What should I spend it on? →[More:]My girlfriend drunkenly bet me the other night that the intro to "Lidsville" (with the guy falling into the hat) was the opening to "H.R. Pufnstuf".

Now she owes me "a million, billion, trillion, brazillian dollars". So, what should I buy?

Brazil, obviously

From the mention of brazilian it sounds like she wants you to buy a bikini wax.

I think you should buy a large villa in the south of France and have us all over for a week-long picnic.

And shoes, you should buy shoes.

Also, no one gave me flannel jammies for my birthday like I asked, so you could get me some of those.

Also, I feel strangely compelled to mention that I gave myself a Brazilian wax a couple days ago. It was an interesting experience.

You gave YOURSELF a Brazillian, Specklet? Owww, owww, owwww. I neeeever want to wax my bikini area, EVER, and if I do- I'll go to a professional. How did it turn out?

You do realize that now everyone is thinking about your area, Specklet.

Yeah! What about my question?

posted by interrobang 07 December | 19:28

Sorry. I really am sorry.

But you guys know that I'm a) a little self-involved and b) a little more than a little flirty.

It took a long time, but it turned out, um, great! (I've done my bikini area plenty of times. I like going to a professional, but I'm too broke to justify the expense.) So I bought new panties yesterday to celebrate my kootchie's new look. It's very... tidy.

Specklet: *roflsnarflebarg!!* Oh, and "Ow."

Interrobang: erm, you could send some of it to me. It turns out I get paid next friday, not this friday. I'm fucked.

And/or buy me an electric bike kit so I don't have to bus to work for 2+ hours every day.

Okay, I'll buy the French villa, and I'll send loquacious a million of the million, billion, trillion, brazillian dollars.

...hmm.

Still a lot left over, it seems.

WOOO HOO!

*Quits work, makes art*

Hey... what the hell is this? Monopoly money?

*shrugs, buys Park Place, moves into tiny red plastic hotel by wearing it as a hat*

posted by loquacious 07 December | 19:54

Heh. This is evil, but...

Y'know what would make me laugh really hard? Seeing a homeless person camped out on a cardboard mat colored to look like the Park Place square on a monopoly board. I'd so do that.

Buy a cruise ship. We can have a year-round moving Mecha party in international waters.

That would be awesome. Then we could apply for religion status, and I could emulate the drunken abusive L. Ron archetype.

Buy us all little MeCha underpants, to show off our various states of bikini waxiness!

Well, he ain't pretty no more.

i'm with specklet and leejay, but make it one of those luxury jets. We can all just travel the world, having meetups and collecting people on the way. : >

I'm thinking space station right now.

I volunteer to be your emissary in the entertainment industry. You will use your enormous wealth and clout to secure me a series of well-recieved and profitable film roles which propel me into the stratosphere of celebrity and allow me to carry on several high-profile affairs with other attractive celebrities and in return I will spread the word about your new religion to my co-stars and colleagues. I will obtain large donations from them, thereby increasing your wealth and power and providing you with an army of brainwashed minions who will do your bidding. I feel that this would be a mutually beneficial arrangement for the both of us.

At least until I go nuts, fire my publicist, impregnate a clueless young ingenue and destroy my reputation as a dependable (if ambiguously gay) superstar. But by that time you'll be long-dead so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Long live Interrology!

The Brazilian.

Capn: You fool! If he buys Brazil with that many Brazilian dollars, he'll devalue the currency throwing the entire country into a horrible recession! Better to buy a country no one suspects, like Andorra. Ah, Andorra; prime location for a mountain fortress from whence to launch my plans of European conquest.

All right, I'm going with the space station (for all of us--sorry, your family is not invited, only registered users), a million Monopoly dollars for loq, and the fleet of tax-evading ships in the Mediterranean.

I will accept a much smaller sum of legally negotiable tender and a membership in your cult. I can only buy every property on the board so many times until I start chewing on the pieces like so much brightly colored hurt-candy.
