[Connonym]

12. Find up how much of it I'd have to give Johnny Depp to sleep with me n/t

[Lyric]

20. He'll be too busy being my personal footstool.

If I had $100,000,000 to give away, Johnny Depp would already be on my personal staff of slaves. Along with GoPsUx :evilgrin:

[trof]

13. I'd pay off your mortgage.

If you don't have a mortgage, I'd get you one and then pay it off.
Then pay mine, my daughter's, anybody else who wants to sign up.
:-)

[Hugin]

15. Would it be on one of those gigantic billboard checks?

That'd be cool.

I've never had one of those.

I'd probably start some sort of foundation with the money... Dedicated to
various interests.

[Lyric]

17. Totally. We'd have all the pomp and circumstance.

I might even hire Ed McMahon, if he's still alive. (Is he?)

[Hugin]

28. Will there be trained cowboy monkeys riding large dogs?

That'd be cool.

I've never seen those before.

AFAIK... Ed's still kicking.

[Broken_Hero]

thank you card/gift...then I would pay off all our bills, my mother/father in laws bills, and then my parents bills...I would sell off our current home, and build a yacht similiar to "The Gertrude" and cruise the seas until my final sleep, in Davy Jones's locker...

Who says a song can't change the world!

:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. But the K-Car

Thank Dog. :eyes:

[Hugin]

36. They were very reliable...

You could always rely on them to leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere.

:D

[BarenakedLady]

37. But it was

a nice reliant automobile!

[Oeditpus Rex]

38. That's cruel

x(

[BarenakedLady]

I'd buy your love. :loveya:

[Hugin]

49. .

:thumbsup:

(Aside... The first few times I heard, "I'd buy you lunch." :rofl: )

[Oeditpus Rex]

51. I was wondering

who'd run out of lyrics first. :rofl:



:loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

52. Oh I could go on forever...

Well until the end of the song anyway...:rofl:

Would it take $100,000,000 to buy your love?

[Oeditpus Rex]

53. Nah

I'm cheap.




$25,000 should cover it.

[BarenakedLady]

58. Ack

Alas, I'm broke. :cry:

[Oeditpus Rex]

60. 'S'okay

So am I.

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

[Oeditpus Rex]

[xchrom]

21. move to paris.

[graywarrior]

22. Help some hard working, honest people get ahead and start their business.

Donate some to AMC in NH, donate to Sierra Club, Green Peace, ACORN, and Habitat for Humanity. Give some to New Orleans. Donate to whoever to get George Bush impeached.

Buy a Nikon D80, hit the road in a nice new pickup truck, take pics all over the continent, go t every Bob Dylan concert on the planet, buy Lukas Rossi, make my sister-in-law beg for money.

[Midlodemocrat]

24. Start a foundation. Seriously. It's my dream.

[RedStateShame]

29. Pay my college loans. In 1 dollar bills. With obscenities written on each one.

After that, I dunno.

[LynneSin]

50. You could hire George Clooney to write the obscenties on your bills

or the hottie of your choice!

[philosophie_en_rose]

30. A hundred million dollars? I'd faint. Then cash the check.

I'd do a few things:

1) retire my mother. She should never work again in her life.
2) bring my grandmother to the United States to live with my mother.
3) start a microloan foundation in SE Asia and in the US.
4) invest the rest, so as to fund the other activities with the interest.

[RetroLounge]

32. Take you shopping...

:9

[Deep13]

[billyskank]

57. Not England?

:cry:

[miss_american_pie]

59. England comes later

what do you think I need the fancy underthings for? ;)

[billyskank]

63. Oh

for taking off...? :D


I know, I know :spank:

[miss_american_pie]

66. No, dear

First the spanking, then the undressing. :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

67. Of course

how silly of me. :silly:

[BarenakedLady]

64. HA!

I already bought the fancy underthings, so I'd beat you there. :P

[miss_american_pie]

68. I doubt he'd complain

If we had to share him. :P

[BarenakedLady]

71. Ok

But can we still pudding wrestle? Because I was really looking forward to that. ;)

[Guava Jelly]

84. I want front row seats for that

A miss_pie & bnl pudding match.
Billyskank has all the luck

[billyskank]

88. I wanna wrestle the winner

or the loser. I don't mind which. I can't really lose. :D

[Guava Jelly]

90. Heck I don't think there is a loser in the bunch

Win you win lose you win.

[LSK]

54. buy a car and save the rest

Find a nice rate and let it grow for a few years. 100k is close to paying off the house but not quite.

Oh and I would max out the Roth IRA amount for this year and then next month for next year.

[Sequoia]

55. Buy a new car for starters.

Mine's ready to...well, don't want to jinx it.

[Mz Pip]

56. After all the thank yous

I'd pay off my son's law school loans.

I'd re-do my kitchen and hire a cook.

61. What...Ever...You...Wanted...

[mondo joe]

62. Set aside a portion for my own peronal use, put the bulk of it into

a foundation with a focus on equal civil rights, and contribute to some choice political campaigns.

[BreweryYardRat]

65. Put it toward some land out in Washington or Oregon.

[Dastard Stepchild]

73. Oh the list....

I am reading this correctly as $100,000,000, yes? Then....


1. Get rid of oppressive student loans.
2. Give amply to loved ones to take care of various financial woes and/or obligations.
3. Buy a house.
4. Have a child!
5. Give hearty lump sums to a few choice animal and human rights organizations.
6. Finish my Ph.D, but then have the freedom to use my skills anywhere - maybe extremely low cost consulting work for good human service agencies that would not otherwise be able to afford it.
7. Vacations. Many, many vacations.


Mostly the money would be my cushion to allow me to do all the nonprofitable things that I love, such as volunteering, starting little nonprofits and spending time with loved ones.

edited for spelling.

[texas1928]

74. Pay off all my bills...

Pay off all my parents and in-laws' bills.

Buy my parents a new house, and give them both a nice retirement sum.

Buy myself a house, nothing fancy just a nice house.

Remodel said houses to be energy efficient.

probably buy my ranch I have always wanted, and some horses.

give some to charity, and put the rest in savings to live off the interest the rest of my life. I am not a fancy person, and do not need a whole lot, or want a whole lot. I would make what I save to work for me. And live comfortable. I do not need fancy trips and cars. I just want a modest life, where I do not have to worry about money.

[otherlander]

75. I would

illegally cross the border into Mexico and become known as Red Nal Rehto.

[NNadir]

76. Invest the entire thing.

It sounds dull, I know, but the income generated could do a lot of positive things.

[Zavulon]

78. Move

I'd already be out of the U.S. if I could afford to move elsewhere.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

80. After fixing up the house and paying off bills,

I'd put some of it in the bank, to pass along to my kids after I'm gone.

Then I'd like to create a project for under-educated parents that would pay them an annual salary to attend school (elementary through college or tech training) along with their kids, and offer low-cost housing until they were able to settle into a good job. Facilities could be maintained by those receiving training as plumbers, carpenters, electricians, etc. And those who continued toward higher levels of education could give back to the system by returning as teachers, health care workers, and so forth.

Kind of a skeletal dream, I know; but I'd like to do someting along those lines...

[ThomCat]

81. Invest it is a lot of very safe places

to generate income perpetually, and spend the rest of my life giving out that income to deserving campaigns, charities and causes.
:)

[crim son]

82. As promised to Ms. Pie and others

I'd fund a DU get together... naughty girls invited plus anybody else who wants to join us. Next, I'd build and fund a women's shelter here in town, and improve the local homeless shelter, which is constantly running out of food, supplies and beds. Beyond that, I don't know. Get my facelift, maybe. :)

[billyskank]

83. Don't you dare

do anything to your face.

[crim son]

85. Here's the thing, billyskank.

I'm soon to be out there, on the market, looking. And while I look fine for my age, I want to look like I did when I was twenty-three. That way, I could have you! At least for a week or so. :loveya:

[billyskank]

87. ...

You don't need to change anything to have me. :hug:

[crim son]

91. haHA!

:hug:

[Redstone]

89. Give it all away. Being rich turns people into assholes.

Redstone

[LeftyMom]

92. I'd get a house and a car and stuff, nothing extravagant. I'd spoil a few people. I'd donate a lot.

:)

[sarge43]

93. After giving Uncle Sugie his pound of flesh

1. Pay off all debts.

2. Endow nephews, nieces and Goddaughter, then Nature Conservancy and Cornell University.

3. Fix up this house and sell it.

4. Build my dream house on a few acres.

5. Might do some traveling. Spend a year in Britain, New Zealand, maybe India.

[usaftmo]

94. Stay single!

Getting married is a sure way for that money to vanish fast. Got divorced 6 years ago, and still paying for it :-(

[conscious evolution]

95. Another Summer of Love

I would bankroll another Summer of Love.
I live in Atlanta and I would rent Piedmont Park for the summer and have bands every night.Any and all types of music.As long as it was from the left.Ted Nugent need not apply.
I would also invite people to speak.But not ann coulter.

Then I would sit back and see what happens.

[coffeenap]

96. Well, I have this idea to turn storage unit buildings into housing

for single or paired homeless people. With simple changes, the addition of bathrooms and kitchens, the units would be safe, secure, private, and cheap. How 'bout that? I could buy a lot of buildings and the political clout for zoning!

[TexasLady]

97. Id get out of this singlewide,

Buy homes for my son and his wife, for my single mom sister, and one for my brother, id buy a memorial for my other brother, and make sure all my kids were set for college.

I dooo like to think about it!

[MichiganVote]

98. Flaunt it baby, flaunt it...to all the relatives who wrote me off years ago

[Radical Activist]

99. Start a non-profit org. Run for Congress.

Buy a Tesla.



Party with the rich and famous.

[bertha katzenengel]

100. Set up Mrs. V.'s family, my family, create a retirement fund, and give the rest away.

That's all that needs to be done.

[AwakeAtLast]

102. Well, DU would make out like a bandit

Then of course I would give you your thank you, then - hmmmm....

College for my child and money for my hubby so he can open his own business.

Maybe quit my job, but then do it again on voluntary basis. See, I teach Music, but I don't have enough of me to go around (800 students) so when I quit, I go volunteer with the new teacher. We collaborate and have a lot of fun!!! And I don't leave with a headache every day. Everybody wins and we have a kick-ass choir. We get invited to sing at the inauguration ball by the new Dem President! :) Ahhh, dreams.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

103. Convert it into cash and roll around in it like Scrooge McDuck.

Actually, I'd fix up my house, buy an airplane, stash away enough for a decent retirement, and give all the rest to charity.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

104. Start tuition-free schools in major cities that

emphasize the arts, good literature, history, geography, science, foreign languages, cooperation, and community service.

It would be my way of combatting the dumbing down of America.

[northzax]

109. start a non-profit foundation

dedicated to teaching DUers the difference between a million and a hundred million. L)

[QMPMom]

110. Be eternally grateful to you and then I'd pay all our overdue bills.

Then I'd buy my kids everything they ever wanted for Christmas.

[Mythsaje]

112. Start a special foundation

to give people a chance to live their dreams, especially folks that have made a wrong turn in life and need a second chance. I'd hire someone I trusted to run this foundation and go on to the next project.

I'd also buy up as many old apartment buildings as I could, totally renovate them, and turn them into condos for the homeless. Apartments they OWNED and couldn't be booted out of. I'd buy a big parcel of land somewhere and have MORE homes built and give those homes away, for those who want a more rural lifestyle. Then I'd buy a fleet of hybrid or electric vehicles for the people in that community to share.

Then I'd invest in an employment agency to put all these people to work, or pay for college tuition for those interested in going.

For all intents and purposes, I'd adopt several hundred people and give them all the help I could. I'd find someone to run THAT end of things and move on to my next task as well.

Then I'd spend the next five years traveling the world and writing novels set in exotic locales.
