I cannot believe the annual maintenance cost is only 1.5 million. I wonder what they include in that.I bet it's 100K a month just for utilities. Depending on what they are doing the staffing costs are probably pretty up there as well.There are gonna be a lot of monster truck rally's in Detroit soon!

If you just buy it for fun, seems like the land tax would be the main issue. You can just turn on the lights the few times per year you want to run around on the field.Paintball. That's what it'd be fun for. Or laser tag.

Try to cancel dinner. We're not in the 1700's anymore.So...onto the bisexual stripper?

I'd rename it the Pontiac Biodome and sell the seats to watch Pauley Shore living his life.

This one wasn't a stripper. That was the other roommate and the chick from school, who, by the way, recently broke off her engagement.

Don't ruin it for me, it's not like I knew her!

Is that making fun of a thing that christians put on their pages? I don't have crazy religious friends (well, I have one, but he associates with mentally challenged asians, so he doesn't count), so I've never seen it before.,

Speaking of turbo, we've become quite chummy.As far as the Silverdome, just charge 5000 people a hundo a week to live there, open the concessions to sell food and turn a tidy profit. On second thought, since they can buy houses there for a dollar itmight not work.

I've heard it both ways.*That's a reference that nobody will catch...just move on.

Would you be obligated to maintain it? I'm picturing the episode where Bart Simpson buys a factory for a dollar at an auction.

That was exactly what I had in mind. Especially the part with the coffee machine where the rat comes out first and scuttles off, but Milhouse drinks the coffee anyway as he swings his baton and contemplates how his life has turned out.

You've already got an apartment for that.

I have a dorm room. I do use it for dancing around like a maniac but it isn't as spacious as a sports stadium. I can't run about freely. I can certainly flail around to the Lambada, and the music from Glee, however.

Cheeto seems to be transitioning into a lap cat. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Why don't you make a photo of it, and send it to me?

Yeah, but I'm not sure that counts...would you have caught it if I didn't specifically mention that it was a reference?

I'll try to start leaving my phone within reach.

Even funnier that somebody offered to buy it for $20 million last year.That's why I put the year in, it's insane. I mean, there are people in this thread who could've bought it. How about that for the annual Thanksgiving family football game? "Going to the Silverdome to play a little two-hand touch football. We'll be back for dinner."

LAZERTAG!

Well, no. The reasons are twofold:1. It's a fairly common thing to say and does not stand out as a reference to something.2. I've never seen the show (all hail Google!).I think I'm failing in my goal to speak more authoritatively.Startingggggggg NOW!

They used to open it up for rollerblading around the concourse. Think it was a 1/2 mile around. Then they put a drive-in in the parking lot.The place is huge, sits over 80K which was sucky when you wanted to see a home game on TV, no matter how good they ever got (which 91 was the only year I can remember) they could never sell out all 82K seats.I spent a lot of time at the Silverdome growing up. Pistons played there, saw the Harlem Globetrotters there, tons of Lions games, most memorable was the 91 playoff game vs the Cowboys, and best of all was watching NASL games back in the day. Detroit Express with Trevor Francis (who now does EPL commentary for FSC), Andy Chapman, Brian Tinnion, and others. So hearing that soccer will be back brings back some good old memories.

My Bungles lost a Super Bowl there so my memories aren't that fond.

Wow, I just won a stupid internet argument against a stranger, and his final rebuttal literally made me laugh out loud. This is it, and I quote:

(_1_) <---- This is your assIt is very fatYou are very dumb

I guess that's his way of admitting that I am right, and no matter how much he calls me a cunt and pathetic insults like "spaztastic hyper-ninny" he will still be wrong, and I will still be right. I am satisfied.

Good point, he is clearly even stupid than I had concluded. That'll show him not to claim that almond-shaped eyes are a symptom of autism!Meanwhile, small pleasures in essay-writing: Citing an article entitled "Can an Eagle Hug a Panda?" (I've come to an answer of "Yes, but neither party enjoys it, and they definitely avoid crotch contact")
