What would you get for yourself? Do you have an itch that needs scratching? Mine would be a house with a basement. Something like 3500 above ground and the same below for Ping Pong, Theatre room & wine cellar. That is what I would get. DaDakota FPS is for sale you know...
I'd get myself a new lifestyle. Sounds obvious, but that's where I'd derive the most pleasure. Being able to buy my friends as many drinks as I like, being able to walk into a coffee shop and not have to worry about whether I can afford it, eating out all of the time, dressing in clothes that are actually from the 21st century, not having to worry about where my next paycheck is coming from, being able to audition as much as I'd like to, being able to take jobs based on the artistic opportunity and not having the money and exposure be such a huge part of it, this would be enough. Really, the first thing I'd buy would be a sailboat for my Dad. The lifestyle would come after.
no taxes on this million? -buy a jaguar -pay for college -get an indoor swimming pool -buy all my friends super cool stuff -feed some hungry people and with the rest i would shower daily.
Man, just like Peter said, I'd do nothing. Swirve.com and the future politicalpages.com would never have to wonder about the sputtering economy. Me pops would retire as well. Other than that, buying season tickets to the Rockets, Astros, and Texans would top the list. Then I'd buy a Winnebago and follow DMB around all tour. Oh yeah, beer...lots of beer. But one thing would be for certain, I'd never work again.
I'd Move to Philadelphia, buy season tickets to the Flyers, buy my self a Porcshe 911 turbo, a nice house, 2 dogs, and thats about it
YOU need a million bucks for that?? hell just go to any collage meat market type bar/clubs and go talk to the semi trashy group of girls. you know the ones. the long island Iced teas will take care of the rest. and as far as never working again for the previous poster.... what are you thinking??? do you know how liittle a million is these days. i understand if you are say 60, and only plan on another 20 years sure 50k a year would support you fine. but that is without inflation. by the end of that 20 years you will be living on the equililent of 32K since you are a DMB fan, you are likely not much older than 30, but try to stretch 1,000,000 over 50 years. now your living on 20,000 if you want that winny, your out another 50-100k, but no matter what beer and gas is gonna sink ya. if I had your dream, io would get a sweet part ime job with flexable hours, you got half the year to travel, aqnd the rest to earn weed money ok Im a big wet blanket i know. 1 mill would buy me out of debt, and maybe a sensable new car. after that its all about funding my company, so i can truely live it up. you know what im talking about. collage student for life!!!!!!! i will spend the rest of my days hanging with the trashy girls from the meat market, filming it and sending it to A-Train. see, I'm generous PEACE
I'd drive over to Royal Oaks and buy the house of my dreams on the golf course. Then I'd build my pops a house on a lake so he could fish anytime he wanted. os
I just have to say this too....I just went onto dell.com, and they are having a promotion to clear out their refurbished systems...I bought 4 of them all 1.7 or 1.8 ghz, and with CDRW/DVD combos....and spent less then 4k...MY GOD !!! I have 3K budgeted per system in my new games budget...I just saved over 8k......I LOVE DELL !!! DD
<i>Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars? Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man. Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time? Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money. Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks. Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on me do. Peter Gibbons: Good point. Lawrence: What about you, what would you do? Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time? Lawrence: Well yeah. Peter Gibbons: Nothing. Lawrence: Nothing, huh? Peter Gibbons: I'd relax, sit on my ass all day, I would do nothing. Lawrence: Well you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do ****. </i>
Guess you never watched Office Space. A-Train's been trying for the last 100 posts to say something funny and people like you just keep missing the humor.
<b>Thank you</b> Vengeance and DoD! <i>Comic Book Guy: We are hardly nerds. Would a nerd wear such an irreverent sweatshirt? (open his jacket to show off his shirt) Lisa: (reading the shirt) "C:/DOS C:/DOS/RUN RUN/DOS/RUN". (laughs) Oh, only one person in a million would find that funny. Frink: Yes, we call that the, "Dennis Miller Ratio."</i> I guess I'm the Dennis Miller of clutchcity.net?
Cohen, My builder tells me that to build a basement costs only 33% more money. Think of it this way, they build swimming pools don't they? The reason they don't build basements is that the US government mandates that all slabs must be 3 feet below the freeze line. There is no freeze line in Central Texas so they can build the slab on the surface. The only issue would be finding a builder that has basement building experience. I WILL get my basement someday !!!

If I were a millionaire... 1. I would have a lot more post on CC.net cause I would have a nicer computer chair and more time to sit at home. 2. Decent house with an indoor basketball court and a pool. Maybe buy one of those old Govt. Nuclear Fallout shelters for sale. 3. Rockets Season Tickets 4. New Dodge Viper. 5. No More Work - Ever.
If I were a rich man, didle deedle deedle didle deedle didle deedle dum...All day long I'd search the Rocket's Net...If I were a wealthy man... Actually, I'd take a very slow boat around the world hitting every port available with a long hold-over in Tibet (via India) and Peru to hang with the monks at Lhasa and the Aztec ghosts in Macchu Picchu. Yea, that's what I'd do... Oh yea, and keep my present one man graphic operation... Yea, that's what I'd do... Oh yea, and move to the beach. Yea, that's what I'd do... Oh yea, ... RR
I'd improve my recording studio, beef up all my computers, do some home improvements, buy a country home, get the best healthcare coverage money could buy (sure sucks when you don't have vision or dental sometimes), buy my wife something really nice and maybe get some courtside Rockets seats. I'd also spread out a percentage of it among several charities.
You don't have to be a millionaire to have a basement -- just a northerner. All the houses I grew up in (Michigan and New Jersey) had them. My favorite basement in Michigan was so big (and empty) I used it as a makeshift roller rink in the winter when there was 3 feet of snow outside.
