$13.86
just got off the phone with the wife, who told me that was the amount of the check that arrived for me today from the Attorney General for the State of New York. this represents my share of the payout from the class action Compact Disc Minimum Adverstised Price litigation that accused and convicted the major CD companies of fixing prices in the 80s and 90s. all you had to do to stick it to the man was sign up on the website last year and affirm that you had bought at least one CD during the period in question. i had all but forgotten about this, but now i'm rolling in dirty corporate money! i hope there's a check waiting for you when you get home.
in other good news, 50 degree weather is coming to NYC.

i got one! it's enough money to buy a cd!
i had figured the settlement would amount to about $.03/person.

Angie and I both got ours in the mail yesterday. I look forward to losing it at the poker table.

I got my check last week. That, and the discovery of a forgotten, 25-year-old savings bond that has stopped maturing and will be soon cashed, has made for a good found-money week. Everything's coming up Milhouse!

I didn't get mine yet but I signed up. Actually, 13 bucks is a really high amount when it comes to class action law suits--usually you get like four cents and then the lawyers get billions. In another month or so, you can go get free department store makeup b/c they lost a class action lawsuit dealing with price fixing. However, you don't get to pick what you want, they pick it for you, so what's the fucking point in that? They'll probablly give me some spring-colored eye shadow and I'm winter!
