  • 39 Comments
by John Biggs on October 22, 2008

From Brando:

Millennium Series Pistol Lighter! Come with White LED and Bank Note detector.

Your mission: describe the person who would buy this. I’ll send you something from the pile o’ gadgets in my office. I’m thinking female drug dealer working at a Times Square electronics store.

  • A desperate man with nothing to lose and nothing to gain hes a lone ranger a vigilante if you will. He would have to recently have gotten divorced and is now on a trail to a sovereign state where sovereign people reign with sovereign power. Until his brother Jebediah realizes hey that mini gun would make a great decor’e and soon a chase would ensue where felipe aka pepito the guy who got the cute little gun realizes that he needs to find the person who he bought the gun for before its too late. See this little gun represents sovereign states in all aspects of sovereignty. As soon as he catches the person he bought it for guess what he did? He lit up their ciggy and went home only to return the next day to return the item because hes a cheap basterd and he never keeps things he just buys them uses them and returns them. That my friends is the type of person that would want this item.

  • Gay pimp in a dark town.

  • Crack Dealer in a Dark Back Alley that gets high on his own supply, and is paranoid about counterfeit bills?

  • A wannabe prostitute

  • Andy Dick.

  • Matt Roloff’s crack-addicted brother… who also likes to hold up partially blind bank-tellers to obtain money to further his crack addiction.

  • bad ass midget chain smoker with something to prove! he’d have two, one at his hip and one strapped to his ankle for those special emergencies.

  • A chain smoking, pyromaniac, counterfeiter.

  • A little person, with a habit, a gripe and a cool trigger finger.

    Pictured in the link is a close friend of mine, and while I love him like a brother, he’s bat shit insane. – That’s a BB gun he’s holstering.

    You wouldn’t have to tell him what that thing does, or doesn’t do for that matter. Anything that’s “cool” looking he’ll fork out ungodly amounts of money that he probably had to borrow from multiple unsuspecting family members with the underlying intentions of never paying you back a single penny. In fact, after he spends your money on this toy, he’ll bring $5 of his own money to the bar then persist to have you support for his alcohol addiction for the remainder of the evening.

    True Story.

  • Who would buy a Lamp Lighier?

    Why, I would. Naturally…

  • I’ll send you something from the pile o’ gadgets in my office. I’m thinking female drug dealer working at a Times Square electronics store.

    I don’t think my wife will let me keep her. :( And calling women “gadgets”, that’s just wrong, even if they are drug dealers. For shame, JB, for shame…

  • Josh wins, simply because he put so much effort into his entry. So many words, so little punctuation, no discernible point. That’s a winner.

    But if Josh doesn’t win, I say it’s for kids setting off fireworks in a dark field. Flashlight to make sure the wick is long enough for your escape after lighting it.

    Is it bleach that glows in UV light? I can never remember.

  • Real people should win over fake. BOO!
    Ah, I’m just bitter. Congrats…i guess

  • Ahh man!! Josh sucks. Maybe he’s the one holding the lighter? I smell conspiracy, and it doesn’t involve a grassy knoll.

  • LMAO I cannot believe that my sovereignty has reigned supreme hahahahahaha……..

  • LMAO I cannot believe that my sovereignty has reigned supreme hahahahahaha……..

  • LMAO. JOSH = Burrito Supreme.

  • sooooo what he win?

  • I’ll take an unlocked G1 Android, so that I may, sovereign myself.

  • I’ll take an unlocked G1 Android, so that I may, sovereign myself.

  • Someone who works growing pot buys thinking its a real gun

  • A dumb blonde buys said gun seeking revenge on her boyfriend only to find… oh… my… god… it totally doesn’t work.

  • We all know that Biggs already has one on order, but needs a list of ‘Cool’ people that would buy one too!

  • Duh..Sarah Palin can run around Alaksa with the LED light and pretend to hold people up in the library. She is super good at those shinanagins.

    Actually, I heard she has bought cases of them and is handing them out at all the Alaskan polling places. She passed cupcakes out for the govenors race…but thought she needed to pull out the “big guns” for this race.

    She had them all inscribed with “You Betcha” on the side.

  • Well… (even if this contest is over) I would imagine a Crazed banker thinking that this is a true multitasker (it’s a flashlight, bill detector, and in the worst case scenario, you can threaten people with it without any true danger!)

  • My second vote would be for the ‘Palm Tree Robber’ the dude who tried robbing a gas station with a palm branch and his flip flop!

  • I suggest Pistol Pete, the cashier at the Las Vegas Giant Cowboy Casino, would have one. No, two. His cousin at the Terminator Inn has the modified laser-pointer version by the way.

  • Best Buy/Circuit City. Check to see if the money you use to pay for your merchandise is real and then check you again when you leave the store to make sure you paid for the stuff you’re leaving with.

  • The guy who buys this is a crack addicted, small-time criminal with a shorn scrotum who likes to hold up liquor stores known to accept counterfeit money.

  • I would say a collector, who is fanatic about fake things and has a huge collection of similar crap!

  • Crackheads don’t have money for anything except crack. This is geared toward meth-addicted meth dealers who tout their wares at warehouse raves. Trust me, i’m a doktor, i know wtbbq i’m talking aboot.

  • You know… the sad thing is my friend was trying to find a place to buy this. So, let me just describe him:

    He would be 6′3″ and born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He would have a rugged look, not because it’s fashionable but because he’s too lazy to shave. He works out at the gym but he’s not a muscle-head. He has straight-teeth but a little yellowed out because he smokes. On the weekends, he wears a leather jacket and a muscle-shirt beneath. He wears tight jeans and has a Spanish accent which can sometimes make him sound gay (and yes, he also has a high-pitched voice). He works at a starbuck’s coffee shop and especially hits on 40 year-old women, not because he’s attracted to them or that they’re attractive but that he gets his kicks off of taming cougars.

    As for sports and friends, he has lots and lots of friends and has the coolest gadgets ever. He plays soccer but not American football. He’s a pretty decent soccer player but unfortunately women do not come to watch his games. He meets women at parties and buys drinks for the women even if they aren’t the kind of women who guys buy drinks for. He also collects guns and has a laser pointer fashioned in the shape of a gun.

    But all in all, at the end of the day, he is a good man with a good heart.

  • This is geared towards the “Geeksta” demographic… You know? Those who throw hand gestures to communicate silently between themselves using 8 bit ASCII codes while dealing some cracks (strictly software cracks though).

  • Oh and yes still waiting to hear what the prize is going to be JB!

  • Ok not that I really care at this point but who won JB? Or did you think your readers forgot?

  • Yeah… any resolution on this one?
