If I had a Billion Dollars...

flere-imsaho · 12-14-2004, 11:42 AM

...I would:

1. Buy the Minnesota Vikings to save them from the clutches of a useless owner.

2. Tear down (or vacate) the Metrodome.

3. Build a new OUTDOOR stadium (to strike fear into the hearts of November/December visiting teams), with heated seats (because I'm not a complete sadist) and trams from the parking lot.

sorry, that's my random thought for the day

VPI97 · 12-14-2004, 11:47 AM

...I'd build a tree fort in our yard

Edit - You could help, it wouldn't be that hard.

MizzouRah · 12-14-2004, 11:48 AM

Puts pinky finger up to lips.

I would move to the Bahamas or somewhere with a beach.

And I would rent an attack helicopter to launch hellfire missiles at your new stadium, for we cannot allow Minnesota to have nice things.

Raiders Army · 12-14-2004, 12:05 PM

I would go into the bank and tell them that I want to withdraw all of my money...in ones...then I would sit at a strip club forever.

No mention of 2 chicks at the same time?

Just for fun, you could have both teams benches on the same sideline, and put it in Bloomington.

oliegirl · 12-14-2004, 12:57 PM

I'd buy you a K car...a nice Reliant automobile

spleen1015 · 12-14-2004, 01:24 PM

I would buy a bowling center and pay myself $1,000,000 a year to bowl all day, but only if I felt like it.

tategter · 12-14-2004, 01:37 PM

I would finally be able to afford my wife.

Fidatelo · 12-14-2004, 01:43 PM

I'd do anything I wanted, whenever I wanted, no matter what it was.

MylesKnight · 12-14-2004, 02:59 PM

.....I'd have enough $$$ to be able to concentrate solely on TCY to see if I could finally get my UCF Dynasty over the hump and into the NCAA Playoffs (I play Playoff/Tourney Format).

.....oh, and I'd be doing this while hanging out in my plush condo on the beach in the Caymans.

Schmidty · 12-14-2004, 03:00 PM

I dislike the Barenaked Ladies

MizzouRah · 12-14-2004, 03:11 PM

I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while
my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a billion dollars.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'
you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a billion dollars.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a million dollars.

SplitPersonality1 · 12-14-2004, 03:17 PM

I'd buy you a green dress.

But not a real green dress, that's cruel.

JonInMiddleGA · 12-14-2004, 03:48 PM

I'd buy me an island and ensure that I had reliable high speed 'net access no matter what it took.

That, and condo in Vegas for when the mood struck me, and I'd be pretty much set.
(Well, other than having a pilot/plane on call for when I wanted to go to/from LV).

MIJB#19 · 12-14-2004, 04:29 PM

... I'd have to buy my college buddy a villa.
We promissed to each other that if one of us would ever have 100 million Euro, we'd buy the other guy a 1 million Euro villa.

Right on. Get the Vikings back outside the way it should be.

I would go to Germany and have a brew.

Airhog · 12-14-2004, 04:54 PM

Aw man, with that kind of $$ you could have 32 leagues of 32 players, with the champion in each facing off in the end, and thereby giving a lot more of this boards loyal followers a great job.

Imagine the competition that would ensue to be one of the 32 in the original play though, the lengths people would go to for that job...

Raven Hawk · 12-14-2004, 04:59 PM

I can sympathise with that but the club would be Man Utd and the useless owner Glazer (but I'd need another half billion)

I'm not sitting next to Coffee Warlord. That Penguin is distracting and not to mention downright scary....

It would be something involving a huge tract of Colorado land, a private airstrip, and a golf course.

Aaaaah. Yessss! That's right. Now I am remembering the scene. Sorry, I clearly havn't seen Office Space enough (only twice). It's on my list of DVD's to pickup when I can find it for dirt-cheap, as it is a classic and I do like it.

Dutch · 12-14-2004, 10:28 PM

Lawrence: You don't need a million bucks to do nothing.

RPI-Fan · 12-15-2004, 12:12 AM

I would:

Be Ed Belfour, and when a cop tries to arrest me tell him I'll give him "one billion dollars" and when I refuse to leave the bar when he tells me to, I'll tell him to "make me".

Tasan · 12-15-2004, 12:22 AM
