That's funny. It makes me think how creative I could have been years ago when I opened a Columbia House account.



We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

I stiffed Columbia House for the initial free shipment back when I was about 14, they threatened my parents for payment. Needless to say my parents told them to stick it because they didn't order the albums.

always one of my favorite things as a child, signing up for Columbia House memberships under different names, including famous people, did it all the time!

Huh...I routinely leave letters addressed as "Hey Shithead...", mostly on the windshields of asshats who hog parking spaces. They seem to be correctly addressed, as none of them have been returned to me.

I always used my own name. Stiffed them twice. Not so smart over there at Columbia House, now were they?

Remember the 4 free albums for referring someone? When I was a kid, I referred my cat, who in turn referred each of her kittens. Columbia House is very lucky I didn't have pet rabbits.
