I’ve been remiss in my blogging duties thanks to pneumonia and CONvergence. (One was far more pleasant than the other, I assure you.) But now that life has returned to relative normality, the Thursday tradition shall resume!
Quick, tell me about the most ridiculous thing you would buy if you won the lottery.
I’d probably buy this.
I’d buy a private airfield, a Sikorsky Skycrane, and turn the Skycrane’s cargo pod into a tiny mobile home. Going to ALL THE CONS.

Johnny Depp. And David Bowie.
A tiny house (~100 square feet) for my backyard. A la Tumbleweed houses, but on a foundation and without plumbing.
A Harkonnen Chair by HR Giger.

I want to buy the rights to the story “Bloodborne” (a Batman/Nightwing story from several years ago), and then have Doug Mahnke redraw all the art. The story was excellent, but the art suuuuuuuuuuuucked!
I’ll have to think on it. I was thinking I’d probably buy a dedicated performance space for Fearless, and say the only condition for their use of it is that they must compare someone to me as an insult during Vilification Tennis when I attend. Is that ridiculous?
PS: I kind of want to make a spam comment to be the 20,000th one blocked: “19,999 Spam Comments Blocked so far by Spam Free WordPress”.
A library.
A plot of land somewhere in the middle of the city. I’d then put up an 8′ (minimum) privacy fence, and hire some builders to bring in a bunch of heavy equipment and just keep moving earth around for about 3 months. Once they’re done and gone, all anyone will ever see if they get over the fence is an empty, grassy lot, with a single locked metal door in the ground. If they ever do get through the lock and open the door, all they will see is dirt, as the door won’t actually lead anywhere.
It will also send a message to me to let me know to change the lock for the next person brave enough to go over the fence. 🙂
