If you could afford it, and if somehow it didn't cause any ethical problems for you, what would be your extravagance? Your completely unnecessary, just for you little pleasure that you just can not afford right now? Assume that your lifestyle would not change except for this addition.

For me, it would be fresh flowers all winter long, in every room. That, and new socks. I love new socks. I'd give them away after one wear, and have a new pair every single day of the year.

If I could only pick one of these? Okay, I'd go with flowers.

I'd love a box of La Gloria Cubana torpedos,churchills or double coronas.

Its so nice out here today,its time to smoke a cigar outside.

500 cases of the best scotch.

Or maybe an 89 story tower in Center City Philly. That'd be awesome.

A robot that is always on dirt patrol! And... and... a dishwasher!! :)

And a hot man-servant to rub my feet! ;)

Twice my body weight in Cadbury's chocolate. Actully, since money isn't an issue, a life time's supply of same.

If I could afford it, something like this (http://www.boatquest.com/Power/Ocean/Category/Length/17500/Feet/USD/1/boats.aspx).

Samson (http://www.wolfpitts.com/projects.html). I watched this airplane get built. I wants one.

An evening with Sandra Bernhardt.

I don't quite think it's about 'afford' in my case.

Beside that, though, A Pocky factory would be pretty cool.

Oh hell yes.

I'd really like somewhere in my house where I could grow "plants"...

<_<

>_>

i'd probably give one hell of a party. good dj's, free food and drinks, nice location etc etc etc. not really original, but it would be so so much fun.

A full time maid/gardener.

Cadbury's?! dear god man, of all the chocolate in the world, why the hell would you pick Cadbury's?

For that unique salmonella flavour. Obviously.

A new cute guy to suck off every day? :D

I hope they return the favour..

I grew up with Cadbury's, I'd shrivel and die without a regular dose.

I grew up with Hershey. You think I'd stick with it? Hell no.

And Cadbury.. yeah.. they.. uhm.. suck. *nods*

A Soviet T-62 tank. Yes I am one of the "What's Your Favourite Tank?" freaks.

I'd buy a sailboat stocked chock full of fine cigars, scotch, and the occasional joint, and just set off, sailing from port to port and stocking up with my unlimited funding whenever I needed to. I'd probably get drowned in a storm or raped by pirates, but it'd be a good life, all in all.

A Soviet T-62 tank. Yes I am one of the "What's Your Favourite Tank?" freaks.

If you're such a tank freak, why in the FSM's name would you choose a T-62???

An Indoor heated olympic sized pool full of chocolate pudding with maintenance staff. *nod*

That should be easy enough to arrange.

Blasphemy!

A massive, jupiter-sized particle accelerator. Just because.

Which scares me greatly, to be honest. Too much power in the hands of too many juvenile people...
(Nothing insinuated about you, of course).

A brand new computer every 6 months that I could just migrate all the contents of my previous computer to. Continuing on until the robots take over.

Are you as turned on as I am? :)
Seriously though, whereabouts in this huge province do you live?

A supercomputer capable of playing any new PC games from here on for many, many years. Since it's a supercomputer it could easily emulate Windows whatever so no problem there, yah?

By the way-my most recent extravagance-a sharpening strop for my razor.

Actually-its more of a necessity.

yeah-Chucky said she was a bitch and got what she deserved

oh, just a little house to call my own...

or maybe the luxury of retiring financially independant.

A Percheron.

Someday...I'll have some expedition up your way.

And you'll have your hands full.

I was kind of hoping they'd be gripped behind my back actually...

And it better not just be my hands that get filled.

*shivers* I hear they hurt more than a belt.

And razors scare me. Yum!

Hmm... at least you got the good part - I'm stuck down here in oil country, about 1.5 hours south of you.

I want to feel it for at least three days after.

South of me, huh? Hehehehe...but oil country's up North mostly now, you're in cow country.

I can only imagine-it does have brass hardware on the end.

Straight razors used to scare me til I tried shaving with one. Now-I love it. No more $10.00 for three disposable replacement blades.

I'd buy up the entire military of whatever country I'd be living in at the time, and then discolve it and send everybody home with full pay.

I can't stand these freaking twenty-bladed disposable razors pieces of crap.

Straight razors have class, if the person using it has enough manual dexterity to not sever something important.

*feels way out of place in this thread*

Just rough her up, real savage like. She says loves it.

Vast quantity of Dogfishhead 90 Minute IPA, Homemade Russian Impieral Stout and a good Czech Pilsner.

Don't feel bad, Carn and I go at it on a regular basis.

Thats how I feel.

You need a little confidence and no distractions. Its nice.

Just rough her up, real savage like. She says loves it.

Yeah, but you have to be able to do it just right.

Or maybe an 89 story tower in Center City Philly. That'd be awesome.

sweet :cool:

my extravagance would be a Porche or a nice penthouse suite.......or to never worry about money ever again

Luckily-I dont understand what you said you'd do to them. Is it naughty?

Oops... one "c" too much. Disolve ;)
As soon as they've handed in their uniforms and their hairs grown to a halfway snesible length, there will be much naughtiness indeed. :D

Woo-hoo!
Now that I think about it, Dean and CL seem to have a lot in common...

That should be easy enough to arrange.
Then do so.

It's been a slice folks...I'm off to ride the bumpy bus all the way home...

Woo-hoo!

Yes, yes they do :) :D

*Searches thread for chocolates*

It's been a slice folks...I'm off to ride the bumpy bus all the way home...

Hehe... have fun. There's one bump on the road between Ballycoolin and Finglas, that... well, I was sitting alone on the top deck and...

Anyway, have fun!

Books and chocolate. I already buy more than I can afford of both. I'm applying to Borders just so I can have unlimited access to books and therefore have more money for chocolate.

I thingk I would get a servant that was a driver, maid, cook/nutritionist, physical trainer, and sex partner for my wife and I. :D

Basically I'd soup up my laptop with the biggest hard drive it could possibly hold, with a rediculously fast processor and video card, and then I'd get all the $30 plus games I've wanted to get for a while but havent been able to justify spending the money.

(edit) also, I'd hire a professional dominatrix.

I do that whether I can afford it or not. :p

A word of advice though, if you were really to do that I'd recommend you had some good cooling equipment installed on your laptop. Their power means nothing if it causes them to overheat.

A Steinway piano (or perhaps a Kawai), though I'd have to have a rather extension testing session to decide which model I wanted.

An array of Blue Gene supercomputers and a 10 gigabit connection.

I'd also like to become a fully mechanical cyborg, but that's still a little while away even for the kind of money I could throw around in this scenario.

Borders is a great place to work! The part time discount is better, but when you've been full time for awhile, they give you a gift card. $20/month? I can't remember, but it rocks. And Advance Reader Copies... Sometimes I miss working in a bookstore.

Before I went to work there, I worked a temp job at a major student loan service company. I had a picture of Emperor Norton (to remind me not to take things so damn seriously) up in my cube. You'd think I had pornographic pics of the Pope, the way people reacted. My cube was at the end of a row, and they were actually walking down the row to gawp. I felt like some sort of counterculture radical. Then I went to Borders, and I was the store Republican (mostly a joke).

Oh, and back on topic... I'd want a nice little bungalow of my own. Nothing to big, just a two bedroom. And chocolate... Mmmmmmm... Cadbury milk tray... Rose's...

So you admit you're a bitch?

Since when is anyone not your bitch?

definitely a car. either a lancia hf integrale evo 2, or a tvr sagaris. and the socks idea is a great one. i love socks, i would have socks of every colour and many colours and they would all be comfortable and stripey.

Since when is anyone not your bitch?

When I'm their bitch. Duh.

When I'm their bitch. Duh.

Not possible.

Quit trying to get pictures.

I would buy god.

mmhmm.

I seem to be the only one who would want reasonable things.

Well, Carn's cigars aren't too crazy.

Nice dreams of yachts and tanks though...

Pretty much just give me all the books, a good chair, and a never ending cup of good coffee and I'll be happy.

Oh Kami-sama yes!

Sadly though my love is going to be rather painful. I came to Japan with a few books and left most of mine at home in storage. I'm now finding that I've manged to fill up three bookshelves (a feat in Japan, given how scarce English books are) and the cost of shipping them back home is gonna hurt.

Fascist. :(

Pervert.

Luckily the school board paid for it...because books constituted the bulk of our goods, and it didn't come cheap.

Fascist. :(

You're trying to get pictures? Well, please do share them if you recieve any :p

Oh, really?

A fully self-sufficient marijuana plantation (and fully-furnished manor house), with more than enough cash and goodwill to remain permanently on the good side of whatever local authorities might make their presence felt.

of course, I'ld be willing to pay for the Hawaii to where-evahs... but it's gonna cost ya! ;)
