The most interesting thing you have bought recently, and why

[The Funslinger]

Simple, open ended question.

For me, it would be a handmade military issue kukri. I bought it from the same company that supplies the British Army, as well as bushcraft enthusiasts, etc, it's very good quality. As for why, of all the blades in culture, this is by far my favorite. I have an interest in war, and collect a few things and I just can't get over how badass they look. If I had to think of a practical reason, I would say I would certainly like to travel in a few years, to places like Africa, etc. Might as well have my own machete.

Also, I just realized, I dreamed posting something like this before I had decided to by the kukri, or even started using this site. Weird.

I've got a kukri too, not military grade though. Thinking about getting a better one. The one I got doesn't like holding its edge too well for some reason. My cardboard target dulled it, though it is a lot of layers and pretty rigid. My katana couldn't cut very far into it and most of my other weapons couldn't even cut it. Oddly though my gladius of all things had the deepest cut.

For me my most recent interesting purchase would be my car. I managed to find a 1987 Porsche 944S 5-speed for $3,000. It is literally exactly what I wanted (didn't want a turbo, more wear on the engine). Quite a lot different than my two previous cars, which I hesitate to call cars due to their massive size. More like land yachts, I'd say.

Spoiler: What it looks like

If you like, I'll PM you a link to the one I bought. As I said, it's the same company that supplies the British Gurkha Regiment.

Say what you like but its never about getting your sack caught in the crack of your cup...

I nearly bought a metal one but its about 3 times the price and weighs a tonne.

What...what have you been doing?

I guess L.A. Noire would fit this. My brother also bought Backyard Baseball: Backyard Sluggers with my Gamestop store credit. It's interesting on how badly they fucked up the series I grew up with.

 

[TheEndlessSleep]

An ocarina, so that I can make beautiful music

 

[brunothepig]

I'm a Uni student, I can't afford cool stuff... About half an hour ago I bought Civilization IV, plus all DLC. It's 75% off (7.50 USD) right now guys, Steam's daily deal.

A candy dildo. Found it on the shelf at my local grocery store.

Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it? It's not the sort of thing I've ever priced up. PM me if you don't want to say in public.

 

[Logic 0]

An Xbox with every NES, SNES, arcade and fighting game made for that era,

I can have a nostalgia trip any time I want.

 

[Kakashi on crack]

Just bought an M14x, its getting in either friday or tuesday :3

 

[senobit]

A Yamaha YZF 600 Thundercat, a cool thing bought for a boring reason - needed more practical bike to get to work.

 

[Twilight.falls]

I don't buy things often. So I'd say my special Pokemon White Version Nintendo DSi.

 

[Quaxar]

Actually, not much lately.

A few Green Lantern comics (post Sinestro War), the Star Wars Death Troopers novel and the Ghostbusters 1/2 DVD.
Oh yeah, and a new bandage scissor for my emergency case as my current one is a really shitty product.

 

[GrimSheeper]

Terraria for 10 bucks...why? I don't even know. I don't buy stuff anymore, need to save up money...anyone want to donate to my cause? It's not a good cause or a particularily interesting one, but there might be cookies at the end. Just saying...

 

[Pig Mazurka]

Well, I just bought Oblivion... that should explain itself.
