I actually got one. For $100 US no less. Never happened before.
We bought a refrigerator and they told us it came with a mail in rebate (yeah right). We filled out the paper work in a what the heck mood and mailed it in, never suspecting that we would ever hear any more regarding it. But today the check actually arrived. It's been less than two months!
Incredible...

Any other rugby players here?
I have sustained by first rugby injury!!! I'm actually kind of proud of it, too.
Two, count 'em! Two broken ribs.
The ouch is the whine. The pride is the happy.

Well, I got back from London yesterday evening but was too tired to get online.
(definitely my new record ).Proving that you can't keep a good franchise down -- at least not for more than a day or so -- the SCI FI Channel has green-lit production on Stargate Universe, the third live-action television series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The official press release from MGM and SCI FI is expected later today.
Universe will have a 2-hour premiere in 2009, and land in a regular time slot next summer -- meaning there will not be a production gap between the second and third Stargate television series.
The trade magazine also reported that the show will be set on board a previously unmanned ship called the Destiny, and will involve more space-based action than its predecessors. "Unable to return to Earth, the crew must fend for themselves aboard the ship, which has a preprogrammed mission taking them to the far reaches of the universe," the magazine said.
The producers are reportedly looking to cast a known actor for one of the leading roles, and fresh faces to round out the cast. This would follow the pattern of SG-1, which earned a lot of marketability from leading man Richard Dean Anderson when it premiered in 1997, rather than the largely unknown cast of Atlantis.
The new series will also be aimed at a slightly younger audience, SCI FI president Dave Howe said.
"This is an opportunity to reinvent this franchise and make it relevant to a new generation," he said. "We really don't want to be more of the same. It's going to build clearly off the existing franchise but with a cast that gives it a younger vibe."
"In Universe, we plan to keep those elements that have made the franchise a success, such as adventure and humor, while breaking new ground in the relationships between mostly young and desperate explorers, thrust together and far from home," series co-creators Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper said. "Above all, we believe the Stargate itself remains an enduring icon with infinite potential as a jumping-off point for telling stories."
Wright and Cooper will also executive produce. The two created Stargate Atlantis, which will end its TV run in January (story). An Atlantis movie will also air later in 2009 on SCI FI -- hopefully the first of many.
More information is expected very soon.
this kinda reminds me the parody in SG1's 200th episode honestly though I really like that most of the cast in SG1 and SGA is mature. Makes them more believable as characters. And also the main factor in casting isn't what they look like in a bikini. 
Not that any of the actors is like bad looking or anything. I think they're all great looking. But I don't think they're like "old" at all. I dunno maybe it's just me I identify better with characters in their 40's and 50's I guess... ugh I just hope it won't be one of those shows where the entire cast is like 20something "trendy models" ( 
) who look like a bunch of clones of each other and have been cast based on looks rather than talent and the most "character" you'll get out of them is like "OMG, I once broke a nail in 10th grade and it was so horrible I couldn't stop crying for WEEKS". 
characters/actors don't appeal to me or attract me to a show because of what they look like or how old they are (or how old they act) actually I'd much rather see "Average Joe" and "Plain Jane" on screen than a bunch of model or model-looking people. They all look exactly the same and the stereotypical model look makes me gag. In the media it's the model-look that's "average" and "plain".
