I just got a $13.86 check for nothing!
virtually nothing at least. A year ago I filled out a form on some site since I bought a CD from 96-2000. That made me eligible as part of a class action lawsuit from 43 states against the RIAA for overcharging. A year later it's gone through, and got my check, for just about nothing. And I fucked the RIAA too. this is a good day.

3. I got mine last week
I'm going to incorporate it into a bookart work, somehow. Not even enough for a new CD, but good artistic inspiration...

5. And that's what it will pay for: Nothing...
...Oh, I'm sorry, it will pay for two Big Macs, two super-size fries and two large Cokes.

Per calorie, I guess that ain't such a bad deal.

8. good for you!
Remember that every big mac bought is one more manufacturing job that is the key to turning around this economy!

10. FedEx Sent Me ...
... a check for $1.00!!!

Well, actually, it was kind of a rebate. "Take a dollar off your next shipment".



(This was part of a class action suit against FedEx for overcharging).

12. I'll take it, but..
Considering how I've overpaid, I'd rather it went to the educational purposes described. I was expecting less, though. And at least I just forfeited my right to sue the RIAA in THIS suit.
