Really...does anyone actually take this seriously? It's a fund raiser and, as Big Mikey pointed out, should be checked out for legitimacy but is just a bit of fun.

I mentioned the Sgt. Preston Yukon giveaway, here's a link to an article on the particulars:

....so it's a sort of honorary ownership, not the real thing. Interesting that they do offer fishing "rights" to the purchasers...I suppose that they figger they'll make even more money off you as a tourist if you should happen to show up but that's all right, too.

Last time one of these promotions got kicked around on the forum, it was pointed out that it would be in poor taste for one to have business cards printed proclaiming himself the "Laird of Whatever" but other than that, it was just a gag.

Lighten up, people....

Best
