After reading all that, mine seems modest. Back in the day, when I wore a dress shirt and tie every day, I always thought I would like to wear a brand new shirt every day. Just liked the way they felt and fit over one that had been washed .

Not too eccentric but I'd like a huge workshop with everything from basic hand tools to cnc mills and lathes. The capability to fix or create anything my imagination can come up with would be my dream.

  • Glass house on a lake, with huge underground complex (think Cheyenne Mountain Complex).
  • Space exploration, maybe just tourism, cause exploration sounds too much like work.
  • Fully crewed yacht capable of circumnavigation.
  • SR-71 Blackbird.
  • X-15 converted for VTOL.
  • Lots of toys with giggle switches.
  • MCB Quantico and lots of artillery and ordnance.
  • Abrams, Black Hawks, and assortment of other fun military toys.
  • Couple of high end exotic cars


I would spend to majority of my time (until I got bored) visiting all of the best and most exclusive resorts and restaurants. Where I would have people removed from the property that annoy me. Between lavish trips I would visit space and blow shit up. When I needed a break I would just come home and watch loony tunes and cat videos in the full sized theater below my glass lake house. All other free time will be spent on charity.

You want a Harley Davidson? Simple, drink this gallon of urine in front of your family.

You want a new Jeep? Admit publicly your most shaming secrets. To the crowd I mean. I will judge if what you have admitted to is worth your precious Jeep.

I would also purchase the local Christian tv station and host a show where people would call in and talk about their fellow citizens, neighbors, family, etc. I would offer a tier of rewards based upon the informations potential for shame, and obviously truth.

To that end and my own personal safety I would hire an army of veterans to protect me and investigate things.

That's a nice truck, isn't it? Yes, a nice "rig" indeed. How badly do you want it? This "rig"? What would you be willing to do or tell me to have it?

I would blast Born In The USA and Uptown Girl while doing these things. I would hire Fred Durst to emcee, which the people would love and be excited about, then have one of my soldiers beat him to death in front of the onlookers. There would be huge concert sized monitors showing people's homemade sex tapes, disgusting public behavior, etc during "Family Fun Fest." I may also hire agents to have people degrade themselves in a studio for prizes or cash as well. With the understanding that "no one would EVER see the video". Then obviously show the video to the crowd. Not all of them, though. So there will still be ambiguity about whether or not I will show it publicly.

Who would be willing to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mr. Durst's corpse while his Magnum Opus "I Did It All For The Nookie" is played in tribute? You sir?


You sir are a weird individual.

I was thinking he should print out his post and take it to a good shrink and have a long, long talk about it.

six foot high wall around house filled with concrete and rebar with strategic ports and gates.

2,000 - 2,500 sqft home with established roses (thorny kind) all around. Nice basement for theater and well protected.

A reloading room with requisite armory in the house.

Outside wall of the house made from cinder block filled with rebar and concrete (similar to outside walls). Drywall with plumbing and electrical fabricated inside said wall.

5-car garage with two or three daily drivers, one in restoration/build, and one for the weekend racer/mountain carver. Construction akin to house's walls (just in case I am out there and protection is required)

One of mine would be an early 70's Porsche 911S, manual shift, manual brakes, no power steering and trailing throttle oversteer, the whole kit and kaboodle.

Because a light weight sports car with a curb weight of 2200 lbs and 180 hp out back is just plain fun to drive. As for the trailing throttle oversteer, you brake to the apex and roll on the throttle and it isn't a problem.


I've stopped counting.

I'd buy the biggest piece of land near Glacier Park, MT I could find. Preferably surrounded by US Forrest land. I'd drive AWD Porsche 911's and would have a few all original 1965 Chevy C10 pickups. I might build a full rally racing course on the property with various paved/gravel/dirt sections. I'll think of some more eccentric things in a bit...

Dillon mini-guns. Everywhere around the casa.

I'd have several technicals built with Dillon Mini-guns in the back. I'd drive them to the store when I need bread and milk.

Oh, and I'd hire two guys to drive another technical to the store behind me. They would guard my technical while I was inside.

Maybe white Toyota trucks....

unlimited eh?

well, I'd buy 10,000 acres with a villa in the Tuscany region of Italy

I'd pick up 10,000 acres of mountain property in southern Arizona (for astronomy)

for transportation I'd pick up a King Air 350 and I'd get two CF-5 fighters with 30,000 hours worth of spares. And for a lot of fun I'd like to get an old F117 and of course the spares.

Also set up a foundation to provide university scholarships to really smart kids and also set up a fun to pay for medical expenses for those that really need them. And to help out, Id buy a 400 bed hospital, double the salaries of the permanent staff and put in a 5-star kitchen for food service.

This could be fun. Spaceflight might be nice.
