when my brother was 3 he claimed that the shutter sounded like "boom bam boom, ding dong ding"

I need a new 35mm camera. Sell me one? I had a Pentax K1000 about a thousand years ago, and I really liked that, so a K1000 or something similar would be cool. I'm not too picky, though. Pretty much doin' government work here.

If nobody can make me an offer, I'm probably just going to wind up buying a K1000 or two off eBay.

Right now I have some Canon piece of crap from the early 1990s and it doesn't work worth a damn in addition to which it has a trashy built-in lens and only automatic focus (the only thing automatic focus is good for is picking out the ultrasonic rangefinder and using it in a robot).

I do not want a digital camera. I have never liked them at all, except for Hey I Just Need to Get a Picture of This Real Quick purposes. I would have to drop $900 to get a digital camera approaching the quality of any random SLR I pick up for fifteen bucks at the thrift store. And fixed plastic lenses piss me right off. Sorry.
