[banquo's_bumble_puppy]

[Maksutov]

For the Winter Solstice?

World peace with justice for all, and the extermination of flambeaus.

For Hanukkah?

World peace with justice for all, and the extermination of flambeaus.

For xmas?

World peace with justice for all, and the extermination of flambeaus.

For every day of the year?

World peace with justice for all, and the extermination of flambeaus.

Actually the former can't happen without the latter.

[Madcat]

I want... free time, good grades and a healthy social life.

Can't be purchased huh? Figures. #-o

[Kizarvexis]

New job. Mine was gifted to someone in Singapore.

[LynnF1]

1. for everyone to base their lives on, as I believe Bertrand Russell said, knowledge and love.
2. a lease on a new C6 Corvette.
3. a girlfriend I had some 13 years ago.
4. my depression to go away.

I may actually get one of these - that'll probably have to do!

[frogesque]

Christmas? Bah! Humbug!

Actually I do like Christmas, just wish it didn't start in September.

Peace, quiet an my-own company...

They balance that out here in the States by having Christmas in July sales.

[Spacewriter]

Peace, freedom, all my bills paid.

To make fun of this, a car dealership near me once sponsored a "Fourth of December" sale --- again only relevant here in the US.

Shouldn't the order be reversed? 8)

Oh, I'll take them in any order we can get them!

[Normandy6644]

For people to ask for material objects and not abstract concepts.

[Tobin Dax]

Well, Normandy, my two front teeth are material objects. (No on has said that one yet?)

Hmm, I'll have to mention to my sister that a car dealership is celebrating her birthday. 8-[

[space cadet]

I just want finals to be over.

And mass quantities of sleep.

[Wolverine]

I celebrate Newtonmas instead... however... anyone perplexed by how to squander large amounts of disposable income is more than welcome to throw a rig like this my way.

[Andromeda321]

Happiness and the health to enjoy it with.
An REU for next summer and a decent GPA- the Christmas present I give myself, or at least the latter.
Oh, and an iPod is what I told my 'rents when they asked (my bro and sis got them two years ago). I wouldn't mind one of those either. :wink:

[mickal555]

I want all those no-material thing as well as a
Nagler eypiece wide and narrow field no wait the who lot of them
A hydrogen alpha filter
a 50mw green laser
A CCD camera
um
Yeah that'll do for now

[crateris]

I like to see a new iMac G5 under my tree. But then again, my Mead 6600 reflector is getting long in tooth........

[Madcat]

What will you do with the laser?

[Stregone]

I want one of these \/

[Normandy6644]

I could totally go for this. I'll post a picture too just for fun.



Beautiful. 8)

[mickal555]

What will you do with the laser?

Point out constillations
burn things
crash ariplanes (j/k so don't arrest me any FBI people)
etc....

You might be able to burn your retina with a 50 mW laser, but not much else. Unless you blinded the pilot, you couldn't crash airplanes either. I'd love a green laser pointer too, but right now I have other priorities. I just discovered ebay and it's ski season. =D> =D>

[Zachary]

What will you do with the laser?

Flash it at boy racers and watch them flip when they think they've been caught by a speed camera? :wink:

Thats what I ment I think a 50MW will burn a plastic bag nothing else though

I am with T. O.

[snowcelt]

By the way, when T.O. stated his fav: all I saw was a blank.

After review, I see that what I said has too be reviewed. I still want this!

How would that work? pointing a laser up into a clear sky will show very little if any beam, to see the beam you need smoke or fog to reflect it back ... so you wouldn't see the constelations. (or am I missing something?)
( I use my little red laser mainly to drive the cat wild! graet fun! )
