Quoted: “We used a zero-down option-ARM loan to finance the purchase of WaMu Center in 2006, and since our rate adjusted earlier this year, our payments have nearly doubled,” said CEO Kerry Killinger. “We had no idea that it would skyrocket like that.”

Quoted: This whole situation with expecting value back for Washburn is absurd on so many levels. The Mariners are like a guy who got suckered into a timeshare presentation in Mexico, and spent $20,000 on a one week per year one-bedroom condo with $1000 per year in fees. Now the guy is trying to find someone in his office who will buy it from him for $10,000 - half price, he tells them - but the reality is that he's lucky if he can simply find someone who will take that albatross off his hands for nothing. He still thinks this is something valuable because, after all, he paid $20,000 for it, didn't he?

Quoted: The basic premise of the MSG150* is this: Over the next year or so we will eat lunch at every restaurant in Seattle's International District (aka Chinatown) and (a) collect interesting data, (b) write funny and useful reviews, and (c) make a million dollars.

You must be Derek's friend before you can comment on this Fave.Pretty funny. I'm glad there's no Issaquah Barbie...I think she'd be similar to Sammamish Barbie but with a stroller and an Acura. Let's move to Medina.
Haha! I saw this too - so funny
Awesome! I love stereotypes. Tacoma's my favorite - They forgot the Korean element though. They also need a Beacon Hill Barbie with a Toyota Corolla.
Love it.
