Force Mark to wear the costume of YOUR choice for Halloween!

October 23rd, 2008 by Mark Carras

So things have gone a little quiet around here since I cut off all my hair. So I am brainstorming to find a way to kick things back into gear. Sine this is your site too, I want o hear your ideas. What would make you more excited about being active here? What kind of campaigns would you like to see? What kind of contests would you like to see? We have a tiny pathetic budget but we will do our best. Seriously, give us some feedback. We are desperate for your feedback!

So here is the latest idea I have for the site. If someone can beat both me and DarkNemesis618 on the top ten users chart I will not only shave my sideburns live on Saturday Night Monkey, but I will also let that top user pick my costume for our Nov 1st episode of Saturday Night Monkey. Want to see me in a pink tutu? How about suit and tie? Maybe make me dress up like Harry Potter? Ok, I should really stop giving you sickos ideas. You get the idea. If you beat me and DarkNemesis618 on the HAH top ten users chart you get to pick my costume. Of course I need a deadline for this, so let’s say Oct 30th. Bring it on bitches!

Make Mark shave his sideburns too?

October 12th, 2008 by Mark Carras

Well, I have made this challenge before but this time I am adding this to our list of open ended challenges. This means that just like with the challenge to get my wife on Saturday Night Monkey, this challenge will not end until the challenge is met. I hope to add an open ended challenge like this every Sunday night. So stay tuned to this Blog!

So here is the details for this challenge. Beat both me and DarkNemesis618 on the top ten users chart and I will shave my sideburns live on the next episode of Saturday Night Monkey. That’s it! All it takes is one person to beat both me and Darknemesis618 on the top ten users chart and the sideburns are gone!

So the question is, does cGt2099 have what it takes? Will menstrualpoetry go on full attack? Will nowsourcing call in his legion again? Will MrBabyMan stop being such a slacker and even enter the charts (You know we love ya Andy)? Or will it be a user we didn’t see coming? Either way, I say bring it on bitches! My sideburns laugh at your weak attempts!

Photos of Mark Carras shaving his head for Locks of Love!

October 11th, 2008 by Mark Carras

So I made a challenge that if 1,000 stories made it to the front of this site before October 1st I would shave my head for LocksOfLove.org. Well, thanks to everyone for making that happen. I especially would like to thank NowSourcing.com/blog for giving the campaign a last minute surge that made sure we made our goal. Without Brian’s help we would not have made it. I would also like to thank the amazing crew at the Lacey WA Fantastic Sam’s. They not only let me stream the whole thing live with zero resistance, but seemed to be more excited than any sane group of hairstylists would have been. Their insanity made me feel at home. I have not been to a hairstylist since my age was in single digits, but I might start going to them because of their great attitude. Thanks ladies!

So we did stream the event live, but my Verizon EV_DO wireless internet USB connection could not seem to get a good connection inside the building for some reason. I know outside I could get an amazingly fast connection, so it was the building. So it ended up only giving what looked like 3 still shots for those watching it live. Not sure any of the audio came through at all. So we do not have any video. However, while streaming it live the Queen Of Cheese was there taking photos for us. So below are the before and after photos of the entire thing.

Before I show the photos can I ask a favor? I made a rather massive sacrifice for a very good cause. I would love to continue to do altruistic events like this through this site, but I can’t do it without some help. So please do what you can to help us spread the word about this site and we will do what we can to keep up connecting the site to positive causes. Deal?

You ready for a new challenge?

October 7th, 2008 by Mark Carras

So I am now one bald dude thanks to you people. I hope you are happy with yourselves! Seriously, LocksOfLove.org now has a good lengthy donation. They cut a 5 foot ponytail from each side of my head, so their minimum donation might be 10 inches but I gave them 10 feet. We will also be making a $1000 donation to go along with that. Thanks to everyone for helping us with this great cause. If we can keep activity up here, we hope to do many more campaigns that help our fellow man in just the same way. We can’t do it without you though! Some have said they want to see photos, so this will be my priority this weekend to get those posted here at the blog.

So on to the next challenge. This will be a standing challenge. This means that until you meet it, it doesn’t end. Each week I plan to add another ’standing challenge’. Many have said they want my wife Sherri (aka Vaporrub) to be on Saturday Night Monkey. DarkNemesis618 has added a nice little automated “Site Stats” to every page on the main section of the site. I figured I would tie both together. So how about if right before we go live with SNM I check that little site stats box. If it says we have had at least 300 (legit) front page stories The Queen Of Cheese herself will be part of our drunken little crew? So the gauntlet has been thrown. Are you all up to this challenge?
