I just spent $12 on lunch from Wendy's. Considering that generally I don't spend more than $5 (due to rice or pasta or whatever), this is decadent.

And for once I am actually not still hungry.

[Lines]

$12 at Wendy's is decadent in a weird way. I don't think I've ever spent more than $6 there, but I usually get value menu stuff, so it's usually $3-4.

[calenlass]

Yeah, well, I got the chicken-bacon-swiss dealy plus fries and a drink, also a baked potato and a frosty float.


It is delicious.

[Patrick]

1. When I posted the link for Italia Guitars, I fucked up the URL without knowing it.
2. I wasn't specific either.

Seriously, how sexy is this thing:



That is something I'd be more than happy to blow a grand and a half on.

[Verergoca]

Hmmm, outfitwise...

Sweater: Jameson thinger from the parentals, prolly €40
tshirt: Really cool shirt i bought in the skytower in auckland: $NZ 50
Pants: 2 fer 50 deal, so €25
Undies: Oroton niceness: $AU 25
Socks: nice new ones €2ish
Shoes: Gaastra stuffs, €70

So thats around uhm, €137, $NZ50, $AU 25?

Its comfy and warm though (and saltstains on the sweater, but i dont give a damn), so all is well

Damn. That's just above my average total.

I like to go for a Large Baconator meal with a couple five pieces on the side. This brings me, on average, to about ten bucks.

This just goes to show that I am a big fat kid.

[calenlass]

Dude let's not even talk about what a fatty I am.


My ass is like a zeppelin.

[dennis]

My ass is like a zeppelin.

Full of hydrogen gas and given structure by an aluminum rib framework?

[redglasscurls]

Engineered by Germans and prone to explosions?

[pilsner]

I think she means that it was designed and maintained by this man:



Hawt.

[öde]

My ass is like a zeppelin.

öde has added Big Asses, and Airships to his interests.

It looks like Italia guitars have discontinued my favourite model. I am both angry and sad.

[RedLion]

Mmm, count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, how you make a man sing.

[Lines]

Yeah, well, I got the chicken-bacon-swiss dealy plus fries and a drink, also a baked potato and a frosty float.

Well that makes sense. (Those sandwiches are awesome.) If I don't get some form of combo, I go for any combination of 5-piece, Jr. Bacon, baked potato or fries, a yogurt, and a drink if I don't already have one.

[tania]

if i don't make a post on this i know tommy will so let's just agree that my ass is biggest and stop arguing. anyone who has met me can probably attest to this.

[muteKi]

No, I have a gigantic ass. I am lazy and eat way too much, and rarely anything healthy.


Seriously, I just sit in front of a computer all day.


I am maybe willing to concede the title of largest ass, but I at least demand credit for most out-of-propotion with the rest of the body.

[sean]

Apperently my ass is square...

I so would have won that no-ass-off in the photothread if I had a camera then.

[tommydski]

It's like a goddamn planetary eclipse set in pale fuchsia.

Like anything else in the natural world that makes you take stock of the true infinite majesty of all creation it is absolutely awesome to behold.

[Patrick]

My ass is like a zeppelin.

Impressive to look at? Grey and kindof shiny? Painted with swastikas? A propaganda tool? Capable of transporting 100 or so passengers across the Atlantic in great luxury? Prone to destruction by discharge of static electricity? Incredible English rock bands name themselves after it?

I would name a band Katie's Ass. Shane, we have a band name.

[NarwhalSunshine]

Jackson Pollock can suck my cock

 

[calenlass]

Guys I didn't say I had the biggest ass, just that it was big and fat.


Tania definitely has the fattest ass.

[frullic]

Once, me and my cousin went to EB Games to buy some computer games. I actually came out with THREE BAGS FULL OF EXPENSIVE NEW RELEASES and I don't know how much I spent. All I remember was my bank card crying and a letter saying I had 2 dollars left in my account. Totaly worth it though!

[calenlass]

I really need a new picture with which to make fun of Tania.

[normz]

Normz, aren't you a makeup person or something? How the hell do you afford this stuff, unless someone else is paying for it?

yes i am a make-up artist/retail hussy/ law student so i should technically be poor and all but i always do get nice bonuses and I have to admit i don't buy that much clothing but i do save up for quality pieces. So things like a pair of classic suede boots i know are going to last me years and years so I don't mind spending a bit extra. I rarely buy clothing but when I do i spend more .... things like a silk hermes scarf will always be chic and i'd rather buy 1 scarf than throw the same amount of money away on lots of badly-made disposable fashion that will either fall apart or be out of style next season, to be honest i don't really see it as decadence .... to me its just common sense and its my taste

[tania]

i try to do that, but all my money goes towards rent and textbooks

(also: last week this guy was bitching at me so i just swung my ass at him and it KNOCKED HIM OUT COLD)

[Lunchbox]

I don't do that because I am a lady who gets dirty and rips things and forgets that she left her washing on the line three days ago.

[jhocking]

I don't do that because I am saving like crazy to put together the down payment for a home. yay being responsible

[pilsner]

I don't do it with scarves because I tend to leave things in the back seats of cabs a little too frequently.  Somewhere out there is a cabbie with 23 left black leather gloves with cash linings.  He's building a grotesque sculpture out of them and he's laughing maniacally.

[TheFuriousWombat]

Not that I can even come close to affording one but if I could I'd be buying one of these:



They're only $10,000!!

[redglasscurls]

I don't buy terribly expensive clothing because I get bored with my wardrobe too often. I don't feel bad about buying something new every few weeks if it's pretty AND inexpensive, but if I bought normz-level stuff it would be an entire paycheck per purchase and that is not ok.

[Liz]

I just paid $75  to have my camera repaired, does that count?

[frunK]

Oh yeah...and all of my yaoi-manga I keep buying. Cripes. I am horrible.

That's not splurging, that's a necessity.
Last insane thing I got was Metalocalypse on DVD I guess, it didn't kill me but I'm poor and I was eating alot of ramen that month.

[Patrick]

Not that I can even come close to affording one but if I could I'd be buying one of these:

(no needle vinyl player)

Oh shit DO WANT

My favourite pair of jeans that cost me $20? Yeah one of the belt loops ripped halfway off. HOWEVER. I am in a country notorious for finding ghetto-rigged solutions for shit, like sticking an entire horse in the back seat of a VW Golf (oh god I wish I'd had my camera). So I ain't worried.

[sean]

I bought a $180 camera the other day. But I used a gift card with it. TAKE THAT DECADENCY! Then I bought a $40 dollar memory card at another store, but used two gift cards to cover the entire cost. I am really bad at being decadent.

[öde]

I consider amatuer cameras to be either cheap old film SLRs or £2000 digital SLRs.

(I have a cheap old film SLR, it's a shame film isn't cheap though)

[Storm Rider]

Today I bought a Canon Powershot S5 IS to be like Lunchbox.

Together with all the accessories it came to $600.

Why bother? There isn't a camera on earth that can make looking at you anything more pleasant than amateur eye surgery.

[redglasscurls]

I managed to spend $75 on some jeans today... this is pretty decadent for me, but man do they do great things to the butt region. Jeans are one area that I've noticed spending more really does tend to get you a proportionally better product.

[morca007]

I just paid $75  to have my camera repaired, does that count?

Depends on how much the camera cost.

I am contemplating some decadency, but first I wish to run this watch by the QC forum:

Mechanical, $35 + $19 shipping from Russia. I am cheap, but I want a watch. This a problem, because good watches don't seem to exist for under $250, at least new.

[Ozymandias]

I...If you're not joking I demand you go find someone doing this and take pictures.

Shit man, did you forget a 1 in front of that price? If not, that's damn cheap and that watch is awesome. Buy it!

I did not, it is a watch manufactured in the USSR, old stock, there's bunches of cheap watches from there on the bay.

EDIT: Hmmm, a challenger appears-

Black citizen Eco-Drive, $90 at Amazon.

[Emaline]

Earlier in this thread people were talking about how much they spent on the clothes they were wearing at the time. I'm totally going to do that now.


Socks: Free(gift from old friend because I didn't have any)
Shoes: Free(mine had died, so my mom gave me an old pair of her's. She never wore them, and they were literally fresh out of the box when I got them)
Pants: $16 on sale Target
Shirt: $14 Target
Bra: $8
Jacket: $8

Total: $46

This is one of my good bras, too. And one of my favorite shirts.  And I thought the shirt was a bit expensive. Man, I'm cheap.

Recently, the only costly things I have bought are games, movies and music, and even then, I'm getting them for pretty cheap since I get them through work.

[ruyi]

today i spent 18.67 mealpoints on dorm food. usually i spend 14 or less.

[KibBen]

I spend too much money on food and drink. I like drink, but don't get drunk that often, but my problem is that I drink gooood stuff. Like, 15$ bottles of beer. And 40$ lunches, with only water to drink and no dessert.

However, I like my nice clothing. I often get it for super super cheap. This is usually because I often have lots of kind of spare time in which I could be, say writing, or drawing, but instead I go walking and walk into stores like Winners or awesome indie shops and get amazing things for amazing prices. Like the two pairs of jeans (70$ and 125$ regular price) and the two shirts (45$ and 26$) I got for 6.60$ total. (And a 50$ gift card, but that hardly counts). I've been known to spend lots of single items, though. :S

whoah slow down there Paris

I'll find something just as ridiculous some time within the next week if I just walk around town, I promise. And if and when I do, I will take pictures.

[ThePQ4]

Oh yeah...and all of my yaoi-manga I keep buying. Cripes. I am horrible.

That's not splurging, that's a necessity.

Haha, it kind of is when I'm running my own little Yaoi-Library. I've been lending out books and DVDs like crazy to my friends lately. I shall soon have corrupted them all with delicious Japanese boys and suggestive art!

Anyway, since this is the RIDICULOUS decadency thread, I want to take the opprotunity to...well, complain. My sister has just spent a ridiculous amount of money buying a lot of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer merchandise. I was OK when she bought the DVDs. Even the calandars. But she has now purchased the LIBRARY model and a set of two Anya's and a Zakafron (is that his name? whatever --her boss) and then a Darla figurine... She has also bought 2 watches (one for herself, the other for my younger sister), AND she continues to buy like 4 copies of each comic.... Argh! Talk about RIDICULOUS!
[/rant]

I guess I'm just being hypocritical though. If I had the cash and a lack of responsibility, I would buy crap like that too (except Harry Potter, not Buffy).

There's a picture of a pony inside of a Ferrari somewhere  on my computer.

$5

whoah slow down there Paris

For a few minutes I didn't understand what you were talking about. I sort of gathered that you were referring to the city and that things were somehow expensive there.

Then I remembered. And I got angry. Because for a brief while, I had managed to forget that Paris Hilton existed. What a sweet, sweet oblivion that was. Now you have taken that from me.

What you have wrought can never be undone, Joseph Hocking.

[McTaggart]

Khar, the difference between those watches is that the Rolex, fake or not, is unbelievably ugly.
