What's your vice? Started by: Gero on Aug 30, '10 08:54

As someone who is newly into a small amount of money, I thought I really should start living the high life. But you see, I have a problem.


I've only just entered this life of sin, so my cash flow is a little bit limited. But as I've recently discovered... With the right amount of cash, the vices you can have access to are unlimited.


You see my problem? I only have enough money for one vice! But there are so many to choose from. So to help me decide, I thought I'd ask you, the public, to help me decide on which to plump for.


Gero steps down from his makeshift soapbox, and starts nailing a list to a nearby noticeboard.



1) Drinking


2) smoking


3) Gambling


4) Fine clothing


5) Fast cars



Now, for a short explanation on why I think each is great, in its own special way.


1) Now when I say drinking, in this sense, I don't mean getting drunk on whatever horse-piss they serve in the local boozer. I don't even mean getting drunk at all. I mean drinking the finest, oak barreled, old-enough-to-buy-its-own-drink alcohol. There's something so decadent about sitting in a comfy chair, sipping on the only known cask of a particularly fine 25 year old Isle of Skye Whiskey.


2) Much like drinking, I don't mean any old packet of Navy Cut. I mean Cuban cigars. I'm talking Humidor's! Now the good thing about this vice.. Smoke it in the right place and the smell will permeate for weeks! Smoke a cigar on Monday, you're still enjoying it come the weekend.


3) Maybe some will argue gambling shouldn't be here. Yes, for some people gambling can make money. But because of draws, because of green 0s and 00s, because of all those little quirks, the house WILL win. And most people will lose money. But the thrill you get when you're on a roll.. The bead of sweat dripping down your Texas hold 'em opponent's brow, being dealt that flush. All those things combine to allow Gambling up there with the big boys.


4) Fine clothing, a vice you say? Maybe it is stretching the definition a little, but as many people have gone to ruins due to Armani as drugs. They're addictive. And finding that perfect cut could cost you more money and time than that high. And not only that, it is a vice you can show to the world.


5) Need I say more? Driving double the speed limit down a straight empty road.. Does anything match that thrill? The downside of course being a much higher risk of a death in a ball of fire and torn metal.


 


If anyone can suggest a better vice for me to take on professionally, or wishes to vote for which is the best, now is the time!a

I prefer smoking.

I love the way my gun smokes .

It can be risky, especially in our line of work, but I enjoy certain kinds of drugs.  I think they're rewarding, on a personal level.  Not the hard stuff, though.  I'm not much for amphetamines, nor for super-powerful downers.

I'm more for the drugs that twist you.  It's always fascinating to me that you can spend an entire evening on your couch, and yet experience so much.

Stripper/Escorts, nothing better than getting the ol' Clap eh guys?

FAST CARS. FAST CARS. FAST CARS. Honestly I love all the options and indeed I spoil myself with all of the above…I have to say a sleek sexy car is far more BA than anything else. Besides a car will bring you the ladies...it’s a proven fact, so you get two for one and no down fall. I say that is a win. FAST CARS. FAST CARS. FAST CARS.

My vice would have to be a combination of three of the above mentioned choices as well as an extra one.  The three from above are easily smoking, drinking, and gambling for me. Usually, I like to do all three at a time (makes for a good night).  But after I commit all three of those vices, comes the deadliest of all...women. 

Can't escape that one...

When I make it big I'll spend most of my money on wine, women and song. The rest I'll waste

I agree with Foxy,

I'd plump for fast cars Gero, reason being you could step out of a fast card in hideous Y-fronts and still have the WOW! factor.

You have that with fine clothing too, but walking across the street in the best of clothes only to hop onto a mophead and speed away just doesn't have the same effect.

FAST CARS!

I opt for all of the above plus some. We don't tend to live too long in this lifestyle so you should live every day as though it were your last. You never know when it will be.

i would certainly agree with the captain i mean after all you only live once

Closes his eyes.. with visions of dice, cards, lights, drinks, women, and slot machines.. the sounds of the casino and the smells.. both good and bad

You know, ever since I can remember.. I have always wanted to... gamble!! Laughs a little bit... moving some blackjack chips in-between his fingers

Now you gotta have your priorities right, and make sure there food on the table.. but at the end of the day, after a few drinks.. nothing de-stresses me like the casino.. wait I hate the casino what am I saying.


But like said above, they all tie into each other in a way.. in an atmosphere where quick money is regular, so comes quick entertainment and cheap thrills.

I mean.. life is too short not to have fun sometimes

Pretending to like Drexler so I can get in to his family, and then slowly turning everyone against him, make his kids call me Daddy, wear his suits, use his personal toilet facilities and slowly but surely, water down his Scotch.

 

Of course, I am kidding.

While taking a stroll through the streets Marcus wonders up to an on going conversation about the finer things in life. Many lusts were thrown into the mix. Drinking, smoking and girls, were just a few things that he could remember at this point in time. Smoking was high on his list and as he thought about it he was already pulling a cigarette out of his coat pocket and lighting it up.

Now gentleman one habit, that opens me up to all these other habits is traveling. One can stay in this country or even on this side of country, but without traveling you'll never know the true want for the things you speak of.

Marcus takes a puff off of his smoke.

Add traveling to the top of your list and you'll be one happy man. The girls on the west coast are much different com paired to the east. The cigars that can be easily bought in New Orleans come directly from Cuba are nothing like the ones you'll find in Los Angeles deposited into the community from Mexico. Even the booze, you'll find some is smuggled in from Canada which makes Detroit a hot spot and some of it is made in the basements of locals in Chicago. If you think you are living the fine life among fine things, just wait till you start traveling the world.

I've heard stories about the girls from New Orleans. Hope they are all true!
