21. I agree..."booze"
I can purchase a 1.75 liter bottle of Clan Macgregor scotch for about $18.



Food comes later...

22. Would you choose a particular section?
Or just be random? I see your suggested gesture as munificent and open to possibility.

4. As much magnetic sheet material that $18 will buy
so I can glue it to as many old floppies as will fit on the sheet. Then I'll cut them all out and slap them on my car to make people think I have left my important computer files on an antiquated media disk on top of my car :P

I have actually done that with both a 3.5" floppy and an old AOL CD. You would be amazed how many people let you know about what you have "done" too :D

23. You know, you're on to something here!
One individual-sized Amy's cheese pizza: about $5
One tin of anchovies: about $2
One can sliced jalapenos: about $4
One six-pack Sam Adams light: about $7
TOTAL: about $18!!!

Mmmmmmmmmm :9



Maybe I could lose the jalapenos and use that $4 to rent a movie!



Anchovy pizza, beer, and Annette O'Toole, all for only $18!!! :D

17. I have NOT tried this year's summer brew, and I was going to make the pilgrimage earlier...
...this year, and found that they only conduct the tours during the week. So, you not only get a beer tour, you have to play hooky to do it! :bounce:

28. Peanut M&M's
I will need to spend the entire $18 on this because I require a certain number of yellow ones to carry out my plan.
