I'm going to win the lottery tonight $146.2 million dollars. I'd like to buy you a present. What would you like?
A pet duck, to love, honor, and obey, 'til death do us part. I'd like to be able to bring it to work, too, so maybe a nice leash in a deeply polished cordovan, too. Also a pair of shoes to match the leash, size US 11½. And duck food.
Danelectro electric 12-string. Or a nicer one, if you're feeling really generous, but I liked the Dano that I played in the shop the other day, and that leaves more for ducks and trips to Spain.
I don't know if you've ever tried one, cobra!, but you should try out a Jerry Jones Dano clone; they're serious, finely crafted instruments and you can get a 12-string in regular or short scale.
If TPS' lottery winnings are paying for it, a Jerry Jones is the way to go.
I'd like you to do something genuinely interesting with the money that makes the world a more whimsical or humane place, rather than just build a butt-ugly house that looks like an office complex on the benches of the Wasatch range east of my house.
And you can pay off my mortgage and student loans. And a Tesla sports car would be cool.
TPS, you're awesome for this generous offer. Do you think you could get me some medical insurance with good prescription coverage and low co-pays? That would be nice. Also, if you could pay for a trip to the dentist and for me to have my four impacted wisdom teeth out, I'd be forever grateful.
A huge MetaChat party in an exotic location. I'd vote for Oz, but the Ozzies might feel bad not to get to go to, say, Tahiti. Or maybe we could all visit Taz, if the fires are out. Thanks, Oh Pink One, for the lovely offer, and can we have the party in November or December? Work will be less crazy then.
oooh. well, there's this house about a mile from my apartment I've had my eye on. I'd like that, please. And maybe a fix-up fund. (but hey, the house is only $40K!)
I want an ipod. Also, I want to hire a team of ninjas working in concert with a large radioactive monster to take out Charter Communications and I mean wipe them from the face of the earth. kthxby!
There's a quarter section with two private lakes and a spring for sale near here. I promise to hold semi annual bunny meetups and to accept all peak oil bunny refugees. Bring your own vegetable seeds.
