Where is my machine that allows me to slap people through the phone? Forget viagra, that is an invention I can REALLY get behind!
Personally, I’m waiting for the hovering skateboards. I mean, Back to the Future 2 took place only 3 years from now. They had better start inventing quick.
I’m especially pissed about #4. It REALLY sucks to be standing in front of a soda/water machine dying of thirst with ONE wrinkled, soggy dollar bill and NO change…and the machine hates your money.
10. You wrote moist…worst word ever of any year!
Omg! Michele I was totally going to say this EXACT same thing. The word moist should be banned from the english language. Sooo gross! Normally, people will describe a cake or something as ‘moist’ and consider it a compliment – if I hear them say that, I can’t eat the cake (and I freakin love me some cake….) *shudder*
I feel your pain on the cake thing, the only way that word could be worse is it’s followed by the word (I cringe when I type this one too) panties. Hate them both.
The word “moist” TOTALLY makes me cringe. I had the same thought when I read it.
#9 is the one I am mad about! Although I’d also need #6 (Time Machine) if #9 now existed so I could go back to being 11 years old to truly enjoy the Hogwarts experience. So I guess I need #6 and #9 together! Nice list!
I need 6 and 9 togheher too… wait, what are we talking about?
I am unsure as to why # 10 is missing:
10. No machine to suck dinosaur DNA out of amber in order to clone dionsaurs. Especially the triceratops.
Also. I am not married to Kirk Cameron, Ricky Schroeder OR Scott Baio. I don’t have a machine that puts my make-up/clothes on for me and fixes my hair AND meals don’t come in pill form. You know…like a pill that is a bacon cheeseburger, onion rings, chocolate shake and coconut pie for dessert?
Our forefathers LIED.
Did you ever watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch? She could snap her fingers and be completely dressed with her hair and makeup done. I’ve wanted THAT ever since. Wah! My life is so hard!
Also, I love the idea of perfume tattoos!
I just want a teleporter, and I really don’t think that is too much to ask of science. Forget evolution and global climate change. I want to be beamed to my destination.
Was that a doctor who reference? haha
I thought we were all supposed to be wearing shiny silver jumpsuits now that look kind of like sparkly tin foil. I mean, isn’t that what all the futuristic movies used to say??
No self-folding fitted sheets. While I’m on laundry, no autobot or assembly line to put clothes away ala Jetsons. No teleportation. No solution to traffic. A jet car to fly over it would be cool, but my luck but the time I could afford one, the skies would be clogged. No ‘talk to the computer, it just works’ – Star Trek with its unreal expectations. I’ll shut up now.
Self-folding fitted sheets! Can we add self-folding t-shirts? Hell, self-folding laundry. Why limit ourselves?
Have you seen Kick Ass yet? Give it a go! Super funny even if nic is in it!!!
#4 – The coke machine in my office takes any kind of dollar bill, even when they have folded corners and tears in them. It’s my favorite part of work.
The problem with the perfume tattoos is that you’d have the same scent every day forever. I like to switch things up.
Could totally do that in a temp tattoo form. Change the look AND the scent!
^ Exactly!
Maybe they could be of the scratch ‘n’ sniff temporary variety then, and you can refresh at some point in the day when necessary. Okay, maybe not….too many over-anxious itch scratchers who would smell up the whole place.
perfume tattoos. Brilliant.
I was like, “Perfume tattoos? What the–OH MY GOSH THIS IS BRILLIANT.”
Scratch n sniff
How about a cellphone that doesn’t require you to charge it every two hours? Or just reliable cell service??? Really, tech geniuses, you can create Siri but not a battery that can last longer than Lindsay Lohan’s sobriety? WTF!!
