It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Just seen while looking at citibank's various credit cards: "We'd like to peak your interest, not your interest rate." UGH!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I wanna go back home and keep trying to clean spyware off of my computer. Nothing will happen if you "practice safe browsing" my ass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Citibank ads irritate me anyway. That? A whole new category of...what's the word...right...pique.

Agreed. I think most citibank ads just...miss the point. Like the "Thank You" spots that imply any manner of ill treatment can be forgiven via a simple "thank you."

The idea that a bank is telling me to ignore my money doesn't inspire me to hand it over to them. Which means, all other things being equal, they don't get mine.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Yeah, crunchy-granola yoga instructors and wheat grass-drink advocates can get away with telling me that money's not important and I should stop to smell the roses. My banker better be pre-Christmas Ebeneezer Scrooge and pinch every penny by hand before it goes in the vault.

Woman marries dolphin:

Sharon Tendler met Cindy 15 years ago. She said it was love at first sight. This week she finally took the plunge and proposed. The lucky "guy" plunged right back.

In a modest ceremony at Dolphin Reef in the southern Israeli port of Eilat, Tendler, a 41-year-old British citizen, apparently became the world's first person to "marry" a dolphin.

Dressed in a white dress, a veil and pink flowers in her hair, Tendler got down on one knee on the dock and gave Cindy a kiss. And a piece of herring.

"It's not a perverted thing. I do love this dolphin. He's the love of my life," she said Saturday, upon her return to London.

Tendler, who said she imports clothes and promotes rock bands in England, has visited Israel several times a year since first meeting the dolphin.

When asked in the past if she had a boyfriend, she would always reply, "No. I'm going to end up with Cindy." On Wednesday, she made it official, sort of. While she acknowledged the "wedding" had no legal bearing she did say it reflected her deep feelings toward the bottlenosed, 35-year-old object of her affection.
