Amen to that. If you didn't have to worry about bills and money, adulthood would be pretty dang cool. Still, all and all, I would rather go back to kindergarten.

Even if I were a billionaire, and could live off the interest in bank accounts/etc alone, I'd still want to own some sort of business, and yeah, I'd work there once in a while, just for SOMETHING to make me actually earn my keep in society.

This.
I've always said that if I won the lottery and squared everything away financially and could live off the winnings, I'd open a bistro.

I've love me a sports bar.

And yes, college hockey would be featured every weekend.

I think I'll play a drinking game tonight. It's called "Just *ing Drink". It's pretty simple. One rule: JUST *ING DRINK.

(Ok, so I'll probably only have one drink, but it feels good.)

Sounds like a good time.

I don't mind the job thing. Gives me something to do. I like to actually earn my money. Yeah, I'm weird like that.

The bills thing kinda sucks, though.

This. I hate feeling like a mooch.

And if you did, know I'd be there every day, ordering various sandwiches and drinking coffee.

Evening, Lodge.

I'd buy an abandoned airfield and turn it into a giant Top Gear style garage/testing facility. I'd hold giant dance parties in the leftover hangars on the weekends.

Alternatively, I'd make my house into an exact replica of the Facility level from Goldeneye, because I am an enormous nerd.

If I was a Billionaire, I would go about building Grand Valley a very nice ice Arena very near campus, and I would drive the Zamboni at the games. Visiting smoking hots would get to have rides during the intermissions.

I'd like to have a giant house, with one room each dedicated to a decade from the 1900's. Everything down to the last detail. I think that'd be kinda cool.

Free glowsticks for all attendees?

Hell, I'd run your house if I won the lotto.

I'd pay off all my debts, and help my family out on theirs. Then, I'd take back off to France for a year. When I returned, I'd find a job at a coffeeshop and enjoy life.

I'm sure I could find some jobs for friends of mine.

Rock Doc can do landscaping, you could be on room detail for my Rooms Of The Decades, I could hire Scarlet to be my PR person, etc.

Edit: and I'd have a couple other normal houses that I'd charge $100/mo rent that friends could live in. I don't believe in total charity in cases like that. Gotta pay something.

Yeah, sounds like it, but, well, let's put it this way: if I told my boss that I was having a glass of wine from a new bottle, he'd accuse me of just drinking grape juice, then tell me to have someone else open it as I'd probably destroy the cork (even though the person he'd recommend had never used a corkscrew), and then, if there were any flaws in the glass or the wine, they'd all be my fault.

Adulthood, work, it all *ing sucks.

I consider that to be part of arranging the finances. (I'd set aside money for my bro to go to college with and to help my sister go to grad school.)

I'd like to think we'd all do that sort of thing, hence no one really mentioning it.

How about buying out a nationally televised NFL (or hockey) game, and just you and maybe 5-6 friends show up. Just to see how the network handles it.

But of course...

(Like the music, but the rave culture is a little too whackadoo for me and most of its followers are way too young to be dealing with that ****, if at all. It'd probably be a 21 and over party only.)

On second thought, I'd open a place like this in the Twin Cities. Absolutely amazing and a ton of fun - it has a 10? story slide among other things.

and changing the subject, could I get a refill? same clown that didn't appreciate GLM's humor didn't appreciate mine either

Who would buy a yacht and hire yours truly to Captain it? Clearly one of you would like to cruise the Caribbean.

And, I'm in the same camp as Twitch. Love the music, even been to a few shows last fall, but the whole scene has 'Meh' written all over it.

One of my coworkers does some DJing on the side - he spins at Beta and The Church in Denver and does some independent and label shows as well. I went to one of his shows - nothing but 16-year-olds wearing WAY too little running around doing who knows what. Show was a dry show, but you know they got drugs in somehow.

Like I said, I love the music, but most of the culture is just over the line for me. I just want to go and enjoy the atmosphere and music, not have some high schooler trying to get me high so he can spin a bunch of lights in my face. Now get off my lawn, you whippersnappers

How about we buy a decommissioned ore boat, install rinks and a Margarita! bar, and cruise the Great Lakes in search of hockey games?
