Gasoline Hobo vs. Credit Card Company

Due to a cunning investment in an old shopping cart, I have been able to vastly increase my trade in recycled goods. This has allowed me to pay off several credit cards, an unfortunately legacy from my freewheeling days as a venture capitalist back in the dot com days (remember freesporks.com? chocolatesporks.com? iguanasporks.com? no? thus my current situation).

Guero got Tagged

Aw, crap. Space Nakji just "tagged me", which I guess means that I need to fill out some answers or something bad will happen.
