I have one somewhere, a picture disc album of Aladdin Sane. I also have a letter signed by all five original VJ’s from MTV from like, 1982.
Oh I don’t know, maybe the Holy Grail.
@ucme Are you lashing out?
I’d like to have anything related to David Bowie. Something from the Ziggy era, or Major Tom.
@Trillian Lash out moi, not at all my dear.Simply offering my appraisal of your fare.There seem to be an awful lot of Bowie fans on here,I had Scary Monsters album at one point it went missing though,shame.
@DrasticDreamer You really live up to your handle don’t you? I mean, if you’re going to dream, dream BIG! ;-)
I would never have thought of that!
Owning the Venus De Milo or other such amazing works of art would be pretty beast. Or perhaps an ancient Sumerian wheel.
Movie: probably the orange tree from the illusionist or the first print of the original Dracula film, or maybe the potted plant from The Professional.
Music: too many to pick, but the original Lucille would be nice.
Political: Perhaps an original copy of Plato’s Republic or Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics, maybe the original writings of Confucius
History: pyramid, alexander the great’s sword, an original antikythera mechanism.
Yeah, that’s more than one, but I’d be thrilled to have any one of them.
The clothing Caesar was wearing when he was assassinated.
The ring of power from LOTR.
A real antique Ninjatō sword. Not some cheap and crappy replica you can get for $10–60.
uuuuuh HELLO. the sequined glove….
How about the apple that fell on Newton’s head , the key Ben Franklin tied on his kite during the thunder storm or the wooden teeth of Washington. Of course none of those were probably real. LOL @wonderingwhy and the plant from The Professional.
I think for me I would be happy with the tunic that Russell Crowe wore in The Gladiator.
also i’d love the real mona lisa in my living room. WHAT A CONVERSATION PIECE!!!!
Hmmm @deni I was just thinking for David in my livingroom
But seriously I think a full skeleton of a saber-toothed tiger would be cool
The Hubble Space Telescope, in full working order as well…my own private window to the universe.
Spear Of Langinus, says Hubbs.
I’m thinking along the same vein- it wouldn’t be so much what I would own as that it would be something for me to protect; to keep safe until it is needed again. You know, like your pair of really nice dress pants that you can never find when you need them.
a wrigley field bleacher seat.
@AstroChuck Caesar had problems with diarrhea… I don’t think you would want his last clothes
The largest of the super high detail models of NCC-1701D or NCC-1701E (Starship Enterprise). This was auctioned off for some exorbitant sum in the last few years.
If I owned it, I would put it on public display and allow the public (for a modest fee) to visit and examine it as closely as possible while protecting it from harm.
If that were unavailable, I would like the command module capsule from Apollo 11 in which the three astronauts returned to Earth after the first successful lunar landing.
Hey! I’m not asking for much!
I would like the Hubble telescope…Or at least a copy of the warranty…or maybe weird Al’s first Accordion
Alan Moffat’s and Colin Bond’s XC Falcon Hardtops from the 1977 Bathurst 1000.
Either Winston Churchill, or Lawrence of Arabia’s Mauser C96 pistol.
Either one would suffice.
The land with the Fountain of Youth on it.
Jerry Garcia’s ashes
and my aunts ruby ring on my hand
A piece of wood from the Cross.
@lucillelucillelucille You could frame it & mount it on your bedroom wall,it’ll hog all the attention follow you around the room.
@ucme -I’d like to carry it around on my shoulder like a parrot! :)
@lucillelucillelucille I’m sure it had a brief cameo role in The Lion King.How does that song go… oh yes “when I was a young warthog” Played the role of Pumba I recall.Should have won the oscar for best supporting wart that year.I’d a lump in my throat in anticipation,never mind.
@ucme -It also played Halle Berry’s nipple in “Monster’s Ball” and did in fact,win an Oscar!
@lucillelucillelucille Ah yes an areola that suited it well.A wart’s & all performance by the delightful Miss Berry ;¬}
I would like to own a part of Michael Schumacher’s race car, in his Ferrari days. I already own a pair of his gloves and a signed cap. Although I always fancied owning his visor.
@talljasperman- There has been talk concerning why he remained seated (which was a great insult) while the senate was declaring him a god. Conjecture addressed his epilepsy and other things. A bout of diarrhea was thrown out there as a theory as well. But it’s just a theory. But if that theory was correct and there is a 2,000 year-old stain of diarrhea on his robes I’ll take that stain, as well as all the blood from his 23 stab wounds, happily. And a little seman and urine would be an added bonus.
One of my friends owns a limited edition replica of the mask worn by V in V for Vendetta. I think there are only 500 or so in the world. I’m not so secretly jealous.
The fish net stocking/lingerie/blonde wig ensamble David Carridine died in.
I would settle for either Bruce Campbells “BOOMSTICK” or the stump mounted chainsaw from the Evil Dead Movie series!
@Cruiser, Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. This… is my BOOMstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart’s top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That’s right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It’s got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel… and a hair trigger. That’s right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. YOU GOT THAT?!
@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard
[holding a deadite head] What’s that? You can’t believe you just got your ass kicked by a one-handed nut job? What’s that? Oh, you think I’m your daddy! Listen up, shake and bake, I eat evil for breakfast and danger for dinner, so spread the word. Ash… is back… in business. ;)
I’m guessing the NRA was a chief financier of that movie.
I wouldn’t mind Jimi Hendrix’s guitar, maybe Jimmy Page’s double neck guitar that would be sweet.
@filmfann
No she’s far from cheap… but as soon as I kick your mama out I’ll give her a call.
@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard
Oh man, I forgot about that brilliant piece of Cheeze Whiz. If I remember right it was also an arcade video game or that character was back in the 80’s? I thought you guys were talking about the Woody Harrelson zombie movie.
@SeventhSense Yes…google Evil Dead and most of what comes up will be about the video game! Just as “cheeze whizzy” as the movie complete with the “Boomstick” for mopping up all the undead! lol!
@Cruiser
Ya that was some world class schlock for the genre.
@SeventhSense One of the very few movies I can watch over and over and always laugh my ass off!
The fishnets Tim Curry wore in Rocky Horror Picture Show.
@FutureMemory It was great when it all began. I was a regular Frankie fan.
Film: Diane Keaton’s Hat from “Annie Hall”.
Political: Benjamin Disraeli’s desk
Historical: A moon rock brought back by Apollo 11
Musical: The original drawing by Julian Lennon of “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.”
@AstroChuck Sounds like somebody is lookin for some DNA . . . whatcha gonna make?
Nah. I wouldn’t want to clone Caesar. He wasn’t worthy of resurrection. Ol’ Gaius was a mass murderer who’s been treated unjustifiably kind in history. Actually I collect ancient Roman artifacts and just think that would be an amazing thing to own.
