Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Update: Hmm. GaijinBiker was there first—here even!—and I missed it altogether. I have so lost my edge.
I thought he agreed he owed 78 cents, this is just 0.002 cents.

Posted by: apostropher at January 31, 2007 10:48 AMthat is a beautiful piece of work. But I can't help but wonder if he could have been clearer by translating .002 cents as .00002 dollars. Probably not, which is just kinda sad.
Posted by: idlewild at January 31, 2007 12:05 PMNot to rain on the parade, but this isn't a check from the original Verizon victim. It's from the genius behind xkcd.

Posted by: Kristina at January 31, 2007 01:19 PMThanks, mrh. The image was emailed to me and I didn't know its origin.
Posted by: apostropher at January 31, 2007 02:06 PMDude, can I get some credit? I linked to the "vengeance" image so long ago (in your comments on the original post) that the link on the Consumerist site is broken now.
Posted by: Gaijin Biker at February 1, 2007 12:57 AMWow. Dude. I totally missed that comment. Jesus.
Posted by: apostropher at February 1, 2007 12:59 AMOh, and now the Consumerist image is loading again.
