Expensive things that are “worth it”

Yeah, when I read all about him wearing wool underwear, I immediately came down with a bad case of jock itch from just thinking about it. Haven't had jock itch since 1981 until an hour ago.
It's 4". And I won't be back in California until Friday or Saturday, so you can see the other baseboards I have to obsess over. So wait a minute: two different baseboards? Guess that means two properties in Orange County, huh, Middle-Class Murox?
With baseboards, it is not so much the size or even the wood. Much more about the installation. Higher end homes usually have a crew dedicated to just trim. I have observed some of those guys and the ones I saw were good. Mittering and installing trim is not something to leave to an apprentice.

But not even in the top 10 in terms of cost, which was your claim, Big Dummy.
Really? Show us how much you paid for your house, Middle-Class Murox.
Here you go, geezer.

This is what is dumbfounding: everything you do is gaudy. Your bathroom? Ugly and gaudy. Your rental properties with backsplashes to the ceiling? Gaudy and ugly. Your whale tale? Gaudy and ugly (not to mention the bright red that screams "hey, Huntington Fvcking West Virginia, look at me and give me attention!"). Your clothes? Ugly and gaudy.
But then we get to your house, and it looks like the insurance salesman owner couldn't afford to finish it. It is so fvcking bland. Why no shutters? It looks half-finished and deserted. You ever trim your pubes bare and it exposes your chancres from the STD scars from the 19 year old Hooters waitress that you were falling in love with? Yeah, that's what your house looks like.
Put some fvcking shutters up. Put some color somewhere. Classic brick is fine, but with white trim everywhere and nothing else? It's the complete opposite of the rest of your horrendous usual gaudy taste.
And what is with the cheap, thin, plastic blinders in your house? Get some custom wood blinders, Middle Class Murox. Maybe that will help your bland house look a little bit more finished.
We can start on the need to power wash your stairs and why your landscaping is atrocious due to using a hodgepodge mix of different types of foliage with no consistency later.
This is better than I even imagined it wold have been. 😂
Whale tail? That is a “GTIII” like your alleged rich partner just bought. The wing is functional for downforce on the track, you dork. You literally just told us you went to the Porsche experience center in Atlanta and they brought you a GT3RS personally. Did they laugh you out of the room when you referred to it as a “whale tail”?
Shutters on brick? No thanks dork. The quoins and brick design around the windows are much cleaner and tasteful.
Your try hard status is 10/10. How sad.
It looks barren. The cheap, thin plastic blinds look almost as bad. It’s ok. Nobody expects anything spectacular with a house you bought for $300k.
I discussed how there could be 100 different opinions. I hope the next 99 are as entertaining and insightful.
Nice! I like the PTS colors. I’m probably going to keep this one forever since I was able to spec it just how I wanted it, with a classic color. I really have an itch for a 993 C2S or C4S. There was a guards red C4S that I wanted to bid on last week but I think by next summer prices will be off another 30% or more.
Murox, I was taking another look at your front lawn and it reminded me of a house I visited outside Pittsburgh. I visited a couple that were friends at Marshall.
The husband was high up in the DuPont Company and had one of the most beautifully landscaped yards that I had ever seen.
I was wandering around his yard when he walked out of the house to tell me dinner was about ready. I replied that I wasn’t coming inside until I found a weed in the lawn. I was joking of course and good thing. If I were really looking for a weed before I went in to eat, I would have starved. There were none.

I like coming here to read the comments because they always bring back some memory.
I was at a social event years ago and was dressed in a rather conservative manner. I had on a charcoal colored jacket, light gray shirt, and a red patterned tie. Looked good to me.
The daughter of one of the guests walked up to me ( she couldn’t have been more than seven or eight), turned her head to the side and said, “You dress funny.”
I had to bite my tongue to keep from spitting out my drink.
The little girl had purple hair with multiple colored ribbons. Her jumper was bright red with yellow leggings. She also had a pair of those shoes that light up when you walk. I guess to her I did look funny.
That is what I was saying about design. To each his own.
top 3 shitholes, maybe. place is a pain in the ass. had some guy tell me before i built it that only a fool would build a log house; about half pissed me off. he was correct.
i've been trying to do a project a year to keep it up. 4 years ago was a complete strip and restain, 3 years ago was a new fence around the property, 2 years ago replaced all the deck boards, last year put another coat of stain on and started new 38x48 garage with apartment above off to side of house (did the concrete slab and blocked the upper wall, decided to wait on building materials to go down before building), this year started remodeling basement (good winter project) and started some landscaping (building a 100' long retaining wall this year that's still in process) and continued to wait for building materials to go down, next year the garage will go up and likely replace around 120' of log rails around the deck and stairs (lean against them at your own risk).
when i get the garage and landscaping all done in a year or two, i'll post pictures for you city folk to drool over . . . which will likely make me puke.
you guys and yore exotic cars. they're cool, but i'm a poor, so i'm stuck driving american muscle. put one that looks just like the one below in the garage a couple weeks ago. ss with track package, a hillbilly's dream. i love red on a sports car but the fireside blue of this one grabbed my attention. first blue vehicle i've owned.
it's just the 455 hp version. the 650 hp version has to have stupid power as the power this one has is crazy. i'm not sure the ole IROC wouldn't give it a run, though. my son and i are planning a drag race to see which is king. i've gotta give this one the nod at this point, though, as it's about 25 more horse and newer technology (launch control) than the old one.
I built the house, dork, didn’t buy it. The blinds are painted white wood.
Batting .000 today.
Thinner than Herdman's crank. Yet more atrocious taste.
Show me all of those nice houses with thin blinds.
Why do you know what herdman’s crank tastes like?
I previously called them "blinds." Blinders also works:
Blinders and blinds are semantically related. In some cases you can use "Blinders" instead a noun "Blinds".

This forum is getting gay. Talking about kitches and crap. Sound like a bunch of interior decorators. Damn it.
When we used to talk about kitchens it was about women getting in the kitchen and baking a cake or fixing a sandwich.
Remember those crazy women? I told that one she needed to buy a cookbook? Those were the days. rifle and I ran them off. Now we are getting feminized.
Now, turning gay. Who gives a damn about blinds and splashboards? Just let the women handle that shit.

I had to find something that worked. When I took that picture with @riflearm2 , I realized that I wasn't very photogenic (I still am not). Since my wife takes a million pictures, I had to find a go-to.
If I took the picture with @murox in 2011, I would have probably discovered my go-to that day but I stood with rifle instead because I'm a moron.
I basically had Bernard Gilkey sign my baseball when Barry Bonds was sitting right there.
You have to remember that birthinghips’ hourglass figure and effeminate voice are both caused by too much estrogen in his body. It’s why he shops so much at discount stores and posts pics of his consumer goods.
Everyone on the baseball team when he played thought he was gay. He kept fresh flowers in his apt.
At least four of their future wives swallowed my Heisman winners, and they all were aware of that, so though they may have had some dislike towards me due to that, they definitely didn't think I was gay. And they don't elect you captain twice if they dislike you that much.
That's true. I still keep fresh flowers. I wonder if this person you asked about me is one that told me it was "beyond weird" that you would always randomly mention me and ask about me. I can't imagine going around asking people about you . . . especially as often as you did to the point that people mentioned it to me.
Yeah, the picture with his balls on your chin in 2011 would have definitely been a good look and a future predictor.
Well done! That's an incredibly accurate analogy: Barry Bonds is known as a notorious cheater, and Middle Class Murox had to sign a post-nuptial agreement after falling in love and cheating with a 19 year old Hooters waitress among others.
I'm not as cultured as some on here are, or at least pretend to be, but I have never heard the term "blinders" used in reference to windows.🤷♀️I previously called them "blinds." Blinders also works:

Settle down saddlebags, I don’t go around talking to people about you. You used to comment on my Facebook posts, and I have other friends who were your teammates. They would say things like “how do you know Ryan? He is the weirdest person I’ve ever known…” Then they would tell me how they all thought you were gay.
Why lie? You're Facebook friends with one former baseball teammate. Coincidentally, his wife also tasted my Heismans. And we both know he didn't say that or else you'd be able to post a screenshot of that within minutes (more than that allows you to doctor it just like you did when you cheated the money you were supposed to donate in the bet on here years ago).
Building kitchens isn’t gay. Using kitchens to make those fat gingerbread men with crooked smiles might be on the edge. 😁
That certainly explains the 2002 squad's stellar 17-35 record. Good hitting team though, with the worse batting average amongst the starting lineup being .280.
Amazing that Rifle and Rox can fight page after page. Reminds me of those “Family Guy” episodes where Peter gets in a fight with that chicken.
I travel quite a bit and have invested in a lot of merino wool so I can travel light. I have t-shirts, chinos, socks, underwear, etc... It's all great. Not itchy at all. It's not like the wool you're thinking of.
I'm trying to instigate where I can.
It's the next best thing to Walden coming back. His rants would bring perfect balance to this back-and-forth.
The talk of men keeping fresh flowers while critiquing one another's hips and lips should really get a nice diatribe from him.
Being gay explains his politics. Overcompensating by claiming he bangs tons of hot chicks with no evidence also suggests gay. Having female friends suggests gay. 30 year high school reunion around the corner and having never been married suggests gay.
I didn't sleep with them. I just allowed them to blow me. It was a handful of weak moments after turning many more of them down. I'm not proud of it, though the time I had to hide one of them in my closet while her boyfriend was knocking on my bedroom door is a good story . . . almost as good as the one about the girl who I had to help push outside of my bedroom window after my girlfriend was knocking on the bedroom door.
Trying to say there is no evidence of my legendary playboy status completely destroys any little credibility that you had left.
Your balls were jammed in the top drawer of the attorney who drafted your post-nup. They haven't left that drawer since. Are you even allowed to watch porn anymore?
I'm actually wondering if he's getting his fancy clothes from pulling a 'Sam Brinton' and stealing other people's luggage at the airport luggage belt.
Legendary playboy status? 😂
You are known for posting girls IG pics and claiming you f’cked them and abruptly stopping once you were caught.
It would be very easy to post candid, tasteful pics of you and hot chicks but you don’t do that because they are like your properties: non-existent.
What is better: hitting .280 with 20 HRs or hitting .281 with 1 HR?
You should try using what the baseball experts use now: OPS or OPS+.
Lies. I don't claim that. Most of them just service me. And I have pictures with all of them except for, I believe the newscaster, backstage with artists, at my place, etc.
Yeah, like I have never done that before, huh, Murox the Moron?
