I'd rather spend the extra few grand on a vacation or something. Or in the case of scotch, on two instead of one.

Bullshit. Your sweatpants are three sizes too small.

Doubt me? Go for a jog. First chick you wave to will slap you.

The latter are sweat pants. And they are Wrong. In addition to the outlining of the penis, when people work out in them, those grey ones show off all the asscrack sweat. "Hey, check my shlong out from the front... And my anal perspiration on the back side."

Seriously, I haven't seen anyone in the grey kind in years.

I agree with this. If I'm going to splurge, it's going to be on travel.

I do, however, often buy among the most expensive beers available.

2. My friends make fun of me because I wear one at Burning Man. My alarm clock next to my bed is 13 minutes ahead and has been for as long as I can remember. I have yet to wake up on time.

I am fairly certain I walk more than you, but if I don't, then you walk a whole hell of a lot. Well-made shoes (and these tend to be more expensive) do not give at the seams, do not have soles that wear out as quickly and quite simply, last longer. I do the same things in my cheap shoes that I do in my expensive ones and there is a significant difference. Just like there is a significant difference between an expensive tv and a cheap one or an expensive toaster and a cheap one. Cheap things are made cheaply.

mostly, but i represent the manufacturer of the class brand of something we all own. the company tries to keep secret that it owns three "crappy" brands that are actually pretty much the same as the name brand.

How many sexual positions do think there are?

It's a cheap luxury. What's a top-flight 25 year old scotch - maybe $20 a drink? $30?

That's not much for something extraordinary, even if it doesn't last that long.

Adder, take the money you save on shoes and enjoy a good scotch once a week. I'll bet your wife notices the difference.

Sure. But what makes the satisfaction you derive from a vacation or pouring doubles of Jim Beam qualitatively more valuable than the joy Wonk gets from jerking off over pictures of expensive watches? The point I am making here is a subtle, philosophical one.

Have you forgotten that he's from Minnesota? It's a cultural thing and I, for one, am insulted by your insensitivity.

wait until you're old enough to take your teeth out after oral argument- that's some relief right there.

Did we find out how to "like" a post?

And that would be, "How fast can I elicit a gag reflex in readers?"
