If you could have 50lbs of anything, what would it be?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

I'll chime in with my 50lb need after I tend to the garden (which hasn't seen the sun in 3 weeks).

Oh how I've missed playing in the dirt.

ciao for now

[malta blue]

1. something green

:smoke:

That would make the rain much more bearable.

[fight4my3sons]

2. yes

:thumbsup:

my first thought

[malta blue]

16. GMTA

:pals:

[Xipe Totec]

56. Yes!

50 pounds of 100 dollar bills...

[Iggo]

3. Meth.

And then I'd be dead.

[MineralMan]

4. 50 lb. of top grade diamonds, 1 ct and larger.

Then, I'd sell them and give 80% of the proceeds to charities of my choice.

[NJmaverick]

5. Anti-matter

I could rule the world:evilgrin:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

6. Praseodymium.

Just coz it sounds funny.

[Sentath]

50. tantalum?

supposed to be very expensive. Tho crystal carbon would be more fun to try to explain.

[Kali]

7. I'd like a 50lb burlap bag of 100 dollar bills, please.

Shit, I'd be happy with ones!

[madinmaryland]

8. +100

[fizzgig]

27. that was my first thought

although malta's idea is a good one, too :D

[dysfunctional press]

36. bearer bonds.

like the ones those japanese guys were taking into switzerland recently...

http://seekingalpha.com/article/143462-strange-inconsistencies-in-the-134-5-billion-bearer-bond-mystery

“Italy’s financial police (Guardia italiana di Finanza) has seized US bonds worth US 134.5 billion from two Japanese nationals at Chiasso (40 km from Milan) on the border between Italy and Switzerland. They include 249 US Federal Reserve bonds worth US$ 500 million each, plus ten Kennedy bonds and other US government securities worth a billion dollars each. Italian authorities have not yet determined whether they are real or fake, but if they are real the attempt to take them into Switzerland would be the largest financial smuggling operation in history; if they are fake, the matter would be even more mind-boggling because the quality of the counterfeit work is such that the fake bonds are undistinguishable from the real ones.”

[femmocrat]

9. Puppies!

I miss having a puppy to cuddle. :)

[LynneSin]

10. You realize that'll come with 500lbs of puppy poop and gnarled shoes

just a warning

[femmocrat]

11. ROFL

That's OK... I can take it. Little puppy kisses make it all worthwhile. :)

[Fran Kubelik]

12. 50 pounds of weight loss, please

Thank you.

[1gobluedem]

13. Gold

It keeps its value according to Thom Hartman.

[EndersDame]

14. Gold Pressed Latinum

;)

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. You beat me to it

[EndersDame]

32. I have been rewatching a bunch of DS9 episodes lately

Quark really was a well thought out and lovable character

[GreenPartyVoter]

37. Yes. He was fully 3 dimensional, which was very nice.

[ElboRuum]

65. Yes, he had length, width, AND depth.

[NJmaverick]

49. I thought that was the second best series

after the original. Although I think most Trek fans would differ.

[EndersDame]

81. Those are my favorite series as well. You got to see a more human side to the characters

And they were not all uptight and shiny Starfleet officers. Kirk and Sisko had balls and got aggressive . We saw that the crews were not completely Asexual and they could enjoy a good drink none of this Synthehol crap :silly: We also got to see more of the crew as people and not just always on duty. They actually had friends.Don't even get me started about the complexity of the characters or universe for them (which did not just exist with in the hull of the starship)

[NJmaverick]

83. I never really thought about it

but you certainly nailed it as to why I liked the series better. Realistic people make a huge difference.

[JTG of the PRB]

59. Nice post, Quark!

:P

[EndersDame]

80. I want to see a bling centered hip hop video featuring Quark

About all of his hustlin' for the game and all of his wealth and material acquisitions and to top it off all of his dabo girls could be back up dancers

[WildEyedLiberal]

82. Win

:thumbsup:

[Richardo]

15. I don't know but something tells me I'd only have a 20lb sack

That's the way it's been going lately :eyes:

[Bucky]

21. If you really had a twenty pound sac...

you'd walk funny.

[Heidi]

17. Miracle Whip.

:9

[LynneSin]

18. HEY!!!

No Sex Threads

:rofl:

[Heidi]

19. Oops.

I must admit that my love for Miracle Whip borders on the "oh-so-tingly." :rofl:

Mornin', LynneSin! :hug:

[Bucky]

20. I would like to open up a 50 lb can of whup ass.

with which I would proceed to whup 50 pounds off my ass.

[ElboRuum]

64. I think Chuck Norris has one.

[SteppingRazor]

22. 50 pounds of lutetium should be good for about a quarter mil or so. n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. gold

[RebelOne]

24. 50 pounds of $100 bills would be nice. n/t

[Wapsie B]

53. Beat me to it.

[hunter]

25. Plutonium 238.

I could keep my house warm and my water hot for a long, long time.

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. Lutetium for me, too

[Spacemom]

28. 50 pounds of world peace

then I'd take it up into the atmosphere and aerosolize it somehow. Then it would rain peace all over the world. :D

[Fran Kubelik]

38. that's a beautiful thought

:loveya:

[SoxFan]

29. Gold

Currently trading at +/- $930 per ounce.

[nini]

31. emeralds

.

[LibertyLover]

33. 50 pounds of greyhound

ready and willing to curl up on the couch and cuddle.

[bif]

34. Shrimp

[dysfunctional press]

35. saffron

meth or coke would be worth A LOT more- but at least i could sell the saffron legally.

[Brother Buzz]

39. 50 pound sack of hammer heads

Eclectic hobby, for sure, but I love finishing things like these. When I finish them, they would be museum quality hammers fit for the finest blacksmith shop in the realm.

[Kali]

51. so that would be about 5 to 10 of 'em?

;-)
man it would be nice to have somebody put a handle on a couple of ous that would last longer than a week. (nevermind the males around here get firewood by using a sledge on dead mesquite trees :eyes: )

[Brother Buzz]

57. More like 15-22

Don't need many three and four pounders. 2 - 2 1/2 pounds might be the ideal weight for most projects.

Replacing handles is a mixed bag. The economics screams stay away from it because a good replacement handle costs more than a crappy Chinese hammer. I only doctor fine old American or European forged heads. The price of handles shot up a few years ago so I started carving my own handles out of Ash, Hickory, Oak, Brazilian Mahogany (Honduras Mahogany grown in Brazil :shrug:), and Osage Orange.

I'm crazy 'cause I also repair shovels, hoes, axes, splitting mauls, and just about anything else that deserves a second life. Again the mystery is rears its ugly head: Why does a replacement hoe handle costs more than an entire brand new crap hoe made in China?

[Kali]

60. yeah - that drives me up the wall

I was raised to first of all, TAKE CARE of tools. But to fix things if you can. Tools are like what two or three pieces? They should be easily repairable. I mean I can KIND OF see crappy cheap electronics needing to be chucked, but I HATE throwing shovel heads away. Why is a handle more than the whole tool????:wtf: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[LaraMN]

40. Awesomeness.

To add to the eighty thousand pounds I'm already the owner of.

Livin' the dream. Livin the dream.

[dugaresa]

41. platinum

[northernlights]

42. creme broulee

or krugerrands, with which I could buy even more creme broulee.

[scheming daemons]

43. boobs

[scheming daemons]

44. boobs

[cherish44]

45. 50 pounds of scratch off lottery tickets

Maybe I'll win something for once

[av8rdave]

46. diamonds

[graywarrior]

48. Rice syrup

God, I go through a jar a week.

[rcrush]

52. bacon

[midnight armadillo]

69. No, turbaconducken!

[dembotoz]

54. 5o pounds english--and to be in london today to spend it

actually not that much money and i would need a plane ride home and a valid passport.

but it would sure beat being here.

[WinkyDink]

55. Cheney's head. Hold the platter.

[Moondog]

58. Rubies and sapphires, with excellent coloration. Flawless. 1 - 3 cts each.

Leaked slowly into the market, I could fund an amazing amount of charitable stuff, over a number of years. It would be epic.

[petronius]

61. Jessica Alba

;)

[ElboRuum]

63. Be specific as to the parts you want... I'm pretty sure she's more than 50lbs.

[petronius]

66. I figured the OP would let me go a bit over for such a good choice

I'm pretty sure any specificity would lead to a lock... ;)

[ElboRuum]

62. 25 lbs of feathers and 25 lbs of bricks.

So that I can prove once and for all that they do indeed weigh the same.

[NightWatcher]

67. sticky bud

[Obi Wan Jesus]

68. Gold?

how much would that be anyway?

according to google, it would be $753,200.00

[Deja Q]

70. Dolly Parton's boobs

:hide:

[Arugula Latte]

71. Kitties, definitely. Actually, come to think of it, I probably do have almost 50 lbs. of kitties

if you throw the bunny into the mammal mix.

[meow2u3]

72. Kitty food

My cats could use some canned food weighing a net of 50 lbs. That would be about a 6 month supply, especially with Max's size. He's a big cat who eats me out of house and home. Ruby doesn't eat very much, except maybe for tuna, chicken, and turkey, not to mention beef.

[mix]

73. i was going to say spermaceti

but i don't want to kill the whale

[Swede]

74. Cheddar cheese

[DevinKline]

75. pixie sticks

[mwooldri]

76. 50 lb removed from my weight.

Seriously, I need to lose some weight. Last measure I was 187, I need to be under 150 to be "normal". I'm 5'5" btw.

[crim son]

77. Lobster.

Or plastic surgery. :P

[gardenista]

78. I've got the ultimate already. My doggie. nt

[quakerboy]

79. Working on an answer

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-most-expensive-substance-in-the-world.htm

Antimatter= 50lbs*453g/lb*62,500,000,000/gram= $1,415,625,000,000,000
Hafnium isomer=50 lbs*16 oz/lb*480,000,000/oz=384,000,000,000
Diamond 50 Lbs*453g/lb*5carat/g*1,320,000/Carat= $14,949,000,000
Gold 50lb*16 oz/lb*$930/Oz= $744,000
Saffron 50 lbs*453g/lb*$9/Gram = $203,850

Of course, 50 lbs of super high grade diamonds, in the right sizes and cut/polished exactly right are much less likely to spontaneously disappear or cause explosions or cancer. Plus it has a somewhat greater group of target consumers, and a much lower likelihood of somehow being turned into the new greatest bomb and leaving you with a lifetime of regret.

But if you feel you need that extra 300 billion or alternately the the extra quadrillion, 4hundred trillion, 600 billion and change, and you don't think the govt would just seize your property and offer you no renumeration, you do what you must.

Myself, I would prefer not to have a homogeneous substance. Some diamonds, some platinum, some other gems. Some large bills from various countries, Some really good pepper and a couple great steak. And a real working light saber. You can fit a lot in a 50 LB allotment.

[Heidi]

84. Day 2: BBQ Fritos!

[Baclava]

85. Something purple
