lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

WHO?! What kind of drooling slophound would want this anti-art gruel, this howling void of meaning, summoned out of the ashes of our once-living world?

If someone tells me they want this I am going to kick them in the nuts and no jury would ever convict me

If you're wondering whether or not to get a flu shot, I didn't get one in time, and I just had a fever dream where I was in the Drew Carey Show because several days ago I was on the Wikipedia page for the Drew Carey Show. You don't have to do this to yourself.
