This week, you can take 5 'things' from anywhere in the world and make them your own. They must be actual 'things' and not money or spirituality-related 'issues'. (Although you can ask for thing/s you want to on-sell).

You can have a building. You can have a person. You can even have a country if you like. Whatever you want that laws, or money, or logistics have so far made impossible, it's now yours. So, what in the world will you choose ?.

What are 'the 5 things you want from this world' ?.

To get it started, here are mine:

 

1/     100 acres in the Australian bush

2/     Houseboat

3/     (Tiny) private island

4/     The Hubble telescope

5/     An elephant

 

All are welcome, and have a great weekend everyone :)

A fully loaded RV

Reserved seats (good ones) at every sporting venue in North America

Private jet to fly me all over the world (so I can visit friends)

Kim Jong-Il's wristwatch (how cool a conversation piece would that be!)

A mysterious benefactor that would fully fund me for writing my blogs

That's just how I'm feeling today... ask me again next week and it will probably change...

tricky question... not sure how I feel about owning people. but what the hell.

1) New York City. i wouldn't kick anyone out, except for the urban renewal people, but if I owned it I'd make it okay to smoke again and customary to give bums cigarettes anytime they ask, and street cart food would be free, but I'd ban pickles.

2)Somebody to share my mind.Or help me find it.

3)Ryan Adams (alt country singer) to keep in a box in my underwear drawer, spray with perfume and get high with.

4)A black Steinway grand piano and someplace quiet to play it.

5)A big super hairy mutt of a dog to sleep on my feet.

1. The complete East Coast of Australia. (I'd turn it back into what it was before big-money development ruined it, and would never sell it again.)

2. The biggest ocean cruising yacht ever built, and the crew along with it.

3. The best party the world's ever seen, and the ultimate say on who gets to come. I'd have it on.....

4. Tahiti.

5. A jet helicopter, for my yacht.

(mine'd probably change on a weekly basis too though. This is just what I want today)

1. Australia - all of it for my personal fief.
2. a spaceship.
3. a brand new porsche - and not the poxy boxster
4. a title - I've always liked the sound of 'Baron' or 'Duke'.
5. a tropical island somewhere with all the mod cons - maybe Fiji? That's a pretty cool place when it's not revolting against the oppressors.

like with everyone else all this is subject to change without notice.

An ICBM silo, well stocked and targeted in all directions. I have absolutely no prejudices at all.

A grey wolf pup

Bondi Beach (the whole suburb) with all the beautiful people still in it, magnetic braclets on their ankles that blow their legs off once they cross over the line.

Notre Dame Cathedral, so i can stick it in Bondi, on the beach, as my residence, and freak people out with the pipe organ at three in the morning. (like to see them run though).

The Sistine Chapel, rammed into the Notre Dame - that will be my bedroom.

1) Paris and environs. (Which I would mainly use to be able to go wherever I wanted, be it into the sewers or the hidden rooms in Notre Dame or the President's private suite or any non-public room in Versailles or wherever.)

2) one billion non-expiring frequent flyer miles. That oughta cover me and my family.

3) a set of 1927 (or thereabouts) Deusenbergs. (classic cars)

4) a castle somewhere. Maybe the one here in Minneapolis, even. Not sure. (I forget what it's called, it's over by Ridgewood and LaSalle for any Minneapolitans reading.)

5) controlling interest in Microsoft Corporation. bwahahaha!

(re: my #4, apparently it's the Van Dusen Castle, and it's on sale for a measly $3.9 million. 23,000 square feet, turrets, 7-foot-tall chandelier in the 3rd-floor ballroom, a coach house, and many other fine amenities.)

Come to think of it, I have a new five, well three actually when i realised that three is all i need for my ends. Nobody told me that you couldn't answer twice:

The UN; control of the US military (so basically the white house and the presidency); the World Bank

With these three I could probably tell the world to grow up and behave. I could fund it to accomplish these lofty and complicated goals, and if it didn't comply I could thoroughly kick its arse.
