So I came across some money...

I'll begin with a little backstory. I recently turned 20. Also recently, it seems the government was looking over Social Security and decided that they under-calculated the amount my parents were supposed to receive until I was 18 and sent me a check for the difference:

$1,620 (thanks Obama!)

Now, I like to think my parents raised me decently and because of that I'm not a (total) idiot and did the responsible thing: put 1,500 in the bank and kept 120 to spend at my leisure. But, like anyone who's suddenly come across money, the question came to mind:

What if I wasn't a responsible individual?

So in my free time I've been thinking of the most hilarious, convoluted way to spend $1,620 and still get some benefit from doing so. At present, this is my (self-proclaimed) genius plan:

STEP 1: Withdraw all $1,620 (for added hilarity, get as many 1s as possible.)

STEP 2: Go to Hastings while one of the cute girls is working there, making sure the bulge in my pocket (rolls of money and otherwise) is noticeable.

STEP 3: Grab $1,620 worth of porn.

STEP 4: As the cashier girl is ringing it up, explain to her that I am a philanthropist who is hosting a film festival out of my home next week, the goal of which is to discuss the artistic credibility of pornography in the film medium.

STEP 5: Invite her to come and see it.

If she says no, cancel the purchase and just walk out the door. END RESULT: $1,620 in pocket.

If she says yes, and is clearly interested in it, put on a "party" the following week (invite no one, claim that no one read the non-existent fliers) and watch porn alone with the Hastings girl, putting on the moves. END RESULT: $1,620 worth of porn and potential sex partner.

If she ways yes, but seems reluctant or skeptical, move to STEP 6.

STEP 6: Invite friends (and possibly strangers) to the party the following week.

If she seems uncomfortable while watching the first film, spend the rest of the night discussing the misogynistic nature of the porn industry as a whole. END RESULT: $1,620 worth of porn, and give my friends the impression that I'm rich (I'd say give them the impression I'm perverted as well, but they already knew that.)

If she seems comfortable after watching the first film, make up bullshit about the artistic value of the film and porn in general (and my college years have made a premier bullshiter.) END RESULT: $1,620 worth of porn and potential sex partner.

NO WAY THIS CAN FAIL.

For the discussion value: what is the most hilarious, convoluted way you can think of to spend $1,620? Whoever comes up with the best way wins 1 internet and a cookie.

It's obvious what you should do with that kind of money: Find the first Tippy2K2 forum user and forward him all of the money...

Realistically, I really really really want to get Lasik treatment. I'm thinking that money would get that ball rolling. There's really nothing wacky that I'd want to spend it on because I can't turn my "responsible adult" switch off...maybe $100 at the bar will take care of that, then I'll still have $1520 to spend!

Buy 1620 lottery tickets? Only logical conclusion.
The only way I could see that working is if instead I bought scratch-off tickets from the machine and scratch them out, one at a time, leaving my collection of losing tickets in a pile next to the machine as I spend the whole day next to the front desk of the Town & Country.

exchange for pennies and sell it as scrap copper.
I myself would put it in my thinkpad or computer build jar.
get a 1000$ bill and charge money for people to see it.

Isn't it obvious? Do a Charlie Sheen!

Get as many hookers and as much cocaine as $1620 will buy (I'm not familiar with either area, so no comment) and throw the craziest drug infused sex party of your life!

Sit back and enjoy a song. But in all reality split it up and just save some in case you need some later.

Buy large outdoor inflatable pool.

Spend rest on Newcastle Brown Ale.

Fill pool up with Ale.

Dive in and drink until I drown a happy man.

Buy 40 Raspberry Pis by using multiple accounts & friends addresses, then post a picture on their forum. The ensuing mayhem & bitching will be well worth your money.

1600$ worth of porn? This has to be the worst idea ever!
Clearly, the best solution is to use it as first payment for your own <url=http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=36173&sku=255>life-sized Cylon Centurion.

Captcha: underpants ... you've got a bad fetish, captcha, and I'd prefer it if you left me alone with it

Buy the Resident Evil 6 super duper collector's edition! [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/116736-Capcom-Unveils-1300-Resident-Evil-6-Special-Edition]

If you like it use the money left to get professional photos taken with you in that snazzy jacket

And if you don't like it buy the finest stool and rope with the remaining $300 =D

No way this can fail, amirite!

You ARE irresponsible. Get that money out of the bank and put it into an investment vehicle (stocks/businesses ANYTHING, just not the bank). Money rots in the bank. At least down here that's the case. Your deposit earns 1% Annual interest. So if you deposited $100 at the start of the year, that money will have gained $1 by year's end. Then that $1 is taxed. All the while the inflation goes up 6%. If you just put it in the bank, you JUST. CAN'T. WIN.

As for me though, I'd buy Gundam Plastic models. LOTS of Gundam Plastic models. Maybe even get a Perfect-Grade Astray Red Frame.

Sadly, the money may not be enough for a whole room. Maybe you can try a closet.
