I've won the lottery, what can I buy for you?

Alright, WHEN I win the lottery, what little memento of our time together on the Dope can I get for each of you?

A '57 Strat for WordMan.
A complete set of 1st Edition H.O.M.E.S. for Qadgop.
Fessie probably wants something for the twins.

What would you like?

How about a repaired foundation for my house?

What’s the price limit?

'Cause I’d kinda like a Steinway D (or a Bösendorfer 290). And I might need an addition to put it in.

You could pay my credit cards down to zero.

(It’s Dope related because $7.49 of the credit card debt paid for my membership)

Pay off the debt on my apartment and my student loans. Boring, yes, but probably the best you could do for me.

I’d like my first car back. The exact same car, I know who owns it. '72 Chevelle. This time I’d like a fresh paint job and a killer drivetrain. That’s all. Probably about $10,000 total.

Well, I really want a Canon EF 85mm F/1.2 lens, with a circular polarizing filter.

Um. Well, I could use it take dopefest pictures.

I’ll go with simple. I’ll take some Straight Dope merchandise - a couple of mugs, a t-shirt. Thanks!

A single Krugerrand. I’d love to have a gold coin just to posses.

What kind of lottery are we talking about here? 'Cause if this is Powerball or something, then I’d love it if you could take care of that pesky mortgage for me.

The services of a painter/decorator for a week. That’s all. I’d like my house to look more like a home than a hovel.

Get my mistresses some new cat toys and we’ll call it good.

I’d like a gold coin as well.

A new digital SLR so I can take more cat pictures, of course. :smiley:

One of these, in blue.

Or a pony.

One of these.
Maybe a little cleaner than the present one if you could.

A game-worn Columbus Cottonmouths hockey jersey. Or my season ticket. :slight_smile:
If you want to get two season tickets you can sit next to me at games…

A nicer apartment, in a better neighborhood, would be good.

How about paying off my student debt? There’s a lot of it to go, and sometimes I think I’ll never get rid of it.

I’m thinking the first Great North American Dopefest. Transportation and rooms provided. Entertainment and food is up to us.

Excellent idea. But why limit it to north America? Worldwide!
