Only a God could spend this much in a week. Suffering from ads?

An ode to materialism

In the past 9 days, I have spent $850 on a new digital camera, $800 dollars on a new field speaker stereo system, and 100$ on cocaine. Can anyone top that?

Frivelous expenses, only

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I wrote a check for $23,000 to buy my wife a new SUV.

I also wrote a check for $34,000 to put a down payment on our first house. It was pretty sweet - we sold it 18 months later at a $25,000 profit, meaning we got a check for about $57,000 (less closing costs) at closing.

Oddly enough, I never felt that I was "rich" enough to afford either cocaine or credit cards. So I don't have either - well, I have a corporate AMEX card to be used on trips, etc. It's pretty nice when I have to buy something for the office and have better things to do than wait for permission from accounting.

The speakers are universal field high/mid range towers, which blast sound in an equal, circular pattern - it doesn't matter which way you face them. I won't get into how low end the sub can get... and way to effing loud. On top of which, the master deck lights up like a christmas tree, with automated glass panels and all sorts of pressable buttons!! And it says good bye to you whenever you shut it off!! It will be a perfect replacement for one of my friends

Now what I want you to do is open up the stereo, sprinkle the cocaine inside it, then take a picture of it with the camera.

Can you do that for me?

(Apparently) The largest on-line purchase was for a private jet ~ $5 million.

I would love a credit card with that kind of limit.

Boring, boring, boring expenses. I'm not talking about long term necessities ("I bought a house, I bought a soccer mom car, I payed the gas bill, nya nya nya")

I'm talking about down and dirty impulse buying. Pulling the credit card out with its pants down and giving it a five-alarm spanking. Sticking it to your control freak wives, not unlike a chained dog taking a nice smooth shlt on its masters car.

Monolith - I shant get into the possibilities you afford me with your jests and japes, for one of my stature has hithero not seen such chance of spoiled decor and gallantry. Perhaps you should end with this tiresome and trite leaning of thought-not coupled with too long an eynen to describe in parallel! I haven't the need for such a reoccurence as the one which looms now; the cabinets are bare of zyprexa

You haven't judged my aura until I pull the plank from your devious sockets!! It will be nothing like that stagnant court ball at the Louvre, for you have NO platform shoes to dress up in - and it's not even 70's retro night If anything, your power in the vain of chicanery is rendered useless with the departure of Mademoiselle Cleves - I think Bugs took her to mine own outhouse for a quick ****?!!? HOW DARE YOU! MING, I DEMAND A RE-COUNT OF MONSIEUR PREGNANT CHAD!

Monolith must be held accountable for his most unbecoming and non Christian ways

I once bought a $350 radar detector, $150 car amplifier, $50 wiring, and a small amount on food, alcohol, and marijuana in one day. It was the day after I graduated. It was some of the best money I've ever spent, ESPECIALLY the radar detector as it's saved me far more money than its pricetag.
