Alright, alright....post that picture of you and the big boobed ex-girlfriend in her bikini to make up for the gayness in that post.

$5 DVDs...those are sooooo tempting every time! My wife and I like watching a lot of movies, so we "always" need new ones.

They get me too. Not just the boots, but turfs and indoors. I usually am pretty good about not buying them...but I look all the time.

I collect soccer scarves, so that would be what I always spend money on with soccer gear. I also buy a lot of country flags, I use them for camps and decorations for things.

I collect a few things: wrestling action figures (got about 1300), luchador masks (not a huge collection, maybe 10), costumes for the woman (probably 20 or so), mini-helmets (the whole USFL, 42 total), and pocket pro helmets (close to 200). I can't start new collections of any sort because I tend to buy all that I can find/want at the same time. And I do the same thing when the kids start on something - can't stand for them to not have a big collection immediately upon interest.

Probably food actually. And by that, I mean I have plenty of food at home I should eat, but I'll still stop and get something else (Hot Head is usually to blame, and pizza)

I'm more of a looker than a buyer. If I had the expendable cash, electronics is where the money would go...then golf equipment.

Funny this topic comes up just dropped 700 bucks last nigh in golf galaxy for a new titleist 910 D2 driver and 3 wood and some golf balls. I really have no need for this as I am happy with my current driver and 3 wood but once I get in that store it is very hard to leave without something in my hand.

This is one I used to have bigtime. That was back when I could afford such a "habit."

My brother gets soccer boots all the time. Of course he runs through them with as much as he plays but still. I would too if I had a bunch of money laying around because I like them a lot.

ZWICK 4 PREZ;808684 wrote:b/c, as I said, I have no real intentions of changing them. I play with 2 sets depending on the course or how my swing is at the time. But I'll pick up a set if I like the looks of them or heard good things about them and hit them at the range and if they surprise me, they make it to the bag.

I played with copper eye2's for years until I picked up a set of i3 blades and they replaced them. Same with my Wilsons. I played with fg 17's for a long time until the fg 59's replaced them.
I'll buy a different set and hit them a few times and sell them. You never know when you'll run across the next set you'll keep.
I get that. But my irons are something that I'm so familiar with that I won't replace them until they need to be replaced from disrepair. Same goes for my putter. I change woods far more often because I think that's an area that is really hard to be consistant in throughout a season let alone year to year or at least it is for me.

I finally got out on the course yesterday for the first time this year and shot a 4 over 40 with two double bogeys. One because of a three putt on the first hole and the other because I placed my drive directly behind a tree and then made a tactical error in trying to get around the tree and closer to the hole instead of just chipping out to the fairway. Other than that it was all pars, one birdie, and a bogey. I was kind of pissed that I had a stretch of 5 GIRS in a row with only one birdie though. /cool story.

Between the two, cigars are just my better area of knowledge, which is why I said it that way.

Also ties. My uncle is a judge, so naturally has to wear a tie everyday to work. He has a collection so that he can almost wear a different tie every day of the year. I want to be that cool someday!
