Spirit of America Swag
Posted By Russ Emerson on April 28, 2004 at 8:16 am
Like I said in my previous post, Spirit of America still needs your help. The drive to raise funds to build TV stations in Iraq continues.
You can click the button to donate:
The Fighting Fusileers for Freedom have done stellar work so far. Many of the team are holding auctions – the high bidder makes the appropriate donation and gets the swag.
I have nothing appropriate to auction off… except for my own skill. Here’s the deal: a custom-made official Castle Argghhh! CluebatTM:
Bidding opens at $50 — make your bid in the comments. The highest offer that then follows through with a donation receipt that post-dates the auction wins, so be sure to save an e-copy of the receipt that you can e-mail to me. The auction stays open until midnight tomorrow.
(Update: see this post for additional incentives.)
The winning bid/donation will receive a CluebatTM similar to that shown next to the Louisville SluggerTM in the photo above. [Yes, that’s a real full-size baseball bat.] The CluebatTM can be made from your choice of cherry, maple, or walnut. We can talk about design specifics and shipping info after the auction closes. Of course, I will pay all the shipping charges.
“So what’s a CluebatTM for?” you ask. Think “clue-by-four.”
So click “Comments” below and place your bids!
[Disclaimer: the Castle Argghhh! CluebatTM is intended for display and/or moonbat-threatening purposes only. While it may in fact be useful for actually imparting “clue” to the clueless, laws regarding assault and battery in your state and/or municipality will certainly frown upon such use. And besides, you wouldn’t want to mar the finish of such a fine piece of craftsmanship by whacking a bone-head with it.]
Update: for the term “Castle Argghhh! CluebatTM” in this post, you may also freely substitute the term “Imperial CluebatTM“. The Cluebat Project in fact began life as a commision for His Imperial Rottiness, Emperor Darth Misha I.
The winner of the auction may specify the particular name-customization, if any, he or she would prefer on the Cluebat.
Update: Traves at Right Wingin-it is jumping in with a Very Special Offer: the “small arms” version of the CluebatTM.
Update: we have a winner!
Ever wanted a Real Cluebat™?
We have another premium on offer. Ever had your hands itch for a Cluebat™? Of course you have. Misha has one. A real one. It looks like this: Now you can have one. A Castle Argghhh! Cluebat, direct from the…

When I’m elected President of the United States of America I will make TacJammer the offical supplier of Cluebats to the United States Military! After all, besides Cluebat’s perscribed uses, they also serve many other needs such as flotation device, emergency medical splint, and firewood for downed Pilots to use in signal fires!
