I Tap My Magic Wand

This is just the coolest fountain. It may appear photoshopped but this actually has a pipe hidden within the water flow that supplies the water. I really have hopes that when I buy "Barbie's Dream House" (the euphemism my daughter and I use for our future house), a smaller version of this will be in my library.

You can have that if you buy a Ripley's BION museum to live in... they come with one (at least, I know the one in St. Augustine does)! ;-)

It woudl be really simple to do. Basically, a source of water, a pond, a barrel, etc. A powerful pump, a clear tube, and something that looks like a faucet. I could make that in under a week.

One of the first impressions I learned as a kid was the Charlie-in-the-box from the Island of Misfit Toys. "Nobody wants a Charlie-in-the-box." Yeah, that really cracked up all the girls in third grade. Go »
A Christmas Story for Christmas
Definitely early for Christmas, but there's an interesting item for auction on ebay that closes in a week or so. Spend Christmas Eve and morning in the house used to film A Christmas Story. I suppose there could be other events to make it a Christmas Con like a movie viewing, a shoot your eye out contest, and stick your tongue to the frozen pole game. Go »

Yeah they had one of those every year at the local fair, and i figured out pretty quick that it's just a clear pipe along the inside...it's cool though.
