What should I do with my $600 stimulus check I just got?
Should I be sensible and pay down some of my bills from my Mayo trip?
Or should I splurge on a Wii so I can get my new favorite addiction "Guitar Hero"?
Or should I do something else?:shrug:

3. Buy a partial season ticket plan for the Baltimore Orioles
So that you can see a winning major league baseball team.

7. Well, I think they were over .500 at this point in 2005.....
....but let's not talk about how that season ended, shall we?

Eleven years. Yes. But at least you can say they've had plenty of winning seasons in their 54 years of existance. And that they've actually had a winning season.

13. Hey--she asked a serious question, and your suggestion is preposterous
A measley $600 would scarcely make a dent in her bar tab.

28. much of the appeal of this game is the downloadable extra songs.
When I was researching this, the Wii didn't have downloadable capability, the memory was very limited and the output was in mono, not stereo or Dolby.
