If you hate it so much, why don't you make a new one? Give the BroJos a break. Seriously. They do their best and people like you trash it. No one made you come here and post.
BroJos, Thank you, and know that *some* of us support you.
I'd retire my digital camera and stop striving to perfect my flying style.
The richest people in the world have closer to 100 billion
I was thinking about this the other day and I'd love to be able to do what Google and the Virgin Airlines guys are doing, which is basically pouring money into something that interests you.
I would donate millions to my alma mater and demand that they build the siiiiickest indoor and outdoor track facilities as well as a custom (my name here) designed cross-country course on a beautiful chunk of real estate with golf course grass and then pay networks to put it all on primetime.

Wow, you are quite a tool! Thanks for the laughs!

I honestly would donate to them. Just enough to stop it crashing all the time though. I like the forum look.

Really? Because I'm bashing a message board? I use it, I enjoy it, and I think it's well maintained. You're still here posting, so clearly it's not that bad...not below your level. Give it a rest.
really? what's your problem?
if it's just below you then go post on ESPN Rise
I'd give away all but a billion of it and then live off of the interest. I don't really want a huge house or a crazy car, but I would love to be able to travel more. I'd give some to my alma mater for scholarships and build indoor and outdoor facilities to be solely used by track/cross country athletes. A lot would go to random charities that I've been associated with. And of course some would go to family members.
Kill the other 9.
I would donate 20 billion towards space colonization, 1 billion to St. Judes, 1 billion to helping Africa and 1 billion to cancer research. 10-20 million towards buying land and building a house on it. The rest I'd probably spend on starting up a film production company.

You can buy the US congress for a few hundred million

Wow. Are you serious? Hard to tell here with all the trolls. If you are serious this kind of puts things into perspective and even if you are not something to think about...
Unfortunately, no I am not kidding. Chemo round 7 before a major surgery and more chemo later. Being surprised by disease in the mid-30's with no reason to expect is not necessarily the best thing in the world to have happen to you. All the money in the world would not really do any good other than let me pay other, more expensive doctors tell me they don't know what to do either.
Good luck. May you find the strength to get to the other side of this.

I've heard that should you survive, god willing, this will in fact be the best thing in the world to happen to you.
I would start my own business and build a moral, ethical business just as I want it. It would help people improve themselves.
Hey wait, that is just what I am doing. Wah-hoo!

Wow man, really sorry about that. What kind of cancer is it? Hope they are able to figure something out, best wishes!
If I told you precisely what kind it is I'd rat myself right out of my anonymnity : ) Let's just say there ain't a lot of it. About 50 people a year diagnosed in the world with it. Sadly, I learned what doctors mean by, "We can treat it." Translation: you ain't getting cured, but, we can keep you around a while longer. Good thing (sort of) is that they can buy me a few years. Which raises the question: if you had some undeterminable period of time (between 1-3 years) left to live, what would you do?

Start a training group for U.S. Distance Runners. 2 main camps in the U.S. one at high altitude and one at low altitude and in different areas of the country so we coud move from one to the other depending on weather, time of the year, etc. Since I'd be mega rich we'd have our own team jet to fly us back and forth as needed.
Would make lots of trails, loops and an indoor and outdoor track at each. Massage Therapists, Physiologist, Sports Psychologists, and a few assistant coaches, all reporting to me the head of coach and head of the team.
Roughly 12-15 men and 12-15 women on the team, all paid salaries and incentives based on performance.
I would show the world that through old fashion opportunity, dedication and hard work that the U.S. could once again reign supreme in the distance races and without the aid of PEDs.
hmmm...not a bad idea, but why would be that the formula for success, when I am constantly told on here that the reason the E Africans are so great is that they grow up in abject poverty and that makes them hungry? If that latter opinion is correct, your formula should fail, and you should instead take a group of orphans to a 3rd world country, pay some poor farmers to raise them, feed them very poorly for their developing years, make them run barefoot everywhere, and then encourage them to try running. It'd be cheaper too!
