$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

do i need 14 toms, and 2 bass drums y/n?

I'm amazed you don't break away from the crazy fundamentalist states and call yourself the Republic of Funkynesia or something.

ha, you do, but not for $600.

i'm thinking of getting a nice crash cymbal, a cowbell + bass drum mount, and an extra cymbal stand. all the little things i've been missing from my jazz/new orleans kit.

No, I mean in order to avoid being ruled by someone considerably less sociopathic.

the problem is, AA, that THEY ARE EVERYWHERE

But that's $168 billion less bullets to steal oilprotect innocent countries from evil terrists!

woah i should buy a drum set if i get all six hundred dollars but i'm married so maybe i get more

You will get $1200 but surely your wife gets a say in how half of that is spent.

$1196 drum set + $4 ear plugs = 1 happy couple!

ok lolol @ que

no, it's 168 billion less to spend on sustainable energy research, space programs, or basically any type of science you'd care to name. the war department will always have plenty of cash.

dude, science is for nerrrrrrrrrrds

war protects us from people who hate freedom and stuff

i will probably be buying an external hard drive, then paying off part of my car.

have you ever thought about taking up the highly rewarding hobby of playing the guitar?

ok lolol @ que

Mr. Que & the Steendrivers

seriously where is this money

you have to wait in line at the white house to get it, tom

that's what all those people are doing

seriously where is this money

^^ actually terrifying political/existential question

actually terrifying political/existentialtotally valid question that no one is asking

It'll almost pay for 2 months of healthcare! Awesome.

Thought shit wasn't coming til like May?

until someone can answer this question in plain english, we're not spending a damn cent. MSNBC has had about Q&A articles about this so far and whenever someone asks "uh, hey, will this be coming out of next year's rebate?" they answer with a complete non-answer, like "YOU'LL BE GETTING $600!!!!" i guess they don't want to spook people out of spending that FREE MUNNEH.

(if it doesn't come out of next year's rebate i'm getting a midi controller with lots of knobs and new glasses. also plastic pocket protector.)

What if you owe back taxes and/or rarely actually file, do you still get this money, I'm asking for a friend.

this rebate does not consider such logistics because HEY LOOK FREE MONEY CAPITALIST DUMBOS

now that's what I'm talkin about

this shit is just going to go straight to citibank's student loans division, i don't see what the big deal is.

Hmm, maybe i should divert some of it towards finally picking up that Thunderbird I've been looking at, since I need to upgrade from my shitty entry-level p-bass clone.

look am i going to get this money if i am a tax paying non-conditional permanent resident but not yet a citizen? does my kid get it too?

The last time they did this, you had to have paid taxes, filed a tax return, and it got added to your income for the next year's return. I may as well just send it back to them in a quarterly payment.

woo..thats me! thanks!

I banked this year with my tax refund: TWO six hundos! I'm going to spend it on rent somewhere for the summer.

I got shit for my federal refund this year and will (hopefully, maybe) be out of the country when my six hundred dollar comes. :(

anybody got theirs yet?

i should really do my taxes.

^^^

I thought the first ones were being sent in May?

Research has shown that most people are going to save that $600 or use it to pay off debts instead of buying something new and magically reviving the economy, so maybe it's not going to happen :-/

oh man my fuckin' philip j fry jpg went bye bye

Payments start on May 2: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=177937,00.html

anybody who uses this to pay down debts is a terrorist btw

Infidel credit card company FUBAR'd my scheduled monthly online payment, and since I was "late", they bumped up my interest rate FOURTEEN FUCKING PERCENT. So instead of an iPod touch or guitar lessons or a DVD splurge or donating to the greater Hartford drug trade, it's a CAPITAL ONE JIHAD (w/ extra Lynndie-flavored comeuppance to boot).

Or maybe I'll just put that $$$ in my savings account and let that 1.25% interest roll up all nice and fat mmmmmmmm.

dude your bank fucking sucks. why do people stick with shitty, shitty banks?!?

uhm let me guess BANK OF AMERICA?

oh capital one.
you said it in your post.
boa has been doing that too.

I'm going to eat a steak as big as my arm and break the remaining $550 into ones on which I will sleep for 36 hours.

Nah, Capital One credit card (one of 284848482392 I have in my possession because I R AMERICAN), but NewAlliance Bank who bought out my most favorite Bank (Savings Bank of Manchester) a couple years ago, and is just as shitty as BOA, except not as conveniently located. Seriously, tho, how do I shot bank that doesn't want to fuck me rotten.
