Oh Otto. You have truly made my day. tears of laughter
Buy the naming rights to the Big Corporation Stadium. Rename it Veteran’s Field. Tell everyone I did it to shame the city.
This happens.
I know someone who has been a volunteer firefighter near Bancroft, Ontario, and every now and then the fire department will get a call. Someone has bought a property with a semi-derelict wooden house, and they intend to destroy it and build anew. So they remove anything salvageable and then invite the fire department for training and a barbecue.
That is genius, and you don’t even need nearly $25 M to do it.
I’m already opening up Photoshop…
I believe the price of certain produce is on the up & up, according to a news bit I saw recently. At least in California.
That episode was actually on [as] tonight.
Creepy.
I have a similar dream. In mine the conversation goes like this…
Me: I’m not coming in today.
Supervisor: Are you sick?
Me: No, I’m calling in wealthy.
It has always been a dream of mine to find the current addresses of girls who wouldn’t give me the time of day in high school or in my 20s and repeatedly drive past their houses, waving from my new red Lamborghini.
But I just thought of an even better dream. I would locate their of-legal-age daughters, if such exist, and ask “Who wants to ride in my new red Lamborghini?” and then wave at the moms when I drop the daughters off.
I’d buy a superbowl ad.
Fade in to me on one of those soap boxes; I pull out my list.
" The following is a list of people who can kiss my black ass"…
The only question would be if I needed more than one ad.
What background music would you select?
Just to clarify, the cold weather in California has killed off a large percentage of the crops.
What about that guy who sings those Budweiser commercials?

My dream: Unpublished Research Institute. An online peer-reviewed journal.
Is your field not “cutting edge”? Did your research prove something that was excepted as fact without anyone investigating it? Need to discuss mundane things like animal strain quirks and good equipment? Come to the URI!
There will be an annual meeting: Science Complaints, Research Worries, and Drinks. It will be abbreviated: URSCRWD
…three days later.
I’d follow up Sunspace’s idea by building a flying saucer and hover it over those places. Break into the local TV/radio signals and send a message threatening the destruction of the planet if they didn’t shape up.
Another idea would be to buy a couple nukes off the black market. Send a message to every world leader that I actually have ten of them hidden in major cities around the world but I won’t say which countries they are hidden in. If the world leaders don’t stop fighting, clean up the environment, and make the world a better place I will set off one of the bombs. Then, so they don’t think I’m bluffing I’d set of one on a deserted island. Every country would wonder if they have one and would be scared shitless.
Or how about renting Disneyworld for the day and only let in members of diametrically opposed groups (Klan vs. Nation of Islam, Westboro Baptist Church vs. ACT-UP, extremist arms of pro-life vs. extremist arms of pro-choice, etc.) They would all be wearing t-shirts with the name of their organizations. I would time each groups arrival so they would not see the other groups come in. Then I would sit back in the control booth and watch the confrontations on the security cameras.
OK, I’m cruel and nasty with a sick sense of humor.
I think this is a laudable and worthy goal, Eve.
However, if I were to do it, I’d dub in voices using appropriate voice actors: Alvin the Chipmunk, StrongBad, Peewee Herman, teenage amine stars, Val Girls, Warner Brothers cartoon actors, people breathing helium or sulphur hexafluoride…
