A subscription drive is a good idea, but . . .
. . what premiums will you be offering at what subscription levels?

No way!
Swag is strictly reserved for those attending the BeepBash, IMHO! :)

Okay! Okay!
It was only a suggestion.
Will make sure to bring goodies to BeepBash next year.

While my comment was meant to be humorous . . .
. . it is also part serious. People like to have something to show for contributions, even if just a framable certificate or a coffee mug.
In any case the BBash has limited capacity and many people who are potential contributors have a limited capacity for beer bashes and long distance travel. BBash swag can be specific to the BBash.

Swag is the Shizz!
Everybody likes Schtuff!
How 'bout I do it anyhoo! There! NYAH NYAH NYAH. LOL
I can be Greg's Fulfillment Center (ooooooh! That sounds soooo dirty!!!)
But who's to say what I will send you. Hmmmmm, I'll send Andrew, let's see...a dirty sock! and then to Mike, perhaps a cheesy toy from a fast food establishment!
And then there is the perennial favorite....Critter's Old Toothbrush!!! That will go to the highest donor :0)
After all, recycling --is-- the morally responsible way to go. Tee Hee.
Peace, sweeties!

I've already said it doesn't count if you do it on porpoise!
But what I was really going to say was, I think you must have meant to say "ma chère". (And it'd be "mon cher", probably without any accent and definitely without the final 'e', if it were a bloke.) (Right, Jake?)
HTH!

C'\ufffdtait paresse en ressuscitant cette 'e grave' y'see?
As to Ma ch\ufffdre / Mon cher - (and aside from the rotate-90\ufffd)
Well.. cher can also connote 'expensive' - non?
And a deliberate sub-tle substitution has been known to really bring the wry into that
[As Shrub is said to have said - but is clearly too dense ever to have conceived - Is there a French word for nuance?]
..idea of nuanced repartee.
Indubitably is (are) there nuance(s) I shall never assimilate (did I mention sloth?)
(And had I said it Too Well - ummm I dunno how Big that Critter-guy might Be! y'know? :-0)

Nah... ma cherie is definitely what you'd hear on the street
"cher" is usually reserved for things that cost a boatload of money, as in "Le metro n'est pas cher, mais il n'est pas gratuit!" seen on posters a while back to get the public to swallow a price increase. The inference to be drawn from all that is is left to the reader.

Hmmm . . . a dirty sock.
Well, let's see. I'll toss it on the bedroom floor. In the morning I'll pick it up and mount it in all its smelliness with a caption saying it's yours and that I found it abandoned on my bedroom floor in the morning.

PS,
I know I responded to my own post, but it is because it was an afterthought and I forgot I coulda edited the original. WHOOPSIE DAISY! Damn! I hate it when my grey matter misfires. Need to take it in for a tune up. Hmmmmm, I think the bar/er place around the corner does a good job. Will put it on my list of things to do.
