If I had a Billion Dollars...
 
...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?

Now this is a pretty cool idea Scoop. ;)

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.

Prolly could buy the whole island.

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.

I am shocked and amazed that radii didn't make this comment, or at least follow up to it! I guess I must not be doing my job very well... ;)

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.

And that would be the next thing to do after that.

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

Id pay Jim 1 million dollars to write TCY2 with MP support. Then I could pay 113 of you guys to play the other teams full time :D

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'd die the next day. Now wouldn't that be ironic?

Don't ya think?

It's like RAAAAAIIIIIINNNN . . .

By quoting an Alanis song, you have gone from one of my favorite members of the FOFC community (due to the Thunderdome dynasty) to one of those people I put on my ignore list. :mad:

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: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.

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....

Craptacular 12-14-2004 08:16 PM

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

this calls for a banning

skrath 12-14-2004 08:28 PM

Office Space.

DaddyTorgo 12-14-2004 08:41 PM

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: So? What would you do with a million bucks?
Peter: I would quit my job and do nothing.
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

I'd post more often here.

Honest.

Boy I miss you guys.

TLK 12-15-2004 01:36 AM

I'd send Joey Harrington on a very long "vaction"....

MikeVic 12-15-2004 10:19 AM

I would move this board to a private server. ;)

No, really, my dream is to own an NFL franchise...

duckman 12-15-2004 04:57 PM

I would have Jerry Jones kidnapped and place him with African cannibals who dig "white meat".
