Utopia Talk / General Talk / What would you do if...

Cherub Cow Member	Tue May 17 00:46:51 Okay! So you have about a million dollars in your bank account, but! Some limitations: For whatever reason, you can't use it to.. - make investments or pay debts - start or fund a charity - start a company/business just to make more money - travel for the sake of travel/tourism - buy material goods just to have things (so no miscellaneous consumerism like home purchases/mortgages or funding your crazy-person survivalist stockpiling impulses) - fund pointless leisure, hedonism, or simulation activities (so no yacht in Monaco, no Vegas vacation, no jet-skiing in your local lake, no gaming until your eyes bleed, etc.) - send children or friends to school or whatever (it is for *your* individual, creative benefit, though certainly you can invite people into your process) So basically, you have money to fund some *creative* endeavor for some creative impulse. You don't have to spend the money for the creative act itself (it can just be to pay rent while you glue cats to your ceiling), and you can break rules but with creative twists, for example: Yes!: Buying ten cats, costumes for the cats, and production equipment in order to make a cat version of Bram Stoker's Dracula. No!: Buying a supercomputer so you can "creatively" make more money by hacking stock market algorithms. TLDR: If you had monies to fund your creative passions, where would to be your passions plz?

Ubes JAC Wildebeest	Tue May 17 01:16:33 I'd make America great again.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue May 17 08:39:55 that's a lot of limitations! how about moving to a new home and using as an animal sanctuary like that sloth lady still the dream: http://images.memes.com/meme/395111

Cherub Cow Member	Tue May 17 12:18:47 "that's a lot of limitations!" Was trying to avoid the Office Space "do absolutely nothing" situation or the "life of leisure" stuff :p ..like, if you've already seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion or C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.. what's next? :D So easy to waste an entire life! I'm leaning towards finishing outlines for that post-apocalyptic raccoon story and then making it into an animated/marionette version :D If I hurry I can get Bruce Willis to do the voice of Mikey ;p
Hood Member	Tue May 17 20:00:01 Create the Pillow and Blanket Fort Museum Fund the Community movie (they got to season 6, right?) if I had a hell of a lot more than 1 mil, (like, a HELL of a lot), I'd build an actual space ship and captain it. I'd direct a Fallout video game (old school version, none of this fps stuff). I'd follow through with my Perry Otter parody (harry potter, duh). Not that writing such a thing would cost $$$, but defending from Succubus Rowling's eventual lawsuit would probably cost a lot. That's all I got for now.
Cthulhu Tentacle Rapist	Wed May 18 00:24:13 I would build a small version of the forest of the impaled using live cats
earthpig GTFO HOer	Wed May 18 02:14:26 "So basically, you have money to fund some *creative* endeavor for some creative impulse." Give it all to the spousal unit. She is in charge of the Department of Creativity.
Cthulhu Tentacle Rapist	Wed May 18 10:26:15 You must be an IT guy or something
Cherub Cow Member	Wed May 18 14:05:23 "Give it all to the spousal unit." That breaks the last rule! ;p .. "but defending from Succubus Rowling's eventual lawsuit would probably cost a lot." oo that's an idea! Unauthorized productions of movies would be fun. Like remake Episodes 1-3 without any Disney/Lucas permission :D
hood Member	Wed May 18 14:09:16 Well see, Perry Otter would be parody. Which is completely acceptable. But Rowling is a litigious douchenozzle, so she'd likely sue even though parody is completely allowed. Remaking without permission would just end up with Disney literally owning your butthole.
Cherub Cow Member	Wed May 18 15:21:04 I wouldn't even care! :p I'd release all of the fixed movies and disappear to Canada — sue this Canadian polar bear, Disney! ;D

hood Member	Thu May 19 09:18:58 Daemon is a claptrap / Brain amalgamation?
Cthulhu Tentacle Rapist	Thu May 26 17:31:21 I dont know about that. Have you ever seen him perform amazing dubstep?
Hood Member	Fri May 27 21:26:07 I assume that's where Brain's social awkwardness comes in.
Hood Member	Fri May 27 21:26:34 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OEsMEu_y4Y example.
chuck Member	Fri May 27 22:30:36 Oh man, I have a few! - Build an entirely automated, retro-futuristic novelty bar. I've done some robotics programming before and it was a lot of fun. I've done some drinking before and it was also a lot of fun. I am so serious about this one though. I'm sure one already exists but who cares, the world is big enough for two. - I'm pretty mediocre at building non-computer things. It'd be super cool to go learn enough about the basic trades to build a little bungalow for myself (with help from peeps for the manual labor side because you need that and paperwork side because you need that also and I'm hypothetically rich in this scenario and I have no interest in becoming good at paperwork). - Actually, having the time to get really good at anything would be lovely. I've been playing a good bit of chess (an hour a day?) recently. It'd be cool to get a coach and use the time/money to get good enough to in turn coach ppl for $ once the million dollars runs out. - I would also buy a couch. I don't have a couch right now and while I'm all about the ascetic life style, I do believe my life would be enriched were I to get a couch. No matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. - Go back to school? I squandered college. Chose a "can haz monies" major that wasn't especially interesting (Finance!). Made other very pedestrian life choices about how to spend my time. A non hormone-driven second go at it would be lovely. - Maybe go do science? Science is good. Do people still do science? For the good of mankind! - Just keep doing exactly what I'm doing. YOU CAN'T FOOL ME WITH YOUR SNEAKY GUIDANCE COUNSELOR QUESTIONS!
Cherub Cow Member	Fri May 27 22:47:12 "YOU CAN'T FOOL ME WITH YOUR SNEAKY GUIDANCE COUNSELOR QUESTIONS!" But this is where the healing begins! We've got to get our lives on track! UGT Suicide Pact!! ;D "No matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled." Fight Club ftw! ;D
chuck Member	Fri May 27 23:02:47 Jonestown? That's over. The modern kids are all Mehultown.
Cherub Cow Member	Fri May 27 23:58:48 Suicide Pact at Dominican Joe's!!! ;D
Palem Person.	Sun May 29 15:46:57 I feel like Mehultown would be the kind of place that you draw your job out of a hat The problem with this question is that $1million doesn't go all that far these days. I guess I'd use the money to fund some of my collections.
Hood Member	Sun May 29 18:32:20 Yeah, thats why I creatively interpreted "1 million dollars" to be "enough money to fund whatever stupid shit you come up with for this thread". I.E. it means "REALLY BIG MONIES" rather than "literally $1,000,000.00". I would start a Miss America pageant where the barrier to entry is intelligence, not beauty, but then give the smart girls the same stupid questions and the same judgment criteria as the regular pageants. I'd hire someone to murder JJ Abrams, then pay off the industry to just pretend like it never happened and let me take on his projects.
Hood Member	Sun May 29 18:32:56 Oh, in that last one, I'd blacklist every regular cast member from gossip girl.
Cherub Cow Member	Sun May 29 23:54:57 Hey! Blake Lively has done some good work! :( :p "Yeah, thats why I creatively interpreted "1 million dollars" to be "enough money to fund whatever stupid shit you come up with for this thread". I.E. it means "REALLY BIG MONIES" rather than "literally $1,000,000.00"." That's where I was going with it! I was just trying to keep it semi-sensible so that no one would want to build an Annihilatrix and send the Earth into the Sun ;D
Hood Member	Mon May 30 00:53:30 I was considering adding the cast of The Vampire Diaries to the blacklist too... I'd buy the Washington Redskins, move the headquarters to some unincorporated island. Then I'd rename them, in order, for 3 year periods: the Scalpers, Gangland Riots, and Genocidal Settlers. Then in year 10 I'd name them the Toupees and sell them to Trump. The ironic part is that the team mascot for the first and last names would be the same: a full head of hair, not actually on a head!
Marlboro man Member	Mon May 30 01:04:20 Buy the leaders of every political party in Sweden, have them vote against one another on everything. Popcorn.

McKobb Member	Mon May 30 07:54:31 I thought about making a fallout inspired bar!
McKobb Member	Mon May 30 08:05:47 Make it a gaming bar more like Dave and Busters.
everknight Member	Sat Jun 04 13:17:42 I would take a year off of work and work full time on my novels and hire some amazing artists to draw a children's book idea I have.
marlboro man Member	Sun Jun 05 10:17:25 chuck, chess.com or lichess?
Cthulhu Tentacle Rapist	Sun Jun 05 14:28:52 Well, if we are just treating it as enough to do whatever, I change my answer. I would purchase every WWII naval vessel still left. Then I would commision replicas to be made if that wasn't enough of a fleet. Finally, I would raise an army of mercenaries to assault the beaches of Normandy every year in order to properly celebrate remembrance day and my countries heritage
Hood Member	Sun Jun 05 14:48:53 ^ That is creative.
