I'd buy FM, fire everyone, and start a porn site.

(First thought that came to mind. A bit impulsive eh?)

Maybe I'd do like Wake .. buy a Martin D-35, a couple D-3512's, one for each day as well, but I'd buy 365 of 'em .. thereby bypassing any math and lunar problems.

I'd hire a few guitar gals too, to change the strings (G-strings) and fetch me Margaritas and Cubanos while I lounge on the beach. Wouldn't spend a dime on their clothes .. they wouldn't need 'em.

(My parents and kids would never find me!)

PostDribble: On Windy's suggestion, I'd also buy a .357 to shoot open coconuts for drinks. Pina Coladas anyone?

Just can't do manual labor eh?

First thing I would buy would be lots of socks. Then I would buy umm.....well......I guess......have unspecified surgeries. Ummmm...A different computer for my new house. Largest monitor available. Hmmm....what else....*thinking*

I would have a huge weekend party with all my close friends. Free lodging, food and plenty of fun activities to do.

Okay, I know most of you, excluding Wakey and Da Bff, have said that you'd do sumptin like pay bills and/or set up trust funds for the offspring and grandoffspring... but really now.

What if the bills were not a concern, and your progeny were already cared for? Be self-centered for a minute and let your imagination run wild, OKAY???

All right... I still wouldn't spend too much on clothes, because that's just not my thing, and I'm fairly simple in my clothing tastes. I do love a good haircut, though, so I might hire my own personal stylist. Hell, I might invest a chunk in a friggin spa. LOL

I'm thinkin for a cool mill, I could also get a few new cars... No. 1, that Grand National I've been drooling about for the longest now... and a beautiful black Caddy STS caught my eye a few days ago, and I could see myself sporting around in that... I think an Escalade would round out the collection quite nicely.

Wouldn't mind having a state-of-the-art HDTV entertainment system, too, and a computer with the big screen monitor, and someone to dust all of it off for me.

Hmmmmmmm... upon further consideration, I think I'd better win TWO million instead of one.

'Tis fun to think about the possibilities, eh?

I'd have the concrete block out-building in our back yard taken away and have our back yard landscaped--something my husband has promised without $1m. I'd hire out everything Len has promised he'll do over the last 20 years, like replacing tile that was damaged during the last earthquake and finishing the fireplace surrounds.

I'd have the floors refinished and house re-painted inside and out.

Then I'd throw away all of the junk mail that's attendent with a large lottery win.

In other words, my life wouldn't change much.

I would travel. With a million dollars I would travel to all the wonderful places I have on my list. Yes I have a list. Before I leave this Earth, this is something I would love to do.

Buy 10,000 shares of Walmart stock. Then get one of those hair implants to replace the hair that's fallen out over the last 20 years. Get a massage every other day. Take week long fake business trips to Denmark and Sweden so I could have affairs with strange tall attractive women who don't speak English ....oh, and without my wife finding out.

Buy a big new black Mercedes sedan, one with tinted windows so people would think I was in the mafia and maybe then they wouldn't open their doors in parking lots and scratch the paint on my vehicle's door. I'd never cook or go grocery shopping again, and I'd always eat out at fancy restaurants where they serve food with words in front of the entree' like "sauteed, savory, delectable", etc. instead of the usual "chicken fried" with gravy or "on a bed" of rice or pasta. If there's anything I hate, it's food on top of, in , or under a bed.

I would NOT go to Mexico because you can get kidnapped and held for ransom down there, and well, knowing my wife, if she had a million dollars back in the states, she'd probably just let me rot in some abandoned Tiajuana warehouse forever. I'd also buy three or four more dogs and hire some illegal alien from Mexico to go round picking up dog poop for like minimum wage probably. I mean, how much is a doggy poop picker upper worth anyway? Like I keep telling my wife, "There's no skill involved in it, so why do I always have to do it for crying out loud?"

"Because in general, men are better at picking up poop than women on account of they have bigger hands," she always says.

"Bigger hands??? Weight is not the problem!" I keep telling her.
