People these days don't understand that at one point in time, Labatt 50 was the best selling beer brand in Canada. The fact that Labatt still makes this vestigial product is not well publicized, but it benefits all mankind! All I want is one case of this tasty brew to jump feet first into a time capsule of liquid goodness.... HELP ME! (more)

All it's missing is headlights.. I have 3 kids ages 2yrs, 3yrs, & 2 months... Our family is scattered due to katrina so we have noone to bring us to appts., make groceries etc...

Happiness is... a Cheap Electric Guitar! (2nd try!)

By: sararara

(C'mon guys, help me out!)

My name is Sara, and I am a classically trained musician.

I've played in orchestras performing all over the nation, from places like the White House, to Eisenhower Hall, to Epcot Center. I've studied classical cello and guitar for 11 and 6 years, respectively, and am extremely passionate about what I do.

As much as I love to play classical music, I've also loved playing straight-up riot grrl rock music. Which feels incredible, and sounds great... And I love the option of being able to turn an amp up to ten and play something loud enough to bother the neighbors.

My life's become much more Bikini Kill than J.S.Bach.

I cannot, however, play this on my acoustic guitar, and am screwed when whoever I've decided to borrow an electric guitar from wants it back.

I think it's finally time for my own.

I've fallen in love with a particular white Epiphone Les Paul Custom... Not even a real Gibson Les Paul, but the best I could find in the lower price range.

You know that feeling you get when you hold somebody you love?

I picked this up, struck a chord, and it was love at first C minor.

Problem is, the sucker's about 500 bucks.

I've already saved about 200 towards the cause, but I'm a full-time college student at RIT, a ridiculously intense upstate New York tech school that I'm paying for almost entirely in student loans and my part-time job, and it's starting to feel like I'm never going to be able to spare the rest of this money if I still want to be able to eat, maintain my 3.0 GPA, and to graduate on time, with a full degree.

I work hard, and have worked hard to get where I am.

So please... Help me out.

For the love of noise! (more)

My Pet Monster.

I don't think getting My Pet Monster will cure any illnesses, or allow me to fly, or run any errands beyond screaming wildly on command. But everyone needs a little muscle on their wing. I live in a semi-dicey neighbourhood, and those late nights walks home from the pub would go a lot smoother with My Pet Monster and his inane ranting. The chemically enhanced street people would be no match! Guarantee my safety... PLEASE! (more)

I don't understand why McDonald's would ever take away the tastiest fast food sandwich in the history of the world, the McRib! Ever since its departure, my life hasn't been the same. My vision is blurring. The opposite sex seems to think I've lost 'it'.... my panache, my verve for life!! I need this sandwich to revitalize my being. Jesus would have wanted me to have its BBQ goodness in my digestive foodsac. But most of all, I want this sandwich because it would fight communism and terrorism at the same time. Why would anyone want to fight or be a commie with a ready supply of McRibs?? Game, set, match. Vote for me! (more)

United Africa Society is a non-profit student run organisation. It is terribly difficult for us to accumulate funds as we are minors and therefore cannot register as an official NGO. We are currently raising funds for the refugees of Darfur, who are the victims of a horrific genocide. We have a slide show which we shall be converting into a movie once we have access to the necessary programmes. For more information about and/or our project email us at

I just had my SECOND bike stolen in a month outside where I work. Theives here are so resourceful that apparently not even bike locks can deter them.

So I ask you, not for money to replace my bikes, but money to allow me to hire some goons to seek out these suckers who stole my bike and bust some knee-caps.

If I can find some for a cheaper rate, Ill still pay the full amount and tell the goons to throw in a few head stomps as well. (more)

A Date! I need a date! And to prove something!

By: Jensplace

Here's the thing.

I'm re-submitting this wish because I want to prove a point. The first time I wished this, I was told I was a bad mom and a terrible person for wanting to find happiness. I think most of society disagrees with that outlook.

Also? Always a bridesmaid, never a bride! I've had the second place wish twice now!

I'm a single mom. I've been divorced since May of 2000. I have a full-time job working in an elementary school, and I raise a child with severe autism. He takes up a TON of my time and attention, so I have not really pursued dating at all. I have not had a date since my divorce, and I really would very much like to get out there and meet people!

I am not a club girl. I don't even know where the singles bars are, much less know anyone to hang out with. All my friends are married, and work is not a good place for me to meet single men.

I figure that leaves the internet. I've looked at free sites. Have you seen the personals on Craigslist? SCARY. I don't want random faceless hookups--I'm looking for someone with relationship potential.

I'm getting older. Well, I'm not old, by any means, but I'm not a young single anymore. I want to try something like match.com or eharmony.com. Match.com is $101 for a 6 month membership, with a "Make Love Happen Guarantee", whatever that means. I'd like to take the plunge, so to speak, and dive right into the online dating world. I don't need that extra stuff from Dr. Phil, just the basic membership would be fine!

I'm making some positive changes in my life lately. I'm eating better, I've joined a gym and am working on improving my fitness and losing weight, and I feel really good about my future. I think pursuing a dating relationship is the next logical step!

And since match.com is going to guarantee to make love happen, what have I got to lose? I promise I'll invite everyone who votes 5 stars to the wedding (more)

For many years I have slaved away in a futile attempt to reverse engineer the Colonel's Secret Recipe. That wily Officer of the Olfactory certainly covered his steps well. But I propose to begin a series of overly-complicated industrial espionage campaigns to subvert KFC and liberate the Secret Recipe for all mankind. This is one small step for man.... one, giant leap, for proliferating obesity.
