Goofy things that you want.

Bah the EEG machine that I thought I could afford was actually an add on for one of the more expensive machines. 500 bucks isn’t worth the money for world domination.

Irae: try www.semcycle.com

Swampbear: That is GREAT! Would you crossdress all of the humanoid yard art? Hell it would be funny even if you dressed up the animals in tutus or other assorted clothing.

swampbear, are you the guy who decorates the street medians around here? One median had Eddie Murphy riding a pink flamingo, along with other stuff.
I want an Allison V-1710 engine. Better yet, the engine out of a Messerschmitt ME-109*. Actually, I want the time, tools and materials to build everything except the pistons, valves and bearings out of billet stock, and the know-how to get it to run at full power without blowing up.

After that, I want to build a bucket-T to put the engine in.
*[sub]Just because it’s a REALLY BIG, cool looking engine. The crankshaft is on top, with the cylinders splaying out below.[/sub]

A lightsabre. No really - a replica lightsabre. Obviously, I can’t get a real one, but I’d really like one of the replicas. You can buy them online but some are really expensive. Or, for the more crafty, you can make one. I’d like to go the making route too, but Mr. Snicks might think I’m nutz. But that’s what’s goofy that I really want right now.

Snicks

A Kilauea Lava Lamp.

I don’t know what you do for a living, but if you want to make a replica lightsabre, then take a course in machine shop at a tradeschool. Based on the mention of a Mr. Snicks, I’m assuming your female, which means that you can get all kinds of grants for being a woman entering a male dominated field, plus you’ll have all kinds of job offers from the moment you register. In most cases, the prospective employer will offer to pay your tuition for you. (I’m in school to be a machinist and my shop instructor and I got to talking about how there weren’t any women in the class, and he told me what happens when women do take the class.)

I want a Mig-15! I watched a History Channel program about the plane. I’ve always thought it was kinda cool, but they had footage of a Russian aerobatic team using this plane. They had the coolest paint jobs: red on top on white on the bottom. They’re not that expensive either (as planes go). They can be had for less than $100,000, I think. Oh yeah, I would need a buddy to have one with the same paint job so we could do aerobatics. Maybe mock dogfights too. That would be the coolest!

psssst- buddy, can you spare 100grand???

I want…

An English police whistle and a box of drink monkeys (little plastic monkeys that hang on your glass).

Well… I’m originally from Seattle meself so I don’t THINK it has anything to do with Florida, but you never know! And I’d settle for some color other than red in a pinch. One day, one day…

If this were The Twilight Zone, Guin, you’d get your wishes . . . Only to find out that Noah Wylie was repelled by your tail, which also kept Kate Winslet’s costumes from fitting. Then you’d break your glasses.

Me . . . I want the complete bound Variety Obituaries collection (1905–1988), and some prescription lorgnettes.


V, I swear you and I must be related. (Isn’t that what we discussed in another thread some weeks ago?) I freakin’ love Archie McPhee! I’ve got their calendar on my door, of course.

Otherwise: My friend P. and I want darn near everything from the gift shop at www.littlealeinn.com. I particularly want the Alien Elvis postcards!

I would also like a lava lamp. :slight_smile:

The one goofy thing that I wanted, I got:

A stuffed toy of the Pokemon character Cyndaquil.
(Gotta Catch 'Em All!)

I just had to have it. I don’t know why. I guess it’s because I find him so damned cute!

He looks like this:

Only without the fur for the “fire” on his back. The “fire” on mine is stuffed as well, and he’s just adorable.

I want someone on television or the radio to mention my website.

I want to be on the Conan O’Brien show (audience or guest, I don’t really care.)

Pink Bunny Slippers.

I’ve wanted a pair ever since I saw the Incredible Hulk with a pair in a comic about 10 or 12 years ago. Betty got them for him.

Peter David, you’re a riot!

I want a railgun capable of putting some object into orbit.

I want my own think tank, mansion and a yacht.

Heh. What, me? I’m harmless, I really am! Look, no Necronomicon up my sleeve! It’s just that cats look really cute in clothing, trust me. Plus, they like it! :smiley:

okay I’m going to Lowes next payday.
just to see the bolt cutters ,
but while I’m at it, I would like some of the snakcs I ate in Budapest. Cheeze Balls and bacon flavored things. And The liquid Mars Bar drink sold cold.
jo Isten

I want almost everything from www.stupid.com and www.thinkgeek.com

I really want a full-scale model of an Apache helicopter for my back yard.

Really.

Maybe I could use it as a potting shed, or a fountain …

But I really want one. They’re cute.

There is this woman at work that is really goofy and… What? Not that kind of want?
Never mind.
