How about pooling money together and buying an island? Then we can make our own government and shoot all day long. In order to live on the island you have to own a gun of some sort...any other ideas?
(yes, I realize this is highly improbable, but what's wrong with some fun and imagination?):neener:

I've always wanted to buy my own private island.
No dues for staying there, but you must work at least 40 hours a year on the Zombie Defense oupost netwok. :neener:

We'll take over that big rock floating around our planet. What's it called again? The moon! That's it!

Lots of Islands around Alaska for sale, 150 acres for 1.8 million.
EDIT: LOTS for sale around Maine, 500 acres for $1.8 million.
Only issue is these are under control of the governments, we need one way out at sea where no one controls it.

We'd also have to keep it relatively secret, or some government or another would find some reason to nuke the island off the face of the earth.
But while we're having fun; I like the Somalian Tortuga bit. Let's take 'em. I'm sure some of our newest most generous politicians would be willing to offer funding for some double fifties, amphibious vehicles and battleships. :neener:

My girlfriend's father had a chance to go on a deal on an Island with his business partners.
1 million dollars for a big island off the coast of Belize, where he works. At that point (the '80s), Belize wasn't a hotspot for tourism, so he thought "What's the point?"
He would have had to pony up 10% of the price. His business partners would get the rest.

As I stated earlier I'm all for taking over Pirate Island. I see a major problem THR members are disproportionally male. As a recently single guy I think we would need to recruit more women first.
