I was just getting ready to leave work for home, and decided to make a quick peek at my checking account balance. There are two debits on my checking account for $57 each that are for a web-hosting company. I do not have a website, and have never dealt with these people in my life! I called the phone number on the entry to verify that I don't owe these people a dime, and then called my bank to report fraud. But, I have to wait until the entries go from "pending" to final before I can file a claim. Now, I'm terrified that someone has my account info and is looking to fuck up my credit history. Damnit.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, you can at least get copies of your credit reports ASAP. It's a pain in the ass, but easy enough to get fraud off, IME.

The status is NOT quo.
Kathy, what they said. Call the credit agencies and set up a fraud alert. I had to do that recently because some jerk at one of the companies that creates checks sold my information.
Okay, that's hysterical! But what's even better? The comments. There are several very offended commenters. BWAH!
Oh I know. Satire, people, SATIRE! It's like Jonathan Swift all over again!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can I be in the band? I'll play French horn. Wait - too boring. How about electronic French horn MIDI controller, used to control synth with sampled car-backfires?

This is so freaking cool (if potentially dangerous, as the article says)--Lucy is going on tour!
The Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds tour! I'd travel to see her, but shouldn't she be in a vault with retina scan access?

Have you guys seen this? It's a crazy lion/buffalo throwdown, with some alligators in a cameo. [link]

No, Dillo has to play the kazoo!
We'll be part of the three piece kazoo section. Dillo can be first chair.
I'll do a brief ocarina solo, complete with KISS-style leaps in the air.
