See that's the problem. When Star Wars and porn comes up, you don't think Amidala, nor Leia, nor a Twil'lek. No, you think Ewok.

That is disturbing.
Personally when I think of Star Wars Porn, I think of Obi Wan(Ewan McGregor Obi, NOT Sir Alec Guiness(sp) *shudder*) and Darth Maul going at it :D
Boing!!! I remember that pic too... *BOING!!!*

Gee thanks for the thread hijack Nf-Utvol! :roll:

Well that would have been okay too. But Ewok?

1 Million: Collage, house, computer, same stuff as everyone else

100 million: The above on a larger scale, plus some heavy investment

1 billion: The above, but I'm also going to buy up some USN vessels to make sure they're preserved. Then I'd buy an island in the pacific off the French then get some older military aircraft, Mirage III's, MiG-29, to play around with.

100 billion: I'm buying the UAE, or at least one of its sheikdoms. I'm also going to talk the Russians out of a small army of modern equipment, then I'm going to invade another small country for my own amusement. I'd also buy the rights to Star Trek and a few other franchises I'd like to see dead or done differently.

Total Credit Card bills: $10,000.00
Total pending College bills: $5,000.00

Fat new SUV: $25,000.00
Trim new mororcycle: $10,000.00

Then? Live large... enjoy the feeling of not having to work at all.

With a BILLION everthing changes--

That's when I get my surplus Tarawa class amphib assault ship and become a citizen of the world at large...
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Reminds me of somthing else to add to my 100 billion list; Buy a couple SS-27 regiments off Russia and use them to force Japan to cease anime production, or at least rid of it al mecha scum.

Anything <$10K is going towards bills.

10-100K blow 10%, 40% for new car, down payment on a new house, invest 50%

100K-1M same as above, but blow a little more, and spread quite a bit around to my friends and family, college trusts for the cousins

10M-100M Wee, this is where it starts getting really fun. I'd set up some trusts to support various creative arts and some pet ideas of mine. Yearly parties for all my friends, airfare provided. Meet Drewcifer in Micronesia!

1B+!! Well, everyone here gets a Lego Stardestroyer :) Make some movies, change the world (free college for all!), that kind of stuff. Go to space. And some killer practical jokes, like buy ALL of the Superbowl commerical time to play the clip of "My Little Buttercup" from The Three Amigos over and over again.

No matter how much it is for me it would go to my world domination plan, that basicly covers everything I would need.

If i had a million quid i'd buy my mum and dad a nice house in Holywood, which is a wee town just outside Belfast not the movie place.

I'd then take over my current house and terrorise my neighbours with week long parties and lots of heavy metal played REAL LOUD.

I'd quit my job as i hate working. Maybe i'd buy into the computer business 2 mates of mine just set up.

I'd buy a new wardrobe as i hate my clothes but can't afford anything better.

I'd get all the CDs i always wanted but couldn't afford.

I'd donate a good 100,000 of it to Lukemia research.

If i got more than a million i'd never spend another day sober again.


My best idea was to rent out the Belfast Hilton and invite and pay for all the SD.Net members to come over for a party. but not the ones i don't like i'd be makign contracts out for them and you know who you are.

Tuition first. Then porn, and then video games. Hey, there's only so much porn in the world, you know. If anything's left, I put it in a bank and let the money grow.

I'd make a kick-ass movie or TV show, like Bab5 but with my own universe. And also negotiate with Lucas to have the Zahn trilogy made into a movie trilogy, using the best uber-animation that can be developed to stand in for the aging stars.
