These are just things I write, okay? Sometimes they're profound insights
or funny stories and I'm really proud of them. Other times it's mindless
rhetoric that I've since completely changed my mind about and am ashamed
of. But most of the time it's just words.

My bank got bought out by another bank recently, or maybe it just changed its name or something. I neither know nor care for the causes, there's just a minor impact on me in that there's now a different name on my bank, checks, and credit card. The new credit card just came today, with a very helpful letter. After the number to call to activate the card is this handy explanation:
Use your card to make purchases at over 22 million merchant locations and cash withdrawals at over 400,000 ATMs and financial institutions worldwide. Take it with you wherever you go!
Holy shit! So that's what credit cards are for?!? And to think for the last six years I've just been flossing my asscheeks with mine! AND leaving it at home, so I couldn't even floss my asscheeks on the go. I guess you really do learn something new everyday.
On the other hand, Troll points out that it is not so much advice as a command. "You heard the man!" he bellowed "Go! Make purchases!" 22 million seems like an awful lot of merchant locations for one guy, especially one guy with my credit limit. But then the postscript of the letter seems to support Troll's point: "P.S. Start using your new US Bank Credit Card today."
What if I don't have to buy anything today?
