    Opened my great mail and the SWISS COLONY catalog -also website - tells me my account is now open! FYI - no I did not apply for a Swiss Colony account! It says:

    Pay NO MONEY DOWN!
    Make your first payment in Feb, 2002 (This benefit is only for PREFERRED CUSTOMERS...like you!)

    Monthly payments can be as low as $15 a month.
    You can charge up to $600 and pay only $30 a month.

    Enjoy the convenience of your CHOOSE 'N CHARGE credit plan, and quality gifts from The Swiss Colony.

    Your account # xxxx xxxx xx.

    I flipped over the cardletter , no terms included other than they had pulled me in advance from a credit agency. I guess the terms come with the catalog.

    Well, I wish this one was from Centurion Bank or Citibank - but the trending is definite - I am getting more and more of these things. TU is best - I am not sure what they pull.

    You can buy a LOT of cheese baskets for $600.
    But I cannot make this decision right now - but I do have an urge for a swiss cheese sandwich.
    Hmmmm...

    WOW!!!

    I think I received a fruitcake from Swiss Colony as a Christmas bonus years ago-1991 (the women received a fruitcake; the men received a bottle of scotch). It's probably in the still in the local landfill completely intact. (What is the half-life of fruitcake?)

    Just think, you could use your new Swiss Colony credit line to send fruitcakes to all your friends this holiday season!

    Ridng the trail....

    completely - but the fact that you were a hooter girl in college tells me you probably have a great pair of ...... hooters!

    Just to amuse you, even though I am single, good-looking, humorous AND live in San Francisco, I still can't make a FIRM commitment to only ride the trail one way!

    arooooo! hehehe

    A Couple of comments....

    OK - I have to - "But I don't have a large enough credit line to serve all the fruitcakes in this town...."

    Curiouser - very nice "landfill comment!"
    We should dig them up and send to to Bin Laden!
    Screw anthrax - you're talking about a FOOD ITEM that stops people's digestive systems after one slice!

    So, did you sue them? :)

    Marci,

    I actually did sue the law firm I worked for (not for the fruitcake, should have though--"intentional infliction of gastric distress" isn't that a cause of action?). The judgment paid for grad school. The clue for why I sued is in my previous post in this thread.

    Fruitcake is something you LOVE or wouldn't eat if on a dare or even for $50.00

    I like Johnny Carson's theory - that there is really only one fruitcake, and it gets passed around all over the earth.
