To aid you in selecting my Christmas gift I've compiled this helpful list of presents I'd like:
- An ancient treasure map, preferably crumpled.
- Detailed plans for a legendary bank heist with blueprint drawings and a motley but charming crew of talented criminals, one of whom will ultimately double-cross us.
- A villain's secret lair carved into the side of a mountain on a remote island. Extra credit for including a tank of hungry, man-eating sharks.
- A talking dog.
- A non-talking cat with a Twitter account.
- A cute mouse who not only talks but cooks delicious meals and sings catchy songs.
- A Blockbuster Video franchise.
- Elvis's greatest hits on cassette tape.
- A cylindrical audio-recording made by Thomas Edison, speaking to his lab assistant: "Theodore! Get your ass in here pronto!"
- A gift-card entitling me to purchase gasoline at 49 cents a gallon so I can pretend it's 1972.
- A time machine to transport me back to 2009 where I can buy Bitcoin at 10 cents a coin.
What's on your wish list?
I like your list. You could probably make a treasure map, and cassettes are in again - did you know? You can probably find that tape!
ReplyDeleteI heard! Can't believe it but happening.
DeleteI would also like a mouse that will cook for me - and sing and chat!

I'll get you one!
DeleteI'm loving your list and with my hubby being an old Elvis fan, I can probably do the cassette tape :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteI've always thought I wanted a talking dog but then I've had a few really smart ones and I don't think I want to hear what they'd have to say lol
ReplyDeleteI'll take anything that cooks for me though!

Ha! Great response.
DeleteOmg I am totally adding that "time machine to buy Bitcoin at 10 cents a coin" because that would be GENIUS!

Yup. Thanks.
DeleteI miss the days of having a Blockbuster store around the corner.
ReplyDeleteCome visit mine. :)
DeleteGreat Christmas list. The Elvis cassette thing is a lovely idea. Do you have anything to play it on?
ReplyDeleteNope. And I don't know who sells them anymore.
DeleteIt's technically a talking dog: i recommend googling Bunny the Talking dog (and Billi the cat).
ReplyDeleteBoyhowdy that gas card though. Sign me up for one those bad boys.
That's some wish list Ally!
ReplyDeleteI don't want anything too extravagant myself, just a pair of Christian Louboutin black patent heels.
Ha! I hear ya, sister. :)
DeleteThis list is as smile-inducingly fun and charming as a beloved Christmas TV special.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong in the slightest wish dreaming and wishing big, my friend. Hopefully Santa will take a a peek at this and bring you at least a couple of the entries you're yearning for this year.

Such an imaginative list!!! Share the mouse with me- please!
ReplyDeleteYour treasure map made me smile as my friend Amanda and I used to spend every Saturday morning drawing treasure maps when I was around 7 and she was 4! So much fun!
That gives me an idea... thanks!
