"We're going to the water mattress"

What does one do if one wins a lottery of $2 million and tries to hostilly take over the company he works for? (say the company he works for is like mine and is a post 2007 California internet startup)


"Well, you'd have to convince at least one of the founders, and all of the VC's" says one of his antagonist, "and you probably can't do that with $2 million at this point."


Hmm... I thought...

"I'll make them an offer they can't refuse" said I falling into our typical fantasy roll playing tone at work, "$2 million can't buy much stocks here, but it sure still can buy some muscles. And if that fails, we'll goto the mattress... In fact! given that we're in San Francisco, we'll go to the water mattress."

Anyways, just felt like that conversation was kind of funny and worthy of the copyblog fame. Let it be known, that we planned to go to the water mattress in San Francisco Internet underworld....
