I think DNA has different meanings to us. What’s yours dadaist?

Douglas Noel Adams. In which case the charities would include things like Save the Rhino International, and so on.
(see www.douglasadams.com, click on news, follow the links).

No, but people who knew whom I was talking about probably would have done.

PantyFanatic 07-09-2003 01:24 PM

You're right again. Probably both of them would have known. Sorry to live such a sheltered existence.;)

Me...

I have this fascination with Hummers.......... hehehe...

and I figure there are many Pixies I would love to meet in person... soooooo........

My first thing would be to buy a map... map out where all my favorite pixies live.....

For those who live overseas... I would fly you all here... to MO where at the airport you would find a special hummer to drive to my location :)

For those in the US & Canada.. I would place a call to the nearest Hummer dealer to you... give them the specs for the particular Hummer I wanted... then I would have each and every Pixie pick one up for me.. and drive it here... for inspection :) Some would be given away.... others.. would me MINE :)

Any guesses as to who would keep them? That is the best part... wooohooooo :) Lets just say that my period of celebacy would be brought to an end :)

Not to mention... their shocks would be put to the test :)

Okay, the drawing for the $250 million has occured. I had ONE number on my ONE ticket. *sigh*
I dunno if any of the other tickets I bought (for my parents and grandparents) did anything or not, yet.
And it's too premature to know if there's yet another rollover.

Dagnabbit Clyde! I didn't win.

Oh well. It might have helped if I had remembered to buy a ticket. :o
Color me dorky.

dadaist 07-10-2003 12:44 AM

Well if no one won I think I'll try the WI lottery instead of the Hoosier lottery. :P

I'd pay whatever it cost to put Pixies-Place back on the web and hire Kim as it's director. Then set up a foundation to help assure that this site could stay for years and years to cum ...

oh dear looks like two people got a bit lucky

Yeah one ticket bought in PA, one ticket bought in MO for those who haven't cliked through. Powerball is back down the starting place of $10 million. Its main competitor, the Mega Millions game (which Illinois is part of) is at $34 million for Friday, the 11th.
Guess I don't HAVE to go to Wisconsin after all, this weekend, unless someone here wants to convince me to make the trip anyway? ;)

The winners have the option of the annual payments of up to $125 million (splitting the jackpot in half) or taking lump sums, which will probably work out to $73 million (each), before taxes.

dadaist 07-11-2003 11:38 PM

Just for the sake of...well whatever.
Got $40 in tickets for parents and grandparents. Won $6. :P

LixyChick 07-13-2003 01:48 AM

I ALWAYS get the feeling I'm gonna win "this time" and then I find myself sitting in front of the TV like Homer Simpson (doh) as the game goes off!

I just know I'll win it next time though!
