I assume it's within the rules of the subscription scheme that I can have my shirt sent to someone else - if not, I'm sure the staff will let me know PDQ. Otherwise, here's the skinny -
 
As soon as this contest is over, I'll be signing up for a premium account, which will include one of the cool new Whiskey Media t-shirts. However, I'm not really into t-shirts with stuff written on them, and I know that there are some folks out there who would love to own one of these bad boys. So here's what I want from you:
 
Draw me a picture in MSPaint (or your platform's equivalent 1995-era drawing program) depicting how the Tested crew will spend their newfound fortune. 
 
Contest ends tomorrow (Friday) at 4:00CST. Get paintin'!
 
E: Thanks for the Twitter bump, Will.
 
My account is currently undergoing some technical issues that will prevent me from upgrading. Therefore, the deadline for this contest is extended until the problems are sorted out. I'll give a 12-hour notice once things are in order.
 
E2: My account is fixed! Contest ends tomorrow morning at 10AM CST. Get those entries in!
 
E3:
 
 Well folks, thanks for all your great submissions. It's now time to announce our winner. If I may have a drumroll, please! Your contest winner is...

 

TheCappuccinoBandit!

 
Great job! Of all the entries, I thought yours most exhibited the spirit of spendthriftiness that Will and Norm will most likely be succumbing to in the very near future. Thanks for playing everyone, and we'll see you around...
 
Wait, what's that?
 
There's more?
 
That's right, boys and girls. The Tested crew liked your entries so much that they decided to make their own surprise contribution to the prize pool. Thanks to their overwhelming generosity, we have 12 additional shirts to give out! These shirts aren't the usual subscriber shirts, either. These are Official Whiskey Media Party Staff shirts, as seen on the Big Live Live Show: Live! So, without further ado, here are the additional competition categories and their victors:
 
 The OMG FRIST POST!!!111 Award - Forte
The Most Horrifying Prediciton Award - Fripple
The Most Likely to Have Been Drawn by a Child Award - eagles_band
The 1,000 Hours in Paint Award - Rallier
The Most Likely to Not Have Actually Been Made in Paint Award - Natalia_
The Most Colorful Award - pipedreams
The Least Effort Award - slowbird
The Most Surprising Appearance of Another Whiskey Media Employee Award - zack
The Ana's Choice Award - spacepenguin (with a note from Ana:  It's awesome because it has the Eye Patch Guy, a microwave on fire, and Norm dancing on beacon.  I'm not sure what we did with the money though.)
The Least Productive Prediction Award - okand
The Most Likely to have Been Drawn on a Trackpad Award - buwchbach
The Most Actual Talent Award - RJP
 
Congratulations, everyone! Now, to claim your prizes. All I need from you is a PM with your address and your shirt size. Unfortunately, given the limited number of Party Staff shirts, we may not be able to get you the right size, but I'll do my best to get you the one closest to what you'd normally wear Once I've got everybody's information, I'll pass it on to Will and he'll get them sent out to you. I'm just collecting addresses to help Will out, so if you don't feel comfortable sending yours to me you can send it directly to him, but I do need a PM from you telling me that you've done so in order to cross your name off my list.
 
Thanks a ton for your participation, guys. Tested is the greatest community on the web, and it was especially great to see all the new faces - hopefully you'll stick around! I look forward to doing something like this again in the future, so stay tuned!

That is exactly the first thing that came to my mind.  Tested crew with churros.

just so you all know, lane thinks my avatar looks like me with a giant moustache, instead of me with a giant mouth.  HE IS NOT IMPLYING I ACTUALLY HAVE A MOUSTACHE (which i do)

Bump for the evening crowd. 24 hours left!

Will and Norm decide to slide a certain Gary Whitta a small percentage of their earnings (10%, or 6.2 million usd), which Gary then uses to torch the microsoft headquarters with a tank... A flamethrower tank. Luckily, the Tested staff shows up to float uncannily in midair and tout their impressive facial hair. 

Note that I do not know what colour Gary's hair is, and doing research would invalidate the minimal effort that should be used in making these. The things on the ground are money, kind of. Gary is flying a British flag, if you can't tell, and while I don't know if he is actually from the country, he has the accent, which is good enough for me. 
 
Ana's mustache is named Roger. Roger is left handed.

For the shits and gigs, I don't want a whiskey t-shirt.
Ana will continue being amazing at dance central. Norm will lick various iPod nanos and void their warranties. Will will go around and photobomb every camera he can see.

@Fripplebubby: This has to be the current leader both in design and description detailing all the steps taken to minimise effort.
