I got a 100$ check as a birthday gift.  Not sure what to do with it.  Working in a library I can get most books through that, I don't really buy a lot of movies and again, can get them through the library.

Should i get a Kindle FIre and eat the last 80 dollars?  Ideas for anything else?  Give it to Toys for Tots? 
PDH!

Stop begging. It is undignified.

So is the descriptor short hand that you got so little money? -_-

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Hah.  No, it was described as 'mad money' when I opened the card. 
PDH!

-take the (wife?) out for a nice dinner
-buy an outrageously expensive bottle of wine, or merely expensive bottle of scotch
-drop it in the tin of a Sally Ann volunteer
-buy a overly-expensive computer peripheral - like a mouse or keyboard
-buy a really nice designer tie (if you ever wear ties that is)
-buy an Apple TV
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

1.  Buy a knife and run amok on the rapid transit.
2.  Get 100 bucks worth of meth.
3.  Transfer it to pennies and drop it all on the mayor from a rooftop.
4.  Use it to set up a murder for hire scheme.
5.  Get a haircut like the ancient aliens guy.

That's all the constructive stuff I can think of right now.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You should listen to this guy, these are all sound ideas from where I'm standing.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
