Things I should get

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006 at 7:41 AM

Looking around me I have decided that I do not have enough cool stuff. I have some really cool stuff but not enough. As we are told to be proactive I have drawn up a list of things I should acquire. I can then reflect on this list next year and see how well I have done! Hehe!

Things I do not really need but should have by now and therefore need to get:

  • A harmonica
  • A pair of binoculars
  • A hammock
  • A “Kiss the chef” apron - Thanks C!
  • A yo-yo
  • A Rubik’s Cube
  • A baseball bat, a baseball, and two mitts
  • A chainsaw
  • An official Swiss army knife

That will do for now. Although I suspect this list will grow and grow.

    I only understand why you need binoculars.

  • 3. Shiroh  |  June 20th, 2006 at 12:52 pm

    Sorry Mr. I meant a pair of binoculars.

    @MovieBuff – copy cat but we can share. And race against each other to see who is the business!
    @ Shiroh – they are useful in many many instances!
    @MsK – really?
    @Anon - ;-))

    I’ve got a Rubik’s Cube, and it’s hella cool! Still trying to solve it. I hear Swiss Army knives are really handy. Do you play the harmonica? I won’t even ask what the chainsaw is for…

  • 9. Mentalacrobatics  |  June 20th, 2006 at 11:45 pm

    Sawa GND. You, Movie Buff and I shall form a Rubiks cube krew! lol

  • 10. uaridi  |  June 21st, 2006 at 1:00 am

    Get the hammock please, please. I want one too.

  • 11. Shiroh  |  June 21st, 2006 at 9:58 am

    I understand what is wrong with living in Africa. Everyone else seems to understand. Where is thesaurus aka Guess?

  • 12. sokari  |  June 21st, 2006 at 12:18 pm

    chainsaw? you hate someone so much?
    yo-yo - return to childhood days?
    harmonica - imagined musician
    binoculars - you want to become a private detective (resisted the short form here) or is it bird watching?
    kiss apron - hmmmm!
    rubiks cube - you want to show off:)
    baseball bat and glove - you want to earn millions of $
    a hammock - you want to relax and be cool at the same time
    swiss army knife - you want to be a ready for anything guy

    [...] It was bound to happen. A day after posting my list of cool things I want to get I see stuff that is even cooler. For example check out this USB bear. You have a cute teddy bear that makes you go, “awwwwwwww” but to use it you have to behead it. Hehehe! The second picture is just too deadly. You can see kids getting traumatised all over the land! [...]

    I hear you on the “cool things to have” list. I am still wishing for a hula hoop and a Bart Simposon pez dispenser for candy. The hula hoop I had as a kid broke, it was lots of fun and I was quite a champ @ swinging it. Would love to own one now!

  • 15. Mocha!  |  June 21st, 2006 at 2:37 pm

    The rest of the list I get……lakini chainsaw ni ya nini?

    What happened to the card?

  • 16. JKE  |  June 21st, 2006 at 9:22 pm

    You are SOOOO materialistic :-D

  • 17. Mentalacrobatics  |  June 22nd, 2006 at 9:58 am

    @Uaridi - am checking out good ones! Will fill you in.
    @shiroh - yeah
    @ sokari - i did want to become a private eye when i was a kid lol. The chainsaw is for those hard to open envelopes you get in the mail sometimes.
    @Mitzy - hula hoops. ah now why didnt i think of that. lol i probably dont have the hips though.
    @Mocha - its for opening hard letters you get in the post. The card should be somewhere around you i think.
    @JKE - am just that kinda guy!

  • 20. Mentalacrobatics » &hellip  |  June 23rd, 2006 at 3:10 am

    [...] Just two days after banging on about cool things I want to get, I got a pleasant surprise in the post. [...]

  • 21. JKE  |  June 26th, 2006 at 3:36 pm

    Ati swiss Armyknife - are you sure? How about a Leatherman instead?

  • 22. Mentalacrobatics  |  June 26th, 2006 at 11:38 pm

    Can you get a letherman with a in built USB stick?

  • 23. Mentalacrobatics » &hellip  |  January 9th, 2007 at 3:48 pm

    [...] Back in June I posted a list of stuff I wanted to get, which gradually expanded. A few weeks after getting my “Kiss the chef” I got another item on my list in a package in the post. The Yo-Yo! Yeah it’s taken me 6 months+ to write about it, but I was moving etc. [...]

  • 24. ichiena  |  January 14th, 2007 at 12:40 pm

    I am coming in shamelessly late! But have to say this - got the Rubik cube but never been able to complete it. I finish 5 sides then i’m stuck. Ever completed yours?

    I became proactive on kiss the chef apron - got one and enbroidered it myself!

    Chainsaw???
