It's Either This Or A Ski-Doo

Wondering what to do with that IRS rebate check coming your way?  It's already burning a hole in your pocket, isn't it?  Well, I've got a suggestion. 

Buy an arcade game!

Target Toss Pro: Bags eats up enough of your money at the bar during the winter.  You might as well call up your buddies you're always competing with and have them chip in.  With $600 per rebate check...let's see...carry the 4...ok!  You'll only need to get 8 other friends to throw their whole check into this thing for a total of $5,295! 

Although, come to think of it, that wouldn't really help stimulate the economy.  You'd buy the game (economy +1), then you'd stay in instead of driving to the bar (economy -1), and the bar makes no money without patrons (economy -1) or people depressed about not having much money (economy -1).  Multiply that by the 9 of you guys and there's a huge problem for Uncle Sam! 

You know what, strike that whole idea about buying Bags.  Go out, spend that check on new cornhole boards!  This way, you actually get some exercise playing a real game.  Don't worry - you'll still have plenty left over to blow on non-essentials like milk (and Bags).  Just remember that video games laugh at quarters these days the same way the oil market laughs at your dollar.
