  1. I WANT that, but I would need assurances that Sigourney Weaver would NOT be included.

  2. I think the Metropolis robot would be cool. Seen the movie?

  3. This reminds me of the doll company that's suing German priest who is using their Jesus dolls to creating crucifixion and sending pictures out on the web - darn, cant find link right now.

  5. I so want a life-sized Alien candle. And on the other side of the doorway, the Shrike from Hyperion.

  6. Including the Alien, which would be one helluva shock to anyone breaking into your living room, I'm going with numbers 36, 54, 65 and 92.

  7. I'd need a bigger house.

    It would only frighten anyone breaking in, it would frighten the life out of me every morning!

  8. Ooooh I want an Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lector to put in the corner of my living room. He'd be a great silent partner! ha

  9. For that, Ananda deserves a plate of fava beans.

  10. That site is neat. I'd like to have the bucks to buy some of the vintage horror ones such as King Kong and Frankenstein and put them in a home theater.

  11. I want the Mr. T! I would put it in my bathroom, with a sign that says, "I pity the fool who doesn't flush!"

    i understand our power bills may be going up...

  13. OK, where do you put something like that? I suppose it could be a lawn jockey, but someone would lift it in a heartbeat!

  14. dmarks-- I'd like a nice chanti with those fava beans! He's like a hero... eating the free range rude!

    ReplyDelete
  15. He also dines on "free-range dude"

  16. Pasadena: If that is a lawn jockey, I'd hate to see the kind of horse it would ride.

  17. Wow, it's nice to know that even when I'm busy, The BLOG has a life of its own. Good work everybody.

    DaBlade: I wouldn't want Sigourney, but I wouldn't mind Ripley. She was my hero when I say the first film.

    Chuck: Oh yeah. Good choice.

    Gifted Typist: That's just weird.

    Sue: Yay, something non-political that we can agree on.

    dmarks: Oh that would be a heck of a sight for a darkly paneled rec room.

    womanhonorthyself: It would take up more room than our Christmas tree!

    Brooke: If I'm going to fantasize about having buttloads of disposable income, I'd get enough to start my own museum. Of course, Spock would be there too.

    Caz: You are so right. We have this plastic roach that about 2 inches long and one I've seen a million times, yet it still has the ability to startle the heck out of me. I can't imagine what an 8 foot alien would do to my psyche!!!

  18. Ananda girl: Another good choice. But Hannibal could be very chatty without the mask.

    dmarks: I would've added the bit about the chianti but Ananda girl stole my thunder.

    Jamie Dawn: If you do, can I come watch movies there?

    Jen: lol. Or put the seat down.

    nanc: I'd rather sit in the dark than light a $6,000 candle. I'd settle for a cheap Glade candle scented with the esense of Alien
    ;-)

    Pasadena CC: No way. It would get stolen in a heartbeat. Just like the cool R2D2 shaped mailboxes that were put out by the USPS a while back.

    Ananda girl: lol. Free range rude.

    dmarks: lol. Free range dude. Very clever.

  19. Truly a delightful and entertaining post! Very cool beans. Big grin.

  20. Ananda girl: Thank you. I loves me that positive feedback :-)

  21. Jen: "I'd rather have the "Mr T-1000". All silver, and covered in gold bling.

    "I TERMINATE da fool!"

  22. Cube: "dmarks: I would've added the bit about the chianti but Ananda girl stole my thunder."

    How about the beans? They usually add more thunder, not steal it.

  23. dmarks: You are on a roll!

  24. I must have this.
