Objects/ Gadgets from Fiction - Wishlist
Okay, you won't get these from Santa. But then not even Bill Gates can buy them.
What objects or gadgets from fiction (movies, TV, books - the whole gamut) would you like in your Christmas stocking. Reasons preferred to make it more interesting and to help those not aware of the item, but not essential. Pheremone Spray, Torchwood (season one, episode one) - do I need to explain why I want something I can spray in someone's face that makes them want to have sex with me? Thought not. House Elf, Harry Potter - I so need someone to clean up after me. If I was offered true and everlasting love or a house elf it would be a close run thing. Replicator, Star Trek - ask for whatever food I want, whenever I want it? OMG! Pizza and synth ale till I was sick of it, then instantly prepared healthy dishes til I slimmed down. Repeat as necessary. The Culture's Drug Glands, various Iain M Banks novels - artificial glands that secrete drugs into the system. Can calm you down, enhance your sex drive, sharpen your senses, make you euphoric. Oh yes please! A Babel Fish, Hitchhikers' - to be able to order food in Cantonese, or hear what the chap in the kebab shop is really saying about me? Hell, yeah! Water Slide Home, Barclays advert - chap gets to go home on his own water-slide (really, really long one too). Damn I'd love to get places that way. I'd even be seen in public in a swimming costume for the privilege. Don't know if it's a worldwide ad.* Done for now. I'm sure other people's suggestions will shake some more loose for me. * Here is the link. I didn't want to embed it because I think it's distracting in a thread about imaginary things. |
The thing in Men in Black that makes people forget. It would be fun just to screw with.

The "Keep 'Em Alive" kit from the glove box of 007's car in Casino Royale

I want all the stuff from Star Trek ... transporter, phaser, the medical doodads, the replicator, the starship, the whole nine yards.
And a lightsaber from Star Wars. And Larry Niven's teleport. And a bunch of other stuff that I'll get back to later, but it's later than I thought and I have to get heading for work. |
Holodeck.
|
light saber.....yeah, baybay.
vvvvwwwwrrrrrooowwrrr |
lightsaber.
technology to replicate limbs lost while playing with said lightsaber. |
Oh, GOD yes, I want a holodeck. I've been wishing for one of those for a loooooong time.
I also want a wand like Harry Potter's. (no, not like THAT.) |
I would also like:
Wonder Woman's Invisible Plane, Magic Lasso, and her wristbands. The Witchblade From Narnia, Lucy's Cordial and Susan's Bow There are any number of magic items from D&D campaigns that I've been in that I would like. The one the comes immediately to mind is the everflowing tankard one of my Clerics used to have ... It was always full of really, really good beer. |
Gay Deceiver from Heinlein's "Number of the Beast".
An Improbability Drive from "HHGTTG". The brain recording/playback system from "Brainstorm". |
I believe that Gay Deceiver is actually Dora? Am I right?
|
Hoverboard from Back to the Future II.
Sonic screwdriver from Dr Who (plus several of his traveling companions). And most of the things already mentioned. From D&D ... hey baby, wanna see my Rod of Lordly Might? |
Oh, and I forgot to mention. I want all of these. Thanks Santa, you're the bomb.

I want to be able to do all the kinds of stuff McGyver can do, and have it work.
|
Death Star for shooting fish in a barrel.
K-9 to retrieve the fish. Gort to walk K-9. Tricorder to keep tabs on Gort. |
