Wonder what daycare would think if I paid them with those Rob Zombie checks. Would they call CPS or think "wow, that's a cool Mom"??? I'm thinking it could go either way.

Get a check with a motorcyle on it....or an image of that warning you got awhile back from the YELLER! hehe

I like the little sales pitch captions they put above the checks. In Rob Zombie's case it says,

"Lead vocalist and songwriter of industrial-influenced heavy metal, Rob Zombie has reached cult status for his unique ghoulish look and sound."

That pretty much describes you Dave:
- reached cult status
- unique goulish look

Sorry, forgot to sign that one. Hello!

Oh...my....

Rob Zombie checks! Perfect!! Too bad they don't have his drawings all over them. It'd be fun to hand a cashier a check w/ dead bodies all over it.

I like the Tolkein ones...those are different. I just have normal "free bank" checks....with some vaugely Celtishy flower things on them.

Um, but in perusing, I noticed "Vegas" checks. What's the point of THAT?? I mean, it's a total slap in the face.
"Hey, I COULD be in Vegas, but instead I'm paying you guys this ridiculous amount for my power bill....bastards."

did you see the thing on the side about turning your favorite pictures into checks?

you can take all of those screen caps of liz & turn 'em into a checkbooks full o' love.

Snort.

This post so totally reminded me of the George Carlin routine about license plates.

You should so totally get those chick checks; they're a total piss.

I so totally need to stop saying so totally.

Totally.

So...

What I find amazing is the amount of money people PAY on pieces of paper that are designed simply to deplete your finances even more. It's the ultimate example of consumerism.

What is the world coming to?

(Of course I'm sporting "Arte de Mexico" checks in my wallet featuring the artwork of Frieda Kahlo and Diego Rivera. If your checks feature artwork it should be considered an investment instead, right?)

I'm such a nerd--I've always been partial to the Blue Safety checks. Plain. Blue.

Although, when I'm feeling a little exciting--nay: daring, I go for the Safety Trio--not just blue, but three different colors...

I may be a nerd but it beats the [insert bible phrase here] checks any day.

I dunno, Nicole--my idea of runaway (and stupid) consumerism is the way so many Americans PAY for the privelege of advertising a product FOR the company they bought it FROM. This drives me nuts! Anytime I see one of those pricey Coach (and I love Coach, but no "signature" bags, please) or D&B or Louis Vitton bags with the LOGO ALL OVER IT, I just die a little inside.

This theory does not, of course, apply to Bad Monkey t-shirts, which I intend to send a message about who I am, and to support Bad Monkeys.

Oh, and Dave--whatever checks you get, just get them as "Dana Michaels." Apparently you can't go wrong, and you can live in Anytown!

Thanks for giving me something to suck WAY too much of my time, Dave...

I've got the Ottawa Senators logo on my checks. So that, you know, people will think I'm manly enough to be into sports.

Rob Zombie and Kenny Chesney? That's a joke, right? You did those up in Illustrator, didn't you?

hmm. I just use the ones the bank gives me for free. I am boring. I am "standard bank check girl."

Hahaha - my father has the firefighter checks... but then he's a firefighter, so I guess it makes more sense for him to have them! Every time we're out and he writes a check it leads to a loooooong conversation. Rob Zombie checks may be scary, but plain blue ones are less of a conversation piece... and sometimes that's a really good thing!

I think I’d want something with that implied if you even thought about doing any funny business with me or my cheques the secret service would bash down your door.

These aren't real, right? I mean, if they are, I'm going to have to kill myself. Now. Because I cannot live in a world where a market for these actually exists.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Ugh.

Oh. My . God.

I thought you'd made up Kenny Chesney checks.

That's just wrong. So much wronger than the kitten cartoon, but somehow not as wrong as the disturbing-looking winged baby.

Ok now that was just uncalled for.... I understand that you don't like country music and all but when you say crap like that about Kenny you have gone WAY to far.....whether in a joking manner or serious it does not matter. Kenny is a good person and for assholes like you to say stuff like that, it makes you the GAY one.
I have the Kenny Chesney Checks and people seem to like them.

Uhhh... did you even READ my entry? Or did you just look at one small part of it and decide to attack?

I was absolutely NOT making fun of Kenny Chesney (though I do find it funny that ANYBODY would want their picture on check blanks!)... one of my friends is a huge fan and has met him personally, so I would never do that (and yes, she has Kenny Chesney checks). This entry was about ME buying new checks. ME!!! So of course when I say that having Kenny Chesney checks would add to MY gay points, it has nothing to do with Kenny Chesney, or ANYBODY ELSE who would buy his checks. It has to do with the fact that most guys would not want pictures of another guy on their checks!

I appreciate the fact that you are a Kenny Chesney fan, but calling me an "asshole" because I think MY buying Kenny checks is "gay" FOR ME is what's really uncalled for. Do you often read things other people write about themselves and think it's an attack against you?
