If you could make one of the following happen, which one would you pick?

A) Your picture on a postage stamp
B) Your statue in a park
C) A college named after you
D) A Nobel prize
E) A national holiday in your honor

[PRB]

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.

[Bjoern]

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.

[Dain Arns]

D) A Nobel prize

Because it has a cash prize.


Ditto. I could use the cash right now. I'd even share. :icon_lol:

[Terry]

D) A Nobel prize

Because it has a cash prize.


Same here, but I won't share!

[Cloud9Gal]

Same here, but I won't share!

LOL @ Terry

Not even a little? How about just taking all of us out to dinner? :bump:

[Odie]

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 !!! :icon_lol:

Well said, Odie.

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

When do I get the money?:applause:

[Snuffy]

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 ... :jump:

Yeah, I'll take C.

[Cazzie]

Become a posthumous world leader and get all five.

None for me for real C0G, I thrive on my anonymity.

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.

[Snuffy]

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?

[Toastmaker]

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 !

[cheezyflier]

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

[Kiwikat]

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!

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.

[crashaz]

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... :barf:

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.

[Snuffy]

Gawd! Obio, did ya have to quote CF with that picture?? I mean once was enough!!!

:barf:

My sentiments exactly.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

[TARPSBird]

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! ;)
