I want a gorilla suit. Not some cheapie one…a really cool Rick Baker-type thing with five-foot long arms and a fully articulated face. And a beach-front cottage in Mendocino where I can run around in my gorilla suit and not get hassled by The Man. ---

Oh, I also want: an X-Wing fighter. A REAL one that really flies and I can go into space and stuff. My own Artoo unit. A REAL lightsaber with a purple blade to rule the world. ---

I want an island stronghold. This would do nicely. [www.vladi-private-islands.de/sales\_islands/](http://www.vladi-private-islands.de/sales_islands/) sites/3b\_dark.html A private submarine such as this. [http://www.ussubs.com/Luxury\_folder/lux.phoenix.html](http://www.ussubs.com/Luxury_folder/lux.phoenix.html) And finally I would like my own farm stocked completely with miniature animals of all varieties. I would hire only very very short farm hands and build to scale buildings. I would then stride about the place as if I were a Titan. That is all. ---

I want: A pet alpaca. One of those Bear in the Big Blue House toys that does the cha-cha and sings. A pair of pink ugg-boots. I ordered a pair online once, but they were too small so I had to send them back. ---

Always thought a pair of those would be quite cool 🆒 Failing that then a tank to simplify parking. ---

Want a Global Positioning Satellite device on my watch. Ya, and combined with an altimeter, compass and temperature guage. Great for backpacking and trekking, which I haven’t done for about 10 years now. ---

Cards, “I want my own think tank, mansion and a yacht.” That would be good if it was all in one. A tank mansion yacht would look awfully funny. ---

Well, ThinkGeek has added to my list, but… I want a Swedish Chef Kitchen Playset with Lobster Bandits. It’s coming out in September of this year, so I’m told. The previous head of my list was a full set of Mattel Tuf-Stuf alphabet blocks, but I got those on eBay last year. ---

Oh, where to begin? [Him.](http://web.archive.org/web/20011022035901/http://www.nightmarefactory.com/roswell.html) (With Cryo-tube, of course) My own movie theater. With MY choice of movies. (The original _Metropolis_ (With accompanying organist) in a double feature with the _South Park_ movie, for the premiere. That should give a movie critic or two an aneurysm) And if I was a multibillionaire, I’d have Boeing custom build a 2707 SST for me. The first version, with the swing-wings and fixed position nose. Outfitted in luxury. I’d feel like Johnny Quest. 🆒 And a secret genetic experimentation facility hidden in the amazon rain forest Let’s just say that in about 20 years, the bio-ethics people would be VERY upset. And a bunch of “furries” would be VERY happy. 😉 😃 I’d also like to decide who lives and who dies. That always seemed like a lark. Top THAT. 🙂 Ranchoth (“They’re coming to take me away, he he, ho ho, ha ha…”) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ultrafilter \* > \*\*I want a railgun capable of putting some object into orbit. \*\* Not possible with just a railgun. It’d have to launch a guided rocket, which I suppose qualifies as ‘some object’, but makes things more complicated. What would you do with the ability to launch bullets into space? I want a giant solar powered ground effect seaplane, that I can skim around the ocean on. Helios, but bigger and lower.
