What've you splashed out on recently?

A digital projector. I laugh in the face of you puny mortals and your mere 60" screens.

My next purchases will be a new video card (and Half-Life 2 and Doom III and Far Cry) and the down payment on our Costa Rica trip this November.

Today’s splurge: a hunk of stinky-marinaded smoked goat from the Nigerian stall at the market. Very danger.

A book I have been looking for for thirty-four years. Yes, literally.

Seoi-nage, by AJ Sweeney and BC Goodger. Third and last in the “Leisure Learning Series: Famous Judo Throws”.

Next up - Osaekomi, by Kashiwazaki, the last of the Ippon Masterclass series that I don’t already own.

And with this post, I have just combined my three worst addictions in one - martial arts, books, and the Straight Dope.

Somebody stop me.

Regards,
Shodan

Ah, sorry – I meant a tandem bike. Like one with a child stoker kit. From folks I’ve talked to, it seems way more fun than a trail-a-bike. But of course, being a tandem fanatic, I’m a bit biased. :wink:

Well just today, I finnaly went online (after about a week of drooling over it) and bought myself a Babolat Pure Drive Tennis racquet and a Head Liquid metal 4 racquet for my sister.

I’ve just recently stated playing tennis again (after about a 6 year break) and now seriously getting into competition and so is my sister (at 14yrs, she’s the top rank girl AND women) so we’re ready to kick some ass with our new sticks!! :smiley:

2005 Subaru 2.5RS – the first new car I’ve ever bought. About $19K.

A #32 Ricky Craven decal for the back window. $3.50 + $1.00 S&H from Ebay. It hasn’t come yet.
