The Dink Network

What do you do with it? I figure $1 million is enough to buy you all you need; a house, car, insurance, appliances, and furniture. Another one million to put in the bank and live off the interest. So youve got another million to buy all the dvd's, video games, junk food, and collections you want. That leaves 7 million to waste in an extravagant way. So what would you do? Build a monument to yourself made from stone? Re-enact Dink Smallwood as a play that becomes world famous? Sleep with over 1,000 women? Buy the worlds SPAM then wait for World War 3 and use the only food left (SPAM) to become ruler of the world?

I'd make a campfire out of them and grill sausages on it. Also I'd change a few million into coins and try to swim in them.

So i have $10 million, i'm goddam scared that someones going to stole 'em

what would the world be like if i had that much money?

World would be the same. There's thousands of big money people out there that haven't made a dint in things. However your world would change. The question is...how?

I'd buy that dadgum elusive electric cheese grater.

Buy land and live like an eccentric hermit. No, wait, buy one of every car I have ever drooled over. No um... give half to family and friends then travel the world without calling home so they can't keep phoning me for more money. Nope. Must lock self into my basement after mounting 37 large intimidating cameras at my front door. Then gleefully blast trespassers with anti-greed slogans. What the heck, do all the above.
But wait! Last I heard 80% of big money winners end up broke and depressed within 3 years!....
I'd probably build my own mechanics shop and restore cars. (between trips of course. )

So you are a mechanic and bodyman both? Wondering.

Interesting what people would do with money. I read the same thing about people coming up empty after winning huge sums of money. Then there are the ones that win with some else's money or bottle cap but they refuse to split the winnings. One especially nasty story was the guy that had bought his invalid mom's tickets (she gave him the money to purchase her tickets for her every week for years). One of the tickets hit paydirt but he refused to share because he said he used his own money.

Maybe the real question is how much would you sell your mom for?

Wonderful...weve got millionaires going crazy from paranoia and the one person purchasing something interesting WANTS AN ELECTRIC CHEESE GRATER?!

Where are the people talking about taking over a third world country and enslaving the populace to build a monument to yourself? Where are the people creating amusement parks for only themselves?

I would do what I mentioned in the other thread "Dude". I would build an apartment complex for us all to live with no living expenses. For that time we could not only do whatever we want, but together to scheme crazy things...that are best left unmentioned...

I first trained to be a machinist. Nobody was hiring/apprenticing for that, so I did some metal fabricating, and fixed cars on the side. Lately I make houses, but spend way too much time fixing this beater Daytona turbo. I turned out pretty handy. I fix whatever gets in my way.
As for my mom, I love her dearly, but I don't know anyone who is worse with money than her. I would protect what is rightly hers, but I'd best buy her condos or a fourplex giving her a home and rent for steady income.

you're right about the world being the same, so what i would do is try to make the world around me better by contributing most of the money to the people and places that needed it most instead of blowing every dime on unneccessarily fast racing cars with stripes and hot tubs that seat ninety-three people.

......the one person purchasing something interesting WANTS AN ELECTRIC CHEESE GRATER?!

Yep, thaaat's what I'd buy! But I'll never get one cuz another person that musta won 10 million bought them all and is keeping them as a secret weapon to use on all those greedy relatives and charities with their hands out.

Btw, Ric I didn't mean you personally when I asked how much moms are worth. Thinking more along the lines of so much money being some people's downfall. You, however, have fallen as low as you can get.

NAHHH! Just kidding you. You seem very nice and, from your post, a very good son.

/me has the dang song, "If I had a million dollars' stuck in his head.

Curse you! Curse you all!

I have an electric cheese grater.

If I'd have $10M, I'd give up my regular work (or take on less of it) and spend some time making a kick ass d-mod !

(got an idea for one lying on the shelf, just no time to ever get round to even start reading up on the "how" of making one)

Thank you Matrice some one with some imagination. The two wizards who came before you could only say that having an electric cheese grater is enough to satisfy all of one's material wnats and that what is really needed is a device to get songs out of your head when they get stuck in there.

Now where are Redink and all the others who I know will say something interesting?

...I hope.

I have an electric cheese grater

Sighhhh. Did I ever mention how much I really reeaaally like you. So where do you live and when will noone be home?

PS: VD, I am not a wizard, I am a sorceress.
And I'll have you know that electric cheese graters are essential to a well-balanced life.

me have money, me buy banana

hmm... i would change the world forever...

i would get the $10m, put it in bank, wait a few years for interest to build up, wait until microsot shares are cheap, buy microsoft, program viruses into all microsoft products that automaticaly send me everyones credit card details when they order online and slowly disintegrate their hard-drive. then, after doing so i would give the entire company back to whoever owned it before,and make it seem that they did it, not me. then i become rich and buy private jets (more like millitary jet) with the BEST technology in the world. and very spacious. so spacious i could fly a cesna inside without damaging anything. then i would steal everyones money using the virus, hide from the feds, buy the best encryption technology there is, cover up my tracks, steal more money, bribe all the news reporters to keep quiet, and then buy a satallite.

ok, after i have that done, (BTW the satellite is the best in the world) i would use the virus (it is a very good virus, isn't it?) to transfer all the worlds money to me (windows computers would work best, but some macs have windows apps on them, too!) and buy all of aussies military and police and other law enforcers. then i would buy plutonium/uranium (very expensive???) and order the aussie military to build nukes. then i would steal tech from US military (somehow, maybe with a newer, smarter, virus) and give the aussie military the designs. then we could nuke the worlds superpowers, including USA. especially USA. stuck up a-holes (it is a joke, i dont mean it).

now this is turning out pretty long, isn't it? well, i would steal the worlds money once more, and capture all people who attempt to bypass my security+viruses etc. and force them to work for me. if they dont they die. then i fly around in my huge plane (i don't mean fly the plane, i actually mean fly another plane inside the plane!) and then i would land and then fly the big plane and drop nukes on certain countries *cough cough* (sorry, i will get a lot of bad comments if i mention names) and then ALL HAIL NUKEMAN05, NUKEMAN5, NUKEMAN, FIREBALL5, FIREBALL, AND ARCTURUS, BRINGER OF ALL EVEIL! and i will change the spelling of the word 'evil' so that it is spelt 'eveil' because i misspelt it on MSN.

and that is what i would do with $10m

FB, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

So basically, you'd be one selfish son of a she dog?

Whoa, ancient topic revival.

well aids is a problem so id research hiv in a high securityplace

What the heck? Is there someone who would spend $10m on a good cause??

Of course! No one needs that much money, I'd give at least half of it away to help the rest of the world. It IS selfish to just keep it all.

REPLYING TO VAULTDWELLER

I would buy gas.

I would buy:
-10 NDS, PS2 games
-All accesories for PS2
-DSVision
- 3 Full HD TV's
- Satelite N with all programs that N offers
- New PC with many best stuffs for it(Except Vista)
- MP4 5 GB

Note to self: Adam Sandler's comedies make worthwhile references. 300 does not.

(admittedly, that is probably the best you can get from any of his films)

Actually, I was commenting on the info about the Zelda CDi games and not the 300 meme, though... now that you mention it, it has lost a lot of its humor through overuse.

(I also do agree quite strongly with your last statement. Good for some quotes, not much else.)

My father wove a tapestry of profanity which to this day is still hovering somewhere over Lake Michigan.

Well, I'd spend a lot of it on myself but also make a habit of surprising people with random acts of kindness.

One thing I've wanted to do for a while (which I think actually was done somewhere) is to leave envelopes with $100 notes in public toilets, and a not that says "Hope this brightens your day just a little!"
