Is a threesome really that shit hot?

I should live out some fantasies because that shit is easily doable.

It's kind of...strange, actually. Like if you're really into one of the girls I'm almost gonna say it's not really worth it in most situations. (I mean, sure, some people dig that shit, but you have to be a certain type of person, and I don't think you or I are that type of person.)

If you don't really care all that much about either of the girls though, then it's on like Donkey Kong.

EL, good play on the threesome thing. It's never appealed to me, aside from some wild porn inspired fantasy type thing, with no actual desire to act out.



After getting the tax attorney, I would set up a blind trust so that my name was not public as a winner.

I would set up semi-modest trusts for children, and siblings.

I would pay off all my mortgages.

Rebuild my barn and make some drastic changes to my land use.

Expand one home significantly.

Sell my businesses.

Set a trust for my personal use.

Open one helluva restaurant.

I figure that accounts for about 50-75 mil.

The rest would go into charitable trusts.

I wouldn't want that much money, nor to put that burden on my kids.



I wouldn't have a heart attack like ol' demo, but I would be a little afraid that there'd be pillow being held over my face while my wife made the 911 call.

Lump sum. No way I am going to let the government come back later and change tax laws on me so they get 100% or some other gaudy number. Better to have it spread out elsewhere where I may be able to hide it later.

As far as what to do then, well....

- Some "family" will find out real quick that they will be getting nothing or very, very little. Folks who complained that they didn't have the money for things like food or doctors while taking trips to the beach on the weekend will learn that I don't cotton to uselessness. Everyone has money troubles at times, but when you act like that while I haven't had but two real vacations in ten years because I try to take care of my responsibilities, you get left behind.

-Take care of family. My wife's mother worked too hard over the years to raise two kids after her dad died. We are fighting to raise three kids on one salary so right now we aren't a lot of help to her financially in her later years, so this would let us buy a house and things to make her retirement comfortable. Probably send her on a nice trip to Scotland where she has always wanted to go. My parents still work, but they wouldn't have to after this. My brothers and sister would have their houses paid. There are other younger ones who would get help getting through college or getting their lives started. But, other than our parents, no one would get a free ride.

- Some folks who don't know me will find that an unnamed person has taken care of a dire need for them. I know of a few families with children who are sick who will not have to worry about the bills or where their meals come from until the treatments are over. Same with some folks where the parents are sick or one has died. I don't know these people personally, but I know people who do and can verify their story. Has to be anonymous because even that amount of money can't solve every problem like that nor would I want them to feel like they owed me anything, so I have to stay behind the scenes.

- I would own a couple of houses. After years of working to take care of my family, I do deserve a little recreation place. But nothing too fancy. No million dollar mansions. A house here where my family lives. A condo in Tuscaloosa to go to Alabama games. And one place somewhere else to get away.

- I always wanted to own a gelato shop and bakery. And I want it to have a dog park attached and server gelato and baked goods that dogs could eat also. Imagine masters and their dogs enjoying a day at the dog park with treats for all. My wife loves working with animals so I would have her set up a rescue shelter on site also.

- Some put aside for my kids. Not enough they never have to work, but enough to let them get an education, a house to live in, and start a business with funding for a few years. People ask what I would have if I had to have anything given to me for free, and those are normally it. Tons of stress would be taken off me if I flat out owned my house. Ditto for running my own business with enough funds to last a few years without starving.

- The rest would be put to work helping out the future. Donations to X-Prize type things. Helping fund start-ups. Endowing Scholarships for the hard sciences. Anonymously funding decent folks to run for office (can't have them thinking they owe me once they get there).

since I don't have 26 years left in me I would take the lump sum and do what ever I wanted to do

house

guitars

computers

open a business

charity

oh and hire some hitmen

Restricted trust for the children.
Basically they have to go to school to get everything in the trust.
If they do it'll cover stuff like a house when they marry.
If not it goes to anything but them.
For me, have fun and piss off the establishment.

On a note more toward the thread...

I figure something would go to charity, how much or which ones I really don't know, but probably to some sort of cervical cancer research since a friend, and my mom passed away from it...

And maybe some type of children's charity...

Also, like some have said, take care of my family...

But there have also been a few people in my life that have been extraordinary, going above and beyond for me and my family, in ways that they didn't have to. I feel blessed by what they have done, and am very thankful every day that they are a part of my life, and for that reason they would NOT be forgotten

Honda x .Thanks for the laugh. I enjoyed your reply all the way through.

I am really pleased with the response in this thread. I appreciate the idealism, charity and good sense that you guys are showing.

But I'm not sure I believe it. I've just heard so many stories of lottery winners who freak out, ending up as the family bank, complete drunks who willingly waste their fortune on social acceptance......you name it, they do it. They are human.....and carry the all too dominant stupidity gene.

So I wonder about this. I have my fantasies of what I would do with the big bucks just like all of you. But I am also a realist.

Except in playing this stupid lottery. Yes, I went into the office pool on this. Greed ? Not really ( I would endow a chair at my school, in my preferred discipline). I would do it because I'll be damned if I am the only one left in our office to answer the phone and have no students to teach !

Good luck to me ! And thanks EL ! Great subject.

I'd pay off my student loans, brothers student loans. Give my cousins a free ride to college. Definitely move and buy a house and condos on the gulf coast, Hawaii and lake Como in Italy. A yearly donation to different charities. Definitely hookers, maybe some Page 3 girls, drugs and general chaos for a few weeks.
Purchase tickets for every sporting event, nba playoffs, nfl playoffs, super bowl, Stanley Cup playoffs, world cup, eufa cup, champions league, olympics summer and winter, go check out rugby in Australia. Also I would see about flying in space.
How many people would stop working? I'd go back to a job I enjoyed the most. Say pay me nothing, I just want to work. I enjoy my current job and without money issues it would be perfect.

"2 chicks!"

I would buy a chicken the grocery store charges $1.99 for a dozen eggs thats bullshit!

Don't forget about taxes, taken out before you ever see that $$! So your annual take on the lump sum would probably only come to ~ $12.5 million. Anyway, I'll take the lump sum (too old to wait 26 years!), put 10% away for charitable gifts, then wait to see if any classy babes, who always avoided me in the past , would come knocking on my door! By the way, I always loved that Scrooge McDuck pool; great reference!

I would buy Olivia Wilde!!! Oh, and a island for her to frolic on. Oh, and a boat to get to said island. Oh, one last thing, a plane to get to the boat. Damn, forgot the house on the island. Shit, I'm pretty much broke at this point. Well, that was fun.

Ive always said that me winning the lotto would be like 30 people winning, I've a big family, many cousins, and a lot of friends. And I would just organise a big party, free bar, free food, invite them all. Get drunk and party. Then, at the end, present everyone with a cheque for various amounts. Just enough to see them get a decent deposit on a house etc.

As for the parents, I'd get them to work for me, managing my property empire, because I'd just buy loads of cheap buy-to-let houses and rent them out.

Then , I'd buy a big ass house in a nice area of town, an apartment in London, an apartment in Newcastle (for Newcastle united Home games), and a place somewhere hot. Then just live my life like a highlight reel. Enjoy it while I'm here.

It's amazing how much thought some of you have put into it. Makes me feel so unimaginative. Might have to hire some of you for advice once i win! Honda, your post was hysterical. Interested to see what some of the women of wbw would do if they won

It may sound stupid to some but my only desire has been yo be a farmer so I would buy my farm outright and my equiptment and some animals and i would live the rest of my life on my farm happy and content i would have no need for fancy caers or other things like that just a simple life with the occasional big badass PARTY

The first thing I would do is, buy a new pair of pants.












Because I would shit the ones I was wearing!!!!
