    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Windfalls are sudden unexpected amounts of cash due to good fortune and not to illegal actions like robbing a bank or printing the money yourself.
What would you do if suddenly you received, oh, $500,000 or so?
 
Another World Wide Booty Tour...... :D

No really I have changed a lot since 1995 so now I would just invest the whole amount in say CB&R stock and wait till they manage to pick apart Rexel and sell off what is left. ;)
 
If I came into money, I'd pay off my credit card bill, and my college loans, and then probably bail out my jerk of a stepdad and pay off the mortgage on the new house since his job in the auto industry is precarious now. Then I'd shop til I dropped :D

Oh and my little sister deserves a car and a cell phone, and I need a new car.

And you then would be broke with nothing but a new Jeep and some crap with the Prada label on it. Plus make the stepdad sign the house over to you if you paid it off. As for the sister, don't get suckered in and buy a new car. get a dealer demo and save a few grand that you can put up for the high cell phone bill a young girl can run up in no time at all. ;)
 
Ok first of all, there is nothing wrong with a new Jeep Unlimited with the inline 6. And for the record, I prefer manolo blahnik and coach to prada or louis vuitton or d&g, etc...

I wouldn't buy my little sis a new car, are you crazy???!!!! no point if she's going to wreck it, may as well get a nice used one and insure the crap out of it to pay for her next car lol.

Renee's usually on the phone because she can't go see her friends... and if she goes over, she gets the same deal my mom gave me: paying twice what the service provider charges for overages. I paid an extra $70 one month, and I never did it again.
 
I'd pay off my parents house, buy my daddy a new truck with the best seats money can buy (after 30+years of manual labor his body is shot), and I would get my little sister a nice Bronco for when she gets her license next summer (gulp!!). I would also pay off my old debts and try to get a house of my own, and get out of this tiny apartment!
 
Pay some bills and buy herps. Buy lots of friggin herps. I get to party all the time anyway. Life is good when you are the Cobra Kid.
 
Well of all the nerve, I expected everyone who looked at this poll to buy me chocolates........come on, vote the poll, and if you got that much cash, pony up for a box of Godiva....

I am a cheap ass......... :D
 
Lucille,
How could you leave travel off the list? A sailboat tour of the Greek Islands would be a fine way to dispose of the extra cash. I'd send you chocolates from my tour stops....

True, but me and boats have a problem. I get drunk and tend to end up swimming when I don't want to......


And after much deep thought about this windfall, I have come to the conclusion I would buy some snakes also. Which means I would get two of everything Hank Molt has to offer in venomous. :D ;) And go to a certain island and bring back a certain trio of a certain snake with "golden" in its name. ;)
 
I know how to stock a boat with plenty of booze and strippers, but that doesn't go very far in the business world.

Wait a minute, yes it does.... Nevermind. ;)
 
Booze, hookers, drunken swimming....

I am reminded of the movies, Jaws, to be precise...

Chief Brody "We're gonna need a bigger boat!"

Captin Quint "Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women!"

Brownie "Sounds like this is going to be one memorable trip!"
