How I Spent My Stimulus
Those bottles are how I want to spend my stimulus (that I still haven't gotten in my checking account yet). Buying wine to stock up my stash would be a great way to fritter away my tax rebate, but I'll probably end up doing something sensible like pay off my bills.
Or not.
If you wonder whether others out there are pumping their stimulus (that sounds kind of vulgar, doesn't it?) back into the economy or taking a more sensible route, check out howispentmystimulus.com.
It's pretty amusing. The ones that made me chuckle:
Brittany from Baton Rouge, Louisiana says: I will be using some of our check for a round trip plane ticket to Chicago for the New Kids on the Block reunion tour. Thanks to you George, I will be "Hanging Tough"!"
Marcus from Tulsa, OK, said: "I wanted to buy these baader orthoscopic eyepieces for my telescope. But my wife said no... :-/ Now, I guess we're "saving"! The Universe wasn't enough for her. Geez."
Courtney from Tampa, Fla., said: "I will be paying off my debt to dell for a new motherboard because i spilled enchilada cheese sauce on mine."
Michael from Minneapolis, Minn.: "Thank you government, i bought me a nice fat sack of Herbage, it may be illegal, but you paid for it America, does that make you an accomplice?"
Heh. Check it out. There are photos, too.
