What did you spend your Stimulus on??
Filed under: $900 government payment, $900 stimulus package ftw, $950, Global financial crisis, Stimulus Season, what i spent my $900 stimulus package on
Seeing as everyone has their money… I thought it be great idea if people let me know/send me a picture of what they blew their money on. I bought a digital camera. I know I know, after all the talk of stimulus and mentos and flux capacitors…I buy a lame camera. Even thinking about it now make me sick to the stomach, or it could possibly be the endless supply of chocolate covered potato chips I bought with the remaining $653. So I give you what I purchased…a canon ixus 80 and the most ridiculous photos I could find of them. Also, real people from documentaries/newspapers have emailed me asking about interesting things people spent their money, so if you have one….or have made pho7o5h0p skillz, do the right thing.
- That’s me on the end. For Realz.
- Noir?
- Why I had to buy a new camera. Seriously it’s a brick, sometimes I forget, and try to put film in it.
Stimulus Suggestion: Swine Flu Perephenalia!
Filed under: $900 government payment, $900 stimulus package ftw, Shirtweek- the best blog in australia references!, Stimulus Package Suggestion
Everyone is thinking it, so why not do something about it! If you are afraid of the swine flu, maybe you could purchase some awesome novelty surgical masks! But if you aren’t afraid of it and really want to throw caution to the wind, you could buy an amazing Shirt Week T-shirt! Sure you will probably cop alot of backlash from heaps of people, but surely it’s worth it?
You- “Yeah you probably are write Guy who writes Blow My 900″
Me- “Yes, yes I am.”
Stimulus Suggestion: Go on a Somali Cruise

I have just been passed this amazing suggestion by my lame co-worker! He has found a site that are selling Somali cruises that “sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates”. I mean everyone is looking for a bit of adventure aren’t they?
They even, “guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts by pirates or we will refund half your money back, including gun rental charges and any unused ammo (mini gun charges not included)“. Anyways it made me chuckle on this fine Friday afternoon. I hope that if you haven’t got your money yet that it comes in the next day!!1!!
Stimulus Suggestion: Dead cats!
Filed under: 900 stimulus package, Economic Stimulus Package, Global financial crisis, Stimulus Package Suggestion, When will I get my $900 stimulus payment?
I am not fond of cats. Really. If you know me, then you will definately know this to be true. I like dogs…in fact Dogz Rule! I like the fact that they are happy to see you,are energetic and enjoy chasing after a tennis ball just as much as I do! Cat people are like…pfft, why would you want a pet to always be happy with you, cats have personality. And to that I say this…you want to enjoy having a pet, you don’t want them to bite you for no reason! Just imagine that I actually had a girlfriend, I wouldn’t want one that was angry all the time and bit me (without asking). Case and point! So today I recommend you buy the book 101 Uses for a Dead Cat. I have not read it, but I can only assume it is totally awesome!
And now the award for the most overused image in “funny” emails goes to….

Stimulus Suggestion- Chocolate covered potato chips!
Filed under: $900 government payment, $900 stimulus package ftw, Shirtweek- the best blog in australia references!, When will I get my $900 stimulus payment?
Ok, so I got an email today saying that Aldi was selling chocolate covered potato chips. To be honest, these are two of my favourite things. I mean if Zooey Deschanel made me a spearmint milkshake, that would probably be the best, but I will settle for chocolate chips! I cannot substantiate the claims that these exist, but if they did, I couldn’t think of anything better to spend me money on! Also, if anyone shops at Aldi, could you please confirm that these (what I have deemed) leprechauns of the junk food world actually exist! HOLD THE PRESS— The original emailer (Kathryn) went out and took a photo for me!!!!1! Amazing!
Stimulation suggestion: Start your own blog!
Filed under: $900 government payment, $900 stimulus package ftw, Economic Stimulus Package, Economic Stimulus Payment, Shirtweek- the best blog in australia references!
Today’s recommendation is to start your own blog! I mean, to be honest the world needs more awesomez blogs! So I have taken my own advice and started a new blogging sensation called Shirtweek- The best blog in Australia! Basically, atleast once a week I’ll do a blog post and then have my graphic artist buddy (N4NN4N4P) make a tshirt that best represents it! We don’t make any money from the shirts, and don’t ever intend to sell any, but we thought it would be fun!! So go and check it out!
Just to clear the air- Kevin Rudd is eating ear wax.
Filed under: $900 government payment, Global financial crisis, Stimulus Package News, Stimulus Season
Yes. It’s a sad indictment on Australia’s attention span when we forget WAXGATE from the 2007 election! It was one of the main reasons that I didn’t vote for him. I find eating your own earwax quite repulsive! Anyways, I just wanted to clear the air…here’s the famous Kevin Rudd ear wax eating video!
Stimulus Suggestion: $900 worth of hot chips
Filed under: $900 stimulus package ftw, Economic Stimulus Package, Global financial crisis, Stimulus Package Suggestion, Stimulus Season
So I had an email the other day from someone that said….’I've always wondered what $900 worth of hot chips would like, now I have that opportunity’. I couldn’t agree more. Back in the day $2 worth of chips used to be enough. Now you go to fish and chip shop and you have to order a “small chips” for $3.50. WTH? I miss the good old days. Anyways, THEN I came across the Hot Chip Vending Machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 This is an Australian company that sell a vending machine that spits out hot chips in under 2 minutes! Amazing!
Confirmation some students will get $1850
So I’ve have confirmation from a student friend of mine that just received $900 after previously receiving the $950 for students! So there you go, you heard it here first!
Stimulus Suggestion- Lucid Dreaming!
Filed under: $900 stimulus package ftw, Global financial crisis, Stimulus Package Suggestion, Stimulus Season
I’m sure many of you (like myself) come home after a long day at work and love to relax! I find that there is no better way to end AND start the day than with a great sleep. I enjoy sleep, I won’t lie to you. Some days when I wake I wish that I was a professional sleeper, or some kind of insomnia medication tester! Anyways, I thought…how can I enjoy sleep even more?! LUCID DREAMING OF COURSE!!! For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s when you are aware that you are dreaming and can actively participate and often manipulate the dream world and it’s surroundings!! Like last night I was on on a holiday with your mum in Las Vegas but that got kinda boring (you know how your mum can get!) so I turned into a jet-plane, bombed the Russians and then crashed into the sun. It’s awesome, so today I propose you buy a copy of Lucid Dreams in 30 days…it’s only $8.76 (US+P/H)! Deal! Maybe we can just lucid dream the whole way through the GFC!!
