Batman credit card? I has one.
No, really. Dah Sing Bank has been offering them for some time.

I have no idea why, no. I think it’s a gimmick for guys who want a cartoon on their credit card that isn’t a girly Sanrio character. Or Doraemon.
Anyway, I got the one in the middle. Because it glows in the dark.
Guess what it comes with if you spend a certain amount in the first month?
A Batman-shaped MP3 player.

I haven’t tried it out yet. I’ll let you know how it works out.
PRODUCT INFORMATION: Pig with club sold separately.

PUTTING THE "VICE" IN "VICE PRESIDENT"
Jan. 19th, 2009 10:19 pmWhile Obama is being sworn in as yr 44th Leader Of The Free World, please spare a thought for poor old Shotgun Joe Biden, who will be serving in the least-respected post in the world: Vice President.
Evidence: Veeps: Profiles in Insignificance by Bill Kelter and Wayne Shellabarger, who profile all of the vice-presidents from Adams to Cheney, and reveal them to be – mostly – “a buffoon's gallery of rogues, incompetents, empty suits, abysmal spellers, degenerate golfers and corrupt Marylanders”.

And to think we almost added “moose-eating hockey mom” to the list.
Anyway, it's a great idea for a book. And it's going on my reading list as of now.
FURTHER READING: BoingBoing has a nice collection of quotes. My personal favorite:
Looking forward to seeing if Shotgun Joe can top that.
Close but no cigar,

FURTHER READING: BoingBoing has a nice collection of quotes. My personal favorite:
In his twilight, Aaron Burr found solace in letters and women, sending breezy notes to his beloved daughter, Theodesia, regaling her with tales of his favorite European prostitutes, rating them by price and satisfaction.
Looking forward to seeing if Shotgun Joe can top that.
Close but no cigar,
