If Someone Offered You A Billion Dollars...

If someone offered you a billion dollars if you'd do something stupid, insane or downright suicidal, what would you do?

Jacob · #2 05-24-2002, 10:07 AM

Absolutly ANYTHING(!) Prefarrably to do with my best friend

Sl'askia · #3 05-24-2002, 10:38 AM

Would depend on what this 'stupid thing' is...I mean...you can't enjoy 1 billion smackaroos if yer dead ya know...

Edit: WHOOT! This is my 2000th post!

Same here but if I had a billion dollors right now I would buy Howaii, build my own Amusement park which will have the worlds largest rollor coaster 600 ft, and buy 17 mansions and use them at different times of the year and keep the remaining money for myself in a safe deposite box somewhere on an island in the Atlantic buried so nobody will ever find it.

I would decide on a case-to-case basis. Tell me what I would have to do to be awarded the $1bn and I will tell you weather or not I will accept the challenge.

You think you'd have any money LEFT after trying to buy Hawaii?

I'd, uh... pay of my debts, that'd be good to start with...

Sydney · #7 05-24-2002, 12:29 PM

Congrats Dragadon.

paramiteabe, why buy Hawaii when you could buy an equally sufficient island at 1/50th of the price?

Anyway, I'd buy a piece of Antarctica on which I'd build a palace. There I'll scheme up a plan to conquer the world. Once I have acheived world domination, I'll develop a cure for death (to be used on your's truly), afterwhich I'll spread my wrathful tentacles to the farthest reaches of the universe!

Does 1 billion dollars go that far these days?

As for what I'd do to get the money, I'd draw the line at anything more extreme than amputating my pinky.

pinkgoth2 · #8 05-24-2002, 12:38 PM

Hmm. I'd do pretty much for it, though yes, it does depend on what. Of non-lethal things I wouldn't do, for one: Cryogenizing myself for a hundred years. Why? Because I don't know whether the billion dollars will be worth anything after that... nor will I know what to do with them in a world I don't know (= the future)! That being just one example.

What'd I do with the money? *suddenly gets an evil grin on her face* I'd make @440 work as my personal songwriters! *chuckles* Well, something along those lines. Or buy London's Camden. Or just buy a house there and spend the rest on things I need so I don't have to work. Camden. Oo. Noko. Oooo. ... okay, getting carried away, don't mind me, I'm gone...

Ugh...puh-leez. You would have one Hell of a time trying to gain control of the world with me at the pinnacle of Evilness...MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA...and with my horde of bitchess and cute, strong lads. And gays...cant 4get them. Yes...i can see it now...you all tentacleness and stuff and me. Dressed in black, with a black leather jacket on a mountain top. Surrounded by my leather clad vixens that would be capable of tearing you to shreds with their vicious tongues.

And you'd be tortured...you'd be trapped in a small cell with Munchman Abe and Pinky preaching to you. One telling you how good God is and how evolution was a test of our faith. And the other saying how Abe and Munch are based on real Aliens that Lorne met through a vision and that all of us should have Abe Tattoo's and stuff...yes, i believe my evil power has just entered into your viciousest nightmares...*Growls lowly and strokes one of his female bitches beside him* MUAHAHAHAHAAAAA

Hah! Do you really expect me to believe I'd last more than 24 hours with you as a lackey? The first martini I consume while under your assistance would be a cocktail of death! The throne is tempting, isn't it?

See, Danny? Sydney knows the story of MacBeth. Shakespeare ain't all bad.

*wipes her eyes* That was hilarious, Doug.
Thank you.

For Danny, so he can get ticked (yes, I randomly feel like it): "I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself, and falls on th'other [side]."

Jacob · #20 05-25-2002, 10:26 AM

Just imagine Earth like Hell though. With Dukes of the East and West and South. The leader in the North. Hmmmm...that would be interesting. (Ugh...how sad do i sound.)

You will regret rejecting my services, my friend... You have just made your first grave mistake...

*sidles over to Chris* You know a good lackey when you see one, don't you?

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #22 05-25-2002, 08:45 PM

Depends on what it is.

Silversnow · #23 05-26-2002, 12:14 AM

*looks around* How come everyone gives out their planes? That's kinda stupid, ya know. It's sooo James Bond and his army of lovers... Wait, army of lovers is a music group, right? Oh, to &%¤¤ with that. Don't think you can defeat me. I've already begun my victorious trail against world, no, space, no, everything domination! Mwuahahahahaa! And no, I wont tell ya how.

About the money:
Hmm... Depends on whatever I had to do. I've done some things in my life (i remember one thing. It tasted like soap in my mouth all the remaining day...). But I wont kill myself or throw myself to close-to-a-certain-death.

What I would do:
Err... I would... Do you think I would give out my plans?! I'm too intelligent to do that! You on the other hand, couldn't trick me into giving it out when you any time now could die because your small brain forgot to keep you breathing. Not even under torture. Hm? What are you doing with that thing? *gulps* Oh no, take that away... I wont give it out. Lay that down now, buddy.... heheh, nice joke, now put it away.... ..... ..... buddy?.... .... .... .... AARGH! *takes a really hastened retreat, all the time calling for my mother*

A cure for death?

"Hello, Mrs Hargreeves, not again, surely? Okay, take two of these a day, and try not to get run over by any more buses. Carol! Next patient, please!"

And I thought my plan to take control of my local Polo factory and fill in all the holes was fiendishly mischievious.

As for what I'd do for a billion pounds... what? Dollars? Oh, okay, for a billion dollars, I'd get a gun, point it at the person with the briefcase and say threatening things. I might even shoot him or her for a bit, but I'd make sure to phone for an ambulance/herse after scuttling away with the money, sniggering.

What I'd do with it? Buy out Encyclopaedia Britannica and rename it The Oddworld Encyclopedia, obviously.

Hehe, reminds me of an old April Fool joke Nestle did one year back, saying how a new EU directive didn't permit them to sell foodstuffs with holes in, and so they were selling "hole filling kits"...
(a sidenote on the "advert" read how macaroni manufacturers were rather annoyed...)
