For 100 days, I'd treat all posters with respect, even ___, ____, and ____, and won't be a smartass towards them, which they can't detect anyway which is why it is so funny. 100 days might be pushing it. Under no circumstances would I host a sleepover party for a dozen five-year-old girls, though.
I would buy a wardrobe of 3 piece suits, and not read the part of this thread where the meaning of the topic got misconstrued
What would I do for $4M? Absolutely nothing. It seems to work for Van Horn and Magloire. There's so many guys out there doing something, and not earning anything.
For $4M I would wear these boots and stomp these puppies to death. I'm not kidding, either. And I like puppies. A lot.

That's a good point, Petey, but I don't think he will make much more money after this season, so he will have to live with close to this amount of cash the rest of his life I assume, thus bringing down the total.
