I am going shopping. For the FUN of it. However I don't actually want or need anything. What shall I buy?

CDs for me. Thanks!

I'm considering a cheese plant. or a minidisc player. or a system of pulleys. or some cured meat. or a dracula cape.

A badger.

fun shopping: records, shoes, trainers, clothes (except trousers), plants

not so fun shopping: trousers (pain to try on), IKEA

pulley system sounds good. cheese plants are great, too

Shop for house knickknacks or framed art/posters.

sistah becky has a cheeseplant so vast and venerable (I think 20 this year) that it actually kept aloft by a system of pulleys

Halloween things. Toilet roll. Oh please, please get some toilet roll. It's fun buying loo roll, no really!

Buy some GAME! I R thinking MALLARD or GROUSE.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

an inclined plane. oo, how about some white chocolate mice?

― Alan Trewartha, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

a board game, a surprise for someone else, something you've never eaten before, an original piece of art and/or a live animal.

― chris, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nail polish.

― toraneko, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"MALLARD or GROUSE" is one of those cute games on the N64, right? Good two player option, I always choose mallard -- his special move, kicks grouse's ass.

― Alan Trewartha, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors...if you can find it.

You don't write copy for Kinder Suprise ads, do you?

― RickyT, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

WIDGEON!

― RickyT, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wish. They should definitely put live animals in Kinders, e.g. a beetle or lugworm, that would be excellent.

― chris, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

rickyT have you sampled widgeon? my mom has been known to cook it (strickly speaking i am not sure if it is GAME, or mallard either, but i am too lazy to check)

― mark s, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've never eaten widgeon, though I am fairly sure it's some sort of duck and therefore likely to be dead tasty. Or tasty dead even.

(Hurrah! Mark S didn't refer to me as horseback boy! Can it be that I am free of this deadly moninker whos origin and meaning I know not?)

― RickyT, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Go to John Lewis and buy some squares of felt in various colours. By some sequins, feathers, wiggly ribbon stuff that you used to get on dresses in the seventies and bra strap elastic. Make something.

"I'd rather be on… horseback" = only vocal and closing item of (I think) Hergest Ridge, by which M.Oldfield succinctly sums up the feelings of his entire listening public. As in, "So wd I, Mike, and I'm allergic to bladdy horses..."

― mark s, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Whores.

― jm, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Aha, all becomes clear.

― anthony, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A toy voice changer. What did you buy in the end?

― james, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

there are innumerable piss ass drunken free jazz joys to be found in the almighty TIN/PENNY WHISTLE.

― jess, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

An electric screwdriver

― Graham, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'tis better to shop than to buy. tis best to sample wares and not buy.

― Maria, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sweets and treasure for hours of pleasure.

― Graham, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― anthony, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I bought thigh-highs for my halloween costume, the new 2-disc St. Et comp, "Best in Show" and candy for the office. Buy those things.

― Ally, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I haven't bought anything this week.

― james, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I bought hair dye, candy that I distributed as beneficent and beloved, and I am going to buy a C.S. Lewis book that I have not read, Surprised by Joy,, in an hour or two.

― Maria, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Buy a Roald Dahl book. Buy a chocolate croissant. Buy a Duncan Buttefly yo-yo. Buy a new watch. Buy an amazing-smelling bar of soap. Buy a great magazine. Buy a plant for the place where you live. Buy many CDs. Buy a nice bottle of wine or champagne that you'll thank yourself for having done later.

― Clarke B., Saturday, 27 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I know there was a BBC History magazine bought. And possibly some salami but that could just be me obsessing about HAMS. No bog roll was bought, causing me to "half inch" some from the Spitz latXoR.
