I am just going to have to beg for this for my birthday.

Oh, dang it! Did you have to show me that? Now come build me a room to put it in.
An electric golf cart. For running around my property “up north”
I have a 4-wheel drive atv and a riding lawmower, but I want a golf cart.
And, no, I don’t play golf.
Bobcat (the skid-steer, not the animal).
Nikon D300 (I have a perfectly fine D70, but…)
Electron Microscope.
Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh.
I could go on.
A B-2. I’m actually considering selling a saxophone to buy this thing.
And this, of course.
I totally want to get my parents that for Parents’ Day (yeah, we do it all in one in Korea).
I want this. I think I’d have to lose my spare tire to fit into it, so that’s just another motivation. And it’s not that expensive, either.
You have a dirty squid? :eek:
Ever since I was a kid I’ve been fascinated by Klein bottles. Alas, I can’t justify the expense, so I’ll settle for homemade Möbius strips.
Hate to admit it but I want one of these!
Everything in the Museum Replicas catalog.
And everything on ThinkGeek’s website.
A hovercraft.
Or a dog.
I have a powerful lust for this. One day I shall have my cuckoo clock.
Well, the current thing I haven’t bought is a garden statue of a cat covered in mosaic tiles. It’s $120 and, gosh dang it, I’m not gonna be one of those obsessed single women who buys a lot of cat related crap but I still really want it.
The silly thing I did buy is a deerhead head covered in fish wallpaper. It’s goofy but it’s gonna look cool in my living room.
Well, he’s very handsome and his name is S –
oh, er…
A Nintendo DS. Yes, I’m very behind the times. The thought process goes thus:
“You don’t have that new Game Boy thing. Buy it. It’s cheap.”
“It’s over a hundred dollars, that’s not cheap.”
“But you can afford it.”
“I have a computer.”
“Which you can’t carry around.”
“I have a laptop.”
“Still too big. You can play it anywhere!”
“Like where? When I’m at home I have a computer. When at work I’m WORKING, and I have a computer. When I’m not at work or at home I’m doing something or I’m driving, and I can’t play while driving.”
“If you’re getting a ride somewhere you will have something to do. Remember when you borrowed the PSP?”
“I barely played the PSP because I was knitting and napping on that ride. And I need to pay debts and save money.”
Which ends up winning the self-argument, except that I proceed to spend thirty dollars here, twenty dollars there, and eventually the two hundred or so I would have spent on a DS plus accessories and a game or two ends up becoming a few rather cheap things instead of one pricey one.
I…umm… :eek: good luck with that!
I really want an embroidery machine, which I don’t need. At all. But sometimes I just have the urge to monogram all my underwear or embroider a little tiny Cthulu in place of the usual alligator on a polo shirt. Ooh, or a knitting needle and yarn!
See? An embroidery machine would not be in my best interest, because I’d treat it like some people treat Bedazzlers.
I know exactly where it’s gonna go, I can’t wait.
Definitely something like this.
A new, expensive saddle. Yes, I have horses and yes, I already have an acceptable saddle to ride in. Dammitt, I want a new, expensive, super-comfy top of the line saddle. Just 'cause.
