As groucho mentioned, play the damn "Magic Roundabout" theme on a loop, and people will pledge. Although WFMU listeners might like the freakiness of it...

Maybe Ken should start reciting Delia Derbyshire slash fiction again?

A lot less stuff has been adopted than I expected, but I suspect that there are plenty of "pending" adoptions" that just haven't been updated to pending or completed adoption yet.

Avatar 10:48am kham:

In fact, perhaps playing more T.A.T.U. would be good for pledges in general.

Well, thank you, Cecile.

Ken in turn turned all of us, freaky bootygrabbers, onto this song.

Oh man, Ken's explanation of the Swag for Life plan makes it sound less like the convenient thing I thought it was and more like a damn gym that won't let you quit your membership no matter how hard you try!
Ken seems to be sabotaging himself today. First all the poo stuff, then the "Careless Whisper", now this?!?
