Why We Aren't Sellouts: The Backstory

Well here we are at the first post of this new blog and you are probably saying "This is terrible. These guys are just in it for the money. It would serve them right if they were torn apart by 47 frothing marmots."

Let me explain.

'In It For the Money" doesn't actually mean that we're 'in it for the money.' It's an acronym for a cause we feel very strongly about. One that has changed our lives, our focus, and our personal hygiene habits. It stands for "I Need Indigo Tigers from Outer Rhodesia to Help eat most of Neil's Enlightened Yaks"

I believe very strongly in this cause. Enough to put the full force of my influence behind. Indigo tigers need a voice in this world. And damnit, if I can be anything I hope it's a friend to these poor tigers.

When we heard about the plight of these starving tigers we began to think of ways we could help them. Of course we all the usual methods of helping, eg. passing out brochures, door to door moonwalking, motorcycular throwjumping. But nothing seemed to help. That's when we met Neil with his overstocked fields of contemplative Asian bovine. And that was when "In It For the Money" was born.

Now we spend all of our awaking wakefulness getting the word out, raising awareness and money to bring all the tigers to Neil's yak paddies. And this may be a long uphill battle but a rolling stone gathers no moss and it's easier to hit a bird with two stones. The tigers are counting on us.

If this works, if we are successful in our cause, then I see no reason why we could not raise more money for other causes like "Help Amanda help all innocent maimed rabbits in crisis hop" (Ha Ha I'm Rich) and "Jungles under my protection in new trouble! Often Pirates invade like evil sounding operas, frighten children and seize Hondas!" (Jump Into Piles of Cash) We will be there for as many of these causes as we can because we are selfless, salt of the earth, real people who will do whatever it takes to make this work.

That is if we can avoid the marmots.
