The relic conversation has always made me think of other items that I wish would come relic'd...and I keep coming back to the idea of "relic'd cell phones".
It never fails, it maybe days, weeks or even months...but if I get a new cell phone, sooner or later I will get out of my car with the phone on my lap only to watch the damn thing skate across the parking lot:
So now I want a relic'd phone...one that looks like its got high mileage, worn in and missing most of its color...like a dog might have gotten ahold of it...but new, all at the same time.
Thats my idea *shrug*
You got any?
