    Why, oh God why couldnt I pick a cheap hobby

    Is there such thing as a cheap hobby? :confused:

    Many years ago, I started running as a hobby. Cheeeep right? All you need is runners and sweat pants. Wrooooong!! Once you get into running the 5-10 km's, all the sudden, it's $100-150 runners and they don't last more then a season or two!!

    Cycling!?!? Hah!!! A good bike isn't cheap and once you get addicted to the Shimano planned obsolesence path, you're out much $$$. :(

    The only reason hockey isn't costing me an arm and a leg is because I suck! There's very little hope of me ever getting better so I don't worry about buying new equipment.

    Perhaps, that's the secret? Choose a hobby where you suck at it?
    Nah... you should see my woodworking tools... :D

    To paraphrase Nike, maybe we should just enjoy it. ;)

    Golf???
    Let see... Clubs, shoes, gloves, balls, green fees, more clubs, beer, new "hot" putter, new "hot" driver, bags - one 2 carry & one 4 cart, lessons, more beer, trips to play new courses, clothes, more new clubs, new shoes, more balls, more beer...
    Nope, even more expensive...

    Wait a minute... :eek:... Maybe that's what ATC and the rest of us need. A list of even more expensive hobbies so we can feel better about our "audioholism"... :)

    Edit: New thread coming right up...
    More later,

Too many of those reviews (esp where products that are available at dept stores, Best Buy, etc, are concerned) have comments like "This rocks!" or "Sucks!", w/out giving any idea why they do/don't like the product. Circuit City reviews often have the same problem.

    Actual review found on circuitcity.com:

    not that good
    I prefered Jensen for the same sound perform with lower price 14.99. Or buy Pork with $15.00 more. I dont like the front grill.

    Mmmm... sounds tasty! food-smiley-002.gif

    This was not edited in any way by me. You are seeing the exact wording and spelling that the guy typed in.
