What Would I Do For A Million Dollars?
Posted By AmyD. on December 29, 2006
Aside from the fact that I’m faced with a nasty bout of blogger’s block (similar to writer’s block) – I was not about to let my dear friend, Marti, down. I adore Marti, she’s very real, very naughty, and pretty freaking funny on a regular basis. This particular question was in reference to her latest Squidoo Lens, which is pretty interesting.
Sooooo, now that I’ve carefully managed to avoid the question, I guess I’m left with no other choice than to answer it.
First off, I have to consider what those morons contestants on Survivor have gone through for a million dollars. Would I do that? Ummmm, no. Although, it does seem like a great way to lose weight AND be completely miserable.
I would never hurt another person or commit a criminal act. A misdemeanor, sure, but not a felony. That pretty much excludes killing someone or cheating on my spouse.
It seems that in answering this question it is easier to list what I wouldn’t do for a million dollars. Which isn’t the question, unfortunately.
So what WOULD I do for a million dollars?
Streak (although, seriously, NO ONE would PAY to see that)
Eat nothing but brussel sprouts for a week.
Porn… for a million dollars…. hmmmm, I’d consider it. (And, yes, I would consider PORN different than CHEATING on my spouse, the former implies full knowledge of what I am about to do, the latter implies sneaky, underhanded dealings with the intention of being dishonest.)
Spend one night in a notoriously haunted house, alone.
For some reason this question always seems to garner responses indicating how “low” a person might stoop for financial compensation. So, here are a few more things that might not necessarily be considered bad things:
Watch “When Harry Met Sally” back to back for a week straight.
Listen to nothing but Harry Connick Jr. music for a month.
Watch nothing but news channels for a week straight.
Read “War and Peace”
Write a book.
And, that’s all I’ve got, but I have no doubt that there will be other bloggers who will come up with far better answers than these. In fact, I already know of one. And, I am secure and comfortable in the knowledge that no matter what I attempt to do she will be able to do it better and leave me in her dust with a drink in my hand and a dirty look on my face.

LMAO – oh you are too kind.
Seriously though – too kind. You wouldn’t go on Survivor for a MILLION dollars?!?!
Pfft – and here I thought we had a kindred “entrepreneurial”, money grubbin’ spirit.
Miss B We do… however, not even you would get that grubby for money.
I’m certain of it. Dirt, bugs… dirt?!?!?! Blech.
Wishing you a Happy, Healthy New Year!
Oh, also I love the new look!!
Spiffy!!
HUMMMMM, a million bucks ya say? Well, I’m with ya on the streaking, but who would pay to see a middle aged woman who’s body parts have all gone south jiggle down the street naked:oops:
