Things I Want: A Continuing Series

[c9]

• A small lottery win. Just $10,000 or so. I'm not greedy.
• That $539,500 house we saw down the street. OK maybe a bit greedy.
  
• A new keyboard and mouse.
• Clearer skin.
• World peace.
• The anti-theft device from my new (slightly NSFW) purchase removed before it's shipped next time. Like seriously.
  
• A coke or something.

The anti-theft device from my new NSFW purchase removed before it's shipped next time. Like seriously.

::blink:: Huh?

I ordered some leather from www.Priape.com (NSFW) but it came with the magnetic thing attached, those things that can only be removed at the store and deter shoplifters.

You know, you could want a million and not be greedy. That would score you the house and you'd have some leftovers to get more NSFW purchases. ;-)

Oh you crazy Americans. With your $350,000,000,000,000,000,000 lottery prizes. Here the biggest prize is always $38,001.00, by Royal Edict from 1922.

ROFL!! HA! Cute...

You know, you could road trip it to NY and get Powerball tix once in a while...

p/s - are you serious about the $38,001? :-/

Totally not serious. But seriously, $40M was our biggest ever.

I don't think we can win US lotteries.

I could always sign the ticket for you and you could give me a big enough cut to pay off my student loans and buy a new car... and rent an apartment closer to work... Trust me: it would only end up being 1 or 2% of the loot.

p/s - $38 million is still a huge chunk of change.

Oh absolutely. I often daydream about the idea of making lottery winnings always be $1,000,000, and just giving away as many prizes as necessary. Mostly because this means I'd have better chances.

Re: ROFL!! HA! Cute...

[putaindemerde.livejournal.com]

Better chances because of better karma because of all that giving away?

Re: ROFL!! HA! Cute...

[c9.livejournal.com]

All the giving away of course.

I highly recommend this keyboard/mouse pair, or a similar model (Logitech makes a million of 'em -- preferably one with a rechargable mouse). Do NOT cheap out and get the BenQ ones. They look cool but the range is awful.

[c9.livejournal.com]

Um no. But thanks. My price range is $15. I don't treat them well, so I'm not going to waste $80. :)

What can you possibly do to a keyboard? :)

[simplisticton.livejournal.com]

...er... "What can you possibly do to a keyboard that an 18 month old can't?" is what I meant to ask.

[c9.livejournal.com]

That's true. They do have a magical force field protecting themselves.

[simplisticton.livejournal.com]

Well for $80, they'd better.
