What is the worst thing that could happen...

To a flashaholic?
post your ideas.

I have an idea for mine and it's a doozy.

Blindness, paralysis, stroke, loss of family and will to live, imprisonment. I hope your vision of worst case scenario is more humorous than mine.

thermites that eat aluminium or lithium batteries /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

Getting evicted...actually, losing eyesight would be very, very, VERY bad for a flashaholic.

Arc going out of business is pretty close to the top of the list /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

On an individual basis, Blindness would well and truly hoover!!!

For me, last night at a poker game, having the 3rd best hand SEVERAL times!!! (and not betting high enough when I HAD the best hand!).

Had a good time anyhow!

Mag deciding they own the patent on portable illumination and unleashing their lawyers onto vulnerable flashlike and candle manufactures until the only lights you can buy are Mags?

Being stuck in a giant blackout with all of our precious lights in a drawer at home?

Getting accidentally trapped in a time warp and going back in time prior to the invention of fire.

Forgeting your EDC? hardly
Having mag sue other companies? close
Having an EMP so large that it shuts off all batteries/electronics. Well that and going blind.

Winding up in an alternate universe where God never said "Let there be light"?

Blindness isnt that bad. I know. At least it would give you an excuse to carry one with you all the time and use it to see indoors.

another guy using a huge and cheap incan spotlight that floors even your precious M6 can ruin your day / night /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

(I'm pleasantly surprised we all didn't receive a week's vaca with some of the recent "happenings!")

I have the winning one.

Being in the process of selling an X3T to another person, when trying to extract it, . . . it gets ruined. THAT, . . .my friends, . . .is one of the worst things that can happen. I still get sick over it to this very day. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

have all my collected flashlights stolen. Then having a power outage. or
Bumping into a DragonSlayer and not having my MaxaBeam./ubbthreads/images/graemlins/knight.gif

on another note, blindness, hearing loss, incontance, thouse for the most part can be delt with and besides, one can still play with flashlights!

1). Your wife has this really big garage sale while you're out of town and...



2). for 25 cents...



3). per boxload of...



4). all of your...



5). and all the mods you made...



6). that you'd already been paid for...



7). and also the stuff the UPS guy dropped off for you that she signed for...



8). that was paid for on a credit card...



9). that was for someone else...



10). who had prepaid...



11). and is a member of a biker gang...



12). and is your son in law, and, not that it matters but, ...



13). you don't have any daughters...



14). but you were gonna give those lights to the grandchildren you hoped to have someday, anyway...



15). and then the Smithsonian calls about the new Hall of Lights they wanted to have you build.

1) You get the latest, greatest high-powered flashlight
which requires special batteries.

2) They stop making those batteries.
