What do you want to buy?
It is billed as the best pop culture collection ever assembled — ranging from the gun used to kill the assassin of President John F. Kennedy to the Wicked Witch of the West’s hat from “The Wizard of Oz.”
Collected over the past 25 years by South Florida property developer Anthony Pugliese, the collection, which also includes a whip and the holy grail from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” will be put up for auction next month in Las Vegas…
Also up for grabs is the jacket worn by Beatle John Lennon in the “Imagine” video, the wedding dress worn by pop star Madonna in her “Like a Virgin” video, a “Superman” costume worn by Christopher Reeve, and an Andy Warhol paint brush.
Ettinger said Pugliese was selling his collection, which he had kept in a large vault at his offices, because it “had been his passion, but now has taken a back seat” to a green housing development he was working on.
Other items to be auctioned include a Federal Bureau of Investigation badge that belonged to the bureau’s founder J. Edgar Hoover, a wig worn by Elizabeth Taylor for “Cleopatra,” and the leather jacket worn by actor Brandon Lee when he was accidentally shot and killed while filming “The Crow.”
I want a country that I can feel proud of again. If the cost is $2000 to Barack Obama then count me in.
That is indeed the cost.
Here’s a place where you can contribute, if you’re not already maxed out:

And don’t forget the hours, the blood, the sweat and sometimes, the tears.
Well, my son is a big Brandon Lee fan, so the jacket from “The Crow” he’d probably like that.
Otherwise, I think I’ll wait to see if I get that baritone uke I’ve been watching on eBay. Some bastidge just bid me up by $12 on it.
I want better health care! I’m paying about $120/mo, but my office copay is $40, and I had to pay about $2000 for my ovarian cyst. So…. Yeah, health care!
Although Oswald’s toe tag would be kind of morbidly cool, I suppose.
I want a more fuel-efficient vehicle! I get about 30 miles to the gallon on freeways, but that’s nowhere near good enough.
I want an American car maker to make this..so I can buy it.

I’d take a crown of Aragorn if you’re feeling generous.

What could I hock for tuition?
Crap. I just got sniped for that baritone uke.
Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to settle for a Democratic president and Democratic majority in Congress.
Maybe next time…How about a little giggle instead:
lol! That’s worth more than a giggle.
Oh yeah that was funny. 🙂
I wish I had some decent video editing software. I would love to mash up some of the stuff that’s just flying around out there in the ‘tubes.
Does that guy have Pee Wee’s bike????
