If money was no object: (in no order)

1. 50" 1080p 120hz Samsung LCD

2. 5,000 sf house in the Inner Loop of H-town - and could still have my son go to the same school

3. Cribs in Hong Kong, Australia, Dubai and Costa Rica - and Albuquerque, New Mexico

4. A militarized version of a G-wagen and a camo-clad Humvee - with armor and the push-button start

5. A full-size theater in my house - complete with a concession stand, stadium seating and all my video game consoles on a platform that's constantly cooled and raises and lowers out of sight

6. A 727 with a jacuzzi, king-sized bed and a kitchen - and a shower - and comfy leather couches, LCDs - like Tony Stark

7. An F-14 Tomcat, MiG-29 Fulcrum and a P-51 Mustang with dual cockpits

8. Ferrari 612, Porsche Carrera GT, Lamborghini Diablo, Maybach coupe and a '64 Impala SS ragtop

Now, what I can afford and may get within a year or so: likely just one/two things from the list below:

1. Digital SLR - Nikon

2. 42" 1080p LCD or plasma

3. 2009/2010 Tahoe or used Porsche Carerra - or a Boxster

4. 3,000 sf crib - with a media room

5. Good health

6. A cruise for our anniversary

7. A trip to Bora Bora

I want those vinyls I know my parents got me for xmas.

Also might want a hat and some cute mittens from this store I really like. I know no one got me this though.

Vinyls = win.

I have some vinyls too - but a lot of stuff is still packed up. I have a turntable too - packed up. I used to have it hooked up in my old house, but not here.

If religion and money were no object for me and, I would want:

Some new clothes, nothing too fancy.

A Netflix STB.

um...

I don't really want more material stuff. I want more free time... so I guess enough money to retire but work's okay.

Well, go unpack it. Vinyl is coming back, all the trendy young people who drink large quantities of PBR are in on the trend.

I have a Nikon DSLR.  It's a great camera, and they are really getting cheap now... so sounds like a pretty achievable goal.  And really, 1080p LCDs are getting real cheap to...

Good health on the other hand is hard to buy.  I was cursed with poor health as a child and had 2 rare diseases and 2 comas to go along with them and was sentenced to death by my doctors every time they saw me.. but hey, I somehow lived and I am healthy as an ox now, and money can't buy that.

@ Comrade - dude, you are fortunate to be alive! I just have to hustle harder for the Digital SLR. I have a Nikon N90s - dang, it's sweet w/ a motordrive, but it's a film camera and I rarely pick it up - I use a Kodak 6-7MP camera a lot more. And definitely want one that shoots 1080p video. My sis has a Sony that does it, but the picture quality isn't as good as I want.

@ Steven - what's a Netflix STB? LOL at your response.

@ Goddess - I dunno where the LPs are. I am so close to buying a USB turntable it's not even funny. It's a waste - I'll only use it a few times. My dad has over 8,000 45s and 33s - he loves to walk into shops and tell them 'I could put your store out of bizness!!!'

For the life of me, I found them once and lost them again.

What do I want for Christmas? My two front teeth.

It's a Netflix Set-Top-Box... I was posting on my workstation so I had to limit the length of the post before it crashed. My laptop was restarting.
