Everybody knows somebody named Matt. On this national holiday, how about a $21.95 pledge drive, to purchase a very useful present for the fearless leader?

What are you saying? You want to walk all over Matt, is that it?

Perhaps we could also get him a flat finish photo that says, "Hi, I'm matte."

I live with a Matt and he sure as hell isn't getting no 21.95.

Uh..unless you count the rent I owe him this month. Then he'll get it several times over.

Last I checked, Matt had arms and legs.

I'll gather a pile of leaves for your friend, Russell. Do you have a friend named Neil who could use some kneepads?

There once was a one legged woman named Eileen, her doormat only cost $10.98.

My name is Matt, and I appreciate receiving gifts of money, goods, and services.

You buy gifts for people on the Fourth of July?

If anyone gets one of these, be sure to bolt it to something. I got one as an apartment-warming gift once, and it was gone the morning after I put it in front of my door.

So far, we have raised 27¢, two stale pieces of Bazooka Joe (with comics somehow already removed), a Fidel Castro rookie card, and an autographed lock of Kato Kaelin's hair.

Thanks, everybody!
