Shit you'll never be able to fucking afford.

Metzger Meister

How about a beautiful, 10.5 million dollar piece of land?

We all have dreams. Wishes. Hopes. Most of these revolve around gettin 'em fuckin ducats. Makin' dat paper, y'feel me? Which facilitates material gain in the form of, oh, let's say...




A million dollar sports car with a top speed of 256 miles per hour that burns 12 gallons of fuel in a single minute at said top speed.

Or maybe your tastes are more simple, like the new Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead, with a brushed stainless steel hood (or bonnet), and a fucking teak deck-lid to cover the fucking convertible roof when it's down.




Shit, maybe you just wanna look like James Bond and drive the Aston Martin DB9.



But let's not limit ourselves to autos, without even mentioning Ferrari or Lamborghini! How about a two-thousand dollar suit!? And maybe even the frumpy-looking dude modeling it!?

WHEN YOU'RE RICH THERE IS NO LAWS GOVERNING YOUR EXPENDITURES SAVE YOUR OWN DEPRAVED YEARNINGS.

But that's all fairly pedestrian, you know? I mean, every rich dude has some cool cars in the garage of his amazing house...


Or you could buy a fucking island.


Shit, even rich nerds be gettin in on this wit they 13,000 dollar gaming tables.


So, let's celebrate our dead-souled capitalist excess, yes?

Fo reals; I would live in Manhattan in a heartbeat if I could only afford it.

Also first editions of many many books: unattainably expensive.

If I sold my PS3 to my roomie, I'd be caught up on the rent.

Flying first class. Sure, I could save up the money for it, but by the time I had there'd be about 50 other things I'd need to spend it on more. To fly first class you don't just need the money for the ticket, you gotta have so much cash in the bank that you don't give a fuck about dropping thousands of dollars extra on what amounts to a few hours in a comfortable chair with some nice food.

I would just like to have my credit back.

i'd probably buy a nice apartment and fill it with a lot of cool stuff.

i'd buy a lot of clothes too. and probably pursue a bunch of hobbies.

definitely spend a ton on traveling too.

or maybe i'd fund a lot of movies and stuff and attach my name to everything.

PS3s are just as expensive as a 360 now.

Also Missile Silo.

celandine

Seriously, if I had dough,
city apartment,
lots of books,
opera tickets,
and being able to give my (future) kids a great education.

But in my nuttier moments, I want to learn to climb mountains.

Metzger Meister

Oh man, I forgot about travel. I would travel my balls off if I had the necessary cabbage.

Build me a nice house on about a hundred acres of land outside town, fill it with rad crap, a big fucking 12-car garage filled with toys. Like, adult toys.

Like atvs and shit.

Also; gun room.

Also also; 1940's style library/study/lounge.

Raijin Quickfoot

Super Soldier Serum to inject into my sons so they can fight crime when they are older.

Grim Outlook

it'd be nice wandering around the world on foot. learning about different cultures and stuff and always having the security of money if things get rough.

but then again, just flying around in a bad ass hovercraft would be pretty cool too.

MKR

A nice apartment in a nice city with a nice puppy to share it with.

Oh my gosh, you know I did this once? I had my ticket comped by my General Motors via my dad. It was... it was so nice.

Like, so nice.

And it will never happen again.

Celandine, maybe you and I should pool our resources, because that sounds perfect. I'm learning to climb the mountains in my backyard right now, and I've been to a really real opera at the Met once. Turns out SRO really means you're standing for four hours have a good time.

It's a deal.
What did you see?
I got free raffle tickets to the Magic Flute once. So good.

Lost Salient

I saw Romeo and Juliet back in December of 2007! It was wonderful, even though I hate Romeo and Juliet in general. I've also seen The Magic Flute and Falstaff and Cosi fan Tutte at less fancy opera houses. I love opera; I wish I could see more of them. Did you get to see the Sendak set design of Magic Flute?! It was so cool!

I got a $50 upgrade to Virgin 1st class on a 3 hour flight last year. But Virgin doesn't really count.

Grim Outlook

i'd give tons of money to research finding cures for major diseases.

then they'd have to give me some of the credit.

i'd also open a real life jurassic park.

A yacht.

A real big yacht, with my own crew.


I see them everytime I go to spain, out on the ocean and I am so god damn jealous.

Metzger Meister

Travel Channel likes to play these shows about super yachts all the time. Like the 500+ foot Dubai.

Yes, Dubai is even sticking its ass into enormous boats.


This one Russian billionaire has MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS on his yacht.

Zzulu

Yeah the russian guy (Roman Abramovich) got a 557-foot ship. It's called Eclipse.

It's insane. Just the thought of owning such a large sea faring vessel makes me all giddy
