I heard on the radio today that Jerry Seinfeld spent $900,000 to build a garage for five cars in New York City.

Do you know what I could do with $900,000? Buy a nice little house in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania and live comfortably writing for the rest of my life. *resists the urge to throw a childish temper tantrum*

Don't mind me. I'm having one of those "If I wasn't a lazy procrastinating bastard, I wouldn't be working this stupid job" days. Ugh.

EDIT: Sometime this century, I might actually be unchained from my work desk and allowed to go home. That assumes, of course, that the DNA test comes through on the blood I used to sign over my immortal soul to the company.

And just think- you could get a key with which to key those cars for about 39 cents. Not that you know where the freakin' garage IS ever would, of course.

I could always use the key that I get for working this stupid job.

Not that I know where the freakin' garage IS would do that, of course. I'm a good girl except for that killing spree, but like that counts. :)

By the way- is it wrong of me to automatically conclude the caption for your latest icon pic, "...now guess where it's going?"

Just asking.

Or a two bedroom townhouse in Old Town Alexandria.

Yes, but if I bought a house in PA with that, I'd actually have enough money left to live on for the rest of my life. Whereas if I bought a two-bedroom townhouse in Old Town, I wouldn't have enough left over for a vending-machine-size bag of Cheetos.

No kidding.

I live in Loudoun County and a townhouse across the street that has just TWO bedrooms just settled for $315k. This is the same neighborhood that was selling for $130k just five years ago.

Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, in Northern Virginia is smoking crack.

I wonder who their supplier is ...

I spent many a year in Northen Va. It warped me. For a long while I couldn't quite grasp the concept of 'abandoned warehouse'. I would say to myself 'Where the fuck are these abaonded warehouses coming from?' because in N.Va. any inch of grass is claimed and has fifty seperate plans to build something on it.

The only worthwhile part of the whole damned place was their willingness to build bookstores.

I would buy a nice little house in the middle of no where, and life forever off the rest too.

Would that I were rich that is.

Tell me about it. My parents bought their house twenty years ago as a fixer-upper for $11,000 in that itty bitty PA town, and now it's worth a little over a hundred thou. (Granted, they saved money on labor fixing it up because my dad's a contractor, but pick that entire house up and plunk it down in NOVA and it'd be worth at least half a million.)

With 900k, I'd finally make good on my goal to someday buy a golf course, and turn it into a horse ranch. You know, cause so many times it goes the other way 'round...

::smirk::

pS - Love the icon. Hermione kicks ass yo!

*fantasizes about people showing up with their golf clubs only to find horses roaming around*

I approve of this plan. Go forth and win the lottery.

FIVE CARS?

God, and here I thought the fictional Seinfeld was the asshole of the centure

A few years ago the University of Michigan althletics department decided to spend $50,000 to put a gold ring around the top of the football stadium. It looked tacky and awful. The head of the University agreed, and they spent $45,000 taking it off and putting it back the way it was.
Your tuition dollars at work.
