Amen to this. I actually found a little 9" CRT TV in a closet recently and fired it up. Still works! The best part was the warm hiss of static on the screen; this one is old enough that it doesn’t throw up a blue screen if there’s no signal, so I can actually see the static as it tries in vain to find an analog signal that no longer exists.
I could use a new Thermos.
I’d wonder where the hell the rest of my money went.
Pay my student loans, because I know the minute I do that they’ll finally announce a general amnesty for everyone!
If it were the Valerie I know, I would buy her a house to hold all those flowers and her own fabric store.
Maybe not the radar detector, but the speed trap updates in some of the map programs comes close!
Hamburger sandwich and french fried potatoes.
Like, a lot of them.
68 posts, and no one has even questioned how much a “banker’s salary” is? It was an important part of the equation, even when you already had a billion dollars.
I mean, my wife used to work at a bank for nearly 20 years and never even got to 50k a year.
Billion dollars: I’d clone Ed Wood Jr for the copious bounty of bad movies he would provide, on which MST3K can continue to thrive.
Banker’s Salary: Every year, another movie or five. Ed knows how to keep those costs down.
I’d crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women.
