What do I want for my birthday and Christmas? 2011 version

[Rasix]

I've been informed that I'm getting some jeans.  Great.

[Furiously]

Maybe you are getting some genes? Or cloned. I'd kinda like a clone. Then I could harvest all their organs.

[Nebu]

... or a baby.  That would be a full set of genes. 

[Sky]

And then you harvest its organs?

Are they going to be skinny jeans?

Are you sure you're not in my family? Because they pull that same bullshit yearly.

What kind of music do you like/want to play?  The main factor in me picking up the guitar (god, that was half a lifetime ago now and I still mostly suck) was that I wanted to be able to play Beatles songs.

I would probably play more folky stuff.  I'm not ever going to be a guy that is trying to play Metallica or what have you.  

Serious suggestion (despite what the name sounds like): Cardboard Dulcimer. It's basically a Mountain Dulcimer with a hardwood fretboard and a (painted) corrugated cardboard body. You can buy them built for ~$60+ and kits from $40 and up. Here, first googled link - http://www.backyardmusic.com

Slightly less serious suggestion: Ask for the parts to make yourself a diddley bow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye7HUtmxrJk

Maybe I should just opt for a musical saw.

A recorder is a cheap way to get into folk/traditional music and learn to read music.

[K9]

A beard is an even cheaper way to get into folk music!
