2. Yes, EA. I bought mine

a little while ago. The deadline's at 6:00 pm. An hour and a half left. Hurry!

4. Why yes, of course

I always have a number. It costs $104 per year to play one number in every drawing, and over the past year I'm about ten bucks ahead. Which, if you are keeping track, is better performance than investing the same $104 in Enron.

And if you win, you can afford a $2000 bathroom sink. :evilgrin:

5. Idiot Tax

No thanks

6. Oh nice

jeez....I spend a couple bucks a week on it. Does't make me an idiot. I throw a couple bucks away on dumber things everyday. And for $2 it sure came in handy when I was down and out and flat broke one time and ended up winning $1650 one time. Sure helped a lot and made for a great summer.

7. List the dumber things

please

8. Sunflower seeds, food that's bad for me...

when I was a smoker, I wasted thousands for 20+ years of smoking. Buying that extra drink when I was already ripped...the point is, whether you gamble in a casino, or buy a couple dollars in lottery tickets doesn't make you an idiot.
Freedom of choice right?

9. Idiot Tax

A night out in a casino (riverboats around here) for entertainment, cool, a few scratchers for the kids, sure I`ll buy that. $20-$50 a week year after year, Silly. Never met a gambler who wasn`t "ahead for the year", or a Lotto purchaser who bought $2 dollars of mega-schmega-big-game tickets in front of me at the gas station.

10. So we're all idiots

and you don't spend money on something that I might think is idiotic?
I mean come on, Lincoln...there's all kinds of ways to spend money stupidly. What I might not think is stupid you do and vice versa. Doesn't make me or you an idiot.
