my laptop, an internet connection and a pillow.
plus food n lots of it.
Pillows, blankets and hormones then I could work on my body and come out as i wanted to be.
Can't do without my pillows, laptop, and blackberry.
wooh there. slow down..your locking me in a basement?
then Vit D supply for 10years or else a sunlamp that will give me vit D when used...I would want to keep my teeth, and my bones in healthy order (No rickets for me)
then yes the books
the kitchen
and i must admit i would like a friend for company.
Sarcastic Coffee Aficionado
no way!!
Life isn't a dress rehearsal.
How about going with the 40pt option.
Two 18yo, an HD camera and a pool table
To me, this kind of thing is only worth it if you get a good amount of money, so I wouldn't think of going for the 40-point option.
If I just used 30 points:
18-year-old
Unlimited booze
Jacuzzi and hygiene products (after all, a lot of sex over 10 years will work up a stink)
Garden
If I used 35 points:
18-year-old
Unlimited booze
Jacuzzi and hygiene products
Pool Table
Full kitchen
When you get to my age the top currency is time so no basement hangout for me.
The 40 point option is inconsiderable. To spend ten years doing anything and have nothing monetary to show for it would be unthinkable, especially confinement in a basement. So now I am left with the 30 or 35 point option. Obviously, I would like to try for the 30 point option and get the $10 million pay out. Unfortunately, I don’t think I could be alone for ten years and that is a very expensive amenity in this scenario. Also, I believe health and physical conditioning to be paramount. Combined, those aren't cheap either. Lastly, but certainly not "leastly" (not a word), the mind cannot be wasted as it surely would be, sitting in a damn basement for 10 years with no stimulation. To meet all of these requirements and still have a hefty amount of money when I am through, I would choose the following:
35 Points, $5 Million Pay out
18 Points/18 Year Old Girl - Honestly, I would rather have an attractive woman who is my age; I get annoyed quickly with younger people. Who knows, maybe 10 years without the stupidity of media and other distractions, and she wont be so bad. Having another person with you at all is, in my opinion, of the greatest importance. There are so many things that having someone there will bring to the table. Being a woman and a man together, the obvious one is sex. (assuming you are heterosexual) However, other things like: conversation, a second point of view, joking around, playing games, intellectual stimulation, assistance with numerous activities and/or necessities, and help in case of emergencies like injury or illness. I could go on and on ... a companion is the most important thing ... PERIOD.
6 Points/Full Kitchen Package - Healthy eating is important, especially if you are confined to a basement. The lack of vitamin D alone would make you incredibly depressed and unhealthy. You must combat that with proper nutrition, it will make you feel better and give you more energy to help fight the depression. Also, having every cooking ingredient ever would have MANY more benefits than good food and nutrition. Many cooking ingredients can be combined and used in a plethora of other applications such as medicine, hygiene, entertainment, sex, and others.
5 Points/Fitness Equipment Package - Physical conditioning is important for depression, general health, and entertainment. Plus, with ten years to focus on only a few things, one of them being fitness, you could come out looking like Gerard Butler ... except way better (in case you don’t know, this would be referred to as super badassery) ... enough said about that.
4 Points/Library Package - Ten years with every bit of knowledge and information ever known to humankind?
Entertainment level: Unlimited
Intelligence level: Omnipotence
2 Points/Medical Care - No matter what happens, I want to know I wont die from something I can't prevent. Like mold spores in the basement, a damn infection from a cut, or bleeding out from an injury. I mean it could still happen, but I would at least like to know I had a bad-ass medical team that did their best.
Well, there you have it. The best amenities I could come up with. If you chose a TV, I hate you.
A crap load of paper, a bunch of pens, and coffee. Finally, some uninterrupted writing time.
I don't see a desktop computer and a top of the line Internet connection - no deal! I gots to have My Lush! LOL!
1 My autographed copy of a Slim Whitman album
2 My grannies bronzed dentures
3 Farmers Almanac to predict the weather
4 Little green apples because it doesn't rain some place in Indiana
5 Calamine lotions in case of basement critters
6 Peter Pan peanut butter because I'm hooked on it
7 Clean underwear in case run over by a bus
8 Smelling salts just incase I vapor lock
9 Picture of Buster Crabbe
10 Carrots to make me see better
Funny thing is, a lot of men would PAY $10 millions to be locked in a basement for 10 years with an 18-year-old girl.
nothing ... i'll just runaway from all of it !!!
