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?
Buy something nice for a kid, I have someone in mind. I can send you some pictures. ;)
Give it to some needy folks, 'tis the season and all that.
Buy a bag of weed.
The government, help pay down the deficit. :cool:

Stop begging. It is undignified.
So is the descriptor short hand that you got so little money? -_-
Hah. No, it was described as 'mad money' when I opened the card.
odd. :D
-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
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.

The Kindle Fire is awesome
Apple TV has potential. Explain.

Well, obviously then you're supposed to use it to buy a whole bunch of back issues of Mad Magazine. D'uh.

Well honestly all we use it for is Netflix, but for $100 it's totally worth it at that price.
Beyond that it depends how tied into iTunes you are - it can stream all of your iTunes stuff to your TV. If you have a lot of tv shows and movies downloaded hen again it makes it worthwhile.
If hockey ever starts up again <_< I was going to use the NHL's streaming service and watch all the Winnipeg Jets games via Apple TV.
Canned food.

I dunno. As a gift, it's pretty mad. I don't go around handing people c-notes myself. Perhaps it's different in NY.
Are you an MST3K fan? You can get ten Rifftrax VODs; or nine Rifftrax VODs and ten short films.
