Atreides Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Think of a (realistic) souvenir from a place which is not obvious but representative of it nevertheless. For example I'd want a cowboy hat (black with silver like Carrie's on Mythbusters) if I visited Texas. I'd get a wind chime and a wooden rice-digger spoon from Japan. Spreading beauty with my katana.
Child of Flame Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I would get a wood carving. Like I always do. My collection is ever-growing, never shrinking.
Darth Barth Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 I have a bottle of Romulan Ale sitting in my refrigerator from when I went to the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton. Nice show, too. If you ever go there make certain to get a Warp Core Breach from Quarks Bar. WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE.
kumquatq3 Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 cowboy hats are very Texas Maybe like a handmade shotgun or something
Walsingham Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 You have to get a knife scar in your belly, from a Mexcian bar-fighter. A souvenir you can talk about. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
EnderAndrew Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 I want to visit Asia and come home with a mail-order bride.
Cantousent Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Okay, apart from the questionable nature of the topic, which inclined me to participate in the thread, I only have one question: Why would you go to Asia to get a mail-order bride? Don't they usually come in the mail? I'd like to have a scar on my hand from breaking a bottle on someone. Actually, I have that souvenir. :D Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

Walsingham Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Scars rock. I'd really like a big facial scar. Couldn't hurt in meetings. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Cantousent Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Pixie, what's gotten into you? You know you can only spam on-topic in the off-topic forum? You don't want prune your posts as a souvenir, do you? Doofus. :D Of course, you might be saying that Paris is your souvenir, but that's a pretty hefty claim, my friend.

Child of Flame Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 If I ever go to Romania, Baley will be my souvenir. I will smuggle him in a duffel bag while using him as a drug mule.

kirottu Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 When I go to Finland I want a bottle of salmiakki kossu(salmiac vodka) and terva snapseja(tar shots). This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
LadyCrimson Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 I like postcards, because they don't take up much space...and you can turn an entire wall into a postcard showcase. :D “Things are as they are.

metadigital Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 If I ever go to Romania, Baley will be my souvenir. I will smuggle him in a duffel bag while using him as a drug mule. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wouldn't that negate his use as a mule, and make you liable for trafficking and kidnapping? (Not to mention importing a dangerous substance: pure spamorama.) Anyways, let's see ... how about Malaria from an equatorial country?

I would take Baley, and if I could not force his consent, I would drug him into giving me consent. B. Trafficking is a greater offense than smuggling immigrants. C. They never suspect the smuggled immigrants to be drug mules too!
