Without doubt
To this day I still get upset, when i was like 14 I got the N64. Now this was the dogs bollocks back in the day and if I remember rightly it was like 3 ton :o That was like 1997 aswell!!!!!!!!!
My pride and joy got it on the day it came out proper show off I was all my mates would come round and the rumble pack back then was like WOOOOOWWWWWWWW proper Hi Tech shit. :p
Then my house got robbed about 4 months later and it was gone never replaced, that day ruined my life and I think was the major contributor to my now drug addiction. :eek:
Stock in Enron and Worldcom.
I once bought some really, seriously fucking good drugs for $20. Like they were really, seriously fucking good.
haha I concur this is very helpful little device!Quote:

As for my own favourite purchase, damn I have a few, most really geeky.
My pda, an Ipaq 4700 which I bought for over £400 when they first come out in 2004 and still serves me to this day. I love this device and even now would take it over an iphone any day of the week.
Of course my rowing machine that dominates my lounge and has prolonged the lifespan of my feeble lungs was a great buy too.
I take great pride in my book and CD collections. I've been a bit slow because I have been studying for the past 2 years or so, but I am back on track with a fair few new things which have been keeping me busy.
I've bought other things such as my PS3, but is that the best thing ever? No, not really. I like to play games, but they really aren't a patch on a good book or a good new piece of music. Films are alright, I guess. But it depends.
The best thing would have to be contraceptives, particularly for Bilbo.
Lately, Information, My two dogs who are brother and sister, a diesel auto Hyundi I load silver with no rear side windows, outdoor Spa.
LAst week I bought A statue of Buddah thats four feet high hand carved out of solid stone for $247 I couldn't carve its ear for that price!.Not that im Buddist I just appreciate the art of it.
In the past; 69 acres. A f100 that lasted for years and years. Round the world flight ticket for a year.
Best things I have bout over the last 5 years that come to mind are
1. portable CD player for long drives with the kids....Much better to hear Spongebob rather then Im cramped, i have to pee, are we there yet, stop touching my side of the seat, Dad he's looking at me funny etc....
2. A CPAP machine when I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea
3. Chantix to quit smoking
4. My Dog Sam...Only thing in my life that doesnt complain and truly is happy just hanging out with me.
5. Home circumcision kit
:o
Whats a cpap and a Chantix?Quote:

You'll be amazed what this little tool can do.

I got two of these bad boys now...
The heritage cherry made in USA

And the other one in alpine white color (Japanese made).
I was looking at a '61 SG with THREE humbuckers the other day. Unfortunately, I didn't have $4,500 on me :p.Quote:

My Alpha gear bomber jacket, have it for aroud 10 years now and it doesn't look that old at all, that combined with a good hoodie have been my main winter gear for years and never let me down on a cold day, I,ve beaten it a lot and still, he lives on.
Jean Hyppolite book about Hegel's spirit phenomenology, found it in a used book store for a ludicrous price when that book is out of print now and many people are willing to pay a load more than its initial price to find it, one of the best bargains I made on a book.
Mark you need to buy a computer book.Quote:

I just bought a new suit, I haven't had it tailored yet, but it's one fine suit. 2 button, black suit, with pinstripes alternating from white to black...very classy.
In terms of recent purchases I would have to say my new suits have been good investments. I bought a gray one, a dark pinstriped one and a dark cashmere one. I also bought a number of shirts and ties which really match up well. And not too expensive at all. My trip home was a disaster, but the suits kind of made up for it.Quote:

In order...
1. Things for me... It sounds self centered and asshole like but hear me out. My work out equipment, healthy food, nice clothes. If I feel good and I'm doing good then in turn I will help others.
2. Any type of ticket or candy bar that I have ever bought that was for a great cause. (Fund raisers for all sorts of things. Cancer, AIDS, Abandoned Kids etc. etc.
3. Real Estate
4. Cars
5. Contacts
6. Cell phone
7. I-Pod
8. Camera
9. External HD
10. A pair of gloves that cost me about $25 dlls. now I've been offered $1,000 for 1 of the gloves. ;D
Is this some sort of Michael Jackson reference?Quote:

I just bought a new pair of dress shoes....expensive but should last for ages and should look very nice with my new suit.
I think I am going to look into getting a fine hat, perhaps a strawboater or a nice fedora :toff:
Eventually I want to get a Brooks Brother's hand crafted suit....I also would like to get a 3 piece suit as well....eventually, but now my focus is on a good top coat
We really need to see a picture of you in all this snappy gear Lyle.:cool:Quote:

That along with my Grandfather's cigarette case/lighter has almost made me want to start smoking cigarettes on the regular....I usually will have the occassional cigar, but those times are few and far between.Quote:
