What should I be spending my money on cupcake?

[Cap285Participant 6007]

I went out to breakfast today then stopped at Target to buy these:

The girl asks me if I want a gift receipt, to which I reply: “Uh, they’re for me.”

I get that weak laugh that reeks of condescension. They get completely p~~~ed when money isn’t being spent on them. Oh, I ordered two video games also.

When is that magical, mythical time in a mans life when he should spend all his time and money on women?

Fuck this planet.

That’s awesome. I just put in a bid on fleabay for a working SGI O2 with all the peripherals and software. So far no one’s attempted to outbid me.

[Cap285Participant 6007]

Spend your money on you!

Fuck this planet.

I got the Darth Maul lightsaber (the expensive Force FX one that was about $200) nearly 10 years ago, and women STILL laugh at how much I spent on that.  As if the hundreds they spend on dresses and makeup that all look the same so they can pretend they’re wanting to fit in with their females and not attract men isn’t ridiculous?  It still works perfectly and looks glorious displayed, so I agree with Cap, spend your money on you if it makes you happy!  Star Wars is awesome, anyway.

Cool. My buddy ordered the Double Helix from Parksabers when we placed our order. I have the FX Luke ESB on display in my place.

Think about how much they spend on just shoes. Wear them once, then they go out of style never to be worn again. What do they spend on Starbucks? Expensive booze? Spas? Our lightsabers will be on the wall forever because, as you said, Star Wars is awesome and the lightsaber is the greatest sci-fi weapon ever created.

When it comes to t~~~s, money not spent on them is money wasted. They laugh at your Maul lightsaber? Kick them the f~~~ out.

Fuck this planet.

Cap – what is funniest about her reaction is she would be one of the new “cool geek girls” who claim to like all things nerdy because it is now in fashion…the ones who go to watch the latest Marvel films but when it comes down to real stuff like this they revert to type and turn their nose up.

Those figures are awesome btw

In the past 6 months I treated myself to a new:

▪ Camaro SS LS3

▪ Kawasaki ZX14

▪ Another Fender Stratocaster

And I’m about to buy myself another large caliber handgun.

Damn it feels good to be a REAL MAN!  HA!

HISTORY...learn from it, memorize it, DON'T repeat it...

You a collector?

The Children of Doom... Doom's Children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the Earth... Ha! Time enough for the Earth in the grave.

[BrainPilotParticipant 7640]

I got multiple trucks and a garage full of power tools… some I’ve only used once for a single project.

Her: Why do you have all those power tools in your garage that I never see you use?

Me: With my tools, I maintain or if necessary, rebuild the house I live in. I do all the maintenance on three trucks, two motorcycles and a jet ski. How many shoes do you have in your closet?

Her: I don’t know, but it’s not the same…

Me: I use my tools to get things done. You use your clothes and shoes to get things done for you.

Her: My way is easier.

Me: When I’m an old man, my tools will still work for me. ;-P

Look, it's not my fault that tornado dropped a house on your sister. Now get back on your broom and get your ass out of here... and take your monkeys with you

[Governor Megachris%Participant 3584]

I still have women getting onto me for wanting to save up for things that I WANT to get this year after I pay off my debts.  Things include:

– Ford Excursion (I had one last year and LOVED it.  Stupid car dealership apparently didn’t have the legal rights to sell it, so they had to take it back) and parts to fix it up and make it even more awesome (I did the same with my ’94 T-Bird I own now, but it’s going to die any day now I’m sure)
– A nice new tool set (not a cheaply made one…one that will last YEARS)
– Count Dooku Force FX lightsaber…just because
– An Access TI Virus keyboard…because I’m feeling ridiculously artistic lately and I want to make loads of music with it (I believe I got it from my dad)!
– A composite bow or crossbow

I suppose I’m a collector in a unique way…

though I’m mostly called a “hoarder” by the women I know.  I like owning “different” things that I like that they don’t like for whatever reason.

Yes. Starting over as I sold most of my stuff while married and the rest burned when her hair dryer shorted and started a fire.

Thank you Jim. The large scale Black series are very cool.

Quite correct about “Cool geek girls”. When it comes down to hardcore geekdom, they fail….and of course, they’re still girls and money not spent on them is money wasted.

Fuck this planet.

I am enjoying the list of toys you all have bought for yourselves.

Fuck this planet.

I purchased a new computer. A girly box with a cloud!(windows 8) I returned it. I can’t buy anything that doesn’t reek of perfume! I may as well buy a hooker! If perfume comes with everything I purchase, at least a hooker I can enjoy! And don’t have to go through the trouble of returning her.

 

OK MG, it’s kinky, but I’ll do that too…

It might sound a bit crazy, but there are tons of classic/old/obscure computers out there that don’t have any of that girly stuff and are completely usable and maintainable. The only downside is they aren’t exactly state of the art and most of them don’t do windows or osx. But in the future it may be the only way to have a serious computer if this t~~~ifying trend continues.

Just tell em’ “Yeah. They’re for me. I suppose I could p~~~ the money away on buying my deadbeat girlfriend yet another overpriced pair of crappy shoes she don’t even need, but that would be just plain stupid. Han and Chewie are sooo much cooler. Definitely a better use for my money.”

[33wolfmanParticipant 216]

Since I lost the parasite I have been able to get parts for truck, parts for lawn tractors and tools. I must say I went a little crazy at first being it was the first time in ten years where I was able to get the stuff I wanted. Screw what anybody else thinks, if it’s something you want and it has meaning to you get that stuff!

Well, I happen to like cupcakes. Cupcakes are delicious.

Telescope optics, hard shell cases for my gear and a teardrop trailer. And a trip to Iceland and a hooker. And yes, I customized the trailer and can fit all my astronomy gear in it… and yes, the hooker was exactly what I wanted and needed at that moment in time. And yes, I’m going back to Iceland and definitely calling that hooker again.
