If you won the lottery.......

Postby bste_lax on Mon Feb 28, 2005 10:45 pm

What random thing would you buy that you always wanted? I am looking for odd things, not your basic new car or new lacrosse gear.

For me, I have always wanted to buy a 1969 Dodge Charger and paint it up General Lee style. Have no clue really, have always had a strange Dukes Of Hazzard fetish. Apparently I had Dukes of Hazzard sheets when I was like 4 or 5 but I don't remember having them, but my mom says I did.

I would do two chicks at one time. (hahaha nice Office Space quote tlaing1)


for real though, i have thought about this: I would invest it into government bonds and then run for office so that I can effectively put them to good use. And if all that fails... I will buy myself car and new lax gear. Perhaps even build the AGGIES an indoor lacrosse facility.

Open a good pizza place in Provo, UT and College Station, TX. After going to school in both places, I'm amazed there isn't a good pizza place in either town.

Actually when we were down in college station a few years ago, we stumbled into a prety good pizza place. I think it was called Gumby's.

best pizza place in College Station used to be Emilio's Leaning Tower Pizza, but they closed sometime in the early 90s. I used to love Gumby's in college, and found one in Austin, but having gone back there now I'd say my taste in pizza has changed drastically since college.

I liked Gumby's in college, but the best thing they had were Pokey Sticks. SOOO much better than the pizza! Best food for when you return from a hard night at the bars. Makes me hungry right now...

Definately not a guy on the atkins diet...I love Pokey Sticks but they're basically a heartattack in a pizza box.

If I won 350 million, I would buy an old 727, convert it into a private jet, and go wherever I feel like going on a particular day, oh and I'd try to buy a large amount of stock in Playboy magazine so I could be Hugh Hefner's heir apparant. :lol:

To start, I'd pay to have AC/DC play one more show before they 'officially' stop touring (opening acts: the Stones, Boston and Journey.) At somewhere enormous, like the Rose Bowl or the Big House. Then, pay my way into getting Badgers and Packers season tickets (I'm 14,477 on the waiting list for the Pack as of last year,) and finally I'd invest the what I don't give to the family and spend the rest of my life skiing across the country.

What would I do if i were rich? Buy a sock and or towel factory. First off, they are only going to make profit, being that everyone needs socks and towels no matter who you are. Secondly, and more importantly, there is nothing better than the feeling of putting on new socks or using a brand new towel. I have a funny feeling I would be able to sneak a few off the line if I owned the place.
