Buy Stuff

[JustGeorge]

If you could buy a random item right now, what would it be?

It must be for yourself, not someone else.

No price limit, but only one item.

 

[Wu Wei]

A mook jong

 

[ChristineM]

An MRI, still waiting for an appointment.

 

[Revoltingest]

A steam engine

A steam engine

Which one?

 

[Revoltingest]

Which one?

I've my eye on several that became available in Kentucky.
One was used in dentist offices.
That would make an interesting exhibit.
Another couple were used in cars...one Locomobile, one unknown maker.
There's also a "flame licker" engine.

Our museum intends to get a Sintz 2-cylinder 2-stroke marine engine.
They're quite rare. And Clark Sintz is a significant figure in history.

If they were all available, but you could only pick one, which would it be?

Well, since you said random I went to a random treasure generator for a tabletop RPG I'm running.

I got a Wand of Inflict Moderate Wounds.

I'll interpret this to mean I am supposed to randomly go out and buy a gun?

Nah, I'll pass.

The second roll was Oil of Levitation. Anyone know if someone has created a device for boring humans to be able to levitate in the air yet? I need to buy whatever that is. Sounds cool.

I'll have an IWC Spitfire pilot's watch please Santa

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

I really want another dog.

 

[Eddi]

One of those donkey shaped cigarette dispensers where you press down the donkey's head and a cigarette slides out its rear end

I know you can get them from Spain

 

[Gargovic Malkav]

Maybe this? I mean *you* won't levitate. But still neat.
