View Full Version : SORNSSA -- Ruf/Nek shotgun dealio



Okla-homey

It would be nice if this could be a sticky til April 12th.

That's right, the...
South Oval Ruf/Nek Shotgun Sponsorship Agreement

http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/5682/shotgun10zw2la.png (http://imageshack.us)

Here's the dealio. Our man Jaux has graciously agreed to front the dough -- 750 smackers. He's obligated himself to the Ruf/Neks because it had to be done quickly as they were almost out of sponsorship opportunities...and he believes you magnificent hillbillies will come through so he can still pay his rent and feed his children. Now, YOU need to ante-up so he's not left holding the proverbial bag.

At the end of the '06 FB season, we will have a drawing from among those who contribute. The winner gets the shotgun handsomely mounted on a plaque shipped directly from the Ruf/Neks making it the centerpiece of any Sooner fan's collection of Sooner ephemera.

The following hillbillies have previously indicated they were "in" for twenty bucks:

SBSB
Bri
Olvetonahill
Jiminy Crimson
Homey
OU4Life
IB4OU2
1TC
Jaux
Harry Beanbag
Norman Pride
Colleyville Sooner
PG
OUHomer
SB68
SoonerBoomer93

Obviously, we need 750 bucks total. Jaux said he's in for 40.00 himself. That leaves 710. If all the above folks come thru for 20.00, that leaves 410.00 to raise. When Jaux hits $710 in total contributions, he'll send back to the contributor any contributions that come in later so you know this ain't no money making scam or nuthin'

Soooo, paypal Jaux 20.00 and you are in the hunt to win the shotgun. Drawing at the last home tailgate so there'll be witnesses and stuff.

Jaux paypal email ID is: [email protected]

Make sure you indentify yourself by screenname in one of the PayPal fields so he knows who's who. Pay up quick 'cuz after Jaux hits 710.00, he's shuttin' her down.

One final note: we get to put two names on it, one on ech side. Jaux and I think it would be cool to put SoonerFans.com SO on one side, but we'll need Phil to say that's okay. If he doesn't, we'll put the #1 voted name on one side, and the runner-up on the other.

Now, on to the pole. Below are the most mentioned names. Please don't vote unless you plan on kicking in 20.00. You are on your honor and stuff. Get to votin'. the Ruf/Neks gotta have the names by April 15 so the pole will shutdown a day or two before that.

Truth be told, unless Phil consents to SF.COM SO on one side, looks like its going to have F'IN HILLBILLIES to starboard and FPOMF to port. (Just based on the number of votes so far and the number of subscriptions left.)

Of course, it could still be thrown all out of whack if dishonorable people vote who don't pay. This is like Powerball, you gotta pay to play and you gotta be in it to win it.

As of 0500 this fine morning (04/04/06):

Total contributions so far:18 people contributing totalling $420 and change...$290 to go.:D

Perhaps interestingly 32 people had voted by 0500 this morning. If they all paid-up, we'd be at $640.00 with only $70 to go.:eek:

Thanks to the following contributors who have each donated at least 20.00 so far!

True story:

A woman came in to see me after speaking with eBay/PayPal. Apparently, her acccount had been compromised and someone had attempted several transactions against her PayPal account. PayPal then attempted to pull the money for these transactions by ACH out of her credit union account.

Now, by several, I mean "50 times in two hours."

PayPal refused to take any responsibility and expected me to just go ahead and waive any fees she received as a result of THEIR security breach. They also sent her an affidavit to sign and have notarized with no notarial certificate attached. I don't know about other states, but Alaska statute specifically states that you DO NOT notarize a document without a notarial certificate attached.

Now, normally, had we been talking about two fees, I'd have probably eaten them. Banks and Credit Unions DO incur costs when checks and ACH transactions are returned, though, and I really wasn't willing to just eat $1000 in fees just so that eBay wouldn't have to pay for their security breaches. I ended up doing it a couple of weeks later because I felt bad for the lady and eBay wasn't budging that they weren't going to pay her fees.

Hence, I do no business with eBay or PayPal. Ever.

I would never put my bank account info on Paypal.

I just do the credit card thingy with PayPal, no bank account info...I ain't skeered, but I just never bothered.

If I am defrauded via my plastic, it's a lot easier to fix, i.e. "Sorry AMEX, you have been had. Not my charges. Thank-you Mr. Homey, we'll adjust your account. Thank-you for being a cardmember."

Seriously, a few years back we had substantial charges appear on our statement from some surf shop in SoCal. I don't even surf. We called AMEX and they fixed it.

I opened up a bank account just to deal with paypal. I opened it with $100, sold and bought a lot of items through ebay.
I do my purchases with a CC as I long ago passed my $2000 transaction limit without being verified(which requires the bank account).
I keep my bank account in the $50 range and if ebay screws me out of it......then Ill live with it.
It helps to have a neighborhood banker who wont charge me any maintenance fees on my minimal account.

True story:

A woman came in to see me after speaking with eBay/PayPal. Apparently, her acccount had been compromised and someone had attempted several transactions against her PayPal account. PayPal then attempted to pull the money for these transactions by ACH out of her credit union account.

Now, by several, I mean "50 times in two hours."

PayPal refused to take any responsibility and expected me to just go ahead and waive any fees she received as a result of THEIR security breach. They also sent her an affidavit to sign and have notarized with no notarial certificate attached. I don't know about other states, but Alaska statute specifically states that you DO NOT notarize a document without a notarial certificate attached.
Now, normally, had we been talking about two fees, I'd have probably eaten them. Banks and Credit Unions DO incur costs when checks and ACH transactions are returned, though, and I really wasn't willing to just eat $1000 in fees just so that eBay wouldn't have to pay for their security breaches. I ended up doing it a couple of weeks later because I felt bad for the lady and eBay wasn't budging that they weren't going to pay her fees.

Hence, I do no business with eBay or PayPal. Ever.
Froz send me a paper check ill do the 20 or so for ya thru Paypal

Here's the latest list of stalwart and stand-up participants in the SORNSSA and proud Sooner athletics supporters...

25 total contributors...we still need 80 bucks to pay this baby off. That's just four more d00ds or d00dettes.

contributor list (and potential owners of a very unique piece of Sooner tradition which will make them popular with the opposite sex and the envy of all their friends):

Note:
One more thing, we now know its definitely going to say SoonerFans.com SO on one side. Since we have a delta between the number of actual contributors and people who have voted in the pole, we're probably going to derive the name for the other side slightly differently.

I propose deriving the name by people on the above list submitting their choice of name directly to moi via peem. The name most often submitted from among the list of contibutors will win. Simple as that. If I get a peem from someone not on the list, it will be ignored. Here's the question, IF that's the way we roll, anybody got a problem with that?

If everyone is cool with Plan B, hold off with the peems until you get the word that we have offishully got the bucks to retire Jaux's debt to the Ruf/neks, then you can get to peeming. After all the peems are in, I'll post the winning name as well as the top contenders FYI.

$750+ recouped . 29 total contributors.

Now, each of you may peem me with your name nomination. Whatever you want, however, a name that involves an explicit profanity is prolly a wasted nomination. I'll keep track and announce the winner when the below folks have peemed....sooner, if it becomes obvious a runaway winner is brewing and I can call it based on the number of noms outstanding being insufficient to knock out the clear front runner. In any case, I've got to cut it off NLT 12 April so Jaux has time to get the names (SoonerFans.com SO & ?????) to the Neks.
