if i had a million

this is the corniest question ever asked .. but the one i'm actually interested in.

i know its ripe for the usual joke answers (like i always give myself)

but if you feel like it .. what would you do if you won a million - no more no less.


I know I'd try to let the interest grow for a couple of years. I'd have to see if it was enough for us to live off and quit our jobs.

if i was able to be finantially stable that way I'd love to open a specialty video(rent and buy)/memorabilia store.

(cult/horror/foreign)

some place I'd never have to listen to assholes ask me about movies I hate.

Are we speaking about 1 mill being the total AFTER taxes?

Quit IMMEDIATELY.

Move to a nicer part of the country. Get a decent house. InvestInvestInvest.

Begin writing as an occupation and whore myself until someone bought something and THAT became my main source of income.


Oh, and probably get REAL drunk.

I would invite MTV to make a reality show about me, then complain about the fame. :D

I'd buy a modest house; one bigger than I need for myself, but not rediculous.

I'd get a job that I enjoy. Just want to have something to do 3-4 days a week that pays just enough to cover utilities so I don't have to dip into my accounts for it. Maybe working at a comic book shop or an independent movie store.

Open a few bank accounts and start gathering interest. Probably buy some safe stocks.

After a few years, I'd definately want to open a big collectibles store for movies, video games, toys, comics etc.

Finally, if I made enough money, I'd try to buy the rights to a few B Horror flicks that haven't seen the light of day for awhile and re-release them.

Oooo.... Full circle....

A thread about having 1 million dollars, started by a canadian, then someone posts the lyrics to a song about having a million dollars, FROM A CANADIAN BAND!


Wait, are we talking US currency, here? Because if we are talking canadian then you can get a Denny's grand slam breakfast with extra bacon. Maybe a large slurpie.

First- pay off debts.

Buy some musical equipment.

Help some indie musicians out by releasing their CDs.

Spend some money publisizing my station.

Put on some theatrical productions.

Re-release some obscure music from the past.

Have some parties.

Lay around and watch a lot of movies.

Spread around a bit of dough to folks who've helped me over the years.

jesus i hate Dennys.
We have one in my town .. i cant think of anything that represents an invasion of the USA into Canada more than that fucking Dennys.

the clientel is usually 90% nascar lovin' baseball cap wearin' (inside) hillbilly inbreds. The food is typically american .. massive quantities of tastless garbage. Soylent Green would be more appetizing.

the kicker is ... my wife loves the place.

i refuse to go there anymore - but i remember the times in the past when i did... i could never get over the habit of looking out into the parking lot to make sure my imaginary 18 wheeler (haulin engine parts) was safe.
