Poof! You're a billionaire. What's the craziest thing you do?

[Bossy Monkey]

As everyone knows (well, the one guy who read my last two threads does anyway), I badly want to hire James Lipton to declaim great disco hits of yesteryear. But I suspect that may come in second to my other crazy musical inspiration: organizing a kazoo choir to perform the saxophone solo from "Baker Street." And you?

[av8rdave]

1. Buy myself some politicians and judges and get some stuff done!

[Heidi]

2. A beer, Coke and or coffee (and a smoke if you're a smoker) on our patio

above Lago Maggiore for/with our DU friends. Music provided by enigmatic and Mr. S. Heck, since we're dreamin' here, we could all watch "Dr. Strangelove" projected on the side of the vacation home next door to us. :D

[Richardo]

5. This sounds like a swingin' time

:hi: Heidi!

Happy Val's Day to you and the Mr. :pals:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. Have a dozen white doves released every time I enter a room.

[Richardo]

4. !!

:rofl:

THAT is imagination, my friend.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

7. Actually, I heard somebody say it once, but I can't remember who it was.

Maybe a stand-up comedian, but it's worth saying again. :rofl:

[MiddleFingerMom]

21. Be careful what you wish for.

.

.

[Forkboy]

28. You're slacking. For me they kill them and let me walk upon their soft, dead bodies.

This is right before my feast of baby seal hearts and spotted owl brains. With the right amount of gravy...dude.

[quakerboy]

6. Ive always wanted to se a chromed House

I tells ya its brilliant. No need for xmas decorations, you just reflect everyone elses. Real annual time saver there.

[Bossy Monkey]

13. Google might build you one as a publicity stunt

:P

[quakerboy]

29. That bears thinking about

would be very nice

[demtenjeep]

8. Buy an island in the sun somewhere

and live the rest of my life in a quiet warm atmosphere

[tigereye]

9. start a cool music club for alternative types of music

and hire or buy! a large ship to take all my friends and favorite bands on a voyage around the world! (with charity events and good will on the way)


I'd probably have to pay off everyone's employer, though, so they could go on the voyage!

[LostInAnomie]

10. Not spring for the extra cash to turn a three way into a four way.

[Blue-Jay]

11. I'll have to think about that one...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. produce a series of films based on a book series that I have read.

total vanity project.

[havocmom]

14. buy a couple of small, safe apartment buildings in Missoula, MT

and set up a fund to have them WELL managed with pretty low rent, and discounts based on grades of U students. I would also make sure utilities were paid so students didn't have to choose between food and heat. The rent they paid would go into interest bearing accounts, to be returned to them as a surprise, upon graduation. I would collect the low rent, because it is an important lesson to learn for the students, but they would get some starter cash they weren't counting on as they leave the U and strike out in the world.

We should never forget the struggles, and be mindful of others struggling now.

Then I would make sure we were in a place where Havocdad could garden, fish, nap in sunshine to his heart's content.

I would also go to clown college.

[WinkyDink]

15. Seriously---I've coveted only one thing: A Jaguar X-KE. Maybe I'd re-start production!

[Blue-Jay]

18. Car-wise? I think I'd buy me a Tesla Roadster.

And maybe an old piece of shit Ford truck for whenever I need a truck.

[WinkyDink]

42. Holy-moly! That Tesla is awesome!! Never even heard of it before!

[Blue-Jay]

44. Electric, too!

0-60 in 3.7 seconds.

[XemaSab]

16. I'd buy about half of Detroit

and start a vast experiment in co-housing.

[jmowreader]

37. That was the plot of the Robocop movies, you know

Do you also plan to build a robot with the brain of a dead police officer in it?

[rcrush]

17. Bribe every single politician and high ranking official in town.

Then become king of the town.

[Hawkeye-X]

19. Ok.. here's mine.

First, I buy whatever health care insurance company out, rebrand and fix it to use it as a model for people who actually need insurance to get things rolling. Offer it as a form of single payer and once I have over 50 million subscribers, sell it to the U.S. Government for a modest price and tell them how EXACTLY do it, then use the money to contribute to progressive Democrats who'll support my model, and have them put it in the benefits plan for every American. Medical Marijuana is covered.

Then whatever money I have left, (should still be in the billions FWIW), hire actors to look like Secret Service and scare the fuck out of birfers, right-wing assholes, and the rest.

Also, declare a credit card amnesty for those who have under $30,000 in debt and give them a one-time gift to pay it off and forget it. This offer is one-time thing that will not repeat itself again. Put aside $300M for this task (this should cover over 100M American families)

I'm sure I can think of more, but there ya go.



Hawkeye-X

[Pool Hall Ace]

33. Please make this person a billionaire.

[rcrush]

20. Start my own secret society.

I dont want to have to join the Bohemian Grove or some other weird group where I have to dance naked with a bunch of other weirdos. My secret club will only have me as a member.

[jmowreader]

73. So start a liberal Bohemian Grove

Because I would love to come to your secret society and dance naked with you and the other liberals.

[proteus_lives]

22. Build the greatest comic book collection in the world.

One that would the envy of nerds and fanboy/girls the world over.

Buy stock in Marvel and invite Stan Lee over for lunch.

Become a patron for indie comic book companies/writers and artists.

Get an intricate tattoo leg-sleeve of my favorite comic book symbols, words and myths.


In case anyone is confused: I LOVE COMIC BOOKS!

[jrandom421]

23. Here's what I'd do

I'd go buy out that local business that hates me, and fire everyone who dissed, insulted and humiliated me over the years. If I can't do that, I'd buy their building and raise their rent 4,000%

[Sanity Claws]

24. Plan some trips

My first trip will be to Buenos Aires where I will take tango lessons and work on my Spanish language skills.

My second will be to southern Spain, possibly Seville, and take flamenco lessons.

I really want to dance.

[MiddleFingerMom]

25. About the time "The Big Chill" came out...

.
I spent a Christmas Eve with my sister and her husband and a BUNCH
of friends of theirs who had gotten their MBA's at Michigan State
and had been very successful and had gravitated to Manhattan 15
years later on their climbs up the ladder.
.
Fascinating, FUN weekend with some interesting perspectives and
joys and disappointments -- much of it paralleling the characters
explorations in the movie.
.
Two things I remember the most. The first was an ad agency VP,
who was probably pulling in 150K or so in the 90's, who had once
drummed for one of Chuck Berry's tours (he never met Chuck -- the
band would rehearse and Chuck would just show up for a gig). This
ex-drummer, very successful at this point in the ad biz, told me
that perhaps the biggest mistake he had EVER made in his life...
was selling his drum kit so that he could complete his MBA.
.
The other thing is more in keeping with this OP. One of the women,
when responding to "What would you do if you were FILTHY rich?",
said that she would buy extremely expensive, extremely plush
bath towels and only use them once.
.
After a few beats, she told us that her Puritan heritage would
probably be overwhelming and she might eventually cut them all
up and recycle them as dust-cloths.
.
:rofl:
.
I likeded her.
.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

26. Have my memory completely wiped clean

[name not needed]

34. Buy Chimp's ranch in Crawford, TX and burn it to the ground.

[PassingFair]

35. Buy out a theater and have bald men spell the word "shit" as seen from the balcony.

The Pranks of Horace de Vere Cole
Status: Prankster
The Daily Mail offers a short biography of Horace de Vere Cole (1881-1936), a man who made pranks his life work. His most famous prank was the Dreadnought Hoax of 1910. Here are a few of his others:

* He "once stood in the street handing out free theatre tickets to a series of extremely bald passers-by with the result that, when viewed from the dress circle, the assembly of shiny bald heads in the carefully chosen seats clearly spelt out an expletive - complete with a dot over the 'i'."
* He used to "wander the streets with a cow's udder poking through his flies. At the moment of optimum outrage, he would then produce a pair of scissors and snip off the offending protrusion."
* "More adolescent pranks ranged from organising a large party where all the guests were called Ramsbottom or Winterbottom to driving around London in a taxi with a naked tailor's dummy. Whenever he saw a policeman, he would stop the cab, open the door and beat the dummy's head on the ground, shouting: 'Ungrateful hussy!'"

Odd fact: he was Neville Chamberlain's brother-in-law.

[gmoney]

36. Vote Republican

And I'll try to arrange to die this year so my heirs pay no estate tax.

[Tripper11]

38. Vanish! Without a trace...gone gone gone

And then quietly begin dispersing money to family, charity and those that deserve it.
Stay disappeared. Live a quiet existence somewhere, annonymously.
Friends and family will be picked up and flown in. Perhaps blindfolded so as not to giveaway our secret location.
And when I say disappear, it will be with Mrs. Tripper and the Trippets. They make my day!

[AlienGirl]

62. Interesting. Why do you want to vanish? Do you attract a lot of unwanted attention? Got scandals?

[Tripper11]

78. Well, life is kind of kicking our asses right now

And we(wife and I) just want to live quietly, mind our own business. Just not feeling the love of life right now. We will live through it and be fine, but I always dream of being able to quietly do good things from the sidelines.
I don't need any recongnition, or awards. Don't need accolades or medals. Just want to help if I can.

[Monk06]

39. Go to India and rescue some Dalit families off the street.

I would also donate several dozen million to various charities.

45. Pay income tax. n/t

then promptly give Hanley Ramirez and Josh Johnson 5 year 80 million dollar deals, sign a high quality OF and power hitting first baseman, and 3 adequate starting pitchers. Up the yearly salary to 100+ million.

[AsahinaKimi]

47. I would bring over from Japan, the Best Anime and Movies..

Hire top notch translators to do subbing, and open a chain of DVD stores that sell the best in Japanese Anime, movies and Drama. We might even have Manga too.

AND start up NEWTYPE USA magazine, all over again!

[jmowreader]

48. I would go to Walcott, IA, and go fucking nuts.

There's one exit in Walcott, IA, that's of special interest. If you turn south you get to a Pilot Travel Center. If you turn north you get to the Iowa 80 TA Truckstop. The second truckstop has a parking lot with 800 spaces in it (yes, 800 spaces for tractor-trailers) and is known as the world's biggest truckstop.

I'll need the support of the Iowa State Police for this, and I'm sure I'll get it even if I gotta donate some new cop cars and a skid of donuts.

I am going to go there and do several things over the course of a week: pay for every driver's meals; pay the fuel bill for every owner-operator and for every company driver who runs for a company with 12 or fewer trucks (which means if you show up with a truck that belongs to Swift, who has about 15,000 tractors, your company still gets to buy your fuel--this is for the little guys), and once a truck gets comped fuel the driver has to take it to a special area on the parking lot where the Iowa State Police are doing full-blown DOT inspections. If you present a tire with less than 8/32" of tread on it--that's very legal but it's less than I want them to leave with--you have a brake with less than 10,000 miles of life remaining, or you need any repairs to be legal and safe you take the truck to the shop and I pay for whatever you need. (Oh, and you need an oil change too. Make sure they give you one. Come to think of it, any O/O will get a card for a free oil change even if he doesn't need any repairs, which ain't likely. I will try to make the card valid at any TA so guys can get it done at their convenience.) And you don't get charged with a violation because I know no one would intentionally run an illegal truck unless he couldn't afford to fix it. The cops would also check your medical card--which happens at every DOT inspection anyway. If you're within six months of needing a new physical, just go to that tent right over there where doctors can fix you right up, also free. If you're an independent who needs a random drug test to make the DOT happy, there's a portapotty and plenty of cups. Needless to say the TA people will get a month's notice so they have enough food, oil, filters, tires and brake parts, plus people to install them, on hand to meet the demand. I'll just deposit $100 million on account and tell the manager, "let me know if you need that filled back up." He'll probably need it refilled two or three times. (On edit: I'll also comp fuel and food at Pilot, because I know if they go without sales for a whole week they'll probably go broke. Pilot's parking lot isn't big enough to do the inspections, but if they've got a truck shop it wouldn't be a huge problem to divert some trucks to it.)

Now for the grand prize: the Tru-Cow Award. The Iowa State Police officers on duty will record the name, address and cell phone number of every owner-operator's truck they inspect. The driver who brings in the truck that's the worst piece of shit, in the eyes of the cops who inspected them all will get a phone call notifying him to return to Walcott--where his crappy old truck will be purchased for whatever the balance on his truck loan is, and he will be given a much better truck.

Professional drivers live on the ragged edge of starvation and "driver's appreciation week" basically amounts to "gee thanks, here's a 25-percent discount on a cheeseburger." I want to do something to show real appreciation.

[datasuspect]

51. if you do that

i will cover the beer and barbecue

[jmowreader]

66. Make sure to print up "beer tickets" and check logbooks first

Most drivers are professional enough to only drink beer at the beginning of their 10-hour breaks or during 34-hour ones, but you can never tell...

I think if I won over $100m in the Powerball I would do the same thing just at a smaller truck stop and only for a couple days--the Pilot in Haubstadt, IN, or the TA in Tallulah, LA would be good. In that case I would dispense with the DOT guys and just send the mechanics out to check the tires on the owner-operators' rigs.

Another fun thing for a billionaire, I think, would be to drive cross-country on either I-40, I-70 or I-90. Do maybe 300 miles a day, so you get plenty of time to do this: Eat four meals a day. (I was going to say seven like a hobbit, but that's just too much.) Every place you eat, pay for everyone's meal for a three-hour time period--if you eat breakfast at 0600, anyone who came in between 0600 and 0900 gets to eat free. Of course you'd have to make a lot of arrangements: the restaurant would need money in advance to pay for the food and additional help, the cops would need to be set up to control traffic flow around the restaurant (plus you'd have to make sure to give the police department a $15 gift card for each officer and the fire department a card for each firefighter so they could eat at their convenience rather than trying to get over there while the free food's being passed out and leaving the city cop-less, or the parking lot crammed with fire engines, during that period), the social services agencies would need money to rent buses to pick up all the poor people in town...dinnertime would be the easiest thing because no one's in a super rush, breakfast you'd have to set up a field feeding point and just hand out bags of food to everyone who came by. You could do lunch at a burger joint and dinner at an Applebee's-style place, but you'd have to be careful at the fast food joint to have a woman standing by each register who's watching for people ordering the cheap stuff..."you ordered one kiddie burger and you work at a steel plant? No. You need more food than that. Get something you want. Today it don't cost nuthin'."

64. I'd buy an island in the Bahamas.

Put in a nice house and a state of the art recording studio with a small airstrip.

Then I'd pick cherry pick the perfect musicians for each tune I would write, pay them a nice wad of dough to fly out and jam and record.

I'd release the music on a non-profit label and kick any revenue from sales to various charities, using the Newman's Own business model.

[Roon]

65. Sit on craigslist in the "wanted" section

76. I could be an even bigger bastard..

By having people spread rumors that I was going to bring the Northstars back to Minnesota and take the Wild to Wisconsin beforehad. :evilgrin:

I think in that case, the State of Mineesota would bring back the death penalty just for me.

[geardaddy]

86. But if you took the Wild

How would Norm Coleman be able to claim to have done anything?

:rofl:

[lazarus]

74. I would not go crazy

Buy a modest house that's just nice enough and big enough to handle future expansion of my book collection. Set up annuities such that I'll have a very comfortable retirement.

Then start helping people. Try to undo the damage that Gates is doing around the world with his foundation.

Oh, and start a radio station that plays good music in an eclectic mix.

[Bossy Monkey]

I can do it now, I am just so unmotivated and distracted lately.

[bridgit]

81. Book a Vineyard Suite @ Carneros Inn for like a month and start making major plans

[Bossy Monkey]

85. Only if he declaims "Funky Town" afterwards

:P

[krispos42]

83. I'd buy and re-animate the corpse of Air America

Get all the old stars back under the umbrella... Randi, Thom, Mike. Probably can't get Rachel back... she's a bit busy, as is that Franken guy. Maybe Jon Elliot instead. And I'd get Sam Sedar his own daily show, maybe bring back "Morning Sedition" with Marc Maron. Maybe scoop up a couple of more... landing Steph would be nice!

They I'd start buying some of those Christian radio stations in cities that have a plethora of them already and flip them. Form an Air America Radio Network instead of Air America the Media Provider. Then blast them LIVE and synchronized from coast to coast in the reddist states in the nation.

If Murdoch can lose a half-billion dollars for five years on Faux News I'll spend maybe $100 million to buy up a hundred large and small stations nationwide. Looks like a 1,000-watt station gows for about a quarter-mil, and a 50,000 watt goes for about 1.5 million. So I could buy dozens of them and still have a fistful of cash on hand to advertise and promote and make payroll and stuff.



And I'd put a full-service Planned Parenthood clinic on the radio tower grounds, too. Just to watch the fundies flip out. And I'd put big-ass loudspeakers on the clinic perimeter blasting out the AARN programming to give the protesters something to think out while they wave their signs and chant their slogans. I'd love to see them protesting day in and day out while Steph, Thom, and Randi ring in their ears. :evilgrin:


Somebody up-thread mentioned paying off people's credit-card bills. Sounds like a great idea for promotion purposes! I'd have people mail in copies of their credit card bills and I'd randomly pay off one an hour (at the bottom of the hour) every hour of the day on the air. That would be almost 9,000 people a year!

[krispos42]

84. Oh, and I'd restore a B-29.

There are a few left, about a dozen or so, but none in flying condition. I'd use it for Air America promotions... think how big the banner I could tow would be!

And how overshadowed the guy with the Cessna towing the "EAT AT JOE'S CRAB SHACK" banner would feel... :rofl:


I'd spend the warm months flying it around the country, visiting airshows, offering rides, and doing AARN promotional stuff.

Maybe even go worldwide. Just not to Japan... that would probably be in really bad taste.

[Blue_Tires]

87. buy a seat in the U.S. Senate and become its autocratic ruler

that plan is still in the works, by the way...it's just taking me longer to get that first billion than i thought...

[Gormy Cuss]

88. I'd buy out Skinner, EarlG and Elad and make this my sandbox, dammit.

}( and I'd have plenty leftover for other nefarious schemes.

[Lucy Goosey]

89. Hire someone to clean out my cat's litter box.

It's the only chore I really hate - I would pay really well and provide healthcare.

[Deep13]

90. Provide health care for every person in Ohio. nt

[TZ]

95. How about including

Ohio natives who happen to live elsewhere now ( Hey, we've had Cleveland's weather this winter, that qualifies right?) :hi:

[Deep13]

96. As long as I'm making shit up, sure, why not?

You've had Fargo's winter weather. We never get five feet of snow here!

[DFW]

91. How's this for crazy?

I'd offer Frank Luntz a tenth of it to use his skills to get us 62 Senators and 280 Democrats in the House.

Payable only upon delivery and after 3 years of maintaining those numbers in Congress, plus access to all his
email and phone calls to make sure he isn't playing both sides of the fence.

There's nothing Republicans worship more than money. He'd do it.

[dgibby]

92. Rehab my hometown,

provide adequate housing for everyone, establish an educational center based loosely on the Berea College model, which would incorporate "mountain" crafts, skills,sort of a living history center/museum/artists colony. All the educational programs would be free.

I'd also start no kill shelters for dogs and cats, other animals, establish a wildlife sanctuary there.

In addition to all of that, I'd establish a state of the art school system from preschool-college, and I'd build the greatest sports center money could buy.

Oh, did I mention I'd buy the local hospital and provide the best medical care available?

I'd also start organic CSA's that would provide veggies/fruit/milk/cheese, and meat. This food would be available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay.

Once I got the town fixed up, I'd build a family compound for my immediate family, something where we could all "age in place", but that would incorporate privacy for all of us, as well. It would include a sauna, steam room, all weather pool, exercise/physical therapy room, and meditation gardens.

I'd also contribute to Habitat, Feeding America, Vets organizations, etc, or maybe I'd set up my own Charity.

After that, I'd declare myself "Queen of Everything", and bask in the adoration of my loyal and loving subjects!:evilgrin: :rofl:

[tabbycat31]

94. use it to further the progressive agenda

and start a rescue for cats

[Mopar151]

97. Buy Haiti. Re-develop Nawlins.

Start a cultural/commercial exchange program. Build Haiti out as a Carribean Creole resort, with gourmet ganja, roller coasters and water slides. Hire Al Gore to manage it. Base an economy on sustainable aquaculture, manufacture of small-scale solar energy products,hemp/"green" clothing.
Buy out Xe/Blackwater, re-purpose & re-train them to go after human (particularly child) trafficers worldwide.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

98. Set myself up in a hotel suite in a five-star hotel for life
