I don't know . . . but on at least 2 occasions several years ago I went into comic book stores and came out with more than $1,000 worth of Silver and Bronze Age comics.  One of these times, I believe the total was over $1,400.  A year or so ago I bought a pair of Bowflex Select-Tech 90 lb. dumbbells, a weight rack, and an adjustable bench for over $800.  I probably spend $1,000 a month on random stuff, but not all in a single purchase.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

Either on a house payment, or materials for a new fence, my new loft over the garage, and fixing the eave over the porch.  Anything left over would go towards a new fridge/icemaker.

     By "blow", laddie, I meant being free to spend it on fun, cool stuff.
Oops.  Well, this is stuff I really want done.. I already have a lot of cool stuff.
Well.. lessee..
A Galaga cocktail or a Crazy Climber cabaret, maybe.  Or both if I can get them cheap.

That would be awesome.  The only piece of furniture I don't have and really want it is a good cocktail cabinet arcade game.  Planning to buy a custom MAME one with 4 sets of controls (for vertical and horizontal games, and to play 4 player games) someday.  That might be what I get. 

Alternatively, I've been saving for a while as I plan to get a vasectomy and that's of course entirely out of pocket on my plan.  TMI?   TongueOut

I hope you'd wait a month though, it's a wet, sloppy mess with huge piles of snow everywhere right now.

I don't know, if I had a thousand I would probably do a trip maybe fishing down in Texas or something.  If not that, then probably some electronics of some sort.

I wouldn't blow it, since paper doesn't have penises (except those bastards who draws on them) nor am I gay. Twirling Nah, I would spend it on food and videogames.
