I intend to win it. What should I buy? Bear in mind I'll only have $60 million or so after taxes.

14. I'm not so sure about that
Neutering the male ones would require tricky, expensive microsurgery. :P

23. Something nice for mom is a big check, with a note that says
"You're set for life, now go have fun!"

I would buy a bigger chunk of dirt, more appropriate for the pups.

Honestly, short of a bigger (but not obscene) house on a big parcel for the dogs, and the 6 car garage full of fun, I wouldn't really change how I live my life much.

27. flvegan doesn't do spandex.
I also can't sing.

Plus, when Eddie tried to replace me with his cousin's brother's best friends son, I'd punch him right in the dick.
