What small but overly indulgent thing would you like to own?

[publiusr]

I hear that.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

A Romulan Warbird

Its not super small, but not super big either. I'd love to have a full brewing setup. My current assortment of stew pots, buckets and and carboys get the job done but there is a definite lack of control of some of the finer details and time-sensitive aspects of brewing.

Hey if you had a full size set you could call it Engineering

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Actually that car alarm from Robocop would be good.

Oh hells yeah.

Literally small or do you mean insignificant?

Hmm...my mind immediately thought about set pieces from Voyager like her coffee mug or her desk

 

[CaptainMurdock]

A full functioning replica original series Bridge diorama for my Diamond Select trek figures.

 

[Hugo Rune]

The soul of @Guy Gardener

Kept in a nice bell jar, up on the mantle piece, and released when a dose of insanity, joy or and instant non-sequitur is needed

Plus, to get random, bizarre, diverse TV suggestions when I am bored.

Hugo - cost is no object

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I wish I could have got ahold of one of the seats from the old Yankee Stadium.

I wish I could have got ahold of one of the seats from the old Yankee Stadium.

I almost bought a pair from Shea. However my wife bought me a pair of cuff links made from the seats from Shea. So I do own a little bit of Shea.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I didn't even know they sold the seats from Shea! I wouldn't mind one of those as well. I'd put them both side by side in my living room.

I do have keepsakes from both stadia, though: my favorite winter cap I got from Old Yankee Stadium, and I have a Mets rally towel I got from my last week at Shea.

Oh, one other thing, as far as small but indulgent things go:

CAPS THAT FIT

 

[auntiehill]

One of those Farnsworth phones from Warehouse 13.

Small and indulgent - my mind immediately went to a Black Lotus!! (Magic the Gathering). For the uninitiated, it's a very rare and overpowered card for a competitive dueling game first printed back in 1993.

Some of these responses are very interesting.
Some things are actually fairly practical and arguably easy to obtain! Others are fictional and impossible to obtain.

A friend of mine has one of those. Not from the first printing, but the second or third. He's had it for over 20 years now.

I'd like a high-quality replica/build of the contestants' jackets from the PBS Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? game show that'd fit me:

Seriously Styling Gumshoes​

That would be awesome. I'd wear it all the time, and bask in its glory whenever I went out in public. Trouble is, I imagine getting one custom-made from scratch would cost in the hundreds, to say nothing of the trickiness of making a high-quality ACME patch for the front, or the giant show logo on the back. And I guess that would make it pretty overly indulgent - unless, of course, one considered it a foolproof true love magnet, and therefore a justifiable investment for long-term life happiness. (I wouldn't be nuts about wearing a necktie, though - not a necktie fan.) Hm. Maybe it's worth looking into after all...

I wanted to be on that show.

A dish washer.

Seriously.

We have an older house with a tiny kitchen, and there's just no place install a dish washer, so we have to do them by hand. My wife says she doesn't mid, but still.

My mom seriously considered buying a pair for my sister, the biggest Mets fan in the family.

Oh, the prestige!

Yeesh. We lived in a rental house for 4 years that didn't have a dishwasher. It had room for one, but the landlord was extremely cheap. Since my wife cooks, it's up to me to do the dishes. I *really* despised doing dishes without a dishwasher. I still hate doing them, but it's much more tolerable now, and not near as time-consuming.

I hope that's not a real card..... You just gave tons of people ideas
