Hello, everyone. I wanted to stick my head in and apologize for my absence. My weblog will return once more webspace is available on Pero's server.

I wanted to get something up so that the links on the pages stay in place.

Thanks, and I'll be back ASAFP.

+ + + 10 things I really want but could never have. + + +
As Assigned to us by LT:

1. The original Back to the Future DeLorean: My favorite movie, a really cool car and wouldn't YOU like to travel in time? I don't think the original owners are willing to sell; no matter how much cash I offer them. Maybe they don't want me attempting to alter history.

2. F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Great Gatsby (1925) First edition in the rare dust jacket: The dust jacket is what makes this a rare find. I think the only way I will ever get one is if I steal it. I think one is on tour somewhere in Europe.

3. A Northrop T-38 Talon Air Force jet trainer: You could travel quickly in style -- anywhere you could possibly imagine. There are a couple of companies that sell these to the public. I think I might have a file with both the CIA and FBI for some reason. I'm probably on these companies "do not sell" list.

4. The Playboy Mansion: I hope you don't have to ask why. I'm a guy! This place will probably never be for sale.

5. The worlds most powerful computer, The Earth Simulator in Japan: Can you imagine how fast and how much porn I could download and store? Even if the Japanese gave this to me, I have no way to move it.

6. A bottle of every type of beer ever made: I would never have to buy another brew. then again I would probably display them, full, in a custom bar at "the mansion". Obtaining quite a few of these wouldn't be that difficult but there are probably others that are not produced anymore.

7. A go-cart track: Fun for all ages. Where else can you drink and drive and not get arrested. This one is attainable but most likely would be taken away because I would find a way to get arrested. Actually it's already happened.

8. Free lifetime supply of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies: I absolutely love those things. I could eat a whole box with a glass of milk in one sitting. If anyone finds a contest I can enter that offers this prize, please let me know. I don't know anyone that is willing to even give one box away for free.

9. Bill Clinton's infamous cigar: Now, why on Earth would I want this, you ask? We, it's kind of like the 10 Commandments. We know they existed, but we can't find either one; and we have no actual proof that they were real. Somehow I believe that wild Bill most likely smoked the cigar. Or maybe he misplaced it somewhere. :)

10. The original stone tablets of the 10 commandments: This would make a great coffee table or two. A head board for my bed? I seriously doubt that they will ever be found. Then again if Geraldo Rivera can find Al Capone's vault I'm sure we can hire him to look for these. We may be just as disappointed on live TV when Geraldo comes out of a dark ancient cavern with these famous words scribbled on a yellow Post-It note. Of course if we find where Moses hid them maybe we'll find Billy's cigar.
