Cost: $900 minimum

What you get: A better New Year’s Eve experience than the majority of the world. The Flaming Lips perform Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon live at Cox Civic Center in Oklahoma City, Ok. But you need a variety of things to be absolutely prepared: a ticket to the show ($10-$25 + service charges); round-trip airfare (from Tampa, $225 per person minimum -- someone's got to take them, right?); a place to stay, food, transportation, incidentals ($more + $more + $more??). And each day you procrastinate, the airfare, lodging and even the transportation increases exponentially and unreasonably.

Cost: $150

What you get: The super fan already received this CD set for Christmas in 2006, but it sounds so much better on vinyl ... 62 tracks spread out on 7 vinyl LPs (that’s right -- there are 6 more tracks here than on the discs), and the vinyl package also includes a 94-page book of lyrics and photos. Sadly, it does not come with a flask shaped like Waits’ face.

Cost: $1,000,000

Mr. Gallo will supply sperm for as many attempts as it takes to complete a successful fertilization and successful delivery.

Life-altering Phil Collins painting

click to enlarge

What you get: Only the most important artistic representation of all that is graceful, gifted, and worthy in the heart of man since Michelangelo carved "The David." It’s not a car, home, family, or love you lack -- none of those things create the ambiguous ache lingering at the base of your skull, that reluctant notion bubbling to the surface in your more severe instances of self-contemplation ... that your value to the world is meaninglessness and this life amounts to nothing more than a tedious gauntlet down a long and seemingly endless corridor of brutal anxiety ... until you can look up at the wall, your wall, whenever you want, and feel the healing sensations exuded from every shade, texture, and shadow in the features of the Immortal One, Phil “The Thinking Man’s Elvis” Collins, revealing more purpose and joy to this world than any other entity in all of history, past and future.
