Gideon FMD (12:10:42 AM): I think when I'm infinitely rich I'll buy a digital projector and lease the new films when they come out, so I can watch them sort of whenever in my private home theater
Gideon FMD (12:10:57 AM): in space
Avilister (12:11:49 AM): Project them onto the moon or something. Its all silvery, good screen quality
Gideon FMD (12:11:54 AM): yup
Gideon FMD (12:12:03 AM): and I'll detonate nukes in the atmosphere to clear any cloud cover
Gideon FMD (12:12:45 AM): of course, I'd have to charge people who look at the moon while I'm watching my film
Gideon FMD (12:13:05 AM): or just arrest them with my secret police
Gideon FMD (12:13:17 AM): but most of them would go blind when my nukes go off
Gideon FMD (12:13:26 AM): so I guess that's taken care of
Gideon FMD (12:13:31 AM): but how about a sound system?
Avilister (12:14:45 AM): Something seismic?
Gideon FMD (12:15:25 AM): ooh
Gideon FMD (12:15:27 AM): good idea
Avilister (12:15:58 AM): There are probably some hazards involved - eruptions, unstoppable tremors, and the like
Gideon FMD (12:16:03 AM): not my concern
Avilister (12:16:06 AM): but damn, the bass
Gideon FMD (12:16:33 AM): how about a giant, carefully calibrated series of magnets that cause the earth's core to vibrate appropriately
Gideon FMD (12:16:58 AM): causing global earthquakes, eruptions, and tsunamis, but amazing sound quality
Avilister (12:17:03 AM): That may do the trick. Then you're not messing with the tectonics as much
Gideon FMD (12:17:31 AM): of course, it might confuse people who can't see the moon at the time
Gideon FMD (12:17:52 AM): but i think they'll be fleeing for their lives too much to care about the intricacies of my theater experience
Avilister (12:17:56 AM): They'll probably be too busy worrying about their terrible radiation burns to care too much
Gideon FMD (12:18:00 AM): right
Gideon FMD (12:18:03 AM): from the nukes
Avilister (12:18:31 AM): well, yes, and gaining the high ground to get away from the tsunamis and lava flows
Gideon FMD (12:18:36 AM): hmm, so what about when the moon and the sun are up at the same time, but i want to watch TV?
Avilister (12:19:02 AM): That's a much more complicated scenario
Gideon FMD (12:19:18 AM): I think another solution to the screen to watch it on is appropriate
Gideon FMD (12:19:41 AM): I'll release vast amounts of gasses and dusts into the atmosphere, creating a global, thick, stable layer of cloud
Gideon FMD (12:19:53 AM): underwater nukes could provide the necessary vapor
Gideon FMD (12:20:23 AM): then I could just blow up the moon
Gideon FMD (12:20:25 AM): since I don't need it
Avilister (12:20:48 AM): Its tidal pull would probably mess up the new screen anyway
Gideon FMD (12:20:53 AM): yeah
Gideon FMD (12:20:58 AM): the sun is also a problem
Gideon FMD (12:21:07 AM): it could heat up the cloud cover
Gideon FMD (12:21:12 AM): meh, just make the cloud cover thicker
Gideon FMD (12:21:39 AM): use big lasers to vaporize the whole ocean
Gideon FMD (12:23:18 AM): then I'd enslave the earth's population and turn every inch of dry land into movie sets, so that new movies would come out every day to feed my desire for entertainment

Wasn't there a band in 'The Hithchhikers Guide' that did this sort of stuff? I think they were banned from playing.

You know I just read this post again, and realized something...Gideon is actually talking to someone else. Jeezus Gideon, you have like ten lines to each of one of of Steven's. SO really this was like one big PM with yourself.
That is quiet an accomplishment buddy. Congratulations, you're a winner.
