\*\* Aww shucks\*\*

Spent. Its all gone.

::shuffles feet::

And didnt even get the PS2. (here me Santa?)

Damn bills.  
At least I got the AMEX paid off. No more credit card for a _loooong_ time.  
Yeah, right. Who am I kidding.

But to more important matters. \*\*THIS IS NOT A REBATE??? WTF !!! \*\*  
I sure was misled. If I had known that, well, I would have purchased **farmerOAK** ’s TIMECUBEsup[/sup]. 😉 Oh well, I suppose the AMEX card needed to be paid off anyway. I sure thought that this was my money coming back because of the government ‘surplus’.  
Guess there really is no such thing as a free lunch. (Sorry guys - NO LOBSTER)

The **TimeCube** is not for purchasing! Is for understanding! You are educated stupid! Do you **like** being stupid? **Embrace** the principles of the TimeCube!

Uh-oh. Prolly shouldn’t have said that…
