210 Million Dollars

Everytime the Powerball jackpot gets up there, I buy a ticket. It’s at 210 million for tonight’s drawing, so I picked up some numbers yesterday. I know my chances aren’t good, but it allows me to briefly daydream about how great life would be if I were filthy rich.

Here are some of my ideas:

  • I was talking with Andy E. a few months ago about what it would be like to win such a great sum. He told me that Diddy had himself a man-servant and suggested that if he or I ever won that we buy each other one. Remember the Dudley Moore movie, Arthur? I picture my man-servant to be like the John Gielgud character.

  • Also, I imagine that I would have enough money to properly take revenge on all of my enemies. This might involve hiring a Jack Bauer type of character to aid me with my plans.

  • Replacing the Bradley Center with the Chuck Center. It would include a phat luxury box for all of my peeps.

  • The Asian Moon festival cancelled this year, but the Summerfest grounds people haven’t plugged anything into its spot. I can think of a certain festival that might be resurrected if its benefactor ever came into 210 million dollars.

  • I would remake my student film, Thanks Bob, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Scarlett Johansson, and Jake Gyllenhaal

  • Buy an island, preferably somewhere warm.

  • Dress in nothing but tuxedoes

  • Grow the best mustache ever

Forget Paschke and McGlocklin, you and Jim would be calling the games.

How about “Thanks Bob” with Jim Kogutkiewicz, Andy Gorzalski and Scarlett Johansson?

I mean, I know you’d be rich, but don’t waste your money on Leo and Gyllenhall. I’d reprise my role just for the chance to shove a candy bar in my mouth in front of Scarlett Johansson. Well, I’d do it for that and also 61 Wendy’s chicken nuggets.
