Things I Could Do With $15,000,000

• I could convert it into a billion and a half pennies that would weigh more than 4½ tons and cover over 700,000 square feet. Or just stack them up almost 15 miles high- over 2½ times the size of Mount Everest.
• I could renew www.highorbitpodcast.com for the next 2 million years.
• I could cover 150,000 square feet of my ship with Auralex® acoustic foam.
• I could take a trip into outer space with Space Adventures. Oh, wait, I own my own ship. Nevermind.
• I could get out of responsibility for exposing 163,000 people to identity theft, just like ChoicePoint. That’s one expensive way to say, “oops, my bad.”
• I could support 13 metro school districts in Kansas City to advance math and science education. So some day one of those kids might actually build a droid or a spaceship.
• I could protect 20,000 square miles of rivers, lakes, and streams on planet Earth from development and destruction. I call it a good start, though.
• I could support Brazil’s effort in the War On Drugs®. Funny that, though the drugs are unarmed, they seem to be winning anyway.
• If it was 1803, I could have bought the Louisiana Territory from the French, and I’d have built New Orleans on top of a freaking mountain if I had.
• I could get some better writers for this show by supporting the University of Washington’s Creative Writing department. Suck it, Wazzu.
• I could help provide clean water for 90,000 people in Haiti.
• I’d have doubled the amount our government sent for tsunami relief. That’s less than half of what the Republicans spent on Bush’s inaguration, by the way.
• I could feed 44,642 people for an entire year through Compassion International.
• I could buy over 2 million 6-packs of Beck’s Oktoberfest. Today I’m just drinking one.
• I could promote High Orbit with 200,000 ads in The Tennessean.
• I could promote High Orbit with bus cards in 40 of Nashville’s buses for the next 2,900 years. Or just wrap the whole damn bus- 490 of them -with vinyl for an entire year.
• I could promote High Orbit by hiring a pilot to tow a 10,000 sq. ft. banner over Chicago every second of every day for the next four years.
• I could promote High Orbit with 28 inside-cover ads in Time Magazine.
• I could promote High Orbit with six Superbowl commercials.
• Build another MySpace, and somehow manage to make it look uglier than the original.
