"I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man."
"Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a [thousand] dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money."

all this talk about hookers and stereos and TVs...i'd blow a grand on a kick ass BBQ. steaks thicker than ArtMonkDrillz's neck, more booze than Malcolm could drink in 3 sittings, and just an all out great time.

either that or 4 used hookers and a seedy hotel room.

You think a seedy hotel room and four used hookers would cost that much? Hell, you could at LEAST get a Super 8.

fuckin' A DB.

I think I might contribute my summer to have medical tests done on me for money. I don't mean crazy medical tests but just little ones. Easy money. Pwned you should donate your sperm so when my hitman kills you, your genes will still live on.

Investing is the way to go! You'd be amazed how much you can make your money work for you. I spent many years paying what I like to call "Asshole Tax" because I wasn't paying attention to what the hell was going on. I define "Asshole Tax" as any monies I have paid out that I would not have if I had been paying attention. Electric bill late fee? Asshole tax! Need to paint the quarter panel of your car because to accidentally scratched it walking the lawnmower past it? Asshole Tax! I swore to myself that I'd never pay it again and I try my damnedest to others to pay me theirs.

The biggest trick is to only buy things you can afford to pay cash for to begin with and then you can make credit card companies pay YOU to use their card.

For instance, my wife and I bought a 50" plasma last summer from Costco. The list price was $4K. When it's all said and done, we will pay a little more than $3K. Will pay? We haven't yet and here's how it goes...

$4000 - original price
-$500 - rebate from the manufacturer
-$40 - 1% off all purchases on the Costco Amex
-$120 - 3% off all purchases as a Costco Executive Member (we upgraded just for the TV).
-------------
$3340 balance on the Costco Amex.

Now for the fun part!

We transferred the balance from the Amex to a Visa w/ 0% interest until July '07. Since the Visa isn't taking our money outside the tiny minimum, we invested the $4K the TV originally cost into 9 month CDs earning 6.5%. By the time the 0% Visa ends, we'll have earned over $300 on the CDs. That will push the final TV price down to a little over $3K.

We may very well repeat the process and keep on milking it... look into getting another 0% card, transfer the balance again, put the original cash and interest back into CDs to earn even more. That will make the final TV price another few hundred dollars cheaper. Lather, rinse, repeat...

The best part is the 0% transfers means that the interest we're earning on the CDs is essentially coming right out of Visa's pocket. Visa is paying me Asshole Tax! ROCK!!!

Invest, Baby! Who wants to work forever?

Steaks thicker than my neck?!?! Those would be huge, because, admittedly, I have an enormous head that rests atop a wide neck.

I've reconsidered how I would spend the thousand dollars. I think I would buy an amusement park adn I wouldn't let anyone else in, because I hate God-damn lines!

I would throw in an extra dollar and buy the park and let everyone else in but you. HA. I would however make it manditory that all women stay in bathing suits and I get to the front of the lines because I hate god damn lines too.

It would be pretty sweet for $1000 bucks. I would get those swings from the carnivals and drink 40s on it.
