  1. I'll need to total up the fees, and then the savings... hopefully I break even at this point.
  2. For those of you that bank at the wonderful Bank of America, how many of you have Keep the Change? For those of you that don't know what it is, say you buy something for $1.50 on your check card, the $1.50 is rounded up to $2.00 and the difference (the $0.50 is put into your savings account). For the first 3 months BofA is matching 100% of the difference that is put into your savings account... As a result of this I've been using my BofA check card for all kinds of purchases. And because I live in the wonderful socialist paradise known as Canada, I'll pay for something in Canadian $, then it's converted and taken out of my account in US $. So I get my monthly statement in the mail, and it makes the report I wrote for a class look like a short story. For 1 transaction it looks like: 10/31/2006 KEEP THE CHANGE TRANSFER TO ACCT XXXX FOR 10/30 -$0.66 10/31/2006 INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTION FEE -$0.13 10/31/2006 PURCHASE ON 10/30 AT SAIT-JOHN WARE CAF.- CALGARY AB -$4.34 I'm not using Keep the Change for BofA's great interest rates on their savings accounts (I think my change jar is earning more interest right now!), just for the first 3 months when BofA is matching 100%, then I found out they pay that on your 1 year anniversary . I remember when I first moved up to the frozen white north, I had to use my BofA check card to buy stuff (I didn't have a Canadian bank account yet), I don't remember seeing international transaction fees (just the conversion from Canadian to US). And these fees range from $0.04 to $0.20 (it's based on a % of how much is spent).
  3. Glad to see we're ahead by almost twice as many votes. GBR When I voted: Nebraska - 66.2% (2424 votes) Oklahoma - 33.8% (1238 votes)
  4. To cellmate, "Yeah I got locked up cause I beat a guy to near-death because he gave me a sCUm sweatshirt." Chances are you get a sadistic cellmate, who happens to be a sCUm fan (which wouldn't suprise me), and he pins you down tatooing the sCUm logo on your forehead!
  5. Any of the above are fine solutions, or... I remember seeing a pic on Allfluffs at a bar where a skeleton in a coffin wearing a sCUm shirt with arrows through it, they even had a stuffed raphie with arrows through it. Save the shirt for Halloween (I know it'll be hard, but try) and use it for decoration.
  6. I can't help that I'm not too photogenic or don't know how to pose!
  7. We did the same thing on a different site, except the title was "Post your mug" or something like that (but with mug in the title), so we were all being smar-a$$es about it, and I posted: But seriously: That was taken today, we had an hour to kill between classes. As you can see I'm wearing my thick Carhartt coat because it's -13 outside, but with the windchill it feels like -38.
  8. Following gamecocks lead... I changed mine, but I had something else in mind. GBR
  9. sCUm's got the same amount of class and dignity as Miami! Do we really want that in the Big XII?
  10. i agree with this sentiment here. but only b/c KSU fans are even worse. KSU fans are not very bright or classy either.
  11. I found this at the bookstore. Looks just like it.
  12. Sour grapes... I didn't think there was anything wrong with the calls. Why don't they go have a big cry just like Hawkins looked like he wanted to during the game.

    WOOO!

    Today felt more than just another W. Maybe it's because of the fact I actually got to see the game on TV, or maybe it's the red beer, or maybe it's the fact that we could have a chance at a BCS bowl. Or just watching sCUm get Good game seniors, I only wish I was in Mecca to witness it first hand. Next stop Kansas City.
  14. Bobby was on TV... I saw him. But he has a striking resemblance to Maurice.
  15. sCUm may put up a fight I couldn't even say that with a straight face! KILL sCUm
  16. Neither... But Helmanns over MW any day. I hate the 'zip' that makes MW famous. I found out that Wendy's puts mayo on their burgers the hard way.
  17. POWER I was up at 4:30 this morning without the aid of an alarm clock, that's how pumped I am!
  18. Everyone's only admitting it now? I've been saying that for years! GO BIG RED!
  19. In Colorado, they think the higher the number you have in nation, the better.
  20. POWER I don't know how I'm going to survive off-season, I barely made it through last weekend. I've already booked off work, and told my teachers I won't be in class Friday, so I hope the ABC affiliates I get have a change of hearts regarding the game. Anyways GO BIG RED
  21. I wouldn't expect better from sCUm anyways. But I'm not that worried about the fluffs. Remember they lost to Baylor. sCUm only managed to beat Texas Tech and Iowa State I'm sure if there was a match-up against Temple, the score would be close, real close or a Temple victory.
