I have become obsessed with "the candlepowers" and my girlfriend thinks there is something really wrong with me because i look at flashlights so much!!

But these forums are just so awesome!

Im hooked and just bought myself a Gotham which is in the post... I CANT WAIT FOR IT TO ARRIVE!!

Man i love this place, and the thing is that no matter how many of my friends think im crazy i know there are people who love this place just as much as me if not more!

Welcome to our "sickness"! :crackup:

Anyone can become obsessed with anything, but control is what it's about - but I don't have it, if you find it - PLEASE let me know where I can get some!! (Actually my wallet keeps me in line most times!)

Nothing wrong with enjoying technology, utility, security, preparedness...know what I'm saying?! :thumbsup:

Heh. I educated my friends and girlfriend to my electronic weirdness a long time ago. They barely flinched when I told them I spent €110 on a battery charger. :p

Welcome to the asylum! You don't have to be a lunatic. But if you are, it will make things easy!

merkaba, i just read the first sentence in your post to my girlfriend and asked her what she thought about me being on cpf so often.. she just let out a big laugh!

i love coming here not only for the lights but because cpf has some of the smartest/kindest people on earth and there is such a wealth of knowledge to learn from.

Ditto.
If it isn't already apparent from my posts all over the place :p, I find this place fascinating. There's just so much information to be learned about all sorts of things.

Would it be wrong for you to suggest that your girlfriend dresses up as a flashlight for Halloween? :crackup:

If you do something strange all by yourself, it's called crazy. If you do it with others, it's called a community.
There's something wrong with all of us (humans) you just have to hang out with people weirder than you are (like me and many others here) and you then look like the sane person.
It's flashaholic camouflage. Every time my wife thinks I'm going off the deep end, I just explain to her about the guys with the tow behind carbon-arc search lights.

Logical extrapolation. If you do it with others as crazy as you are or even more, it's called an asylum. :crackup:

Incidentally, this also applies to government.



Be lucky...

Postscript: A man who is mad is unfortunate.
A man who is mad and knows it, is on the way to recovery.
A man who is mad and knows it and likes it that way is a Flashaholic.
