I'm bored, so I thought I'd give this a jump start again.

Object:

My Talyor 710 acoustic with two sets of replacement strings

only two?
I would be scared of the day where theay will be all broken

Oh yeah, the other rule is that whatever you take will be replaced if it's ever broken. I'm making that bit up but anyway.

My solution: these 8 songs are in an invisible loop in the air. You say a command, like "Songs on," and the music begins. Say "Video," and you get either the MTV video or the full cover (back, front, innersleeve, gatefold) of the original LP.

The guitar is stored, in its case, in a climate-controlled, weather-proof bunker.

I have two copies of the book, but FedEx implanted a chip in both to detect when either becomes damaged, in which case they overnight, at no expense to me, fresh new copies.

Hey, it's my fantasy island, right?

That's the spirit!

Can I have pieces as well as songs, or is that cheating?
