$200 to spend

“If I had $200 to blow what should I blow it on? This is what I'm thinking.

10. Filet Mignon - At $30 a pound I can buy about 12 meals worth. Just imagine the joy of eating filet mignon every single night for almost 2 weeks. It would probably kill me, but I'd die a fat and happy person.

9. Pez - I don't know about you, but I'm addicted to Pez. It's like candy crack. At about $1.50 a dispenser, I could buy 133 of them. I could even store my teeth in them after the sugar rots them out.

8. White Mice - White mice cost $1.69 at my local pet store. That's about 120 mice (assuming I don't get a bulk discount) for $200. Do you know what I could do with that many mice?

7. Lap Dances - The average lap dance will run me about $20. Go on 2 for 1 night and I can really stretch that green. It's about the closest I'm gonna get to a girl anyway.

6. Beer - Your average domestic beer runs about $15 a case. I could pick up 13 cases of beer for just under $200. That's over 300 beers, or a week's supply for Radagast-which is who you should mail the beer to.

5. One Expensive Pillow - You are probably laughing at this one, but I guarantee that after I lay my head down on a 700-count Egyptian down pillow, I will never want to get up. At $190 it's a steal.

4. Shotgun- If I look hard enough I can pick up a good shotgun for about $200. I'm thinking a Mossberg pump action 12 gauge. I could play Quake in my backyard. Just think of all the things I could shoot with it! Here's a few for starters: basketball, tree, my silly korean neighbors, hanging flower baskets, satellite dish.

3. Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones - Movie tickets vary, but in my town they're about 7 bucks. What better way to prove how big of a fan I am than by seeing Episode II 28 times in the theater?

2. Princess Leia Action Figure - I can pick up a Slave Leia action figure for about $7, or if I'm a real man, 28 for $200. It's the best way to prove to Carrie Fisher that I REALLY DO LOVE HER!!!

1. Underwear - I smell. A 3-pack of Fruit of the Looms runs about $8 at Target. That's 75 pairs of underwear. Golly Gee, this must be heaven!”

“#7”

“I have nothing of value to add here.”

“How about buying a nice, new tent?”

“$200 will get you an hour with a good shrink.”

“one word "poon"”

“Interesting I just got the same amount in a gift certificate from Cabelas.

Any of you folks tried 'down' longjohns ? Do you like them? Cabelas has them and I've seen them in action and they look kinda nice.

Gtex gaiters are they worth it?”

“bacpac, i'm afraid it's FAR too late for that. I'm thinkin just but a warshin machin fer yer dirty undies.”

“You definately should find the proper blend of 6 and 7. Is there really any other viable choice?”

“down longjohns? Don't they just fall apart?


Or do you glue them on or something?”

“#7”

“Go with the Down Longjohns MOT. LMAO!”

“I agree with bacpac.”

“Did I just say that?”

“Gotta go with chili. Equal amounts of #'s 6 & 7.”

“Why don't you get lesser amounts of #7, #6 and #4, a lap dance, cheap beer and a shotgun? You could call it "Saturday Night in Montana".”

“Proper application of #4 will get you anything else on the list. Just don't be surprised if it also gets you #11, a considerable amount of time in the joint.”

“Aero, don't you mean East Laurel, MT?

LMFAO

Why don't you buy an airline ticket and come on the Montanapalooza? Then you will understand the above statement. Right now, only three people will!”

“Listen to Bacpac, Cap'n; get help.

Don't buy down underwear, Minister (this from experience). They tend to be too warm and worthless for layering because you have to get almost naked to remove them or put them on - and you only wear them when it's really cold.

Polar fleece (not Windstopper) under G-Tex is the way to go IMHO.

G-Tex gaiters are definitely worth it. Go with the Outdoor Research Crocs, they are the easiest to put on. Be aware, however, the their breathability will be greatly reduced if worn over G-Tex pants, two laminates is one too many for breathability. I am considered a little (little?) excentric, but I, like my Yorkshireman hiking buddy find breeks and over the knee woolen socks to be the most comforatble hiking/climbing attire with G-Tex gaiters (he calls them spats).

Happy trails.”

“Give yourself a gift that keeps on giving and gets better with time.

The first $3000 of extra cash every year should go into your IRA. Any amount after that spread around to various toys.”

“#6!
#6!
#6!”

“$200 worth of books for the Clinton Library.Make that magazines.”

“Do those magazines have centerfolds?”
