There's some morbidly awesome about owning a real human skull. I hope someone does something cool with my remains. Donating to science/need will have to suffice I guess.

This figurine: I never really buy collectibles like this, but this caught my eye. Tulip Candy posted:PYF Recent Purchases: Tulip Candy Buys More Sailor Moon Merchandise Speaking of 20 years, of Sailor Moon, I also put down a preorder for this because oh my god nostalgia. I watched this show every day after school in elementary school. No more figurines after this.

Ryu no Ikari posted:Where did you get the seat cover? We got it off Amazon. It's probably one of the pricier ones out there, but it's really well made. I also just noticed it just went down like $9 from when I ordered it. We put it in yesterday and so far it works pretty well. The last one really fell apart after a few washes.

There are endless ways to adorn a human skull. I'd wrap a doo rag on mine, and put a black and mild in his mouth. I got a few $3 books from the swap meet.

 iPhone 4S. Got it for free since my phone was waaay overdue for an upgrade, and I am still kind of shockedd. This is the first touchscreen phone I've ever owned as my previous model was an ancient Blackberry Curve. I'm not a phone or Mac snob by any means, and I still think of a phone as just a phone, but I am really kind of happy that I got something decent.

So last year I spent a part of my bonus money in a stupidly expensive mechanical pencil (Rotring 800). This year I stepped my game up a notch and spent a shameful amount on this beaut made from a horse's butt :  http://coronadoleather.com/i-13155096-shell-cordovan-wallet6.html I've had my current cheapo wallet for 20 years and it's now falling apart. I think it's safe to say that this new wallet will outlast me.

Takes some getting used to. - I'm not too sure how I feel about the ply shell either, but I'm not sure how long they'll be making it for and it's one of those "oddities" I had to have for my collection. - Unfortunately I haven't been able to wear the shoes on the trip I bought them for as I messed up trying to dig out an ingrown toenail on the day I left. - I used to enjoy the occasional hideous/tacky purchase, but the novelty would quickly wear off. I've found that discarding anything of poor quality and design has greatly increased my quality of life. Fewer things but better things. However, I still want a set of Atilla the Gnome stools from Kartell:  - That's a great chair.

 Both the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn, and also the most expensive. They are weird frankenfoot, herman munster looking shoes, but they are incredibly comfortable and fit my feet like a giant glove. New Balance 928's if anyone is wondering. I went shopping with my mom, and decided today was the day I gave up my $9.98 wal mart shoes with the 2 velcro straps and actually got some form of good shoe. Between having my feet scanned and the lady helping me choose these over some other horrible looking birth control shoes, it was a pretty good day.

If that's not a lateral move, I don't know what is. Do you need special orthopedic shoes or something? You can get much nicer shoes with plenty of comfort and don't look like a doctor prescribed them to you. It's especially odd considering New Balance makes awesome, comfortable, stylish sneakers. I don't want to rag on you, but you can do much better. Unless you're yanking my chain -- if that's the case, you got me!

Also not to rag on your new purchase, but... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk0roE34zLw I mean I guess they're not velcro anymore, but I want to see the "birth control" sneakers you chose those over. (full disclosure this is the only pair of sneakers I own so feel free to temper my advice with that)  I bought these today because I am goddamn tired of laces and socks and the constraints of The Man's society.

I don't really like sneakers that much, but they had hiking boots and casual hiking boots in stock (birth control shoes). They did have some other leather shoes but they were dock shoes or boating shoes, and I don't wanna wear those. Feels like my heel is constantly on the verge of popping out of em. At least these can be used as dress shoes in an emergency. All the sport shoes just felt weird on my feet. These have a narrow heel, but a wide area for the front of the foot, and since I have a high arch, it was going to be a choice between weird sneakers, birth control shoes, or these. Granted, they look boxy, but they are pretty damned comfy.

I live in the south and between the humidity and the rain, suede shoes do not last long as everyday wear. I'm happy with my boxy shoes. They fit, and my back doesn't hurt when I walk around all day. Can't ask much more from a shoe than that.

If you like your shoes then good on you, enjoy them, but as stated above please don't wear them as dress shoes. Out of pure curiosity what size shoe do you wear that clarks doesn't make your size? They go up to 13. No disrespect, I'm just curious. Edit: on topic I bought a foam roller  Cause sometimes my hip bothers me after I jog. Also sometimes my knee.

I wear a 12 wide (2E normally). Clarks apparently are medium or narrow width only. I said EMERGENCY dress shoes, i.e. if I had no other possible choice and needed something on my feet that didn't involve velcro straps or sandals. I do have some sense of decorum and taste.

It's definitely one of those things you just have to try on to see if it works for you or not. I have pretty wide feet and it's not a problem. Leather stretches out some as well so if it's a little tight at first it'd be fine later on. Clarks are usually sized down 1 full size too. If you live near a major city there will most likely be a store in the mall or something.

I've been wanting to buy Clark's desert boots for quite a while, but I'm sort of worried about the crepe sole. How long does that thing last? I always wear out the soles on running/skate shoes and since DB's are more expensive in Canada than they are in the states I'm hesitant to buy something that might die after 6 month of regular wear.

I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to helmets as well, but I'm pretty fond of mine: http://www.amazon.com/Giro-Transfer-Helmet-Charcoal-Universal/dp/B005I6PCOU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1368448854&sr=8-2&keywords=GIro+helmet I got the matte black/charcoal lines one from a local bike shop, but there seems to be other awesome color schemes as well. Hope that helps!

If your biking hat doesn't have a slick surface you will snap your neck when it contacts the ground. There's an olde study about it somewhere.
