futureshop!! 

A place that does not actually exist, but if it did would provide an immediate solution.

After a heavy dilema is presented, or a period of silence falls, it is appropriate to call out, "Quick! To the futureshop!!" The idea is that the solution will be within the futureshop!!

The two exclaimation points are totally required, even if it isn't the last word in the sentence.

Guy: Crap, I can't find my hat.
Guy2: Quick! To the futureshop!!
