If I was a rich man... Eccentric zanyness!

Tanukitsune · 09-23-2003, 08:05 AM

This is just for fun!

What would you do if you we were filthy rich? Ridiculously rich?
You might ask how rich are we talking, do we have a "limit"?
Let's just say you are so rich that you can bribe the limit to look the other way! :eek:
So rich you could bribe a rock to move out of your way, resulting with a very wealthy and confused rock, wondering why does it need money in the first place and how can he bloody think!
But you have to post eccentric (or insane, zany, funny) stuff, if you are going to say "Save the whales", you'd better continue with something like "by teaching them karate and buying them bazookas!"

Don't take it too seriuosly!
Ok, let's start:
-I'd hire an orquesta to play my favourite musical themes from videogames (Monkey Island, Ghost N Goblins, Castlevania) and 80's toons (Galaxy High, Transformers). Imagine Pavarotti singing "Robots in disguise!"
-I'd hire some scientists to build me a Mecha Godzilla, or Mazinger Z!
-I'd hire an army of Kunoichis to protect me!

-I'd use more scientist to make a toothpaste that I can use and have a glass of OJ later and not find it disgusting.
-Oh, how could I forget my "mansion", it would be huge, will a mall, with game, comic, and other stores, cinemas, theme parks (Monkey Island Fun Land, without the lava), I'd have different themed rooms/sections, some spooky, some like Monkey Island, and well you get the idea....

I guess you get the idea, remember, its for fun and you can buy ANYTHING! NO matter how impossible and non-existant it is!
I'll post more stuff later if this catches on...

Tanukitsune, what drug are you on? I'll pay you to give me some, I shit solid gold, that's how filthy rich I am.

SamandMax · 09-23-2003, 08:40 AM

I would buy a huge mansion, that has the ability to fly. Then I could drive around the world, meeting new people and making fun of them because they're not rich like me. And if I ever meet any other rich people, I'll punch them in the back of the head and steal their wallet.

Ditto.

Why does everybody say that!?!

I got hit on the head as a child....

I got a scar to prove it (seriuosly)...
You'd have to buy a time machine and whack yourself in the head as a kid!

Or in my case get the older sister to throw you to the wall! (Ouch)

Huz · 09-23-2003, 08:57 AM

I would build my own private navy and sail around the world bullying small, relatively defenceless countries, like Canada. Once someone managed to put a taskforce together to blow my poor navy out of the water, I would build some kind of flying base, like Skybase out of Captain Scarlet, from which to direct my operations. Also, I would develop some kind of death ray to defend the base, and fly around the world plundering countries unable to muster enough air power to defend against me, like the United States. It would be like that flying party out of HHGG, except better, and with more Angels.

I would also quite like to visit the Moon and claim it as a soverign nation.

Erwin_Br · 09-23-2003, 09:05 AM

I would buy Microsoft and turn it into a chocolate factory, okay?

Or Luxembourg.

twifkak · 09-23-2003, 09:22 AM

1)The mansion thing. When I was young I drew out specs.
2)My own theme song, and a posse to follow me and play it. (See: I'm Gonna Get You Sucka or Family Guy.)

LOL!

I'd probably buy and/or make clones of The JB's, and then make them play non-stop in the funk bar of my absurdly huge mansion.

Garyos · 09-23-2003, 09:32 AM

I'd buy a huge grey box, and then I'd put all my money in it. Then I would put a huge "$" sign on it, and jsut spend my days swimming in all the money like dolphin, and dig through it like a mole, and pour it over me....

Oh, and I'd wear a top hat. And have wiskers.

I woke up in the hospital!

Years later when WWF wrestling got popular she used me to "practice"...
(Curls up into fetal position)...
New idea:
-Buy time machine. Travel back in time to bully my big sister when she was little...

Synonym · 09-23-2003, 10:06 AM

I'd buy all of you and have you making adventure games for all eternity... Except you Garyos.. I'd buy the pluh-guy and cuff you two to each other.

justG · 09-23-2003, 11:17 AM

Hmm...

- I'd buy all the classic adventure licenses from companies like Sierra and LucasArts and whomever else, and give them to people who'd know what to do with them.

- I'd build an amusement park that contained areas modeled after environments from favourite adventures, and the rides would be all the favourite transportation methods... you could hovercraft on the lake, and instead of taking a cable car from one end of the park to another, you'd ride on "flying carpet" -like things, modelled like pages from a book. Or something.

- I'd have to have a monkey.

- I'd have to have the Dodge Tomahawk.

- I'd fund all indie adv developers.

- I'd do lots of other non-zany things that would be of no interest here

Egarthen · 09-23-2003, 12:10 PM

"What would you do if you had a million dollars?"
"I'll tell you what I'd do. Two chicks at the same time."

Ah, Office Space. One of the greatest movies ever.

If I were filthy stinking rich, I'd build a gigantic pyramid shaped house next to a New Mexico highway. Freak people out. Also, I'd like a gold, robotic penguin.

Kingzjester · 09-23-2003, 01:57 PM

I would buy Shakespeare's tombstone and use it as a headboard for my bed.
I'll trap Rush Limbaugh in my private dungeon and force him to play Diablo II for food.
I will dance the lambada around Capitol Hill with a wet ten thousand dollar bill glued to my forehead. When the line of dancing congressmen forms behind me, I'll rip the bill into tiny pieces and throw it in the air. Then I'll film them fighting for the pieces and sell it as 'Congressmen Gone Wild - Performance Art', propagating my wealth.
I'll commission a nude sculpture of John Ashcroft in heroic Greco-Roman style.
I'll buy Disneyland and convert it into a bondage colony.
I'll buy a comfortable chair.
I'll buy a pair of shoes I really like.
I'll project my computer desktop on an overhead screen at a very expensive resolution.
I'll buy a whole library and hire a staff to keep it up to date - just so that in case I cannot find what I am looking for, I could have the librarians flogged.
I'll buy a coffeehouse that will attract beautiful beatnik women who would be able to look past my filthy richness into my Marxist soul.
I'll live forever.

SamandMax · 09-23-2003, 02:04 PM

I thought of some other stuff:

Have a giant ruler built, just so I can say I own a giant ruler.

Buy Cuba and rename it 'Rocksville USA'.

Re-enact 'Jaws 3-D' with William Shatner, Corey Feldman, and a mop.

Create a superband with the ressurected bodies of Jimmi Hendrix, John Lennon, Joe Strummer, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, and Ghandi, who would play tambourine.

Buy a huge pool so I can swim in my money like Scrooge McDuck.
