Andy's Christmas 2004 Wish List

Quick Description Long Description
Lotus Elise stuff
The Lotus Elise is a car I am considering for purchase after graduation. We'll see how things pan out.
Tiny models of the car would be nice. Already have the HotWheels version. (Might have to search for "lotus elise") EWA1 Sands Museum Haleymotorsports Sportcraftcars Exoticar

Steig: CDC?
Comic compilations: Bloom County, Far Side, Calvin & Hobbes
Books from The Onion (no hardcovers available, but they're still "bound" to be funny!)
Polarized Sunglasses Something to keep sunglasses in would be good too -- it's harder to scratch them when they're in a coat pocket.
Ultrasonic fogger The kind of fogger that you put in your desk fountain to spill a mist around the edges.
LEGO -- large (lbs) lots are a nice way to get a good variety of parts.

Bionicle is a no-no. Technic sets are good, as are space, town, and castle. Already have big Tie Advanced, X-Wing, Yoda, Darth Maul.
Other LEGO stuff from a big LEGO store would be cool.

Nintendo 64 games Also, an out-of-production game system. Could really use the Mario Party games (three of them, I think; they're supposed to be a lot of fun to play in a group). Careful about some games that need memory/video upgrades (I don't have that stuff).

What I already have: Bomber-Man 64, F-Zero X, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,

Tupperware Storage items. Serving / mixing bowls.

Dippy bird One of those little glass birds that dips into water, looking like it's constantly drinking. I already have a simple one, about 6.5 inches tall, with blue hat, blue liquid, and red head, white legs, and red base. If you find a different color, that'd be neat, or a smaller one, or a larger one, or an older one!
Fun T-Shirts This looks like a good source.
Name imprinter The type of thing that stamps one's name in to a sheet of paper. Maybe just initials. For "personalizing" books.
Surprise me! If there's something that catches your eye and you think it might make me happy, there's a good chance that at the least it'll make me think of you whenever I see it!
Try here, maybe here, here, here, here, here, or here.
