- A signed copy of Eleanor Herman's Sex with the Queen.
- Ghost of the Robot's new album Murphy's Law (even if part of the proceeds will be used to get Charlie de Mars some cigarettes while he's in a California jail, but what else is new?).
- Pizza rolls from Mr. Plinkett. "Who's been ****in' with my medicine?!"
- For my book to be published.
- All of my student loans magically disappear.
- And for all the little children in the world to hold hands and sing.

lol is Charlie really in jail?

Yes, he got drunk/was under the influence of something, wrecked his Jeep, and killed his girlfriend (Megan Murphy) in the process. He pleaded guilty and only got two years. What was really creepy was GOTR super-fangirls going on the news websites reporting it, bemoaning that "poor Charlie" has already "suffered enough" while the dead girlfriend's family remind them that at least Charlie's friends and family will get to see him again (can actually see him right now), and they will never see Megan again. After years of Charlie's irresponsible behavior within fandom, I really have no sympathy for him, and I don't really want to buy an album that might make him a profit (especially because he's milking the fact that his girlfriend is dead and he's so "sad" about it but making all the merchandise GOTR is selling about her- "What Would Megan Do?" bracelets and the album is named after her- "Murphy's Law"). I want the album, but I'd rather pirate it than give that man any money. Now, if the money for that merchandise went to Miss Murphy's family, then I might consider purchasing it.

The cover of the album is a lemonade stand on the side of a road... It just seems very crass.
