying to save it... or why you're even still blogging here, for that matter.

  • Bahahaha, best caturday ever . I will miss them. And tattoo thursday and motivation.

    But damn, that car thing was my idea. I think we should make a deal. We raise the 60k together and I get a car for 10 000, because I am a very humble and modest person.

  • I lvoe caturday D:  let me know where you go! I'm on blogspot, have been for years, I'll just start writing more regularly there now ha

    cheshirecatsmile.blogspot.com

  • plej syt not werkin >:

  • hehehe oh matt - this post was silly :)

    I do hope you find another venue, because your motivation and caturday posts and even random musings about your life have always been fun for me to read!

  • I want a cat, now

  • Hehe I expected you to get blasted a lot sooner than ya did lol. I can understand the cynicism on the one hand and the almost desperate willingness to do anything to save the place on the other, because I'm a little of both. I've experienced similar losses in other web communities, so I understand the feeling of loss to the max, and I sincerely hope that the Xanga Team will succeed in keeping Xanga available

    On the other hand, and confessing that I have no right to complain because I've never paid for the much appreciated service they've done me, customer service has had an air of absenteeism to it ever since I got here. Trying to talk to someone on the team has felt a lot like trying to break into an exclusive clique - I never really felt like I mattered here. I think that played into my decision not to support with a premium membership more than any other consideration other than the much better uses I put my resources to.

    Whichever way it goes, and as many of your feathers as I may (or may not have) ruffled occasionally, I wish you well - peace and blessings to you and your house. I've enjoyed your sense of humor and at times biting wit, maybe we'll cross paths somewhere again by God's will.

  • Aren't you confusing a "used dust mop" with a "cat"? 

    Anyway, the definitive fund raising campaign was invented by the Reverend Frederick "Ike" Eikerenkootter, known familiarly as REV. IKE.  It was he who media-bombed the Detroit area in the 1960s.  Somebody should research this further.  Maybe you.

    The commercials offered to send you a PRAYER BRACELET absolutely free.  You got an envelope with the bracelet and a form letter saying "The Spirit" had told Reverend Ike to send the bracelet, urging you to wear it that very night and return it before sundown the next day.  In order to solve problems that The Spirit told Ike you was having, you were supposed to take this cross and put it on wood near where you sleep "OVERNIGHT ONLY" because "This CROSS OF POWER belongs to God's Church Ministry. Do not keep it and rob God." Not sending it back (wrapped in cash) was not only holding up your blessings, but holding up other people's blessings too.

    Rev Ike says:  "A lady had a hundred dollars she was hiding. The spirit told her to wrap it around this cross and send it back to me the next day. She did, and before sundown on Friday, she had TWENTY HUNDRED-DOLLAR BILLS in her hand."

    So try that.

  • @bonmots - I love you, woman.

  • LMAO priceless 

  • @chronic_masticator - bitch you know i love you more

  • " somehow" xD thank you for that and we'll see what's going to happen about Xanga.

    In other random news that I just can't help but share with you ( I apologize if it's totally not necessary, which is probably the case. ) , I've heard that bananas are an especially wonderful fruit toward having a healthier lifestyle/ solve some dietary-related issues and such. Turns out, 10 of them have abut 36 grams of fiber which is pretty great for the digestive system, while according to the source, a steak has around 3 grams of fiber. 

    Currently fascinated by those tidbits of information, so if they're of no use to you, just nevermind them. =)

  • Well, you've convinced me!  Here's a million.  It's more than I can afford, but you make a very compelling argument.  

  • As long as I get to take rides in the car for a year, I'll give you monies

  • If Xanga closes, will you be blogging anywhere else?

  • haha I love your cats. Will miss your Motivation and Caturday posts so much.

  • What happens if you are able to buy this car thanks to our donations but then we can't afford for you to maintain it? 

  • Do you guarantee that you will actually buy the car?

  • I need more caturdays. I already pledged 48 for myself. I'm thinking of sponsoring someone who can't afford the cost though.

  • I'm sold, fo' sho.

    And yeah, that's your current pc? I thought mine was old, but DAYUM.

  • @Ghillies_guide - I agree with everything you said, except this:

    [Oh, you're pissed off with Xanga and how
    they've been absent for so long? Tell me more about how you've only been
    here six months.]

    I've been here since the summer of 2005, and I've paid for premium several times over the years.  The Xanga team has never been great, as far as I can remember.

    Again, other than that, excellent points.

  • Btw, do you play piano? I know you've mentioned bass. 

  • @Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - 
    My only point there was to illustrate precisely that fact. As much as I'm glad we constantly had new bloggers coming in, I just get annoyed at hearing them complain like they've been here as long as, say, you- and know how it used to be, or like they've got much of an investment here.

    To me, it's like a newly hired employee complaining that the corporate office is cutting benefits: they aren't even eligible for them yet, they haven't lost something they've depended on. They just aren't getting it in the future is all.

    Picky, perhaps, but that's my thought.

  • 44 comments!  I doubt if anything I say can top what others have posted.  I just found out yesterday about the ... "news".  Talk about shock and awe!  Thinking what my next move will be, but I want to see the kitties!!!  I just can't afford my own rent, so I hope you understand that I don't donate to the cause????  Please forgive me!!!!!!

  • lol You are still so funny!
