    $100 gift certificate for my college's book store - suggestions?

    I just got a call telling me I won something from a raffle I forgot I even entered, and the prize is a $100 gift certificate to the book store. Now, I could be reasonable, and spend it on books next semester. Or I could be a dumbass, and blow it all in a blaze of stupidity. I'm leaning towards stupidity.

    $100 worth of car decals? Nah. Buy up all the scantrons so nobody can take their finals? I doubt that would even work, or be funny, so please just forget I even typed that.

    Any good ideas?

    Buy a lot of tape & construction paper and make the world's biggest paper airplane. Then try to ride it.

    Definately extra lube. I keep two bottles at all times. Can't leave home w/o your lubricant.

          Somebody else suggested that too, and I'm ashamed I didn't think of it on my own. I think it's really the only viable option.

            Unfortunately, this is not possible. Every college has a secret basement factory where they produce them at an ungodly rate.

            Either do the responsible thing and spend it on textbooks next semester (or should I say TEXTBOOK (singular ))

            Or do what Muzikman said and get some booze. I recommend Guinness

                    i'd go the ipod route too probably. Add some more $ and get a spankin new ipod video...you also get a student discount on ipods, think its like 10%

                        School book stores often sell books at or beyond MSRP. Sell it to someone and order your books off the Internet.

                        Or... do what I did and read the book while in the bookstore... and buy video games instead.

                              Find the cheapest thing they have and buy $100 worth. Then get drunk and try to think of what you can do with the stuff.
