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

No wait, changed my mind. I'll still do dinner if I can, but I could really use a good wool suit. Just one is all I need, long as it's charcoal and comes with two pair of pants.

This is so 2001.

do they still sell indulgences?

maybe I should use this as an excuse to try per se

Is the Crunchwrap Supreme an indulgence?

that's a penance moreliek

lol i'm lutheran

Wait, is this refund for the first or second inherited recession?

I sell indulgences. So to speak.

OK, hookers and blow--that's an indulgence, right?

absolutionly

kenan you use your $600 as a bribe for a libble invite

I pooh-pooh your childish libble invite. I have discovered stmusic.

(No, actually, I'd still kinda like a libble invite, or whatever else you got.)

i actually use stmusic. i'm glad to see that its library is gradually growing. i got an invite from a friend (lol panicking oink refugees) right after oink went under and it's gotten better recently.

jhoshea extols the virtues of what.cd but i haven't been able to wrangle an invite

pay off my cc

lol at this thread turning into "i will use my $600 to bargain for a means to illegally download mp3's"

i was lazy zinging kenan for earnestly filling out the form on the libble invite thread

whiskey drinking duck is but a tragic dream

QP

OK TOMBOT's Fry coffee gif wins so far.

oh that duck :-/

I felt so bad for that duck, man!

Wait, is this US money? Did Bush give you this? Is it STAINED WITH BLOOD??

no, it's not US money, it's dollars that we're borrowing from China.

honestly with the way the dollar looks right now you're honestly better off spending this now and not saving since no investment you're likely to be able to make is going to match the $$ equivalent next april 15

in fact that $600 is already depreciating at a terrifying rate and nobody even has their grubby paws on it yet. I can't wait to see what the sales flyers look like two sundays from now

keytar, cheesesteak, drugs.

hmm. this will either go to student loans, or maybe finally get me a thunderbird bass.

Or a new video card so's I can play finally play "Bioshock" and "Witcher".

yeah, dealers should be getting very excited about this. hundreds of suddenly liquid customers popping out of the woodwork all at once demanding your product! basic microeconomics and the government working together for YOU

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

mutek

lol spend it in canada

i'm probably spending mine in japan

incidentally us$600 in australia would buy you a plastic fork

can give u tokyo lowdown if desired xpost

?

i'm gonna spend it in canada (thereby stimulating the economy north of the border instead of our), smuggle the stuff back into the states (avoiding paying duty on it, natch), then sell said items at a reasonable markup (and not charging sales tax or reporting the income).

THANKS FOR THE HANDOUT GWB!!!

damn chi kev you have got it all planned out.

Can someone explain to non-American why you're all getting 600 dollars?

because our government loves us very much and wants us to be happy

x-post

To make up for the fact that we are on our way to becoming a second-world country (at least).

Also I'm not sure what I'll spend mine on. Perhaps a nice pair of shoes or laser hair removal. Or a trunk full of subwoofers.

So the American government is giving everyone 600 $? In cash?

What's the story behind it?

Economy's in the toilet. Bush Administration figures if they give everyone $600, we'll all run out and spend it right away, thereby stimulating the economy.

this thread is google result #2 for "six hundred dollars"

Bush Administration figures if they give everyone $600, we'll all run out and spend it right away, thereby stimulating the economy.

Is this a great country, or what?

all caps + dollar signs = top of google search results

i have not received my six hundred dollars yet

Plz 2 join the 'have not received my six hundred dollars yet' club. Membership fees are only six hundred dollars.

Mine’s getting direct deposited into a bank account that no longer exists. I can’t update my bank account # with IRS because trump and the GOP don’t want the executive branch to properly function

just got mine, partner did too, but she still hasn't received the 1,200. anytime she calls the IRS about it they 'transfer' her to a line that hangs up on her. tbh im amazed she can even get ahold of an actual person there to begin with

how much
she said
with six hundred dollars i'll do it

$1400!!

i will be receiving the balance of my "two thousand dollar check" on wednesday march 17

Still no $600
Still no sign of forthcoming $1400
America, why hast thou forsaken me

canst thou claim at least the $600 as a refundable tax credit?
