If you had a million dollars...

[Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi]

What would you do with it? What about a billion? A thousand? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand?

[Mike_6002]

A Billion: Buy A Perry Class Frigate and become a sea pirate

Everything else: invest ti'll I have money to but frigate

[spongyblue]

I would walk into the Squadron headquarters with my big carboard check that says"Pay to the order of A1c Spongyblue One Billion Dollsrs and zero cents"under my arm, a pair of cutoff BDU shorts, beach bum sandels, a t-shirt that says"Bitchin"on it a big orange afro and sideburns down to my fuckin chin and say to the Commander"So long and thanks for all the fish", buy a cool ass car and start driving to who the fuck knows where. And buy a dog

[Mr Bean]

Anything under a Billion invest it make it grow to BE a billion

At a Billion invest it make it grow, and put up the fund

If I'm killed before my time the person who "eliminates" my killer gets 100 Million

Then store it overseas as I know the Swiss will abided by it

[punkgothhippie]

I would start a publishing company for amatuer authors. And buy a car, a lot of cars. A bunch of houses too, all over the place:-)

[Raptor 597]

If a billion, immeaditely invest half in the Stock Exchange, and 1/4 too too me secret microsoft takeover. And the other 1/4 goes too my 'The Offical Future World Dictators Fund' and I invest that too, in a year I have 40% Microsoft, and if Bill doesn't give 11% more percent points, I'll jump ship too linux & Mac causing a great Schism in which Bill concedes aganist superior computing. Then becoming World Leader thr sheer economics and takingover the US Goverment, on the path too world domination. If below I invest 5 years so I can make my above plan.

Edit: Oh, and I would buy my new Custom Super Computer in which I might overthrow the NSA.

[Next of Kin]

What would you do with it? What about a billion? A thousand? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand?

I would buy all those fancy dijon ketchups!

[aerius]

A billion should be enough to buy off the judicial system so I can go kill or severely maim some people and get away with it if I get caught.

[Wicked Pilot]

With a billion dollars...

I would give back to the community by building a modern well equiped K-12 private school in my hometown of Baton Rouge. This school would cater to underprivilaged children in the area. Admission would be totally free, and the quality of the education would be top notched. All students would be required to live on campus, where meals, supplies, mental/health care, and whatever else needed would be provided free of charge. All teachers would be required to have a master's in education, and proper credentials in the subjects they intend to teach, as well as a positive A type attitute toward their profession. Science, math, and computers will be the core cirriculum in the upper grades of this school. College prep is the name of the game here. Sports and the arts will also be well funded and encouraged, but will take a back seat to academics. Upon graduation, students will be given full scholarships to whatever college they are admitted too, wether it be local, or ivy leage.

That is what I'd to with the money. And if I have any left over, I'll buy a destroyer and go play pirate with Mike. Errrrr.

Nothing like pirating, good idea, the southern US need serious educational funding, instead of that Friagte i will upgrade to a slighlty used AEGIS Cruiser with lots of Tomhawk's and Harpoons

[TrailerParkJawa]

A billion dollars: Id either become a pirate like Mike or buy a huge tract of land for wilderness preservation. Mike and I could join forces and hire Sea Skimmer as a technical advisor. Wicked pilot can be my ships helicopter pilot, aviation boss. My primary mission would be to plunder the seas of women with B and C cups.


A million dollars:

1. Buy my current condo outright, give it to my mom. --- $225,000
2. Buy a new condo in very nice development in San Ramon. -- $380,000
3. Buy a new car, give my current car to my mom. -- $20,000
4. Give my dad a hundred thousand. -- $100,000
5. Give 50,000 to some agency that preservers wilderness -- $50,000
6. Put 100,000 in the bank. - $100,000
7. Divy the rest up between family and closest friends. -- $125,000

Ten Thousand Dollars:

This would give me another 5-6 months time to find a new job.

A thousand Dollars:

Id pay my bills for the month of December.

Good idea, I go hunt down the asspirates of the west indes, and plunder cruise ships, who'se going to stop me with a AEGIS cruiser in the West Indies who could nail US aircraft from 25 miles away, and with 10,000 or less help setup merchindasie for SD.Net/Fourms (need ideas for that) or go on a Vintage star wars action figure spree (lots of vintage stormtroopers...........can never have enough)

[Larz]

1 million: Invest some of it, the rest I'd probably use to get my car working and looking really nice, buy more hobby stuff, upgrade computer, and maybe upgrade living sturcture.

Below a Million: Invest it very wisely.

[neoolong]

I would start my personal quest to take over the world. Mu hahahahaha.

[Sea Skimmer]

With a billion one of two things

[1] Get dinosaurs cloned so I can hunt them from my new AH-53F Attack Super Stallion
[2] Build an ultimate naval strike WIG aircraft with every conceivable missile, gun and bomb along with lasers and a 500-ton payload. Go hunting in the Arabian Sea. Mike will be my first target.

[Mike_6002]

What did I offend you.............................

Hmmm..................maybe instead I by lot's of surplus soviet bombers and lots of Mi-8's and pirate like that or stick to an Uber AEGIS Cruiser that has ever modren CIWS computer possible and 30-mm Avenager turrets

You spammed.

Even a DDG-51 costs a billion dollars, a cruiser that goes beyound a Tico would cost 1.5-2 billion.

And I'd just lay some Cluster Gulfs in your path.

[Mike_6002]

[Zaia]

Hate to be realistic, but no matter how much I got, I would start off by paying off my goddamn student loans and my parents' bills.

After that, if I had mucho dinero, I'd:

1. send my parents to Europe, since my mom's always wanted to go and has not yet, and then send them to New Orleans because my dad's always wanted to go and has not yet.
2. send my brother Mike to Idaho to visit his best friend, and then to someplace exotic and exciting with said best friend.
3. rent an IMAX theatre so my brother Matt could play PS2 games in there for as long as he wanted--scratch that, I'd buy my brother Matt an IMAX theatre so he could whatever he wanted whenever he wanted.
4. visit my friends in Australia who I miss like crazy, buy a house in Salamanca, and marry an Aussie so I can have dual citizenship!
5. take my best friend Katy to Tahiti since we got gipped out of our trip due to those bastard guys who hijacked Fiji when I was there and delayed my flight (Fiji = Eeeeeeeeeeeevil ).
6. take my other best friend Sarah to Italia to put our remedial Italian to use like we've been planning for a year or two now...
7. buy my parents a new house/get my dad the sportscar of his choice.
8. buy myself an Audi TT, silver and a Porsche Carrera, silver
9. take my friends on a nice, lonnnnnnnng cruise together.
10.I'd buy Patrick his viola and get him started on some lessons, and I'd SEND HIM TO SAN FRANCISCO!!!.

Hmmm, I'm sure there's more, but that'll do, pig.

[fgalkin]

1 billion:

1)Buy houses around the world
2)By cars, choppers, planes.
3)invest money so it becomes even more.
4)buy an island
5)establish a pirate base on the island
6) use the loot to train army
7)take over the world.

Have a very nice day.

*HUGS!!!!* Thank you!!!

[weemadando]

Lets see...

1 million. Buy black market weapons and start the revolution. Use left-over cash to fund an "escape option".

1 billion. Buy weapons legally. Start the revolution. Once the Howard government has been overthrown and replaced by a government that realises that we ARE part of Asia whether we like it or not and that the US is NOT our bestest friend in the whole wide world. Then I'd start a corporation dedicated to creating an island in the pacific that has a 4000m mountain on it for skiing, and hell, is nice all year round at the base. An impossible dream I know. But thousands of suckers with cash don't.

[jegs2]

What would you do with it? What about a billion? A thousand? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand?

If I had a million dollars, I'd give ten percent to my church (actually, I'd spread it throughout various Christian charities). Then I'd pay off my debts (which are unfortunately considerable as of now). Finally, I'd invest the rest in a CD.
