First, I would like to take a moment to thank those of you who have already donated some of your hard earned cash to Proper Scoundrels, especially in this time of hardship. It really means a lot to us that you are willing to give us such generous gifts in support of the web site. It is quite a vote of confidence.

We really want to keep the site pure, free from ads and pop-ups, and we would like to lose the donate buttons as quick as possible and get back to our regular articles. So, from now until the end of Thursday, we will match every dollar raised (up to a total of $75) to double your gifts. You give $5 and we give $5 for a total of $10. You give $75 and we give $75 for a total of $150 and then we’re done with fund raising season.

We’ll call it The $75 Challenge.

Since I’m a Bond geek, it should come as no surprise I had my tickets for Quantum of Solace purchased a month in advance. I absolutely LOVED Casino Royale (even more than From Russia with Love–my previous all-time favorite), so saying I was excited would be an understatement.
As it turns out, I may have set myself up for disappointment.

My full review after the jump. Spoilers ahead.

Having been out of town all last week, I thought what better way to get back into the San Francisco spirit than to take part in an overturn Prop. 8 march through downtown San Francisco.

Believe it or not, this blag’s one-year anniversary is coming up! That’s pretty impressive considering the last blog Pete and I had together lasted three months at most.
But now, along with Evil Pete…our powers combined…we’ve published over 205 posts, 442 unique links, and 261 photos since our launch on New Year’s Day! Booya!
We have a lot of fun posting here and we hope you enjoy reading. We try our best to help you procrastinate at work.

Now here’s the part where we ask you for money.
It costs about 150 bones per year to host this blag. I paid for the first year myself but I’m hoping to get a little help for ‘09 (hey, the economy’s been rough on everyone). Any amount would help–you can donate $1 instead of super-sizing your Whopper meal, or you could drop all $150 if you make it rain.

I’ll be adding a page to recognize our donors by level:

• Rascal ($1+)
• Bastard ($5+)
• Rogue ($10+)
• Cad ($20+)
• Scoundrel ($50+)
• Proper Scoundrel ($100+)

You can donate now by clicking the button below.
Don’t do it for us.  Do it for the kids. Thanks!

A friend of The Proper Scoundrels recently created a piece of art that I was extremely impressed with for the release of World of Warcraft Expansion: Wrath of the Lich King. Yes folks, we know a professional ice sculptor, doesn’t everyone? Hit the jump for the pictures, congrats Dave!
