F-R-E-E that spells free...

Even better than that little jingle that is now STUCK IN YOUR HEAD FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR DAY is the following deal that will make you sing it with pride.

Free credit score monitoring from Trans Union for 6 or 9 months depending on your preference. While I have never been a big fan of class action lawsuits this one is somewhat acceptable in that you get a service that may be of great use to you. I cut and pasted the 6 or 9 month options below but I strongly recommend you read all about it URL below where you can also register if you so decide. To be eligible you must register before 9/24/2008.

***6 OR 9 MONTH OPTIONS***
You have two options for credit monitoring:(1) Get six months of free credit monitoring services (which retails for $59.75) that includes: (a) the ability to lock your credit report so third parties, such as lenders or other companies, will not be able to access your credit report without your consent (unless allowed by law); (b) unlimited daily access to your Trans Union credit report and credit score; and (c) credit monitoring with a 24-hour email credit notification service.
OR
(2) Get nine months of enhanced credit monitoring services (which retails for $115.50) that includes all the services listed above, plus a suite of insurance scores (which allows you to see your credit information as insurance companies do) and a mortgage simulator service (a customized report that shows the mortgage rates that you should qualify for). If you choose this option you will agree to give up your right to sue the Defendants for certain damage claims (see Question 15) and you will give up your right to receive a cash payment, if any, from the Settlement Fund.

Back & forth with the Movie Snob

So after receiving my free movie code from Big Red yesterday I couldn't decide on what movie I should get. So I went on to the website and figured I would just get the highest rated movie that they had available using ratings from Da Flix. And as I suspected some touchy-feely movie was the highest rated. But what surprised me the most was that a friend of mine who THINKS he is the biggest movie snob ever had rated this chick-flick 3 stars (Da Flix allows you to share your viewing history and ratings). Instantly I now wanted to watch it because at the very least I can now make fun of him for the girly-man that he is.

I get home and pop the movie on and instantly kicked off a text message discussion with the Movie Snob that went exactly like this:

Troy: Watching ur touchy-feely movie (Definitely, Maybe) with Van Wilder trying to act a serious role. Of course u only watched it because Lil Miss Sunshine is in it. And we know how much you love that movie.

Movie Snob: Dude I never recommended that movie. It was ok but it's a movie I would not recommend.

Troy: Never said u recommended. But on Da Flix you rated it 3 stars. That pretty much means u r gay.

Movie Snob: You know how I know you're gay? Cause you're watching it.

Troy: U know how I know ur gay? U watched Brokeback Mountain 3 times when Heath Ledger died crying uncontrollably.

Movie Snob: You know how I know you're gay? Cause you know who starred in Brokeback Mountain.

Troy: U know how I know ur gay? Little Miss Sunshine is ur favorite movie of all time.

Movie Snob: You know how I know you're gay? You know the name of the characters.

Troy: U know how I know ur gay? When Scarlett Johansson got engaged to Van Wilder u were truly happy for them saying and I quote, "don't they make a cute couple."

Movie Snob: You know how I know you're gay? You didn't like Harold & Kumar 2 because of the bottomless female nudity.

Troy: U know how I know ur gay? U LOVED Harold & Kumar 2 because of the bottomless MALE nudity.

Movie Snob: You know how I know you're gay? Life is Beautiful is your favorite movie.

Troy: U know how I know ur gay? U cried when April got the book & told Van Wilder to leave in your girly-movie.

Movie Snob: You know how I know you're gay? You saw High School Musical in iMAX.

Movie Snob: You know how I know you're gay? YOU WRITE LITTLE GIRLY-MAN STORIES ON THAT GAY BLOG OF YOURS THINKING IT MAKES YOU COOL!!!

Troy: OK, you know what? I'm taking that last one personal. I mean, having a blog doesn't make someone gay. Straight people have blogs too. I mean, not that being gay is a bad thing...
