I found the Swedish army versions even warmer and not that expensive. Lined with real sheepfleece. Heavy as hell.
Sitnam “the Major Surplus and Survival Catalog (a very cool store in Gardena CA)” has them.
It has been long established that trasers are a desirable and yet mostly inattainable item for SDMB users.
Personally, though, I’d kind of like a Curta calculator, or an RCA CED player and discs, mostly the latter, but not enough to actually shell out the time, effort, and cash to get either (To quote Peter Griffin, “Ye-heah, you wish I loved you that much!”).
I have a Traser watch, what’s the big deal?
I was surfing around and once saw a bracelet made out of sterilized marijuana seeds. Haven’t been able to find it again since.
Globe Bar. Not a bad price either.
I want the original Topo Gigio doll from the Ed Sullivan Show, and the original Rizzo the Rat muppet. Not reproductions, or dolls. I want the actual ones that were on the shows. I have no idea if they are even still around.
In the US, it seems, tritium is more strictly regulated than in parts of Europe where they have “frivolous” items such as key chains. We can get gun sights and watches here, but not cool toys.
Some mumbo-jumbo about nuclear weapons and whatnot. “Bah” I say. Just further evidence that the NRC is destroying our right to radioactive doodads.
I want a Corvette Hardtop for my convertible (85-96 will fit). Unfortunately, the shipping’s the key and nobody in or around Colorado ever sells them. It’d let me bypass the NHRA rules for a convertible, and they just flat look cool.
I’ll either find a gorgeous one on ebay for $1200 on the coast, or a crap one for $600 plus shipping
Shipping will be in excess of $300, I’m certain.
Further, it’s not like I usually have $1200 burning a hole in my pocket.
I want to get a credit card with the number:
2718 2818 2845 9045
It validates according to the Luhn Algorithm so it’s a valid number. But to get it would involve setting up my own bank with the right BIN to issue me the card.
Not wholly impossible but slightly unrealistic. Would have been cool though.
I don’t understand the joke. (On a side note, do all ID numbers follow that algorithm? I checked my DL number, and it adds up to 42 instead. )
I want a bubble pipe. You know, something that looks similiar to what Sherlock Holmes would use, only it blows bubbles.
Anyone?
You rock. It’s on it’s way.
I too, want a miniature display tent. But not nearly as much as my big brother- I think it’s 3rd on his list of difficult-to-obtain things, after World Domination and A Toaster Oven and A Deep Fryer- the cooking implements themselves are easy to get, but counterspace for them is not.
I want all of the episodes of Zoobilee Zoo, in good condition, on DVD, but that’s not likely to happen, especially not legally. The only products I can find so far are “based on the show,” not the show itself, or on VHS, or both. Since I own neither a TV nor VCR, I can only watch tapes at other people’s houses, and that sort of diminishes the effect of getting your favorite childhood show back. (Thank goodness for YouTube, which at least has bits and pieces of it.)
I want the plug for my glass rolling pin so that I can fill it with ice and water and use it for pie crust.
I want signed first-editions of all my favorite books, most especially Nancy and Plum by Betty McDonald. I’d settle for an earlier edition of Nancy and Plum in good condition with dust jacket- I’m still holding out hope for my mother’s copy to reappear from the “safe place” she hid it in after I was treating it “unkindly”, as 9 year-old girls often do. (I would fall asleep reading it and it would fall under my bed, that sort of thing.) She hasn’t been able to find it for the past 10 years.
I want a Buttonman with a quite ridiculous passion.
Unfortunately, they were released in a very limited edition, and everyone else wanted them too.
I’m now trying to persuade the people who made them to do another limited edition - a limited edition of one. That would be enough. Just so I can have my Buttonman.
I tried finding one of those about a year ago and as far as I can tell they do not exist. Best I could do is to get a normal pipe and put some water mixed with dish soap in it, but even that just sort of bubbles over rather than blowing bubbles into the air as I would prefer.
I was reminded of this while cleaning my room:
The Japanese candy Pinky. A friend’s dad always brought it back for us whenever the Army sent him to Japan, but since he’s retired our source has dried up. I can’t find it online for purchase, either.
I always wanted one of those miniature tents they use for displays too. I thought they would be cute for the cats- not as if any of my cats would fit in them. 
I would like to have my entire mineral collection to museum quality specimins or better. However, I have been to the Tuscon Mineral/Gem show (to the dealers part before the actual show) and holy crap some of that stuff is so expensive. One dealer had azurite stalactites (maybe 10 to 12 inches in height) the cheapest one was around $125,000. They were spectacular.
Surrender Dorothy, here is a place that sells MASH 4077 t-shirts
Thank you!
They don’t seem to have my favorite flavor in stock (grape) and the two flavors they do have are fruits that my friend is allergic to, but some Pinky for me is better than no Pinky for either of us.
Like a bucket seat? I had two different buddies in college that had some as their living room furniture. Great for playing video games. One was a bench seat from a Bronco, I don’t remember what the buckets were from.
I know you are looking for one, that’s why I want one first: to show you up.
