Trev, I’ll have you know that Walter’s fur is softer than the finest silk. He’s constantly shedding it, so it’s provided me many a loincloth!

I could also see this applied to the nonprofit sector. They are in SUCH a weird spot where they want to have nice events for their donors, but also don’t want to waste too much donor money on bullshit costs to make things nicer than necessary to raise the funds that actually get something done. I know if I receive a thick, full-color, glossy packet of info, I do not get the impression they are hurting for cash. I wonder if some donors would chip in like this to make the event nice without costing budget? (But that obviously begs the question, shouldn’t they just donate directly to help the mission and stop expecting extravagant events? But booze helps auctions go higher? Dilemma!)

Could there also be a spin-off called Epic Date?
Dating can get expensive! Think of all the dinners and movies and clean close shaves the guy has to cover. Think of all the outfits and lip glosses and curling irons the girl burns through. It’s enough to dissuade even the most stalwart serial dater, and it’s enough to completely crush the prospects of a mediocre dater.

Epic Date: People choose their favorite spinster friend. They contribute to a funding goal to upgrade the clothes, food, and event for an as-yet-not-arranged date. Then, with the awesome date fully funded, it’s way easier for the spinster to snag someone to go along on it. …Like a dowry for the 21st century.
