I'm already living my geek dream job as an auto designer.

But, if I had to choose another, though....
I don't know if I could choose just one. It's between driving a Porsche 997 GT2 RS at Nurburgring.

Or watching 24 hours of Le Mans (IRL).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMljkFGw268
Or test driving Ferraris for a living.

ETA: Probably this one. My geek dream would be to have Jeremy Clarkson's job.

I kind of collect Dunnys. What's a Dunny you ask?
These are Dunnys
I have about 30 or so right now and there are literally hundreds that have been designed. I have a set of the Azteca set that they put out a few years ago so I'm kind of stoked that they are making an Azteca 2 set.
One thing I love about them is that they are blindbox so you never know if you'll be getting that typical 3/25 figure or that uber rare 1/500 figure.

I've never seen or heard of them. They're really cute. How long have you been collecting them?

About 5 years now. I don't buy them often. Probably about 10 a year at the most. They have so pretty outrageous designs at times. Like one thats all vaginas (I'm serious lol) that was part of the Tattoo series.

Did you see it Sunday night? It's not a bad show and it could be more focused than Heroes was. The bad guy looks like he COULD be a bad guy in real life. and Keith David? ....yeah count me in!
More about the comic here

They showed it on Sunday? I didn't see it. I've never heard of him, until I saw it advertised. Thanks for the comic link. I was a little disappointed to see that he's a DC character, though.  I kinda figured that based on the commercial I saw. He kinda reminds me of Batman, I just hope he's not just as lame as Batman. I guess I'll know Monday.

Planes can fly, but humans can't.

And we never will be able to fly (on our own). When I said "geek dream" I meant something that could be a possibility. Human beings sprouting wings and flying is impossible.

Stop harshin' our dreams, yo.
Individual flight is certainly possible, given a small/safe enough power source, personal jet-packs are within the realm of possibility. As is some sort of personal anti-gravity. Not any time soon, per se, but if we crack cold fusion (or make an unrelated yet still awesome discovery) it's there.

Little Big Planet 2 today!!!!!!!!!
Collector's edition of course.
In Feb, Marvel vs Capcom 3...now if they would just say Mega man is going to be in it and stop making me wait. Oh and Dante from DMC has 40 special moves...that is absurd. I will master him and he will love me. Love his Demon form Super combo
