If you're aready a regular practitioner one bad habit, you're probably not adverse to trying another, so why not just get a whole bunch in a sampler pack?

Gambling not addictive? These folks might take issue with that statement. [migennes, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

       Does it include incest and suicide options ?

       Dimandja: what were my other two strikes?   

       8th: no

       Edited to take out parts dealing with religion as i doubt i could sell neighbors wives anyway.

bobofthefuture, Feb 09 2003
  

       So it would contain, what?   

       Cigarettes.
Vodka.
Marijuana cigarette.
Heroin.
Porn.
Chocolate.
Tetris arcade machine.
Pizza with cheese-filled crust.
Toenail extensions for biting.
Pack of cards, poker chips and copy of Hoyle's Rules of Games.
Six racehorses.
DSL connection to the Halfbakery.
  

       Do you have one already made up?

pottedstu, Feb 09 2003
  

       yes, i meant what you said pottedstu, but no i dont have one made up yet... perhaps my pick-a-packetorium could whip up a few travel sized ones though.

       Having experimented exhaustively, I have had to prioritize my vices, to get the most fun from my budget.

FloridaManatee, Feb 10 2003
  

       Maybe (to keep this fun) it should be restricted to items which are habit forming rather than all-out addictive. I realise this could be contentious in itself (what exactly is addictive?) but, for instance, I would not consider chocolate or gambling to be addictive, whereas heroin would be. No point utterly destroying yourself in the process.

egbert, Feb 10 2003
  

       Private aviation is very habit-forming. Mabe you should include that.

8th of 7, Feb 10 2003
  

       Jello shots perhaps...

Brain Fuct, Mar 20 2003
  

       Alright, we've got the drugs and gambling. Where's the prostitution and racketeering? I want it all!

snarfyguy, Mar 20 2003
  

       perhap it would be a hit, like the combo meal of hell-worthy traits. I'll take nail biting and compulsive drinking, with a side of cursing.

       [8th of 7] suicide...a vice?

BrianMaiden, Apr 15 2003
  

       you're going to need a supersize for gluttony. +!

       My Suggestion: Cheap prostitute Vaseline 9v battery Gerbil   

       Hand Grenade (possible upgrade to grenade launcher) 2 cartons Rave Cigs. (anything that bad isnt habit forming) lighter 1/2 gallon Rum (easier to stomach than vodka) the drug sampler back (as featured in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) 2 lbs chocolate assorted rock cd collection Gaming computer W/ Everquest and a dsl connection   

       I think this covers the main vices sex, drugs, rock and roll, violence, smoking and chocolate, and they combine into so many interesting combinations. If i was stuck on a desert island and could only take thirteen things, i'd take this list, and a plane.

slyphter, May 14 2003
  

       Here are some more suggestions for the package:   

       A charasmatic preacher. Depression inducing pill. A can of coke. A Mc burger and fries. A television. A snooze button for the alarm clock. An abusive spouse. Spouse abuse instructions.   

       Caution: all the above if tried once can be horribly habit forming (possibly with the exception of the burger.)

peterpeter, Aug 24 2003
  

       I find this all very amusing and exciting.........especially the flurry of Vulcan-mind-melding going on. Yessiree, put me down for a 12 pack, please!   

       Somebody give this genius more pastry icons, now!

       I'm only young still do you have starter kits?

Gulherme, Sep 01 2003
  

       Spin off to: Vice Island, a fantasy vacation destination. Better yet: Club Self-Med.   

       I see packaging it like those little box samples of cereal.
