Firebyrd, While I agree with your point generally, this sentence's grammar construction makes it a little bit confusing. I know you were saying that the money didn't go to hookers and blow *while* we had nothing. But the way it is written, it sounds like the money didn't go to hookers and blow at all. I bring this up because I don't want confusion over that to prevent donors from donating who are only interested in donating if some of the money is going to hookers and blow. “Eric the columnist didn’t exactly leave us high and dry, with the money going to hookers and blow while we sat around not receiving what we’d paid for.”

My appologies. Apparently I am so excited about the prospect of more SnideRemarks, and the epic conclusion of the chair that I have forgotten how to type the word “would”. My appologies.

I feel I got my two dollars worth and then some!. One tiny request Mr. Snider.... Woudl it be possible to update the audio player on your site to one that does not use flash? So that I might be able to listen to your wonderful (too pandering?) performances via my mobile device or non-flash-running-tablet-of-time-wastery (also known as iPad)... Just a thought... I mean, i woudl love them as a podcast feed too... but i'll take whatever I can get. Consider me in again this year… I feel I got my two dollars worth and then some!.

We got 50 columns in 15.5 months, so around 66 weeks. That's a column every 1.32 weeks on average. Eric the columnist didn't exactly leave us high and dry, with the money going to hookers and blow while we sat around not receiving what we'd paid for. I didn't help fund the kickstarter last year, but I'm satisfied enough with his performance that I'll contribue this year.

My 17 year-old daughter has an advanced case of Lyme disease. She has been bedridden and in constant, excruciating pain for more than two years. She often is unable to read anything, watch anything or listen to anything because her sensitivity issues are so severe. In an effort to find something to entertain her, I have often turned to Snide Remarks. I can't tell you how much I've appreciated your columns. They are the perfect length for her to listen to, and they can make her laugh when nothing else does. We found them after your last Kickstarter campaign had ended, so I am thrilled to be able to contribute now. I am warning you in advance that my comment will not be witty.
