I want a peanut! Homer's brain: 20 dollars can buy many peanuts. Homer: Oh! OH! OH! Explain how! Homer's brain: Money can be exchanged for goods and services. Yes, I plan no buying a peanut farm...no wait, that's not it. Where was I going with that quote? I'm not sure. Anyway, we are looking to purchase a house, apartment, or some sort of livable domicile as well as go on a whirlwind tour of Western Europe in the next year or so. England, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland. Neither of us has "been", and I need to add onto my "countries visited list" since it keeps getting put to shame by my brother. Damn our nomadic ways and my petty sibling rivalry! Plus if we want to change plans and live somewhere else, or do something fun, we need some cash. (Possible weekend trip to North Korea when we both get some free time? How awesome would that be from a cultural standpoint?) Fun and financial security isn't cheap. Homer: Aw, 20 dollars?

Perhaps using the funds to construct some sort of Destro-esque weather machine? Let me know when you're going to send the basketball-sized hail so I can board up my windows.
