dividends

(FINANCE) a quarterly payment that companies make to owners of their stock. In theory, the source of the company's stock's intrinsic value.

A company's dividends are usually chosen to be as regular as possible; they can be considerably lower than the company's quarterly earnings, provided the company is growing in value. They are important, because they are the direct motivation to buy the stock.
The earnings from stock consist of capital gains and dividends.

diver: 2pm just like you.
2 and a half hours later after practice...
diver:How was your diving practice?
swimmer: barrying myself alive would have been more fun! How was yours?

Let's Dance to Joy Division

Song that apparently upset already depressed Joy Division fans. Kinda pathetic if you look at SongMeanings and similar sites and see their reaction to an indie band mentioning their brilliant band in a song. Oh, the song's also by The Wombats.
Teenager: Hey, did you hear that song Let's Dance to Joy Division? I love it!
JD fan: Fuck you, you don't have the right to listen to that kinda stuff... you little teenybopper.
