Once again, I’m back with another request for donations. We’re still looking at possibly moving to a better host and other ways to speed up and generally improve the site. Both writers and readers are encouraged to donate, and you can do so either by clicking on the donate button in the left sidebar, or emailing me at erik.kain@gmail.com.
Thanks very much for your support of The League of Ordinary Gentlemen.

Due to problems related to a WordPress update, the site's layout had to be moderately altered. Some of the changes are temporary.

The husband went out and bought Fallout 3 Las Vegas unexpectedly but I can afford to toss my beloved League a lil somethin somethin with what’s left unallocated in the budget (Don’t tell the Canadians).Report
DUDE THAT GAME IS SO AWESOME
(I get paid on Friday, I’ll drop some cash when I’m flush.)Report
Thanks to both of you.Report
If I get back from Paris with money- a big if- I’ll likely make a pretty good donation. As a panhandler I used to see would say, “What’s the best nation in the world? Donation! What’s the best city? Generosity!”Report
If not, you owe me a bottle of wine and a baguette.Report
Well, sure. Thing is I’ve saved up way too much money for this trip and my wife has told me, in no uncertain terms, that I’m in Paris with too much money, so I’m buying her a dress. Obviously that comes first. But, I’m sure there will be something left to throw this way. Sadly, it looks like it’s impossible to bring butter home with me, which was my secondary objective, after research.Report
Donation made!Report
Awesome, thanks!Report
It was LOOG or the Republican National Committee. Fortunately LOOG comes first alphabetically.
BTW, the new format looks great.Report
Thanks, Bob!Report
Done and done.
Wait, aren’t I supposed to get like a mug, or a CD of CarTalk’s Greatest Hits or something?Report
Thanks, RTod! Actually mugs and stuff ain’t a bad idea. We’ll have to be more clever next year…Report
What kind of favors can I buy with a large contribution? Can I get an article accepted and praised? A little respect? Will I be called a Gentleman Extraordinaire?Report
But wait! For just the low cost of an additional $7.99 a month you can be a Platinum Gentleman!Report
I’m in.Report
