This is random
I was just noodling around on my f'list, where someone on steamfashion was saying that if they were a millionaire, they'd furnish their house with faux antiques, like touchtone reproduction phones and gramophones with CD players and the like. Which put me in mind of one of my old I-won-the-lottery fantasies.
There was a local oil change place that had a life-size animatronic gorilla out front to wave at passing cars. I wanted one like it, and I wanted someone to work a Teddy Ruxpin number on it. I was going to dress the top half of it in a dinner jacket, so it would look like a butler, put a tray in his hand and stand him by my library door (in the terrific house I was going to build with my winnings). There'd be one of those pressure pads under the nearby Persian rug, so that as you walked past, he'd greet you with, "How are we today? May I take your coat? Dinner will be served at 7 PM." and the like. These days, I'd probably pay extra and see if I could get a celebrity to record the voice for me for a donation or something.
I wonder what Jeff's going rate is....
