Evolving.

Okay, for all you Office Space fans, you remember when Lawrence and Peter are talking about what they'd do with a million bucks, Lawrence says, "Two chicks at the same time." Peter says, "Nothing. I'd sit on my ass all day, and do nothing." Sometimes I aspire to Peter's sentiments, but after meeting some of the biggest idiots on the highway yesterday, this is what I'd do when I felt like sitting on my ass in a car:

I'd buy a beater car--a big non-SUV one, like a Lincoln Towncar or one of those old Chryslers or Cadillacs with lots of horses under the hood--and then I'd go around rear-ending bad drivers. I figure that's good for about two years of paying increasingly higher insurance premiums, eventually losing my license and/or insurance, and still driving around before jail, with maybe a bit to bail me out and pay some fines. (Mostly I'd try to pay their repair costs out of pocket instead of notifying the insurance company, but that probably wouldn't always work.)

I'd run over polluters, litterers, people who drive too aggressively in their big-ass, dumbass vehicles. I wouldn't do it hard enough to hurt anyone--just enough to inconvenience them and raise their blood pressure, just as they raise mine.

I like your idea! I'm afraid that my answer might end up being more along the lines of Naha... Nagah... Notgoingtoworkhereanymore... I'd probably end up investing a good amount of it so that I could do more like Peter's idea... nothing. Nothing at all. Well, nothing productive. A few months back I wrote a post about winning the lottery. If I was filthy rich and didn't have to work, after setting up a permanent home, I'd travel the country in a big RV and watch a MLB baseball game in every home stadium and during football season, I'd follow John Madden's horse trailer and go to every Monday Night Football game during the season. I had more, but that is my 'If I won the lottery' dream...

Could I tag along? I love MNF. Not a big Madden fan but I love the game enough to put up with him.

LMAO at your first line. You might just be my long lost twin.

*cue scary soap opera music*

(do soap operas even have music?)

Well, seeing it live would mean no Madden on commentary. I'd just follow him because it'd be cool, I think. He drives from city to city because he's scared to fly. That's why he doesn't do the Pro Bowl. He's unwilling to fly to Hawaii.

I absolutely love that movie! We watched it at work in Korea probably every six weeks or so.

An excellent point. Don't know why I didn't think of it first except, of course, that I may well be stupid.

I watched it when I was in school at Oxford. My flatmates and I would quote it word-for-word...(we did study, i think).

You were at Oxford?  Which college?


That's my hometown!

I LOVE Oxford! I did an exchange thing at Keble for a semester (was supposed to be for a year but my bro got diagnosed with cancer so I went home) and it was the best experience of my life in academic, social, and spiritual terms. Absolutely the best.

Honestly, I'd move back to that city in a heartbeat. I wish it wasn't so difficult for newly graduated people to get work visas... *sigh*

Nah, just haven't given it all as much thought as me... I've had this plan for a while!
