you've opened up a real can of worms here... (visual aid, anyone?) phredgreen's visual wish list jaguar xkr for my roadside needs, citation x (with crew) for my more rapid-deployment needs, along with a... c-130 following closely behind with my necessities (gotta get the jag around somehow). who says living in a glass house is a bad thing... a snazzy new computer... as well as a little portability. and a little security. beyond that, lofts in a few select places... one here in the valley, portland, boston, tokyo, hong kong, sydney, prague, and london beyond all that? have wile-e come out to each of my lofts and do them up with his audiovisual magic, then grab as many tfp members can take a lil time off and hit each of those spots over the course of a year. how do we get that many people around at once? glad you asked. while we're supplying tranpsortation, why not get a little crazy. ducati monster a REAL humvee and a fully done-up maximog package (sans grizzly old dude).

Phredgreen, I noticed you included the lab trailor with the maximog. Good call.
I really don't want that much stuff. I want the cash to travel. But I would like a small condo at this resorton Maui, which may be my favorite place on the planet.

I'd be tempted to buy a house in one of the ritzy new sub-divisions on the edge of town, and then invite the homies from our neighborhood over to hang out, just to scare the neighbors. And start driving my '82 F150, with the disintigrating bed, on a daily basis.

Damn... ya gotta ask the hard questions don't ya? I think phredgreen pretty much summed it up for the decedant side of me... now... the other part of me... I'd sell all the shit I just bought... and since money was no object... I'd pay every damn teacher 2x what they're currently making... build better schools... then start spending money to feed, cloth and house the millions of homeless and marginal people in this 'great nation' of ours...

* Design my own Estate.
* Lingenfelter Twin Turbo Corvette * Get my laser eye surgery * Get my tooth bonding fixed * Pay off my relative & best friends bills * Create a new IT consulting firm * Do the TFP up right. (HW wise) * And have a huge TFP adventure during Festival in Brazil (after a cruise down there with all the regulars) * Travel the world, go to all the interesting places and do it up right. * Start getting personal trainer for Martial Arts * Get a personal tutor for Guitar, Piano & Drums * Go to as many of the concerts I want (with backstage passes) * Set up a very large art studio and a gallery for it in NYC. * A right-hand man/woman to remember, the little stuff for me & arrange things. And when I get tired of all that... * Believe it or not, go back to College... and get my PhD in Physics, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Mathematics. Or at least one doctorate and the learning equivalent in personal training. * And then set up my own lab. And in that meantime of having all that fun, a sweet lady will hopefully decide to hang around. Last edited by rogue49; 06-02-2003 at 05:06 AM.. |

Houses for myself, Mom and Sister
Big ass motorcycle for Dad. Anything my best friend wants. A farm house way out in the country for me with lots of outbuildings I can convert into a recording studio, garage, weight room, etc. Donations to organizations I really care about Finally, I'd pay Anna Nicole Smith to do anything, other than continue that damn tv show. Holy crap is that bad.

As for me. I would like a nice house ($200,000 ish). Decent car. ('03 Jetta?) and to travel alot. I would also buy a house for my mom and sisters. Wouldn't for my dad only because I think he would end up going into debt,selling it and then going deeper in debt. He is quite bad with money. Thats about all I really want. I would put various neat things in my house. Not for my own amusement so much as to have have parties A few choice arcade machines would be nice (A few DDR machines, The old simpsons arcade machine,old x-men arcade machine,pool table,air hockey and atleast one racing game were you can race like 4 people at a time)

I must give mad props to the Office Space reference
and am I the only one to find the Tropical Island incredibly humorous? I think I would just like to be able to pay off my parents bills, finish building their retirement home and give them enough money (~5million) to retire and be happy the rest of their lives.. They have earned it. Then with whatever is left, goto school at a bit slower pace for subjects I am interested in, buy a tropical island with its own internet access, start up my own community there. granted, lots of kinks to work out in that last paragraph, but I really don't plan on doing this anytime soon so why think about it now? /edit And alienware seems like they make the most powerful laptops, but if I were to get one of those, I think I would actually want one with a battery life as well so I could take it on trips and do simple tasks without having to be plugged in maybe it is just me

If money was truly no object then get everything everyone has asked here for them; there should be more than enough to go around.
Invest enough money to get a Russian manned flight to Mars, with me on board as an observer / passenger / cosmonaut. (I say Russia because the US wont let anyone outside the program go--with certain excpetions ie good public figures. Russia will take anyone if you pay them) The same for a trip to the moon. Go see the Titanic Produce and Direct movies Bring the Ark of the Convenent into the public light Buy 3000 acres of land (Montana), build a moderate 3 story house with an observatory on top and a vast 20 story underground complex with enough supplies to keep 6 families well for 200 years. (6 just popped into my head)====just incase. invest into homeless teen and troubled youth programs where they are seperated from mainstream society and taught martial arts for a period of weeks. (Like Muay Thai kickboxing camps in Thailand or Band of the Hand . . etc) invest into various other research areas such as cancer Take private lessons from Dan Inosanto If I wasnt married or had a girlfriend either find two beautiful materialistic women and see what that is all about; or hire a $300,000 escort for the night.-----guilty pleasure what can I say

I would just never, ever work for anyone again and just travel aimlessly living in hotels and wandering around. I would have as few possessions as possible.
Sophie? That's the best you guys can do when money is no object??? A little too passed around for my taste.
