Wildest, craziest thing you'd do...

...for $1,000,000.

What would you be willing to do if I gave you a check for a cool mil?

Be serious - I have to answer this question and I'm looking for ideas.
 
For the folks of this forum, how about traveling a certain distance with nothing but the contents that you can fit in an Altoids tin and the clothes on your back. (Might as well play with the loaded dice)

I would do whatever they require to within reason. I will not harm myself or impact my ability to live (I wont give up a kidney for example) and I would not take someone elses life. Anything else is open to discussion.

I would prefer to work for the person for or say 10 years and consider it to be a generous salary of 100K a year. Perhaps I will offer them my services as a full time web server and spend my days on bladeforums?
 
obviously you aren't gonna pick the truly wildest thing for yourself.

but what is the wildest thing YOU should do for a mil?

I say go into the baddest neighborhood in the US naked holding only flowers singing rap songs in an operatic loud voice.


The wildest thing I would do is NOT that!


this would fit in the survival context, can you talk or sing your a$$ out of this many layers too if you got passed the gansta's can you get passed the cops then can you get passed the men in white suits and so on.
 
How about 'embarrass yourself on national television' (i.e. be on the Survivor show).
 
Hmmmmm... Good suggestions. I like the one about walking naked w/flowers & singing - somewhere on the "other" side of town. I had thought of maybe wearing anti-gay slogans while attending a feminist rally.

The Survivor thing wouldn't be so bad, but I don't think it hardly qualifies as "wild and crazy".

The Survivor referece has to do with the application form I looked at for the show. They had just about that exact question on there. :)
 
I'd be willing to take that check to the nearest casino, find a roulette wheel and bet it all on black. Practically double or nothing for me. Is that crazy, or what? ;)
 
Well, I wasn't going to make this confession, because I know that there are mixed opinions on these forums regarding the Survivor show, but that is exactly what I'm applying for. But embarrassed? Hardly. Why not let someone else pay my expenses while I spend two months in some remote wilderness? And stand to win $1,000,000 to boot! :D

The show has been widely criticized on these forums, but I think that many people have missed the point. True, in many aspects the show has little to do with true survival. The biggest beef that I've seen expressed on the forums has been that the show pits people against each other, whereas in true survival you need to work together. But in almost every post-apocalyptic scenario presented on this very forum there has been an assumption that an "enemy" would be present. To say that the people aspect has nothing to do with survival would be ignorant.

That said, I'd like to mention that while the sociologist in me was intrigued by the personal interaction aspect of the previous games, the outdoorsman in me is even more intrigued by the prospect of being able to test my outdoor skills and see if they are as good as I think they are. If you watch the previews for the upcoming show in Marquesas you'll see that they are no longer being provided food, water, fire or shelter, so true survival will now be a much larger factor than previously.

Sorry for the long reply, s002cjs, but I felt a need to justify my actions among a group that is generally set against the show.

If I make it on I'll try to wear or somehow display my net name (coyotlviejo) so that y'all will know who I am. :)

Ciao,

I have not critized it.

it does seem that there is a lot of backstabbing from things I heard about the show.

but it is a survivalist paid retreat of sorts so go for it.

make us proud
 
No justification needed! I'd love to go to some of those places (escpecially on an all-expense paid vacation)! If you get in (or even make the next round), keep us posted!

I was actually interested when I though that my skills would actually be important (which they would in some of the challenges on the show), but I know that my people-skills would probably get me booted off pretty quickly...although even that wouldn't be too bad since they need to keep you around (and paid for) until they're done shooting so that no one knows that you weren't the winner!

Good luck!
 
In that case....I'd kill everyone else on the island. Oops you said you wouldn't take another life.
Hmmm.
 
You probably just don't want to know. I will say I've done things I'm not proud of for a hell of a lot less.
I'd certainly kill for that kind of money, but it'd have to be a card carrying dyed in the wool BG, and I'd have to have some assurance of untraceability.
 
If you make it to the show please contact me before you go. I am a US Air Force Survival Instructor and I would love to hook a brother up with some good info. Keep us all posted please! Good luck and God bless.
 
Well, y'all did not give me many ideas for my application, but you have provided words of encouragement, so I thank you. If I get on the show I'll try to make y'all proud. Today was the final day to get applications submitted, so the door is now closed and the next step of the selection process begins...

Here's hoping - and praying...

For 1 million dollars?

I'd do the usual suspect's Goat.

That would be the outer limits of my weirdness for $1,000,000.00
 
How about,Drive through texas in a pink VW bug with two bumper stickers saying can bush re-elect clinton and the second saying all firearms should be banned.
That would be pretty damn wild and crazy,though we all know you wouldnt live to see 1 million $:D
 
Tip Number one: The cameraman is obviously not starving. Kill,skin and eat him, then take his stuff. Be funny as hell to see what they do with that. Seriously, good luck man.
