Given what happened at the last Doper initiation, what did you expect? 
[Doxa 750T](DOXA | SUB750T |GMT Sharkhunter | ) I just love this watch
It’s not that silly, but I want final scratch .
I really don’t need it, but it’s very cool, and WOULD actually save me money in the long run…
Ever since I handled one at Gander Mountain, I’ve been lusting after a double barrel “coach” shotgun (so called because it was the short-barreled, easy-to-handle weapon usually used to protect stagecoaches, from the “shotgun” seat). Can’t think of one thing I’d do with it, but it was lovely to hold, and it’d be a blast to shoot some water-filled jugs with it.
A bunny, puppy, or kitten. I’m not choosy. Just a cute little fuzzy companion. Sadly, my appartment doesn’t allow ‘em, and neither does my budget, so I have to go to my friends’ house for my ‘dog fix’ at least once a week.
It’s only 17 inches per side, not 17 feet! All you need to do is rope off a small square on your kitchen counter, make it a shrine to the Lego chess set, and never let anyone put anything on that part of the counter again.
Reading this thread has inspired me with several new wants:
I think my wife could probably use the Zen Alarm clock, and my kids the squid soap, proposed by olivesmarch4th; the huge Swiss army knife mentioned by nivlac was my previous secret silly fantasy purchase; Sunspace’s chain mail T-shirt and pinkfreud’s Klein bottle are cool too.
Queen Bruin, there’s a store that sells cuckoo clocks in Alpine Village in Torrance. We got our cuckoo clock from there, but it’s a simple model, not the fancy one you show. I remember as a kid really wanting one of those fancy models. Maybe one day, when I have a mountain lodge…
akira5822, your link didn’t work for me. Did you mean this watch?
tremorviolet, all I can say, along with bouv, is… good luck with that.
Miss Purl McKnittington, I’m sure you can come up with some cool Doper shirts you can make for us once you get your embroidery machine.
I have no idea where I’d put it.
The subject matter is more or less “meh” for me.
Mrs. R would have conniption fits.
But I’d sure like to build it, just to admire the engineering of the kit:

A pair of patent leather Louboutin Mary Janes. I can’t justify spending two months’ rent on a pair of shoes, but dear lord they are beautiful.
Do you knit or crochet? If you do, for just a few dollars in yarn you can have your very own wearable one ![]()

I didn’t want anything except a new car… until you showed me that damn chess set.
For some reason, I’ve been lusting after the Ford Maverick “Grabber” lately. I confessed my lust to my gearhead brother, who I expected to quash my desire. Instead, he said, “That sounds cool. I could probably get into a project like that. In fact, you can get these awesome crate engines right from Ford now…” Dammit, Rog, you’re supposed to be the voice of reason!
Oh boy, where to start.
First, one of these paired up with one of these just because, well, that would sound so unbelieveably awesome.
Then, since I’m on a roll, I’ll add one of these bad mama jammas and then top it all off with the first one on this page, the boots listed as the Queen Pin Deluxes, one of these for each pinky and as many tattoos as I can cram on myself. I have good taste you see.
I want a steampunked computer.
I’m not a birder, but I love these etchings sososo much. I also love enormous books. I put it on my wedding registry (I’m only making the darn thing under duress from my mom, so I might as well put some crazy crap on it, right? I’d treasure it for ever and ever…) so who knows?
I want the entire Palace of Versailles!
I want this little ol’ thang…
I can’t play, but I’d certainly learn if I got this. Same goes for this
and this , only with a red finish.

I want a tractror. I need a tractor. It doesn’t have to be a huge John Deere. Just a Ford 8N or a Farmall or something. My neighbor charges $100/hr to bushhog, with a 2 hour minimum. I just can’t afford that. But the cedar trees are taking over my pasture, and the horses won’t graze where it’s overgrown.

They have this at work in the gift shop-it’s a plush tree that comes with a couple little stuffed animals-a fox, a bear, a wolf, and I think a raccoon. It’s just so cute and well, different.
And I’m a sucker for stuffed animals.
In the same theme:
Oh, and one of those little guide ponies.
