Title: What to do with $700?
Post by: spooie on Jun 03, 2011, 09:22:56 PM: We have somewhat of an office pool where I work based around the NY Lotto's daily "pick three" numbers. After 7 weeks at $100 each week with no one hitting it, my number came up on sunday evening. Meaning, I got the jackpot. But what to do? I'll probably put it towards computer stuff or camera stuff down the line. Say you folks had $700 and DIDN'T need to spend it on paying off outstanding bills or anything like that, what would you put it towards? I can probably buy around 700 tacos, so that is something.

But I need half the money up front. This is non-negotiable.

Also, I need it in pesos, that most magical of imaginary currencies.

Willie Nelson having sex.

You're welcome.

Post by: Rama on Jun 04, 2011, 02:03:17 AM: Yeah, but he keeps having sex with the same woman over and over again, even though he has wore a giant hole in her front.

Is that true?

You can't make shit like that up, it must be true.

Or maybe it's because I have a very slippery penis. Hmm...

You don't need to do that, just register to run as a democrat for some local office in the fall and all will fall into place in no time.

Post by: Rodent of Unusual Size on Jun 04, 2011, 10:02:30 PM: $700? I can think of a number of things, but here's some off the top of my head....half down on a new HDTV or laptop...pick up a brand-new Glock w/laser sights and ammo...blow at eBay on all those new TFs that never hit local retail outlets (GODDAMMIT!)...
