Mark Cuban is the anti-Bill Gates. Hang out with strippers: Check. Contribute to Charity without strings or notice: Check. Bond w/ the Common Guy because you really are the Common Guy who just happens to be a billionaire: Check.

COPPELL, Texas (AP) ? Wearing a navy blue denim shirt and a manager's badge, Mark Cuban took orders, made change and served soft-serve ice cream cones at a Dairy Queen on Wednesday.

"It might not be pretty, but it works," the Dallas Mavericks' billionaire owner said as he handed a cone to a customer.

Hundreds of people surrounded the suburban restaurant to be served lunch by Cuban, who was making good on a promise to the fast-food chain to be a manager for a day.

The company's offer came in response to Cuban's criticism of the NBA's head of officiating: "I wouldn't hire him to manage a Dairy Queen."

The league fined Cuban $500,000 for the comment, the largest for an individual in NBA history.

"This is the best thing to happen to Dairy Queen since the invention of the Blizzard 16 years ago," said Dean Peters, Dairy Queen's head spokesman, who traveled from the Minneapolis headquarters for Wednesday's event.

Fans and customers began lining up hours in advance. A carnival atmosphere surrounded the store, with inflatable play areas for children, portable basketball games and more than a dozen TV and radio stations broadcasting live. The store was giving away free ice cream.

You're a billionaire too? That's awesome.

I hope you spend it all on dick enlargement research.

Yep. And I'm going to buy your dour avatar a smile.

 

[Starfish]

I think I need one. Oh wait. I feel one coming on.....

 

[Modest Moose]

Starfish, that's a sneeze, not a smile a'comin'.

How would you handle a billion dollars?

 

[Marxist]

Fuck Moose, your check is in the mail. I love that smile.

 

[Rambling Rose]

My, what big teeth you have.

 

[Amused]

Yeah, if I were a billionaire, I'd probably be self-centered, thoughtless, insensitive ass too.




Come to think of it, all I need is the billion dollars....

 

[Starfish]

MM, Why are you a moose now?

Is it rutting season yet?

Okay, I will give you the lip biter av pic, and you tell me what you think.

If I had a billion dollars....

Family, friends, and some very close internet loved ones would get royally 'hooked up'.

Okay, this is just fantasy, because I wouldn't really do this, due to the cost, and the overall weight it would put on Laurel, but I had an idea......

Laurel land would sonly have a totally new definition. I would grant laurel the money to open the first Adult amusement park in San Diego, and You'd all be flown in for the grand opening. We'd get fucking jiggy with it, for about a week or two.



Okay, really, I would then buy as many acres of Montana as are available to me and make it a preserve, except for the 500 acres that I'll live on, and I'd make some of my good friends move there too and build a little community. It'd be fun. Who wants to come live with me? Myst is right there, so she is on auto-inclusion.

I would get a girl dog for Bosco.... maybe more.
Yes, he'd have a hareem.

I'd try and get on a program for housing, and trying to breed endangered species tortoises, like this dude in K.C. that my Dad knows, does. He has an indoor and outdoor environment for them, and he breeds them, and the offspring goes back to their niche. It is really cool.

And my all time most important thing to do..... Set up spay and neuter clinics all over the country, that are free to those with financial need, or those who are bringing in strays.
I'd keep this program going by trying to get Corporate and Charitable donations and funding.

Otherwise, I'd give most of what is left away, because I'd still get my degrees, because I'd still become an Urban Ecologist, as I plan to do. Oh, and if I found that I didn't want to do that, I'd paint all day, smoke pot, fuck Dave a lot, take nature walks, do photography, grow my garden, and indoor plants, care for my animals, and have big dinners for my friends, and have rockin parties.


Sort of like I try to do now, but in a much nicer location, on a better buget.

Fish, you'll give Tunnel of Love a new meaning.

Fishie, I'll sell you my acres. I had them appraised without the buildings on them. 7 acres: $250,000. Ah, the joys of inherited land ownership on the Flathead lake. You of couse, can just come and visit and live with me. Bring the pets, too. And you'll be closer to Lickety!
