I spent $1,276,441 on socks.

I spent $785,500 on Turtle Wax (but in fairness, my turtle has never looked better).

I spent $10,490,745 on a computerised program to track my spending to the penny.

I spent $80 on thread.

I spent $225,000 on eight screwdrivers.

I spent $60 on a PC copy of "Battlefield 2".

I spend $25 on a pre-order for the BF 2 "European Expansion Pack"

I spent $6,000 on cat food.

I spent $45 on a mint copy of Psychic TV's "Dreams Less Sweet" LP with bonus 12" single and limited edition poster.

I spent $9,000,000 on golf balls. I slice.

I spent $2,600 on extension cords.

I spent $130 on beer.

I spent $900 on a hat reputedly worn by MacKenzie King.

I spent $50,000 paying Prince Charles to kiss a frog. He didn't seem to mind.

I spent $55,000 on the bobtail nag. Somebody bet on the bay.

I spent $28,000 on having a star named after Mad King Ludwig.

I spent $60 to have Ray Davies play with himself in the privacy of his own home.

I spent $265,000 on a new Aston Martin Vanquish in "Sherwood Green". Hey, I needed a little extravagance.

I spent $500 for a piece of Charles Manson's art. He painted a carrot.

I spent $80 on a Casey & Finnegan collectors' plate.

I spent $26 dollars to bribe Courtney Love to stay home for two weeks. I can't believe she did it for so little!

I spent $61 on a pretty convincing false novelty beard.

I spent $300 for the "Lego Studios Dinosaur Movie Set"

I spent $9,000 on that stamp with the upside-down airplane, and used it to send a cheque to the gas company.

I forget what I did with the rest. I probably frittered it away on useless stupid crap.

1. Well, I think you made better use of it than Halliburton could've.
I approve of your spending, but I do wish you had bought massive amounts of stock in Galoob, and halted production of this gem:

2. Sadly, Galoob is privately-held.
