Acres of land, so I’d have room for the cars and animals. Books. Computers and every stupid USB device made on earth–I have no idea why I’m such a sucker for USB trinkets but there it is. By animals I’m talking horses, cows, goats, sheep, llamas, dogs, cats and ferrets. I’d like to be accompanied by a herd of critters wherever I go on my extensive holdings. Also, “cars” includes bulldozers and forklifts, which I have an unholy love for. Gyrocopters, too, those are cool.
Similar to runcible spoon, but more. I’d have to have acres of mansion space, filled with intricate electro-mechanical objects on display. Difference engine. Grandfather clock. Baird scanning-disk TV. Airplane jet engine. Anti-tank sabot. Molten lead printing press. Doppler radar set.
Now that I think about it, I think what I really want is a physically touchable 3D Wikipedia.
Right now I end up perusing the hardware store every couple of weeks and buying stuff that’s on sale that I intend to use, but rarely do. If you keep me to under a million, I’ll just end up with the same type of stuff, just more and better brand names.
Camera gear. Lots and lots of camera gear. Lots and lots of lovely expensive camera gear. Mmmmm. I’ll have a Canon EF 600 F/4 IS to start with, please. Make that two. Ah, what the hell; I’ll take three.
Books.
Music.
Probably chase one of my dreams and learn to fly, and end up with a bunch of planes.
My own supercomputer, just for the bragging rights.
Land and houses, I suspect; I’d love to have a huge set of nature reserves all over the world, with tasteful yet comfortable accommodation for me and my minions.
Oh yes, and lots of cute suitably *unoccupied *panties, on my bedroom floor.
Random furniture. Book cases. Desks. Chairs, sofas, beds, tables, etc. I keep thinking I need a table here or a book case somewhere else and my wife has to bring me back to earth.
You’d be surprised how phlegmatic big dogs can be. My Neo puppy (who now weighs distinctly more than I do) will barely lift his head when I get up in the evening. If I pet him, he probably won’t even roll on his back to get belly rubs.
Time. If money were no object, I wouldn’t have to work and I could spend more time with my family and doing things I enjoy.
Oh- and “cute panties” wins the thread, hands down.
Art of all kinds. Since I’d have the room a lot of sculptures and big ass paintings. ( The paintings may not necessarily be displaying an ass but if it did that’s just bonus points.)
