If I had $27 million after taxes, you can guarantee that I'd waste at least $1.1 mil of it on something as dumb as this.  As would just about everyone else here, I imagine.

No, I would not invest in a video game. Orgy theme park, maybe.

Agreed.

The lotto is for poor people. :)

Except after they win, I guess. :hmm:

Until they become poor again.

$1 million: computer game--WitP level of detail, plus diplomatic and grand strategic options, full war.

$2 million: Sexbot trust fund.

$500,000: Thai vacation.

$1 million: sports car.

$500,000: condo in Seattle.

$1 million: law firm?

$2 million: condo in Burj Khalifa.

$1 million: license from Dubai government to drop pennies on migrant workers.

$1 million: donations to no kill shelters nationwide.

$1 million: outfitting Occupy protesters with gas masks.

$1 million: MST3K festival at local theatre.

$-120,000: Shit Is Fucked Up and Bullshit Foundation.  A 501(c) that I manage and which pays me a salary of $120,000 a year for ten years, clears many if not most of the purchases above as expenses, and supports whatever I'm into that day.  LOL EAT THAT TAXPAYERS.

Any more ideas?  I've got more than half of it left.  Comic book store?

Put a hundred thousand into flying all Languish virgins to Holland or Brazil.  Make sure you track down that wacky but nice Finnish kid that bailed a couple years back.  Not Mouth Sugar, the other one.

I was about to point that out, too.  I wonder if Ide has maybe never gone on a real vacation before. :hmm:

I think you missed the part where most of my purchases are appreciating investments or take advantage of programs to actually put me ahead. :P

Either that or you hate animals. :(

Quote from: CalI was about to point that out, too.  I wonder if Ide has maybe never gone on a real vacation before. :hmm:

:(

I went to Mardi Gras.  That cost like $2000.

Anyway, I'm budgeting bribe money to get me out of Thai prison.
