My mom got all into that, and tried getting me into it... Also my boss's son, who is younger than me (18 or 19)... They'll let anybody do it. My boss's son tried telling me college was the best place to do Amway Global, because you can talk to people in your classes and whatnot. But see, here's the thing, I don't want to be constantly advertising to my fellow classmates who are broke ANYWAY!

I bought my friend Glenn Beck's book as a gag gift...I still regret giving that dumbass money. But it was good for the lawls when he opened it infront of his entire EXTREMELY liberal/democratic family :)

I don't remember how much it was, I know it was way more than I could afford though. I bought one of those kits where you make these stupid hair clips, maddeningly complicated, and you get paid a couple of lousy buck for every one that you make. But they were so incredibly complicated and hard to make, there was no point in even trying. I felt like an idiot for spending so much money on something that I hoped would make me money only to be out even more dough.

multi level marketing, it is pretty much a pyramid scheme.

I did that, wasn't a total loss though because I liked and used the product. Couldn't sell a bit of it though. We bought off into two or three of those, actually. I'm a slow learner.

A bottle of very high-end bourbon that I still haven't finished.

Do $60 bottles of absinthe count? That I mostly set fire to for a special shot at one of my theme parties.....


Ok so yeah it was my two French gangster ("racaille" for those that speak french) parties, and I figured if the hallmark of the French thug is to throw molotov cocktails at shit, why not make flaming shots with French absinthe?

Amway, and a $2000.00 "business consultant" back in the day. Never again...
