A 5 minute time machine. You don’t have to travel far back in time to be able to NOT say “Those pants don’t make you look any fatter than any other pants,” or to avoid rejection completely. Plus, it would be invaluable at the race track.
I like the time pauser deal. But I think I’d leave it on indefinately. Think about it. You could laze around, read a book, take a nap, and never be late for anything! Dangerous…
But what I REALLY want is for them to hurry up and invent Rosie from the Jetsons. A smart mouthed robot to pick up my socks. Perfect.
And those hover skate boards from Back to the Future. Come to think of it, I think they DID invent those, but they were pulled off the market pretty fast because they were dangerous somehow.
A little persistance goes a long way. Announcing:
“I go on guilt trips a couple of time a year. Mom books them for me.” A custom made Wally .sig!
Esophogeal Molecular Transmorgifier–with a minor out-patient procedure the EMT can be inserted into your throat where it will alter food molecules to ensure a perfectly healthy and balanced diet no matter what you actually put into your mouth.
Exercise Orgasmotron–highly recommended adjunct to the EMT, the EO makes routine exercise pleasurable for 30 to 60 minutes a day.
Inconceivable? I don’t think that word means what you think it does.
A multi-speed metabolism. I could have enhanced speed, strength, and healing abilities when i need it, and the ability to hybernate whenever I need to kill some time.
An onboard neural hard drive.
A car like Kitt from Knight Rider.
An invisibility belt.
A light saber.
For the car: An inertia dampener. Right-hand turns at 90!
Sign me up for a Holo-deck and a Dragon as well or maybe just a Firelizard if a Dragon doesn’t accept me… Pixoid I love Dragonriders of Pern! I can’t wait for the tv show to come out to see what its like and I can’t wait for the next novel either.
Um I’d love to have a robot to clean up after me. I don’t mind cleaning but its a bit of an annoyance. A replicator would be good too but then I’d probably miss cooking… or I couls use the replicator when I don’t feel like cooking and cook when I feel like it. That would work.
Never run from anything immortal, it attracts their attention.
I’d like to have all the cool stuff from The Jetsons!! Wouldn’t it be nice to stand on a conveyor belt and have a machine shower you, dress you, comb your hair, etc. And it would be nice to be able to punch a few buttons and, PRESTO, dinner is instantly fixed and afterwards is instantly cleaned up!!
I also like Lexicon’s idea of a bath that would remove hair permanently. I would remove the hair on my legs, underarms, and bikini area so I would never have to shave again!!!
“But what I REALLY want is for them to hurry up and invent Rosie from the Jetsons.”
They already did—ever take a good look at Barbara Bush?
I’m with the teleporter idea; I love being places, but I hate GETTING there, like poison.
Also, how about those food pills you can gulp down instead of a meal? All you foodies will be horrified, but I’m one of those people who eat to live, rather than vice versa.
A robotic device (still thinking Jetsons here) that would take me from rolling-out-of-bed to ready-to-leave-the-house in an instant. I like getting up, love my job, even like the drive to work. It’s the shower, towel off, get dressed, hair and make up angst, make lunches, put away dishes, feed the cats, ad infinitum crap that I could do without. My mother always told me to seize the day, but that part of the day, frankly, sucks.
Either that or one of those time machines that keeps my daughter from growing up too fast.
