Frivolous Spending

[longshot]

What kind of junk or "essential" things have you bought recently?

I bought a designer USB flash drive...

I needed it. Really. I swear...

EDIT: Let's keep this to real things, and not Gemstone items.

[Celephais]

That's a sweet one eyed monster you got there.

[Martaigne]

48 million in silvers.

[sst]

On Saturday i finally bought my 42 inch LCD http://www.sharpusa.com/products/ModelLanding/1,1058,1922,00.html

And my 40G PS3

I don't understand why everyone does not have a PS3 its about 40$ more than a BlueRay player and well its a PS3!

[longshot]

48 million in silvers.

Um... that's great. I think.

Can we keep this to tangible items? Sorry I didn't specify that in the first post.

"A shimmering greatcloak with a dwarf ravaging a sheep in the pale moon light patterned in sequins" is not where I wanted to take this.

My bad.

I recently bought a new wireless USB thingy, mainly because my old wireless card for some reason quit on me. I blame Vista.

Other than that, I don't really buy anything except beer/vodka tonics/coke/food.

But then again, up until 5 minutes ago I was paying monthly for three Simu accts and a WoW acct.

Edit: Check that, I recently renewed my cell phone acct and got a Blackberry when I suppose I could have gone much more simple.

Right now I'm on a pretty tight budget so I've been pretty disciplined about making non-sensicle purchases.

I found this off digg...

"The 10 Most Difficult to Read Tokyoflash Watches"

http://www.neatorama.com/2008/01/21/the-10-most-difficult-to-read-tokyoflash-watches/

They're like the ultimate conversation piece.

EDIT:

On a separate note, is there a way to upload pictures to this site, and then put them in a post so the actual picture shows up in a thread, and not just a link to the picture? I remember the old site hand a picture gallery where you could do this. I feel kind of shitty linking to pictures on other sites.

Don't respond here... just PM me.

[Bobmuhthol]

I wouldn't buy a Sharp :(

But I'm buying a 26" Toshiba for my dorm room on Friday. Go employee discounts!

What year is the mustang WB?

[Jayvn]

I got a new USB flash drive as well :) it's a little Lost surfboard.. 2 gig, it looks cool as hell...cause..it's a surfboard...

[Warriorbird]

2002, Dave. It's not extra awesome (a friend of mine has a 68) but I've been satisfied with it so far.

It had decent reviews and I could not pass up the price on it. I am very satisfied so far with it

Damn i was thinking it was around a 68, would have demanded pictures =) Preferably with a women leaning over the hood or something. Oh well ill just google it and see what i can find.

As long as it appreciates in value, I'm cool with it. ;)

Haven't paid for it yet, but have committed to buying a canon digital camcorder.

[Parkbandit]

Planning on buying a new cell phone.

[Celephais]

A bit more than a week ago I bought a new monitor, 24" WUXGA and some more ram (2gb->4gb). Every day I've been fighting the urge to buy a PS3, but I'm going to need a blu-ray eventually, so I think I'll fold when the MGS bundle comes out. So many things I want to just waste money on...

[RichardCranium]

Ipod touch for my son's b-day, new flashdrive for me, new clothes for myself and my wife. Possibly a PS3 when I get my rebate check.

[AnticorRifling]

I got the wife and her best friend reservations at a day spa. They are both teachers (she has first grade and her friend third grade this year) so I made them reservations for a day of relaxation on the last day of school, kids are released at 11AM and their appointment is for noon.

[Keller]

My wife bought me tasting menu + wine pairings at Spago for my graduation. I guess, since I'm the one with the job, I bought it for myself.

Don't you love that. Birthday, Christmas, Father's Day.... I buy my own gifts without knowing what they are until I open them, it's bullshit.

I've thought about doing the wine pairings/tasting but my wife hates wine so that will be one I'll have to save for when she kicks me out.

[Misun]

This: (but don't tell my kids, I would have to share it then.)

I may just be extremely whipped ( probably ) but my wife hasn't worked for 3 years and she buys me shit all the time and that's not the way I look at it. I mean, it's our money even though I earn it.

I don't think that y'all have kids but I do my share of watching mine and there's no way I would trade spots with her.

[Stretch]

I bought a new suit for a wedding I'm going to on Sunday, even though I have five suits and a tux already.

In my own defense, I didn't really want to show up to a reception in pinstripes.

[J.P]

I recently purchased a laptop and a xbox360. I already own a PS3 and decently working laptop.

I didn't think he was downplaying his wife's contributions. Got the feeling he was just trying to point out that he contributes monetarily. Not that one is better than the other.

Edit: If I'm wrong and that isn't what he meant then...he can kiss my fucking ass.

:P

[Daniel]

I flew my family and immediate friends out to DC fo my graduation, put them in a five star hotel and took them out to dinner @ a nice ass restaurant.

For 5 of them, it was their first time riding on an airplane and my friends little brother decided that he wanted to go to college.

4 grand well spent.

Now i'm not spending shit through the summer.

Eagle 2002 hard top camper. Wheeeee...

Why would you not want to show up in pinstripes? I'm fashionably challenged and am attending a wedding in two weeks, so this is a serious question.

[Trouble]

For me, I'm buying a laptop as soon as I can commit to one. I'm looking for something small and light, but could play a game if it had to. I'm thiking the Dell XPS 1330. I already have an old laptop and a desktop. Oh, I'm also looking at making myself another desktop too, in case I decide to try Conan.

I spend frivolously all of the time though. Between the cafeteria, food court, happy hours, pizza, and other unnecessary crap, I probably blow 200 a week.

You have a big raid in WoW planned.. don't you.

If you hated getting ganked in WoW, you will absolutely hate AoC on a pvp server. It's a complete free for all environment.

[Trouble]

Yeah I've already decided if I try any other game it will be on a PvE server.

[TheEschaton]

I need to commit to buying a gaming desktop. Playing WoW on my laptop isn't cutting it any more, and I might want to try AoC once the gankfest has died down.

Any good suggestions on desktops? My current one is from 2003, so lol at that. And don't suggest Alienware, bob.

My wife's contributions this last year are that she rented a one bedroom apartment in the center of Paris and spent a shit-fuck-ton of money. I'm a little bitter.

What's wrong with Alienware? My J recently bought one (laptop) and he loves his. It's heavy as FUCK though. I took it to campus a few times and my shoulder hurt from carrying it around, heh.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<And don't suggest Alienware, bob.>>

You think I'm fucking retarded or something? I've never suggested Alienware. God, Dell and Alienware, the shittiest combination known to man.

Box tickets for the Black Crowes at Wolf Trap in August. Fuck yeah!

[AnticorRifling]

I'm currently using a rig I built at cyberpowerpc.com and it's working good for me thus far, and I guess it woud be considered a frivolous expense.

[Sean]

I've been too lazy to shave since I got back from vacation and my beard is getting out of control and all Kimbo Slicesque so after joking around about it me and my friend randomly bought tickets to his fight on the 31st at the Rock.

[Stanley Burrell]

I got pissed off two and a half months ago at not finding dress shoes at Payless that wouldn't not do the thing, where if you wear them for a day, they end up fucking your outer ankle up. I ended up dishing out $200-something bucks for a pair of Mephistos.

SSDD with some $100 sandals, also made by Mephisto, which have seen more foot than a Klaive fetish. Probably shoe and clothing-related stuff, when I rarely do buy shoe and clothing-related stuff, which is pretty much never. I think if I was patient, and wanted to use words in sentences that took the form of questions, directed at women/men-women, I could probably save myself money. I don't take it beyond "Cool sneaks, man."

We could probably save a lot of money on our wardrobe if we asked lotsa queer/metro inquiries. Life is complicated.

Now to wait for Zep to actually tour themselves...Why? So you can watch them do dialysis?

[Augie]

This weekend I have a house full of people for my Baby Shower #1. I haven't done the spending yet, but we have reservations for 8 at a Japanese Steakhouse and we're going to foot the bill without anyone knowing...we'll be stealthy ninja like.

Plus we always BBQ for Memorial Day so we'll have even more people than that here on Sunday for the traditional food outing.

It seems frivolous, but the time will be well spent surrounded by family and friends and booze I can't drink....well...the booze I can't drink part will suck heh.

[Revalos]

Why? So you can watch them do dialysis?

When Keith Richards starts doing dialysis, I'll start worrying about Robert Plant and Jimmy Page doing dialysis. Until then...old guys can still rock.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I got a couple of dog harnesses that strap to the seatbelt of my mustang so I can drive around with the top down without worrying they'll jump out.

Robert Plant is too busy touring with Allison Krauss

[Latrinsorm]

Keith Richards doesn't have any fluids left in his body, what would the point of dialysis be?

2. I cannot find a clip on YouTube of South Park's first "God" episode. There is such an epic depiction of Rod Stewart on tour that I cannot find in order to post as a hyperlink, and I shall now crawl into at least 3 corners, simultaneously, and QQ. Fuck shit.

You didn't try very hard...

It wasn't THAT recently, but I bought a leather corset with all sorts of hot buckles at I-Con. Not exactly a smart purchase considering I'm jobless at the moment. :/

Just bought the Logitech MX Revolution mouse/keyboard.

It's the quietest and most comfortable wireless keyboard/mouse I could find.
