I got my government stimulus check in the mail last week. Even though I completely disagree with the politics behind this plan, I couldn't help but do a little happy dance when I ripped open the IRS envelope and saw a fat check for $600. What did I do with the money? Well, my purchase wasn't quite as creative as my favorite from http://www.howispentmystimulus.com/ , but it'll have to do. Here are some ideas from those who were much more creative and indulgent than me (with my comments included).

5) "Lottery tickets and the casino. I ended up winning almost $2000 and spent half of it on hookers." Well now we know what W did with his money, you can't feel bad about blowing yours…
4) "I bought a puppy. His name is Rebate." I love it.
3) "My boyfriend and I eloped and went on vacation." No, this was not me, unfortunately.
2) "I bought new things for my SecondLife character." I think I used to date that guy…
1) "I donated it to our local zoo to help support the animals." Watch out for the Kung-fu Panda- he'll chop your head off
And me? Well, I went to Best Buy and got a great deal on a 37" Phillips LCD Flat Panel HDTV. It's glorious. And with that, I think I have to go - don't want to miss the Price is Right...
