I would bribe people to read my latest blog, Name That Baby. Hey, you could afford a lot of children with that kind of money, I mean to say, you could adopt a whole village of kids from the Congo.

Basically, I'm just going to walk the earth.

I will be known as the Kung Fu Dough Boy

...and I will Kill Bills all over the planet.

Take my family and friends for a game of bowling.
Then I would privately fund the Kansas Children's Initiative.

Might get a paste factory & a new pair of scissors for merrill, maybe a lifetime supply of lead for RoeDapple, although half a billion only goes so far...

I sure as hell wouldn't be here making lame comments.

I'd buy a round of biscuits and gravy for everyone

I won the lottery 27 years ago when I met the spousal unit.
Just sayin.

How can you all sit there reading this when Lindsay Lohan got arrested again?! Free Lindsay!

I would act like I am better than everyone. Buy more stuff especially shiney stuff. I would buy new shocks too but brag about how mine are better than yours.

Disappear.

I would pay off student loans, pay off my mortgage and then donate the house, buy a house in the country, buy a new truck for the hubby, a vacation condo in the Colorado mountains... and set up some money to pay for my kids' (and future grandkids) schooling and a scholarship fund for all my nieces and nephews. AND take a vacation somewhere or two! and retire to do things that I want to do.
