Seriously, if we can get enough sponsors, sell enough trading cards, we can buy this huge underground complex. Who's in?

Actually if we could find 3000 interested parties it would only be $500.00 each. That's more than affordable.

I'm in but not if I merely get to be an underling wearing a jumpsuit that stands at a control panel all day. I want to be somebody in this new world we're building. Can I be a guy with some body part made of metal? maybe a laser built in somewhere?

We have to have cool uniforms. Something that makes hordes of flabby middle-aged white guys look impressive. And pirate boots.

I buddy of mine bought an old minuteman Silo turned it into his house. Cool talking point but it needed alot of work for comfortable habitation and there is the whole how can I work question.

From the description it looks like it will take several million dollars to outfit the interior. They stripped it of all the cool stuff. Maybe we can have a raffle.

I think our jumpsuits will need a stripe down the side. And goggles.

Ooh, ooh! And we need those cool clear plastic vinyl contamination suits. Those are sweet.

One of us is going to have to get a monocle, an eye-patch, or a scar across one eye. Or maybe a robot hand. Hey, why not all the above!

That's funny. I agree.

3000 peeps at 1000 each. Then we can do some mods.

I can do the monocle, eyepatch and scar, don't know about the robot hand tho. Can I have a parrot in stead? Or maybe a robot dog?

We'd never have to leave it. It'd be like Mego Meet all year around! All the door should slide open with a cool sound as it opens and closes.

I would love to have a nice little space for me and my toys, comics and DVD's! No one to bother you, aaaah, sounds like paradise!

Anyone else think its more than coincidence that this thing looks like one of those hamster habitat set ups?

Also...theres no bathrooms! If I'm going to live in a bunker there has to be bathrooms!!!

Let's not get too hastey here. An underground lair is not something to rush into. Unless we overthrow the US government we'd still be bound to their rules. What we need is an island base. That way we could easily be consider a sovereign nation. In order to take over the world with our weather ray, first we need our own nation.

Not only sending my $500 but have put a want ad out for a Henchmen, preferably looking for someone with a metal something or a dwarf, i'm easy.

There needs to be a green screen computer that you have to type the numbers 4,8,15,16,23, and 42 with a timer that resets to 108....lots of government neon lights that flicker on and off, sirens, and 50 years worth of food with the Dharma Project Initiative insignia on it.

Uh, I dunno guys. I think you're all crazy.

In the event you can't re-supply food we could have a potential Tarsus IV-type crisis on our hands. You may find a real Kodos the Executioner. See Star Trek Episode Consceince of the King.

With 45,000 square feet of useable floor space, not including the tunnels, in the sixteen underground buildings, plus a new well and a private above-ground water system, I feel certain we'll be able to find somewhere to 'go'. :yes:

It's entirely possible that these uniform jumpsuits we are getting will render bathrooms meaningless, if you know what I mean. :yuk:

What about ill tempered sea bass? We should be able to put them where the enevitable submarine dock will be located.

Nah. It can be done. Hank Scorpio did it on the Simpsons. Worse comes to worse we can always go the Petoria route.

EGAD! Its the bottle City of Kandor!

We can all be like the miniature Kandorians that from time to time need to leave our bottled city to assist Superman during special emergencies.

Do we need a shrinking ray to be admitted or is this actual size?

Sign me up! I've always wanted to live in an underground base. I even started digging one in our backyard once when I was a kid...with a spoon. I never finished it.

Will the secured areas have retinal scanners? That would be nice. As well as a voice activated elevator. And we should have some kind of torture room for those fools who decide to break in and steal our Megos. I mean, as soon as someone finds out about the awesome collective Mego collection in that place, we'll have some trouble. Oh and also a supercomputer like IRA from Wonder Woman, or maybe Joshua from War Games. And we should install a full sized movie theater for our entertainment, as well as a video arcade and maybe a lazer tag arena.

:grin:

The super computer could be programmed to buy every Mego from E-bay. They way we can control the world and the Mego market.

Oct 16, '07, 12:19 PM
Ok, I want a cool computer like IRA, a transporter, holodeck, food replicator, systems immobilzer (I wanna take over the world, not destroy it!), a weather control machine and a mind control device. And I'll also need cool modes of transportation off the island base like a helicopter or a big sub like the Seaview. :yes:

And I think I could pull off the jumpsuit!:wink_y:

Talking about upgrades already and the house hasn't even been purchased. Are you related to my wife by any chance?

We'd also need to add a holding facility for some horrible mutant monsters, like a giant radioactive land squid and a three-headed giant orangutang with lethal halitosis. It doesn't say evil stronghold without some monsters guarding the place ;)

When I was in the Air force I worked I worked in the missile fields in Nebraska. This old Titan site is a lot more elaborate than the ones I have been at. Our missiles were actually just shot from the site. They were housed about 10 to 15 miles off-site. We controlled 10 nuclear missles there. Our site was a small house topside and below a capsule where 2 officers were housed who fired the missles. We just went to the missiles to check them if the alarm went off. One time we found a gay orgy happening on one site. We arrested 6 dudes who were going to town in a hippy van. Not something I want to relive but it was funny at the time.
