Not true... there are two kinds of condoms that fit in worst purchase:

1. Too small
2. The one that breaks

Hope you got the extended warranty with the replacement plan. hehe

I have to say my speakers have been acting up lately..... hehe.

I cannot believe i spent $3500 on a IBM ps1 10 mhz computer back in my 1st year of university. Reason why? so i could play Tetris and welltris and impress my geeky friends by logging into the U of C library from home.

A good thing out of that was my following purchase. a HP inkjet for $800. I had a lot of hot chicks coming over and printing out reports. It was out of bounds for my guy friends as ink was insanely expensive too.

I've never had one break. I must be the anomaly or something, but I think when used correctly they are over 99% reliable.

A sample size of two is not conclusive.

There were days in the summer when I was sitting around drinking with friends and I thought to myself:

"Last year, I'd be in my garage working like a slave on that car and totally broke right now, instead of chilling out and having fun. What a ridiculous hobby."

I'm sure I'll get back into it at some point, I might even have it up and running this summer, if I feel like it. I dont know yet.

I told myself this summer I wasnt going to put anything else into my money pit.. So far so good.. I just avoid buying the magazines and browsing the performance parts sites to avoid the temptation.

I think at this point my sample has to be at the point of statistical significance.

FlamesKickAss · 01-14-2009, 02:52 PM

I was suckered in to buying a 'free' alarm for my old car from quinn. Man do I want that 500 back

other than that I cant think right now of anything, right after I spent 600 for my xbox and games just before christmas 06, but now I know it is worth it.

You do know it only counts if you are not alone at the time right?

lol I think pretty much everyone has been suckered into that... myself included

BuzzardsWife · 01-14-2009, 04:08 PM

Men make me laugh! Us women have to buy Tampons, Lube, Condoms, MOnistat, Vagisil, lets see..the list goes on and on. But I do understand, because for some weird reason I always feel weird buying Tampons with a guy behind me in line.

BuzzardsWife · 01-14-2009, 04:10 PM

This makeup primer crap that cost me 45 dollars and it is pretty much baby oil in a bottle. Hey girls, don't buy Smashbox primer!!!

What're you running these days? The temptation is hard, I find in the summer its especially tough because you want to take the beast out for a little spin.
