What Should You Do With Your Billions of Dollars?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

if i won the lottery:

i would never work and keep going to university for a few years, until i have at least one degree
buy/build a nice house (a swingin batchelor pad would be more accurate )
buy stuff for all my friends and family
buy a couple of nice cars for myself
and get me a guitar for every day of the month

after that i'd stuff the rest in the bank and live off the interest.
and i'd donate some to various charities, but only once i've got everything for myself settled first

The other day, in study hall, i farted really loud, you know...so the guys would laugh...and i swear it was so hanus that Susie Johnson almost ralphed up her salsbury steak.

I wouldn't mind living in a "Blofeld" style underwater spider-base...with big windows so you can watch the sharks devour your enemies and an elevator that people don't like to ride in....oh and a white cat of course...muuuwwwahahahaaa

Either that or a hollowed out volcano with lots of people in space suits carrying briefcases and a tannoy system that you can't understand...

OK. It was pretty easy to find what Sir William H. Gates, MBE, is doing for charitable purposes. But I cannot find anything about Rupert Murdoch. Anyone know?

No frickin' charity - that's for sure! I'd make my own life as comfortable as possible, and then start to annoy the others. Eventually, I guess I'd try to ignite some war (civil or between countries) in some distant region and make profit by selling guns there, at the same time declaring that I'm defending world democracy.
Erm, that activity is already copyrighted (), so I'd probably just nuke somebody

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain

Buy several tons of nerve gas, kill everything in the world, except Koalas, then I'd forget why, and wander around for ages, bored and lonely.

1 buy an island, nme it "Principality of beer"
2 fill it with beer, in huge vats
3 drown myself in beer
4 some explorer gets one heck of a giggle

Post Fri Mar 05, 2004 4:21 pm

Well, I got my 10 chances at retirement to night. If I should win, I will post what I will do withit in the morning. I would be content with the take home amount of 2.5 million

Yes TLR will be remembered too.

Taw - "Tawakalnian special forces"? How much use can a bunch of overweight, half-drunk, vodka-soaked soldiers be?

Corsair - Why keep the koalas? Something to eat?
