"Our big purchase was an HDD camcorder to capture the development of our baby girl, Liliana. After much searching I finally found a coupon to save a little bit at Circuit City and pulled the trigger. The rest of the check? Probably little things like a trip to Costco, stuff for the baby,and maybe split the rest 50/50 with the wife."

Thanks for helping us keep in touch, Dubya!
"I spent my stimulus check on some sparkley jewelry, a new cellphone and a new webcam so I can talk to my soon-to-be husband, whom you're about to ship off to Iraq to maybe die for your goddamn oil wells. "

Hasta la vista, money!
"Half of my house is a shrine to the Terminator franchise, and I squandered, er, "spent" my check (with the wife's blessing) on the new centerpiece of my collection- a Terminator 2 arcade machine!"

Toshiba Laptop

Music, grub, babies, and beards
"First I bought an iPod Nano to listen to while I am in labor in about 5 weeks. Then I spent some of the money on a ridiculous cereal shopping spree. A bit more went to some last needed baby items. And finally, about half of it is in savings for our trip to Anchorage, Alaska next summer for the World Beard and Moustache Championships. Thanks to Bush I can listen, eat, labor, and fondle beards in comfort!"

HD Hell
"We purchased an HDTV and DVD player as ours were outdated. We planned the purchase for the rebate check as most everything else is payed down/off and it is something that can be appreciated by the whole family."

"I decided to go ahead and get one of those UMPC's I decided on the Samsung Q1 since I could get it for $700. Figuring if I didn't like it I could just ebay it and get most the money back and since I paid $100 for it after the stimulus. Thankfully I like it so I think I am going to keep it. "

God Bless George Bush

I bought pleos for my brother and I
"i bought a pleo because i missed my dog linus. and what better than a rubber, robotic, plastic leaf-eating dinosaur that periodically has narcolepsy to fill that need? that small boost to my personal happiness probably triggered many other spending sprees over the last few months, which surely has boosted our economy. i just wish i could ride it to work because the gas prices keep going up. oh well. maybe i should've bought a razor scooter?"

No More Cavities
