if_i_had_a_million_dollars icy hmmmm... let's say someone won the lottery, a very big one, and all they had to do to claim it was spend one million dollars on themselves. not on anyone else, be totally selfish and spend one million dollars on yourself (plus all applicable taxes and shipping...) what would you do? how would you spend it? i thought of ways to spend a little over half of it (probly rounding up a little too much, so that may very well have been cheating a little...), but it was really pretty difficult. i haven't gotten to the million mark yet - i'm slightly stuck at about $517,000... (having been able to think of enough items to spend that much on...) 031110 ... Death of a Rose easy...an island off the coast of BC 031110 ... icy gosh, i was thinking of an h2, my 68 shelby cobra, a jaguar, and miscellaneous other material possessions that i've wanted. my list would be very long, and you've shot it through with one simple request. i bow to a master :) 031110 ... Death of a Rose gosh.....shucks.... please no knee bending... 031110 ... once again I would buy you a monkey. Haven't you always wanted a monkey? 031110 ... Death of Prose of course, but that's what I needed the island for....my private monkey... 031110 ... icy what is a private monkey like? i have never heard of one of those. i've heard of spider monkeys, but i very strongly dislike spiders, so i'm not too sure about that one. i must admit, i don't particularly like monkeys, but i don't feel towards them what i feel towards spiders... 031110 ... Deathofanose private monkeys are only ever sold to people who buy islands (you might retort with scientific experimenters, but that is the "fated to die horribly for the human race" monkeys). oh....haven't answered your question have I....hmmm.... private monkeys are mischievious scamps unless treated with respect and love (just don't leave them alone because they tend to need company on a constant basis) 031110 ... smurfus rex $300,000 - 10 acres at the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills (outside Denver) $600,000 - 6 bedroom, 2-story house, furnished and decorated $100,000 - 2 1972 Plymouth Hemi Cudas next question is...what would you do if you won Powerball? :) 031110 ... Piso Mojado bare_naked_ladies 031111 ... listening to sublime again i'd spend it all 031111 ... minnesota_chris I'd start a non-coercive charter school 031112 ... u24 Well, I know this isn't following the rules, but: (maybe) 5,000 on gothic.uk.com 250,000 in a savings account 5,000 on that fun little plan of mine.. [buy a shit load of weed, and a bunch of helium balloons, and let it all go floating on the air from a very high place, perhaps with little business cards attached with political / spiritual messages on them.. yeah.] 100,000 to the 'good cause' of my choice.. eg.. a school or orphanage somewhere.. definately NOT to a charity. 100,000 as gifts to various friends 10,000 given away to total strangers 50,000 on a shopping spree in various countries.. ? on a helicopter, ? on a Hummer(mk1) with all the trimmings and the rest I'd spend on converting an oil rig to an executive goth/industrial nightclub. (guest flown in/out by hourly Chinook. sweet.) (if I had enough left, that is, else.. I'd just travel the world in my Hummer, with Linds) :) 031112 ... tyger Pay credit card debt Buy a house Put my fiance back in school Give to charity Buy my future mother in law a house that's about it I guess 031118 ...

Mwa ha ha ha! ... 031121 ... Strideo oh . . . I just got the expense report back and it turns out that robotninjamonkeypirates are expensive. Really expensive. A million dollars would only buy me two and half robotninjamonkeypirates. Not enough for an army . . . ... 031121 ... Lemon_Soda I'd throw it all in a coupla banks, pack a bag and be gone. Who knows where I'd wander or who I would run into. I just wouldn't stay anywhere until I found my soul. Eat at resturants. Sleep on the train or in a cheap hotel room. Travel from place to place. Buy what I didn't mind carrying. Pay for everything with my check card. Just wander. 031121 ... celestias shadow They make prewrapped sausages, but they don't make prewrapped bacon! 031126 ... minnesota_chris ooh not just a monkey, but a WHOLE MONKEY ARMY! 031216 what's it to you? who go blather from
