Do you have a microphone?
Every once in awhile I try to put together something different and usual, just to see what might happen, and every once in awhile I ask for volunteers from within the ranks of the readers to try to make them happen.
Last time, I asked for a chunk of mirror space, and got a whole lot of help; and it's not as though people with 300 megabytes of web hosting space are just lying around.
This time I'm asking for help from those of you with:
- A microphone.
- A sense of humor.
- Approximately 10 minutes of time, start to finish from when you get the email.
That's it. Your platform doesn't matter, nor your OS, nor the quality of your microphone, nor your technical skills, nor the quality of your English (although you should be able to read English in order to know what's going on here).
The mics built into most computers will work just fine, you just need to have one and a tiny slice of time to donate to something that will be unusual and may well round the horn to being cool. The more people helping, and the broader the spectrum, the higher the chances.
I'll spell out the details via email, so if it's something you think you could help with, please hit me up: wtfnow -at- drunkenblog -dot- com
Update: Please email to the above address on this one, as if you ping the comments I'm just going to ask you to email. Overnight we got over 40 70 responses, and more are welcome.
However, broadness does count here, and from what I can tell, only 2 of them were female. I know there are a few female readers out there, so surely we can do better than 5% 3%.

Your site is for geeks, so 5% could be the best you could get... Happy Independence Day

The only way too attract female readers is... To Give the Cow a Dress!!! (And drop all of the technical stuff.) Think about it. JoT did the Steve Jobs dress up doll, you could do Carmela the Cow. (Jessie the Jersey?)
By the way, I can do a Clint Eastwood impersonation that would get his detractors riled up. (Don't worry, I'm going to e-mail, I'm not posting my interest.)

Actually, it was the Thundercats t-shirt for me. :)
