Chisoxfn Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I have a lot of Sox hats that I buy and rarely wear. I always go back to my fall back hats, old school Sox hat, my Bears hat, and my Barons hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a $250 SLam Man. I used to box, and thought it would get me back into shape, and take out some aggression as well. After about a week, I tore my rotator cuff, and never used it again. I put my dirty shirts on it until I can take them to the laundry. Looks kinda creepy at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Well, it wasn't my money and probably not that expensive, but a bowling ball. I went bowling for the 1st time when I was like 9 years old and I asked my parents for a bowling ball for my B-Day. Well, I go it.......and didn't bowl again until I was in my mid 20's.

LowerCaseRepublican Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I waste the most money when I go out barhopping. Pitchers, tips, music -- drains the wallet so damn fast. But it is good times so I dunno if it is a total waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Shoes. I probably have at least 30 pairs. And I probably only have 5 or 6 pairs in my regular rotation..... But I only buy them on Clearance less than $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend lives with 3 other girls and below their staircase they keep all their shoes. It must be a pad about 10 by 10 stacked 3 rows high. Never in my life have I seen so many damn shoes. I was in shock....could you imagine how high of a shoe building all the women in the world could build if they simply stacked all their shoes on top of one another. Ya, totally random thought, but it just goes great with my 1 pair of shoes (for a suit) my pair of dress shoes (to wear with jeans or slacks...non suit), my pair of sandals (rainbows rule), my pair of basketball shoes, and than my tennis shoes (for everyday wear). All this talk about shoes reminds me of that South Park metrosexual episode. God that was great how pissed off Mr. Garrison gets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an addiction, what can I say? I should have Zappos blocked from my internet. I order from them so much they upgrade my shipping to overnight for free.... As a result, though, if you ever need to know a good quality footwear company, I'm your girl to ask.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxin' Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I bought brand new catchers equipment last summer, a week later tore a muscle in my shoulder and have since re-torn it twice, haven't caught since then. Bought a new baseball bat late last summer, played in a wooden bat fall league and now I use my friends deuce this summer. I've bought a few movies that I have never watched, what a waste of money. Same thing with some video games, but I'd at least play the game a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hmmm that's actually a tough one, since I'm a pretty conserative person and really don't splurge on many things and I save my money. I bought some XBOX games a couple of months ago that I haven't had much time to play so yeah. But I'm definitely going to splurge on a Sox jersey while I'm over in the States........ if I can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Has a face and torso with lights for the eyes, mouth and in several spots on the chest. In the dark, it looks like a person. It stands about 6ft tall and is filed with about 200 lbs of sand. You hit is, it gives enough so you don't break anything, but it isn't falling over. There are 'programs' so when you turn it on, the lights light up and that is where you are supposed to hit the dummy. Some are a preset pattern, some are random. It's kinda fun, actually, but I can't do that motion with my right arm anymore. After about 4 or 5 punches, I can't move my shoulder.

Queen Prawn Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 While I am a chick, shoes don't do anythinf for me - but when it comes to shoes, the soles have to have detached from the shoe before I will throw them away. I bought a pair of gym shoes about 6 months ago but I still have the old pair that I replaced them with (I use them when I go to the junk yard with Brian). When it comes to spending money on stuff that just sits there it would be either candles or hamsters. I also have a habit of buying action figures. While I will display them, all they do is sit there and get dusty (Nosfaratu (sp?), Lon Chaney's Phantom of the Opera, etc). Just kidding on the hamsters lol.

Yeah -- but the bars here in Urbana...the people get all uppity whenever I play "Family Tradition" (some of them actually whine that any country or non-top 40 is getting played) And this is at the good bars where I usually go to enjoy a few beers and the pub experience instead of lame techno/trance dancing which has invaded too many bars here. So sometimes drinking seems to be a chore instead of a lot of fun because of idiots at the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
