A true master thief would be someone who spends the first thirty years of their life never stealing anything, acting utterly in line with the law and conventionally morality. Building up the trust of their compatriots in a small community. Waiting. Waiting for that perfect moment.

I have a velvet painting of a fish hanging on my ceiling that's something like 6'x4', but that was only $5. I do also have a mostly intact metal stop sign (with post!) that I use as a coat rack in the basement. That was actually a birthday gift, I don't normally steal road signs. I can see the appeal, though. I made a chair out of old skis, but I can't think of something interesting to do with a stop sign.

I've sometimes thought I'd like to get some black-light posters, just for the inherent craziness.

As for spending large amounts of money, well I've been brought up firmly as a saver not a spender. The most expensive single purchase I made was my computer's parts for around $1200, even that was quite a saving since I didn't buy new monitor, mouse, keyboard or speakers. :P

Now, for us bookies, especially the language-oriented type, what you really need is the Oxford English Dictionary. But not just any Oxford English Dictionary. You need the six thousand dollar leather-bound deluxe Oxford English Dictionary.

When I win a fortune on a game show, I'll be blowing my money on this, as well as that house I've always wanted: tiny except for the sauna and the library.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Then you move on to stealing security cameras. Then, security guards. You steal them because of the noise they make when they spot you.

Nah, I'm just carefully keeping myself very clean and smelling rather of honey and oatmeal.

If for something I've spent a lot of money on, it would be my video games & books collection; and even that is pretty tame.  As for just collecting something not all that useful, I'm keeping the old tiny die-cast cars my brothers and I played with and have added a few more (newest is an Ed Carpenter IndyCar I purchased while at Indianapolis Motor Speedway earlier this year).  There's a not insignificant amount of those.

Most of my shirts are ¥2500 which is $300 or thereabouts. Gotta feel good and project an image, so it's an investment rather than decadence, I suppose.

Oh man, video game collections and small cars, i totally know that feel bro! I recall us (as in me and my older brother) having quite a bunch of small toy cars back in my early childhood, though it's possible that we have given them away now, can't really remember. Our video game collection, however, is greater than ever. Hell, there are even some games i haven't played yet. :P (and also some games that are older than i am, which i personally find pretty rad)

As for other things of decadence, i'm not even that much into flights of fancy, but to say that i haven't bought a few things because I JUST HAD TO would be a lie. Allow me to put it like this:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The prime example here is probably the mouse, which is SUPPOSEDLY the only kind of left-handed mouse made for gaming (Razer claims so, anyways), and it wasn't particularly cheap (but it IS very good). My old mouse was still entirely functional, and quite nice too, although it was getting hideously greasy and was also mostly right-handed (ambidextrous shape with extra buttons for the right hand). The owl? I bought it because it's awesome. It's just staring at me, all day every day, with its awesome owlface. The little viking dude? I bought him because he's awesome too, and also because he's an ellipsoid like the owl. Other than that, i also have a few powerful laser pointers (300 mW for the most powerful red one, but it has lost its lens that allowed me to focus the beam :c), which generally don't serve me any other purpose than being neat.
Oh yeah, i also bought a super cool art-glass paperweight in Scotland. Why? Because it looked cool as hell. B|

This thread is unacceptably lacking in decadence.  The first thing's decadent.  The yacht's decadent.  The sundae or whatever is decadent.  Everything else is just rich.

Come on guys, decadence isn't just about money, it's about conspicuous and wanton destruction of your own resources because you can.  It's about being proud of how terrible you are.

I'm not going to lie, I like Wrath Glass. Which I suppose is rather appropriate.
