Minor victory thread

It's fine. Working is for suckers.

Yeah, I need to win the lottery. Or get a sugar mama.

 

[GasBandit]

I should have responded with this gif, but it didn't occur to me until after.

I want to win one of the silly huge American lotteries! And I'll be honest....no more work for me. When people win tons of money and still want to do their crappy old day job I get mad.

Well, this usually happens with people who like their job. Also, I would never ever want to win the lottery in a state where I can't hide that I won the lottery.

Which is why I make that 2.5 mile drive over into Maryland whenever I have the urge to buy a ticket. It's one of the six states (Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota, Ohio and South Carolina) that allow lottery winners to remain anonymous.

Fortunately, Texas kinda does let you. It doesn't let individual winners stay anonymous, but if you establish a trust for the winnings, the "winner" can be the trust.

 

[Dei]

Yep, Colorado has a trust too. Not that I will ever win the lottery, but thank god for that.

I didn't far enough into my little dream to think of that.

Hey I like my job.

[DarkAudit]

I like my job.

Mine has done right by me enough that I wouldn't feel right just walking away if I wound up with a crapton of money.

I'd at least have to give notice.

 

[GasBandit]

I'd be half tempted to buy where I work, JUST SO I CAN BE THE ONE TO FINALLY BURN IT DOWN.

[Sparhawk]

To do that in BCS you'll have to build it first.

 

[Tinwhistler]

I wouldn't give shit for notice. The few times they've laid people off in my department, they weren't given notice, and neither was I (you know, their boss) until the day of. Reap what you sow...

 

[GasBandit]

Hey, we have tall buildings!



Ok... we HAD a tall building.

 

[Sparhawk]

That's what I remembered.

 

[GasBandit]

Well, I'm sitting a mere 30 yards or so from a 500 foot tall radio tower! I mean, it's only about 5 feet wide, but hey! I got a tower, I can get an inferno, let's do this!

After I win the lottery and buy the place, I mean. Of course.

 

[Dei]

Google Boulder will probably go on a hiring spree in the next year after they finish their new building, just get a job there and burn it all down on your way out of Texas.

Then again... Boulder. *shudder*

 

[Sparhawk]

You can burn anything if you are determined.


After you buy it of course.

 

[GasBandit]

Everyday I walk past this bad boy in the parking lot. In my dreams I go to town on it with an angle grinder.

It would be far more exciting to drip a single drop of sulfuric acid on each cable once a day knowing that when it fails it'll be completely random.

If they're aluminum, then muratic would be better.

[Emrys]

Burn, baby, burn!

 

[PatrThom]

Burn, baby, burn!

That's a Disco inferno, not a Towering one.

--Patrick

 

[Emrys]

That's a Disco inferno, not a Towering one.

--Patrick

Meh, close enough. Still burnin', baby.

 

[Sparhawk]

Meh, close enough. Still burnin', baby.

They make medication for that now.

 

[jwhouk]

And it burns, burns, burns, that ring of fire...

 

[strawman]

A single drop of mercury would do the trick too, but probably faster.

 

[PatrThom]

You're probably thinking of gallium.
Well, at least the "keep it above 85 degrees F" part wouldn't be an issue.

--Patrick

 

[strawman]

You're probably thinking of gallium.

--Patrick

That works too, but I was thinking Mercury:

 

[PatrThom]

Ah, that's true. I did know mercury attacks silver, did not realize it also attacks aluminum.

EDIT: which is a little embarrassing, because I've actually seen that very video before.

[fade]

I'd be afraid the cables would slice someone in half horror movie style. You know--where they stand there for a second before the top half slides eerily to the side.

Just like Butters's tap recital.

 

[GasBandit]

I'm just surprised that picture came out as clear as it did, seeing as how I took it at 9pm in a pitch black parking lot in the rain.
