So I was thinking the other night while I was shopping for mundane food items in a mundane food repository that money could be a lot more exciting. Sure, you can use money to own exciting things or make exciting things happen, but money itself is pretty un-exciting. I think part of the problem is the name. Money. What a stupid name. If someone introduced themself to me as "Money", I'd want to punch them in the face.

I think there'd be a lot more excitement over money if they renamed it Action Points, and increased all the amounts by about a thousand. So, one dollar becomes 1000 action points! Holy shit! 1000! That's a lot! Then you could be like, "My new car costs 23,000,000 action points! This hoagie is 3,000 aciton points! It'll cost me 2,453 action points to pass through this tollbooth!" See, it even makes passing through a tollbooth exciting!

In addition, action points should be awarded for performing outrageous and possibly extreme stunts in public areas. This gives talentless slackers a way to earn action points (and possibliy kill themselves!) without the hassle of a 9-to-5 job...which, of course, also pay in action points. The action point system is all about options. The number of ways to earn action points are limited only by your imagination! You can make an action-packed living any way you choose.

Go get em tiger!
