Ain't that creepy! Have you been spying on me? Only thing you left out was her saying "ANOTHER FLASHLIGHT?"
It's not my fault.... They tricked me into it. I need to find a local chapter of flashaholics anonymous.
My name is Larry and I have a problem. I am a flashaholic and I need help but first I want to show you my new triple XM-L DRY it is so cool! Er... Ah... My name is Larry and I have a problem.
Maybe I can stay on the wagon at least till the next group buy.
OK. I going to help you guys and especially you young guys out. Here is how it works. You have to get to the point where you have enough lights that she doesn't recognize any single light and starts referring to your lights as "ALL HIS LIGHTS." This is very important. When she sees your lights as a collection, she will not recognize any particular light and will not know when you sneek, or I mean bring a new light home. Make a note. You will have to learn to get to the Post office to pick up your packages before she does or have them sent to a trusted friend of something.
This is a true story as it happened to me 10 years ago when I was into collecting guns like I now collect flashlights. My ex wife (at the time my wife) walked into the room and found me admiring a new Ruger 44 Mag. Blackhawk revolver. She hadn't taken the time to notice the dirt and mud that I had smeared on the grip to make it look like it wasn't new. She said, "Is that a new gun?" I had to think of something fast. I took into account that she was well past the point of recognizing any single gun that I had. I said, "I've had my old 45 for years." Notice that I didn't even have to lie. I had indeed had my old 45 for years. It's not my fault she didn't know the difference between a new Ruger 44 Mag. Blackhawk revolver with a little dirt and mud smeared on the grip and a 45 ACP. I preceded to wipe the dirt and mud off of the gun and I said, "There, this old gal cleans up real good. She almost looks like she is brand new. My wife went over and started dusting the gun case with it's 3 empty slots that didn't have a gun in them not realizing that I had an expandable gun case and I always made sure I kept 3 empty gun slots right there in the front where she could see them. I remember her muttering, "I must be getting old. Seems like it takes me 5 times as long to dust this old gun case than it did when I was younger."
See guys. Isn't that better than fighting? It would be different if we didn't need all these flashlight because we do need them. It's a man thing.
Oh
you are SO BAD, such a bad boy. You’re the guy I wasn’t allowed to hang out with when I was a Kid!
Great Post!!
Ingenious, Chidwack. I bow to the master.
Don't get me started.
Just marry your local mail carrier, or customs officer and it will be a long-lasting relationship. (I hope that your preferred gender is available ;-) )
ROTFL! :D
No way. My woman is full of understanding. I keep the real budget well above the flashlight budget. But this is simply too much.
Joanne, welcome to the forum! Now admit it, which one of you guys registered as a new female member and made up this every flashlight addict's dream?!??
;)
Now, this is called experience. Something you cannot do while you are young, only after years of real-world practice. :)
+1!
That's great stuff, Chidwack!
Joanne is either Mrs. Foy ...[note the location ]
or possibly a Vegas showgirl who's been captivated by the glamour of the Big City...Bright Lights ..

When I saw the Las Vegas location, I wondered how long it would take . . . as it happens, my wife's name does start with a J and she does live in Vegas (with Foy) but alas, the lovely and flashlight tolerant Joanne is not Foy's significant other.
Hmmm . . . maybe she opened an account here without telling me . . . not sure how I would feel having my wife as a member . . . I guess it wouldn't be so bad. If we both got into flashlights, we'd be bankrupt in less than a month.
