Stupid shit to do with money
 
If I was Bill Gates rich I'd do two really things stupid things with my money:

1. Right when you walked into my house I'd have an assload of those replica storm troopers, and arrange them in all in formation, also when the door opened Darth Vader's theme (The Imperial March) would play, kinda like this:

The Setup:

The Music:


2. I would have a bar in my basement, but I'd build an exact replica of the bar from Cheers (the tv show)

Would you guys do anything as excessively wasteful?

xoxoxoBruce 07-15-2007 10:27 PM

I rather see the bar from Star Wars.

rkzenrage 07-16-2007 02:24 AM

My wheelchair would be SICK man. Hover option, mags, guns (regular and stun), chrome, fast, stereo, good shit.
Oh, and a gimp.
My home would resemble hell, most would fear entering, ever.

Probably not. I'd want to keep it low key if, for instance, I won the lottery, for privacy reasons. About the most wasteful thing I dream of is alternative real estate development (green building, permaculture, etc.) which probably wouldn't make any money.

I'd hire a chauffeur, because I hate driving.

I'd fund an orchestra and an opera company from the ground up. I'd be the principal clarinet, and Mrs. Dallas would be the music director. I'd be very up-front that this was a vanity project, but we would still make sure it kicked ass.

I'd donate enough money to my alma mater that they couldn't refuse it, but the condition would be they'd have to name a building after a professor that the students liked, but who pissed off the administration.

If you had that much money, why not go all the way and get real people in stormtrooper armor to stand by? Then they could salute you & everything as you walked in, or escort you to your shuttle, er, I mean, car.

If you do you should also hire a "Cliff," and "Norm," possibly a "Diane."

I'd buy real estate.... something like this

You'd be happy till you discovered there was no fresh water source, the bugs would be intolerable, no one would be able to visit (that may not be a bad thing), and a small tusnami would ruin all your fun... forever.

rkzenrage 07-17-2007 12:51 AM

Used to have a tiki-bar, would have another one. I miss it.

SteveDallas 07-17-2007 09:01 AM

Maybe I'd set up a Twiki bar.

Since they've already done everything stupid with money that can be imagined, I'd probably just buy Dubai.

Except that it has too much beach.

Shawnee123 07-17-2007 03:54 PM

What I would do with a boatload of money:

Quit this job
Then I'd quit this job.
After that, I'd probably quit this job again.
And in case it didn't take, I'd quit this job. I might go into the office of the Prez and take a poo on his desk, just for good measure.

Yeah, gross.

rkzenrage 07-17-2007 04:14 PM

Hard to think of stupid shit... I would hire specialists and try to live longer and start a charity.
Would buy a lot of music, I don't think that's stupid.
Oh, I want a submarine.
Reunite Digital Underground even if it's against their will, perhaps on the submarine.
Oh, minions... lots of minions.

glatt 07-17-2007 04:34 PM

I'd build a castle on the summit of a big hill. It would have a secret cave entrance down at the bottom of the hill and regular entrances on the ground level up at the summit. There would be a zip line going down to the bottom of the hill, and my friends would all live down there. I'd use my zip line to visit them.

Oh and there would be one room in my castle that would have shag carpet on all the walls and floor. There would be a root beer machine so whenever I wanted something to drink, I could just grab for the dispenser hose. Another room would have a big trampoline floor. Also one with an indoor pool. A go cart track in one large room too.

I've been thinking about this since I was 8.

rkzenrage 07-17-2007 04:59 PM

Ok batman.

One month each year do physical labor building homes and infrastructure in developing nations (no, they don't get cash. The bastards can earn their own.)

None of those things were bad enough to talk Marlon Brando out of "buying" it. I'm sure I'd be just fine...

zippyt 07-17-2007 09:15 PM

With Bill Gates money she could hire kids to catch them for a bounty per bug !!

Nobody's mentioned this one yet.

Well, that took me a second, UG. Good one!

I would slowly turn myself into a super-computer. Then I could waste more time here with even more convenience.
What? That's not stupid......

Urbane Guerrilla 07-20-2007 02:29 AM

...it's Borg!

How to neutralize those wicked Borg-anizers: get them arguing with a Vogon about whether resistance is futile or useless.

I'd donate it to charity........yeah right. I'd make a roll of toilet paper out of 1s just to say I've wiped with money.

here's what Louis CK would do, I like the part about "Shit Ass Pet Fuckers"
