What would you do with $3269? (Secret Alaska Thread)
So I am from the great nation of Alaska which is mostly famous for our prized penguin/polar bear ring fights and mooseback riding. One of the many amenities that we enjoy, like electricity and water, is free money. Yes, free money given to us from evil oil companies to distract us while they rape a bunch of boring ice. Every year we get these magical free checks full of free money to use wisely. Like buy bigscreen TVs from Wal-Mart.
This year, we get the biggest check ever! $3269! This is mostly due to our awesome Governor who everyone is just now finding out about giving us $1200 in "energy rebates" which everyone up here will promptly use to buy videogames and hi-def equipment. So now I have all this money and I gotta figure out ways to spend it! Thus I turn to you, SE++, because I know you would come up with wise, frugal ideas on sane, sensible items. Some things I am thinking about buying:
A handgun (because it's Alaska)
A new hunting rifle
A snowkite
A new longboard
A police scanner
The Force Unleashed
Books!
Rock Band 2
What else can I use my money on to further humanity?
Also, let's just talk about the coolest state ever.

See this is funny because I said cool which can mean neat or hip but it can also mean cold and Alaska is a very cold place so the sentence can have multiple meanings which are all funny.
man about halfway through winter you can have all the snow you want. Once I snowboard for like three months, I am tired of winter and want spring to come

The best part about alaska is when you go there on a cruise ship and then buy a bottle johnny walker blue duty free on the way home.
Call out a hit on your governor? Maybe hire a private detective to dig up scandalous dirt that will sink her campaign? Pay for an abortion for her daughter and then run a bunch of attack ads labelling her a baby killer?
Me too. I miss my free moneys so much. Also no sales tax. And moose. And mountains.
I make fun of texas hunters all the time. have you ever seen a whitetail deer? it's like the size of a dog, and they're practically domesticated.
Bod B, getting a divorce is actually pretty OK and i'm not sure where I'll be moving to, I've got a lease until december and haven't started looking for a house yet.

No sales tax? Is Alaska poor as hell?
Dude we have fucking oil money.
Government don't need no money from us.
It is rather awesome up here. The only downsides are
1. Ugly People
2. Non-Social People
3. The Women are fucking crazy as hell I tell you what they are goddamn batshit insane

It's a pretty cool place.
I will probably go back but first I need new tires on my truck or I will probably slide off the edge and into the bering sea.
Like, a landboard
But yea, we also surf and kiteboard up here. Ripcurl makes awesome really warm wetsuits that we can use.
Ooohh, I actually need to get a new one of those.
I like the way you think. :^: :^: :^: :^: :^: :^:
It's like mid-60s and sprinkling right now. So it's perfect!

A nice gray would be cool, I've got a navy and solid black right now. I'd love a DC&G suit.
