1. A telethon or pledge drive repeated so often that it becomes a constant, shameless, begging for money.
2. That period of time every few months when your local PBS station preempts all your favorite shows and instead runs crap you have zero interest in, interrupting it every ten minutes to beg for money.

Get the burtation mug.(bar•a•thon) consist in a long distance drinking race.
Typically the athletes involved in this activity will have to choose a neighborhood packed with bars. The race starts in the first bar on your way to the end of the street/neighborhood. The finish line is usually defined by the angle between the sidewalk and the road (the distant depends on the contestants and the drinks). You will have to get one drink of your choice in as many different bars as you can.
A nice way to visit a city!
