Title: Things I want: 2008 edition
Post by: Philly Fin Fan on August 28, 2008, 08:38:41 pm
Since Dave re-hashed the roll call thread, I figured I'd do the same with the good ol' Things I want lists.
Yeah, yeah, we all want world peace, but what do you REALLY want? Materialistic things only.

I''ll go first. The only thing I can think of right now is a new laptop. I bought my wife a new one last Christmas. We have a slightly older desktop which we use for bill paying and storing pictures/music and stuff, and its fine for that. (I have a company provided laptop, but I'm one of those guys who actually follows the company rules and doesn't use it for personal stuff). I'd like a new laptop so I can load some photo editing software and actually do things quickly!

I want you guys to get a puppy too. Then Gio and I can puppy sit. Which is really code for "Gio will hump him or her."

An English Bulldog or American Bulldog?  If you want an English, I suggest you look up all of the inherited problems they can have.  There are a lot.   

Click on the link and scroll down to "Bulldog".

Jesus....don't get a puppy.  Leave Fau alone...poor guy.

The last thing you need is two cats and a dog in an apartment.  Don't you want the man to enjoy his life and not have to come home to clean up dog shit and have to walk a dog around a parking lot after a hard day's work?  You have the rest of your life to be crazy, just give him 5 years of happiness and no stress.

Why would I give him 5 years of peace?!?!? The poor bastard forfeited that when he proposed.  No sense in starting now.

I'd like:
a gun safe
M1 Garand
new cell phone

I was cleaning out my closet today, and I guess I should add a new Fins jersey to my list, seeing ass all of my jerseys are no longer Fins (except one player, which I don't want to wear).

At least my old school Marino and Gadsden jersey are retro and cool to wear!

Which kayak were you looking at?  I have a yellow Wilderness Outfitters Tarpon 120 that I got this spring.  Before that, I was fishing from a little 9 foot Coleman.  The Coleman is light and easy to carry, but it has no storage and it's not easy to paddle, especially if there is any wind.   I wanted something I could use on our Hill Country rivers, and in the coastal backwaters.  The 120 is a good compromise and I'm really happy with it.

A 24" widescreen LCD monitor


This is 22 inches, but the smaller size is overcome by the great price of $189.00 :-)

I want a new computer.  Mine is about 4 years old, which isn't THAT old, but I use it every single day and it's starting to get a little sluggish.  I probably can make it last another year or two, especially if I re-format.

I want to wait for Windows 7 to come out, though.  It sounds from everything I hear that Vista is going to get left behind, sorta like Windows ME did.

Any speculation on if it's worth the wait?

I would love a new snowblower but the one I have now will be fine.

I also want a 2008 World Series Champions Boston Red Sox hat.  I'll pick one of those up around Halloween.  ;)

After reading this, I immediately thought of those "spoke too soon" misprint championship shirts that were sent to third world nations... I suppose those unfortunate wretches could use some hats as well. ;)

I don't like the "sit on top" ones....I used one alast year on a float trip...It seemd like I would fart,and the Kayak would go one direction,and I'd go the other way.....I do alot of River floating,So Small and Manuverability,plus stability is key for me....

I bought mine from Bass Pro shops right down the road...(the one I never got) Old Town Otter XT Kayaks (except I can't fine the exact one,it had the in back Like the Old Town Dirigo) I don't think I need the XT though,which Since I lost so much weight...(it had a higher weight limit than the Normal otter) The Normal Otters are on sale at Bass pro for like $220...Too bad it's so late in the year...

I agree with you about being able to pick it and carry it..The Otter is only like 40 lbs...
