I'd buy a lot of land and a shit load of tanks, invite all my friends over, and then race them.
If I won a life altering sum of money, an M60 and a grip of hookers would likely be in my future.
Let's play a game. Say I just won ridiculous money in the lottery-like 2 or 300 million. There is tons of stuff I would do (like an all day gun bender followed by an all night bourbon and steak bender for the whole forum) Highly unlikely, since one would have to play and it is rare indeed that I do, but for conversation sake, I now have more money than I could really spend.
Here's some things:
I would not invest, deposit in interest bearing accts, etc. In other words, I will have no income whatsoever. I would live on the cash. Reason? So I can send a 1040EZ to the IRS with a big F**K YOU written all over it every year. If I did nothing else, this would be the one thing I did.
Many family members and friends would have no mortgages. I would buy the note, foreclose for a dollar and take the loss-another big FU to the IRS. (accountants feel free to weigh in on this...)
I would sue the state and fed government for the sheer effing sport of it. FOIA requests, firearms laws, etc. I would know who killed Kennedy and I'd have it on CNN.
I would have several professional friends, I'm sure. I am not a blue-blood, likely wouldn't like blue-bloods-so the people I would hang out with are the people I currently hang out with. They have jobs... so we'll give them new ones.
I would own every inch of property that I can see from my house-this is easy-it's all woods.
I would, of course, need a full-time FFL for about 2 years. Every effin' gun I've ever drooled over would be mine. This would also entail building an armory to house them. And yes, it will have a moat and drawbridge. With siege machines. And knights. And a dragon. 'Murica! F yeah! More like medieval England, but you get the picture.
It should go without saying that my local FD/EMS would want for very little for quite a while, but I'm saying it anyway. Effin' Christmas time boys.
I would have to do something for vets and the military. Some sort of foundation 'a la Wounded Warrior or something. A concert from hell for those deployed...with boobs-lots of boobs.
Oh, and the illegal crap...that's a post I'll keep to myself. But rest assured, some MFers out there would suffer...dearly. That is a very, very, very, dark side that no one should ever experience.
What sayeth the forum? Who's in?
Unfortunately,many of your plans would be foiled by .gov. You would not be able to cash the check without putting it into an account of some sort (over 10K), at least in this country. Giving any amount over the gift tax limit (I think it's 14k) would have tax consequences. Your name and address will be published, so you will have beggars and thieves at your door. Plus, statistically, you will find a way to destroy your life and end up dead. Other than that, good luck.
