I'm here on behalf of the Save a Mustard Monster (SAMM) Foundation, and I would like to speak to you about an issue that affects everyone. No one wants to talk about it, but if there's not discussion things will never improve. I'm speaking of course about Monster abuse. I know that no one wants to imagine that Monster abuse occurs, but it does, and if we don't do something about it, the abuse will just continue. Why just today, I found an abused Monster just sitting in a garage, it had been neglected and abused. It's owner had hardly used it, and just let it sit there and rust, and for only 1,300 dollars I was able to purchase it from it's abusive owner and put it in a good home. It just finished it's 12 step program and it's ready to show the world what it can do. I've included pictures so you can see how much difference your contribution can make. So please, won't you donate today.

:-)

If you ever learn of another that's being similarly abused, let me know. I'm a sucker for those kind of things .....;)

Hit the road buddy. Move to another place on the side walk before I call the cops.


Great buy by the way. Congrats!

In addition to donations you may need an abused Mustard Monster Shelter if you find more....
May I be the first to offer my shop as one of the shelters.
The abused ones will feel at home beside mine.

Congrats on the lathe Stephen.

Doesn't that just figure, a guy ASKS for help, and when another guy is generous enough to offer, you turn him down (I don't blame you a bit!) :D

Nice pitch. If you gave that pitch with a Sarah McLachlan tune in the background, I bet you would get more donations. Okay, now that you have managed to save this one, when will it be up for adoption? I am interested in adopting a monster like that.

All I can offer is an attaboy. The problem is: I don't want to cheapen the whole attaboy system.
