Dang, C9G, where do you come up with these questions...?!? ( :d ) How are we supposed to answer this? I'll never get my picture on a stamp, and I wouldn't want a nobel prize. I haven't done anything to warrent a college being named after me, and a holiday is, well, unlikely. So, that leave a park statue. If it's in the middle of the woods, miles from "civilization", then I might go for it...

D) A Nobel prize
Because it has a cash prize.
Statue or holiday, the latter being the more favourable alternative.
I'd hate watching the grass grow from the other side while being gradually forgotten.
Ditto. I could use the cash right now. I'd even share.Originally Posted by djscoo

Same here, but I won't share!
LOL @ Terry
Not even a little? How about just taking all of us out to dinner?
Picture on a stamp...
Your statue in a park ---> Too many birds for my taste.
A college named after you --> If it's a college of common sense...maybe.
A Nobel prize --> Not interested in the prize or money
A national holiday in your honor ---> Over time it'll be just another day
Picture on a stamp --> Probably be the last one issued and that'll last forever !!!

Okay, you shamed me into a free dinner, but just those listed in the thread.LOL @ Terry

When do I get the money?
It would have to be C.
Reason being is that in order for a school to be named after you, it is usually a sign that you were a major finacial contributor to the school, or that you were some how otherwise famous.
IF I were a major contributor, then that would mean most likely, I'd still have money left over ...
Yeah, I'll take C.

Guys, don't you have to be DEAD to have you picture on a stamp? I am not ready for that just yet.
I would pick Nobel Prize
Because, it would mean that I had done something that contributed to making our world a better place.

Isn't there a rule somewhere in all that Nobel Peace Prize process that says that the winner of the prize has to donate the cash award to a charity? Or do something philanthropic with the money? In otherwords you can't use it for your own gain?

Hmmm. . . let's see -
No stamp; my back would be sticky and that would imply certain things about me that would be wrong !
No statue; that would just become a Pigeon toilet
No Nobel prize; They have no further validity for me after recent "Awards".
No holiday; just another lazy day in the neighborhood -
I guess a college - higher education is a nobel goal !

i think i'd go for the statue, if it could be like this pic. i never heard of a statue of a fat middle aged redneck before
I really wish there were a "none of the above" option. I guess I'd also have to opt for the college out of that bunch.
That is a statue that I can relate too! Rednecks Rule! Especially fat middle aged rednecks!i think i'd go for the statue, if it could be like this pic. i never heard of a statue of a fat middle aged redneck before

E: National Holiday! It's the only one that actually gives something positive back to the people; who wouldn't like an extra day off? Nobel prize winners are only remembered for quiz show answers.
If it has to be a choice... guess Nobel Prize... must have meant I did something important... err then there is last year's Peace Prize winner...
So it has to be a prize in science....
... and it has to be awarded anonymously. I am not one to take credit for something that should be a part of the human condition.
Let people bask in their own glory... I do what I do for the simple satisfaction of helping others.

I'll go for the Nobel with its cash prize, even though I haven't done anything to deserve one. Oh wait, I forgot - you don't have to do anything to deserve one!
EXACTLY! :ernae: (although I do like the holiday option)
