I just pulled up my checking account and saw that George Bush deposited $600 in my account. Now what to spend it on? Suggestions?

Considering it was based on the first set of refunds, that's not all that surprising.

I believe this means Big Mac is recommending 600 cups of coffee.

Done. I'll get started immediately. If after 100 cups you can move outside of time, I can only imagine what the effects will be after 300

Who knows, maybe you'll start moving backward in time. Then, the paradoxes begin.

I'm going to fill my hummer's gas tank up all the way.
I've always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will. I began when I was 15 or so and I have hunted those kinds of varmints since then. More than two times.
