    $.50 extra on a lighter with a cool picture on it?

    Will you pay mild amounts extra for things you wont get any kinda real benefit out of?

    Or you a bargain type?

    Well I'm not talking a nice car vs a junker per se.

    I'm talking about tiny bells on stuff.

    A lighter? No.

    But that's because I know that the "fancy" lighters are usually worse than the regular Bics.

    You may be talking about those bics with designs on them, but those are worth the extra .50 because of their perfect size. They're not too small, and not too big. Perfect!

    Anyhow... can't go wrong with a Bic...

    (fuck Zippos, while we're at it. I can't light anything with them... makes it all taste like lighter fluid.)

    i would and have spent 50 cents on a pretty lighter. because ALL my neighbors smoke, and it's nice to know which one is mine. color coding just doesn't work right now.

    I like my nudie girl lighters. I buy them indiscriminately. Price is never an option for little boobies on things.

    Yeah I've bought lighters that have a pic on it or have some other such novelty value.
    Pay more but they don't last long.

    Haha, Hilder, we pull all the child safety tabs out of ours, too. Every time we have a lighter, it always manages to disappear. Fucking shit. Like I'm these people's convenience store or something.

    Welcome to the world of stoners.

    Lighters are actually a big deal around my friends... we make a fuss if a lot of people have the same colour and such. Bics really do seem to go through seasons... at a certain point everyone will have a black one, another a yellow one, and so on.

    ...and you never end up with the same lighter after drinking. Hell, you're lucky if you end up with a lighter at all.

    Yet once in a while you end up with 5 while only starting out with 1... and you know that's a sign that Jesus loves ya.

    Won't. In fact it was a lighter very similar to that that led me to start ridding myself of my asshair. Best damned choice I ever made.

    hah actually i have a lot of parties at my place and i usually end up with a lot more than i started with. or else they are all gone. i hate lighters with that plastic design shit because i use mine to pry the cap off my beer and it always tears. i have a lighter with a laser pointer on it and it fucking rocked. other than that... fuck the designs, nothing beats a purple bic.
