    My first thought was, since I've lost a gold brick, can I keep it?

    But now, I will use this for those nosy questioners "so how much did you lose"?

    Now I can say a gold brick! It would seem like a polite way to steer the conversation somewhere else (and probably equals the amount I spent on IP products as well)

    Great list.
