Either Microsoft corporate headquarters or Bill Gate’s billion dollar house, I can’t decide.

Yes, but if it fell on deaf ears in the forest, would anybody hear? Especially if that forest were in, say, northern New Jersey. I’m joking of course. I know full well there are no trees in northern New Jersey ;).

goth answer: I wish the Mir had crashed into me and ended my misery. Of course with my luck I’d probably survive.

Henny Youngman answer: I wish the Mir had crashed into my wife and ended my misery. Of course with my luck, she’d probably survive and invite her mother to move in.

I personally would mind a few scraps of metal dropping into my home state of Kentucky.

Or on an XFL game during a live broadcast (not hitting anyone, of course.)

I second Freyr’s nomination for the ‘Reverend’ Phelps, and would be elated if a bit of shrapnel shorted out the server housing his website…

Also, a definite ‘YEAH!’ to Ukelele Ike for his suggestion, hoping that the biggest chunk of Mir buries itself in Attorney General Ashcroft.

And, just to lower the annoyance factor of the world, Tom Green and MTV Studios.
