Maybe I was just zoning out, but I could have sworn she said $25,000. I
was very impressed by that number, I recall. $2500 is quite a bit less

Good things about Twinks:

1) They let admins like me point to them and say "Look, you can't buy

2) They always seem to believe that they can, in fact, buy success if they
spend enough.
3) It's a funny name.
