Post a Picture of Your Silly Purchase of the Month.

Lando is the exception to the rule. NO CAPES!

I don’t think Darth Vader would look as menacing without his cape.

Or are we considering cloaks as “not capes?”

Oh, Vader is definitely rocking a cape!

I can absolutely confirm this. As a kid, after my Vader action figure lost its cape it was useless to me. He looked way too silly without it.

I think a Vader without his cape AND without a helmet would be pretty terrifying. The helmet doesn't really work without the cape.

The helmet protects your head when the cape gets you sucked into an engine.

So this is admittedly silly, but it was so cheap and I have such fond memories of it:

Whereas this is far less silly. I leave my PC on 24/7, so one morning I woke up to the power having blinked out and one of the fans on my GPU running like a jet engine as a result. Hopefully this will prevent such a thing from happening again.

You know they made a remake of Cities of Gold. Also I have that same ups and like it.

Actually a little desktop model that I removed the base from and stuck a paperclip in the top to hang from the tree. Oh I mean the borg cube. The other two are old ornaments.

My wife got me the Hallmark Star Destoyer ornament this year. I need to pick up the power cord today, and now I really want to get the whole set. Which would be a really silly purchase. Less silly if I rigged up a display of them to have year round. But still silly and really expensive.

This mouse pad that's larger than my desk. I should have measured. I may cut it down to size but then I'll have two large mouse pads.

I have that same mouse mat. And that same level of surprise when I saw how large it was.

I cut it in half and used the other half to make a set of curtains.

I don't understand how that's a thing. What's the utility? Are there people having issues with sliding keyboards?

Why limit yourself to one square when you can have the whole desk!

<=uses a trackball

You guys really need to turn your mouse sensitivity up.

Also work as good board gaming mats.

People use mousepads?

I'd get splinters if I didn't have a mousepad.

It's a surprisingly not-horrible movie.

I have a larger mousepad that fits my keyboard and mouse. It has a design on it (Overwatch - Mercy) that I like. It is also more comfortable on my wrist and forearms because of the padding. It's not as big as the one above but I like it (though it needs to be cleaned). It's certainly not needed but I like it.

Finally saw a $100 off deal on the Mace Windu light saber so was able to add it to the collection!

Very nice.

Technically I added it to my wishlist for Christmas so it wasn't a "purchase" per se, but...

The only pizza places that deliver to our house are Domino's, Papa John's, and a NY style place that's not that great. I'll usually drive down to the one that's a little over 20 minutes away instead that we LOVE, but the pizza gets a little cool by the time I get home. Then I realized, surely they sell those pizza bags delivery folks use, why don't I just _get_ one and leave it in the car?

Silly, and perfect. Can't wait to use it.

That's the most inside the box thinking I've seen all year.
