21st birthday coming up...
« on: November 06, 2010, 07:36:14 PM »
And everyone is asking what I want.

Seriously, I have no idea. I don't like pretty trinkets, I like stuff which lets me do things I can't already ("A new watch? But this one works fine!"). My parents want to get me an iPhone and/or iPad, which is about my limit of "things which would be kind of nice to have". Everyone else is frustrated at the idea of getting me a terrible present for such an important occasion.

Any suggestions?

The tier system in a nutshell:

Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.

Maybe a Kindle?

They are pretty cool (free cellphone-tower-based internet, and really long battery life).

A trip to Pax East :P Though I don't know what all of your hobbies are but is there anything you need for any of them? Do you need a new computer? A bikini wax?

EDIT: Forgot the congratulations. My bad.

Switch Bailey's for Kahlua and you can make White Russians. That'll be awesome when you're all alone against the horde.

Nah, add a fifth of Kahlua instead. you've got that much room.

Seconding the Zombie Survival Kit, but ask them to throw in firearms lessons if you don't already have experience.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

You can substitute cream in a White Russian for Bailey's, and I prefer it that way, at least. It's all a matter of taste.

1 10-Gauge Shotgun
30 10-gauge shells
A poor choice. Not only does the 10-gauge shotgun have a large amount of recoil, but spare parts for such a shotgun will be hard to come by, as will be ammunition for it. It would make the most sense to have a 12 or 20 gauge shotgun of a common model due to availability of parts, abundance of ammunition, and the ease of use (less recoil).

I meant to say that I prefer the Bailey's, not the cream, as cream is the standard.

Also, the 10-gauge shotgun is to ensure that, even if you miss the head, that zombie's disabled in one way or another.

I meant stop wasting milk, White Russian is the biggest waste of milk since cheese. Drink your milk straight up, like a real man!

Also: I think I will wish for one of these for my birthday in a couple of weeks

I'd think you might want a nice solid polearm for the zombie apoc actually.
The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

"Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. At 2:15, it begins rolling up characters."

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

I just got my wife a Droid X. We're both crazy about it. A smart phone is a great thing to have, IMO.

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
