the old question..what would you do if you won a half billion dollars on the lottery, everybody talks about it and dreams but what if you were really the one that hit all the right numbers ,what would you do with all that money ?,would you help people ? buy a big house in La Jolla Ca.?
it's just a thought.

    I've always told my co-workers that I'd pay off all of their debts +$25,000 if I won that kind of money. At least the people I liked! Of course my family would be taken care of. And I would build a state of the art fire station for my community and help fund a full time, paid staff. That's a good start. Half a billion is a lot of damn money.

    And fuck co-workers who go around getting people to chip in $20 for a lotto pot. They should be beaten within an inch of their lives with car antennas.

    It's the dumbest form of gambling. It preys on the poorest people. And yet I can't make a legal wager on a NFL game ...

    Pearl Jam and Tool twinbill.

    I'd have you guys up in hotels. I create the rooming lists:

    Badbrains and Godfather get a suite.

    Hrrmph! I put in four bucks for the office thing...but wasn't coerced =)

    Thirty, I LOVE your ideas - both of them!

    I wonder how much of a headache that amount of money would create - so much to manage. Would definitely have some fun in bettering the lives of others (I actually had a great idea about this earlier!). Would donate to my favorite animal and veteran causes. Give a shitload to our family.

    It's fun to fantasize about this.

    There is a good chance I would end up squandering it on causes like this ...

    Hahahaha!

    Think of the odd couple badbrains and godfather sauntering down to the free breakfast together: godfather all sour because badbrains beat him to the waffle maker... and badbrains steamed cause GF snoring all night and losing the remote somewhere in his sheets with fox news playing too loudly.

    Well, since thirty has twinbilled my 2 favorite bands, I think I can share a suite with GF. Hopefully he won't pull any shady shenanigans at night. Just saying. Hahaha
