Shopping List

By ruthless48

Laser beams

Sulky dreams

A molecular transporter
Unit # 12749

The synapses of Einstein's
brain

A box of rain

The Twilight Zone watch
to freeze time

Cream pies for a food fight

A hummingbird  in flight

Maxwell Smart's shoe telephone

A tree house day

A month in May

A year of asceticism in Tibet,
alone

    "Well I'm gonna to go then! And I don't need any of this. . . . Just this ashtray... And this paddle game. - The ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need... And this remote control. - The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need... And these matches. - The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control, and the paddle ball... And this lamp. - The ashtray, this paddle game, and the remote control, and the lamp, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The paddle game and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches for sure. Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need." ~~~~~Navin R. Johnson; The Jerk-1979 {thanx for the :) and the read!}
