That's a very good and thought-provoking question.

A new hooker. ;)

Thanks to your inspiration I started this thread.

Seriously though, we have a new house and there's only one thing I REALLY want right now. It's the Onkyo 7.1 channel surround sound system.

3 optical inputs. Enough for my computer, dvd player and PS2. With the leftover money I'd buy your used hooker.

I'd put it towards a new 47 inch plasma or LCD TV for my "under construction" Redskins room.

TheMalcolmConnection 06-08-2006 04:20 PM

Re: If you had $1,000 to spend freely....
 
Don't you hate the construction part? It's like I get to spend MAYBE $50 on it a paycheck because the fiancee is all like, "We need food. We need to pay the water bill. Blah blah blah."

Paying bills is a crutch.

I have all the pain in the ass stuff done. We painted last week, did a nice faux finish on the walls, now I'm just hanging stuff on the walls. I'll have some pics up very soon.

Re: If you had $1,000 to spend freely....
 
i'd also go for a big screen tv. 800-1k gets you a relatively flat CRT of 40-50" or 50-70% of the way to a plasma.

TheMalcolmConnection 06-08-2006 04:23 PM

Re: If you had $1,000 to spend freely....
 
Nice. The painting WAS the biggest pain in the ass. I hope you primed because that was my big mistake. At least I have lots of pics I've printed out and put on the walls. My fiancee and I are going to use Microsoft Publisher and print out huge posters of ourselves in our Skins gear and put above "our" seats on the couch. I'm talking like 6' tall posters.

I'm a goof when it comes to driving directions and I've always wanted a GPS Nav system though I could never justify spending 1K on it. If I had 1K to spend I'd spend it on [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BKJZ9Q/sr=1-1/qid=1149798133/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-6084923-6574541?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=electronics"]Garmin Nuvi[/URL]

Savings bonds. In a few years, I'd have $2,000. :)

Where are you buying your bonds from? Russia? Assuming 5% interest compounded quarterly it'll take almost 14 years to turn $1000 to $2000.

Re: If you had $1,000 to spend freely....
 
TMC, we think alike, because my first thought when I saw this thread title was two $500 hookers.

However, if I was going to be more law abidding, I'd use the money on a really nice paintball gun I think. I used to play all the time back in high school but stopped once I got to college. Now that I'm out of school and so are the guys I used to play with I was thinking that I might take it up again.

On second thought, five $200 hookers would be nice...

TheMalcolmConnection 06-08-2006 08:35 PM

Re: If you had $1,000 to spend freely....
 
No, no, no. I said a sound system AND a hooker with the leftover money. I want to be able to blast the Thong Song as loud as possible while I'm diggin' out.

ArtMonkDrillz 06-08-2006 11:03 PM

Re: If you had $1,000 to spend freely....
 
Do you think a cheap hooker would let me shoot her with an expensive paintball gun? You know, if that was my thing...

:lol: wins the thread.

Personally I'd put it toward a nice Digital SLR camera...I might need a few hundred more bucks though.

Then I'd go to Malcom's house to take pictures of the hooker(s) and post them on the warpath.

TheMalcolmConnection 06-09-2006 08:21 AM

Re: If you had $1,000 to spend freely....
 
You don't need to go to Malcolm's house to find pictures of me and hookers posted on here.

Schneed10 06-09-2006 08:52 AM

Re: If you had $1,000 to spend freely....
 
Good question. I think I'd be going to go to Home Depot. Probably buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if I'd have enough time.

BigSKINBauer 06-09-2006 09:04 AM

Re: If you had $1,000 to spend freely....
 
I'd hire someone to kill pwned, or just beat him up. Otherwise, I would get a real nice poker set, ummm, I couple jerseys, a few tickets, and the rest would be spending cash.

[QUOTE=PWNED]you better invent a new std if you plan on giving it to me[/QUOTE]

Maybe I'll spend my $1k on that instead...I could get an STD named after me in that case.

mheisig 06-09-2006 09:49 AM

Re: If you had $1,000 to spend freely....
 
THEN I'll resell my STD to TMC and BSB for $1,000/each and double my investment and be richer than all of you.

"I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man."
"Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a [thousand] dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money."

all this talk about hookers and stereos and TVs...i'd blow a grand on a kick ass BBQ. steaks thicker than ArtMonkDrillz's neck, more booze than Malcolm could drink in 3 sittings, and just an all out great time.

either that or 4 used hookers and a seedy hotel room.

TheMalcolmConnection 06-09-2006 10:05 AM

You think a seedy hotel room and four used hookers would cost that much? Hell, you could at LEAST get a Super 8.

I think I might contribute my summer to have medical tests done on me for money. I don't mean crazy medical tests but just little ones. Easy money. Pwned you should donate your sperm so when my hitman kills you, your genes will still live on.

[QUOTE=jbcjr14]What's with all the investing? LMFAO[/QUOTE]

Investing is the way to go! You'd be amazed how much you can make your money work for you. I spent many years paying what I like to call "Asshole Tax" because I wasn't paying attention to what the hell was going on. I define "Asshole Tax" as any monies I have paid out that I would not have if I had been paying attention. Electric bill late fee? Asshole tax! Need to paint the quarter panel of your car because to accidentally scratched it walking the lawnmower past it? Asshole Tax! I swore to myself that I'd never pay it again and I try my damnedest to others to pay me theirs.

The biggest trick is to only buy things you can afford to pay cash for to begin with and then you can make credit card companies pay YOU to use their card.

For instance, my wife and I bought a 50" plasma last summer from Costco. The list price was $4K. When it's all said and done, we [I]will[/I] pay a little more than $3K. Will pay? We haven't yet and here's how it goes...

$4000 - original price
-$500 - rebate from the manufacturer
-$40 - 1% off all purchases on the Costco Amex
-$120 - 3% off all purchases as a Costco Executive Member (we upgraded just for the TV).
-------------
$3340 balance on the Costco Amex.

Now for the fun part!

We transferred the balance from the Amex to a Visa w/ 0% interest until July '07. Since the Visa isn't taking our money outside the tiny minimum, we invested the $4K the TV originally cost into 9 month CDs earning 6.5%. By the time the 0% Visa ends, we'll have earned over $300 on the CDs. That will push the final TV price down to a little over $3K.

We may very well repeat the process and keep on milking it... look into getting another 0% card, transfer the balance again, put the original cash and interest back into CDs to earn even more. That will make the final TV price another few hundred dollars cheaper. Lather, rinse, repeat...

The best part is the 0% transfers means that the interest we're earning on the CDs is essentially coming right out of Visa's pocket. Visa is paying me Asshole Tax! ROCK!!!

Invest, Baby! Who wants to work forever?

Steaks thicker than my neck?!?! Those would be huge, because, admittedly, I have an enormous head that rests atop a wide neck.

I've reconsidered how I would spend the thousand dollars. I think I would buy an amusement park adn I wouldn't let anyone else in, because I hate God-damn lines!
