How about if we peel off our drysuits to reveal a dashing drysuit. Complete with fresh-cut flower for our lapel?
Of course, we don't get those nice cutaways agent 007 does...

I might have a shot at this. If I can lose 50# by next spring, I've got a vacation to offer that most people would LOVE!
Well, I can't offer the vacation, but, if I can lose 50 by next year (and get back into my tux) I'll be there, too.

Well Perrone has dissed me...so now my first bid is on Rick aka Hipshot!

Ok, starting the thread here...
The deal...
at the BTS show in 2008, we will host a Bachelor & Bachelorette Charity Auction.
All proceeds will go to stopping the senseless shark killings (or along those lines.)
Being a part of a BA before, I'll start it off with some suggestions...
First, we ONLY do Bachelors. I've seen co-ed events and they never end well.
There needs to be FREE (or cheap) booze. We need to find an organization to donate it. The bids go up in proportion with the eaze of access to booze. More booze = more money and a funner event.
The Bachelors will pay for the entire "date." They will come up with a date package that they offer. The women bid on the man AND the date. The fact that the Bachelor pays for the date is their "admission" to the event.
This needs to happen on Sat night of the event. There is no other time that we will get as good a crowd. But we will be in compedition with other functions.
Maybe instead of tuxs, we all dress up in wetsuits? (Maybe we can get some vendors to provide us with ones for the event?)
WW will know better, but being a non-profit, I believe their bids may be tax deductable if we "massage" the paperwork a little.
So, lets get thinking! Only 51 weeks left!
Some dumb questions: What is "BTS"? When is it? How does one sign up for this slave, er, bachelor auction?
I definitely look better in a tux than a wetsuit. You can always rent one.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

These all sound like very good ideas to me.
We should probably make it be a part of our Happy Hour on Saturday night.
I will see what I can come up with on the free booze/food. I think since I have almost a year to work something out that I should be able to think of something.
Obviously WW will be the auctioneer...
So all you hunks out there start checking your calenders so we can get together a list of volunteers!
