Money Question

[Zeno]

I will receive back from the Feds and my State a total of $1,453.19 in money that I overpaid in taxes in 2004.

How should I best spend this money?

Any and all comments wanted - from the sober to the ludicrous.

Thanks.

whores, always whores. Either that or electronics.

[Michael Davis]

You could be like me and donate to Muslim charities not for any reasons of actual charity but because you fancy showing up on a terrorist watch list.

Buy some more guns, so when they come and ask for it back, you're ready.

That's been on my home page for more than a year, I had forget about it. Thanks for the reminder. I still like it.

Another gun is good. I may get rid of my 9mm Beretta so I need another gun to fill the void.

Nice pics. Babes are better but guns have appeal also.

Good one Mike. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Heh, I'm actually not making a joke. I donated a bunch of $$ to tsunami relief and decided, hey, why not give through Muslim charities?

Just so you know, the gong is for shooting. It's great for sniper rifles as you can hear when you hit the target. A paper target that is 100-800 yards away, and sometimes more, is kind of hard to examine for bullet holes.

No problem Zeno. You should also check out...

That Action girls trailer is awesome. Pure Art in Film Making. Much better than anything El Diablo has on his silly TiVo.

Everyone needs to view the trailer. So I'm bumbing this up.

-Zeno

[Phat Mack]

Simple. Locate SPM and send it to him. It's enough for bus fare to Colma and a buy-in to the NL at LC. Retire off the whack.

well, if it were me,
i'd either get this foosball table (http://www.vdlp.net/tornado/cyclone2.asp)

i had a lot of fun playing on that thing while not-working at Atomfilms. If you were more into air hockey, this looks cool (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7108178905&category=36 275), but 7ft seems smaller than most...

[beerbandit]

you should buy 16,869 fireballs and 4,064 blue airheads, that should get you set for a while


cheers

[nolanfan34]

Couple of these would be cool.

Dearest Zeno,

With you il-gotten funds, let me recommend the following:

1. Smith & Wesson 340pd. Great gun. I love mine, but if you shoot too many .357, you are going to need #2 & 3. Cost: $750. Remaining bankroll: $700

2. Bottle of Booker's. Cost: $50. Remaining bankroll: $650.

3. Vino for Zeno. Order from Michaud Vineyards, http://www.michaudvineyard.com/

Get 2 bottles of each of the following:

2003 Marsanne. Beautiful white wine.
2001 Pinot Noir. Elegant.
2001 Sangiovese. Enjoy the best American Sangiovese with your next Italian feast!
2002 Syrah. Tremendous wine; big and peppery, though it needs some aging to be best.

Total Cost: 275 bucks. Remaining bankroll: $375

4. Lift ticket at Taos. Spring skiing at it's finest. Cost: $50. Remaining bankroll: $325.

5. Fine meal at your favorite restaurant with good company. Cost: $125. Remaining bankroll: $200.

This leaves you a little "Mad Money" that you can spend on whatever you want. I suggest lots of ammo, some Reidel wine glasses, a bottle of Armenian brandy, and some rabbit-eared philosophy books. Enjoy!

Have you ever shot one? You seriously need to try Skeet/Trap shooting. Ray Zee, Zeno, JA Sucker, and many more well respected people on this forum are gun owners, and there is a good reason why. You should try it. Skeet trap shooting is dirt cheap, $9 is enough for 25 clays at my local gun club. They give you a gun, earplugs, shells, and 25 clays for 9 bucks. It's cheaper than golf and it's a lot of fun.

My family just went out to a fancy restaurant as a going away event for my brother who is being sent off to Korea. The tab was over $1,000. The food was good, but not great. I honestly think that kind of stuff is a waste of money. If I was going to spend $1,000 on a meal I would much rather buy a plane ticket and have a $15 diner at the French Quarter. The food there is awesome!

Now that I think about it, none of my favorite restaurants have meals above $30, and most of the meals are below $20. Hell, Yats is $4.50 a meal! Those meals are cheap enough they don't really apply to Zeno's question IMO.

[wacki]

Very good post Sucker.

Zeno, if you are into wine, you have to buy futures. It saves you lots of money in the long run. You just won't get the wine for a year or two.

[Duke]

Light it on fire.

If you wouldn't feel comfortable doing that, then perhaps you should save it.

[HDPM]

Um, Zeno was talking guns,booze and women. He wants to put the money to good use.

[J.A.Sucker]

Futures are generally not any cheaper than the actual wine when it's first released. Often, to get the futures price, you need to be a member of the wine club or have purchased from them before. Usually, the futures purchase just enables you to get a bunch of it before it sells out. You do need to be careful with it, since even the best wineries have mediocre years, and in this regard you are gambling. Best thing is to find a winery or two that you really love and go to a barrel tasting of the wine. Then, you can purchase either the future or when it's just being released. Of course, you still have to wait to drink it.

Futures can save you money if you buy from "up and coming" vineyards, but IMO, the risk for swill is too great unless you have inside information, in which case you can probably get the same deal when the wine is ready to be released anyway.

[HDPM]

Yeah, futures sound cool, but for those of us with minimal storage and budgets it seems like too much.


This thread did prompt me to call and get some more cabernet in tho. I can only store a few cases properly so I buy it and drink it and repeat. If I had massive cellar space and loads of money I'd be buying all kinds of stuff.

Also some of us just can't wait 2 years to get our grubby hands on it.

[Richie Rich]

Buy an espresso machine with a top quality grinder (the grinder is just as, if not more, important than the machine). You'll never order an espresso-based drink while you're dining out ever again, which will save you lots of $$$. On top of that, if you truly learn the art of how to make an espresso, you'll be enjoying drinks that will put any barista to shame.

(If you'd like to look into it a little further, then check out www.wholelattelove.com (http://www.wholelattelove.com) or www.coffeegeek.com. (http://www.coffeegeek.com.) Very good, all-around web sites on the subject, imo. But you're welcome to do your own google search for more.) /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[FrankLu99]

take a nice vacation.

[tolbiny]

70 transcpripts of Nightline. Wohoo!!!

[Matt Flynn]

definitely go shoot some skeet or trap. and go plinking. i LOVE plugging refridgerators. ("...I shot six holes in my freezer / I think I got cabin fever..." and of course "Go to hell Henry" for those of you who have read latter-day Edward Abbey). although dishwashers make much better noises. if you open the door you can shoot at the float valve. hit that right and you really know it. go with .22 or .38 or 9mm so you can shoot by the pound.

get a bottle of absinthe. tell me how it is.

buy a rat to feed to a boa constrictor.

go snorkeling for lobster. try to get one with your bare hands.

buy a really, really good office chair.

get your wife flowers five or six times at random moments.

get an oil change. it's kinda like teabagging only more fun.

buy a whole bunch of teddy bears and donate them to an orphanage.

buy a whole bunch of books and donate them to the county pediatric clinic.

go into a bookstore with a $100 bill and don't come out until you've read your way through it.

get a thick down comforter. and a heated waterbed. sleep well, live well.

and get an ergonomic mouse.

have fun -

matt

Army surplus is great for plinking.

Spend it on a fishing trip. Someplace you've always wanted to fish.

Guns are not stupid, Brusier. But let's put that aside.

Books and a Massage are good ideas. Under consideration.

Your world travelling went well I hope.

Taking all under advisement. Great post and thanks Mr. Sucker. Rarely do you disapoint with a response.

Some form of gun is definitely in the mix for the this little windfall of cash.

Also, I love Cabernet.

I can, unfortunately, recall some short-handed Pot-limit Omaha Hi games were my money flamed out very quickly - and where I wish I had set my money on fire, less wasted time. And you can't buy back time, though many a fool has tried.

Saving is not an option. The world will end soon. Time to blow it all before the apocalypse descends and oblivion consumes us all.

Where I was raised, out in the 'sticks', discarded trash and abandon appliances was the norm and I remember many a pleasent weekend putting holes large and small into washers, dryers, refrigerators, old davenports, and other flotsam and jetsam.

Thanks Matt. I have that Jimmy Buffet song on tape somewhere.

I can't respond individualy to everyone so I wanted to say Thanks to all for such great IDEAS - Large, small, numerous, simple, good, bad, great, silly, or otherwise.
