Despite switching to e-mail as your primary method of communication, you still check your mailbox every day to pull the assorted pieces of paper called "bills" that companies keep sending you in their plot to destroy your financial assets. Among the bills, magazines, and flyers for garage sales you also discover that through some interesting twist of fate, you've been placed on the mailing list for ACME catalogues (the online servers having predictably crashed, in true ACME style).
The catalogue is huge, a listing of every ACME product ever produced in their illustrious history (for over fifty years, the leader in creative mayhem), used by such luminaries like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and their biggest customer, Wile E. Coyote (genius). As a first time customer and long time ACME fan, you're being treated with a gift certificate that allows you any item in the catalogue. So what do you choose?
In no time at all you recieve your order and finding yourself pleased by it (as much as you can get with ACME products at least, for over fifty years the leader in malfunctioning gadgetry), you become a regular customer, which is why in a few short months you open your mailbox to find...
The all-new 2000-01 ACME catalogue, showcasing products never seen before in Toontown or beyond. Given ample financial resources, what newly created ACME item will you order?

I'd have to flip between the rocket skates or the Immodium Space Modulator
w/Illudium Q-36. Rocket Skates because they're rocket skates, and the
Modulator because it can blow you into 17,670,002 micro-cells. I wonder how
many zlotniks it would take to buy these?

You've watched that Tiny Toons movie too many times, but staying with that theme, i'll say, for A)
-----A plot hole..... one day after sleeping til 4, i wake up and it's 10years later. I somehow finished college and moved on to open my own successful business......but it's an ACME plot hole, so it probably wouldn't work, and i'd have to get a more expensive one from Macy's or something....grrr
Now, for making up anything i want..... B) something that could turn cartoons into real people.....let them know what gravity is really like....tehehe

ACME, wow, I've always wanted something of theirs, and since a friend of
mine's birthday is in 4 days and I, being a lazy, apathetic
good-for-nothing, have failed to acquire him a present as of yet. This is
the perfect catalog for him, since his downstairs neighbors are a bunch of
unruly yuppies, I order the giant catapult so that he can launch them into
space, and hey, if it goes wrong in some way, what's the harm, it's ACME.
Getting the new catalog too! wow! but what to order, ah, the idea has come to me. I will be going to college upstate, and I won't be able to have a car till I get around to getting a license so I order the deluxe jet pack complete with velvet paracute(maybe it doesn't work so good, but it is stylish) real leather belts and straps, and running on pocket lint, which is the only thing I'll have in ready supply in college. I can't wait to test it out, maybe I should have bought the helmet too.... nah.
DJ Hangman:
Oh, to be young again, and with simple cares, simple desires....
a yard to play in, a bike to ride, and ACME Rocket-Powered Skates. Such are my dreams as I'm sure are the dreams of every small child who wasn't raised by some Red bastards attempting to undermine our fine, democratic country!
Being an "adult" now, I know better than to fear the communists. In fact, I know to laugh at their pathetic attempts to keep control of nations torn by internal violence. And I no longer want Rocket-Powered Skates, either. But an ACME Laser-Tennis set would be cool...
Koulikom:
So there I am, preparing to submerge myself in the wonder that is an ACME
cataalog. ABBA Gold is on the stereo, and as I flip through the pages, I am
amuzed by some items, horrified by others, and just totally confused by yet
others. And then, one of the offerings sends a huge grin across my face, and a
hand reaching for the checkbook. Here it is!
"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, every single company sold only
what it alone could produce. But that was a long time ago, and the modern age
calls for something different. We here at ACME are proud to present the
All this can be yours for ONLY $499.99 + S&H"
(And, since I'm f-ing tired of having to fix my bike all the time, the first
thing I ever ordered from ACME was a pair of rocket skates) ^^
[I also wanted to insert Geobreeders and political science references into
here, but i don't have enough time. So I guess Squaresoft, Eva, Stuy and AOL
should be enough...)
FeyPiper:
And from the 2000-2001 catalogue, I of course choose... you, Pikachu!
No, just kidding. I buy the Radio-Controlled Jackie Chan! Better! Faster! Stainless steel! Able to do more of his own stunts and crawl away than the real article! Controlled by handy r/c pack, will never question your orders to kill without mercy or hurl itself between you and an impending dynamite explosion!

a) cats are only considered small furry animals if under 6 months of age
b) wolverines are only considered small furry animals if under 3 months of
age
c) Lum is NOT to be considered a small furry animal under any
circumstances!
d) via specially licensed technology, the use of Bun-Bun and Kiki as
ammunition is allowed. However, Bun-Bun can only be used as a limit break, if
the user has taken damage equal to 50% of his/her total HP. Kiki can be used
as a level 2 limit break (after 80 kills have been achieved with the Mark
XVII.2), and only after the user has taken damage equal to 90% of his/her
total HP.
e) due to a special relationship between ACME and Mr. Anno Hideaki, Pen-Pen
has been temporarily designated a small furry animal. However, any damage
incurred by Pen-Pen while fired may lead to 3d Impact being triggered
immediately.
I go for the rocket-powered skates like a shot. No more boring gasoline-fueled transportation for me! No sir, I'm for solid fuel and the open road, in my stylish WWI flying ace goggles, catching bugs in my teeth and sending shock waves rattling across the Nevadan mesa.
