Abandon hope all ye who enter this forum...

To answer Niloligist:

I like #5 best ::rick barclay, world-famous photogapher, at your service::

#1 True...true

#2 Always been; guess I alway will be. But what the hell, you only live once.

#3 I'm actually always thinking about my next shot. I have several in mind,
and I'm hoping the Mark II will make them all the more worthwhile.

#4 My weight has always been a fetish with me. I'm six foot, 200 pounds,
and the way Americans can live with their obeisity is truly sad. I was
talking last night to one of my fat coworkers, who gave me an impromptu
seminar on how great the burgers are at Burger King.
Anyways, I've always battled with my appetite. Going hungry sucks,
I'm always hungry and I guess things will remain the same.

#6. I'm always thinking of my next purchase online. I need a flash, a 550EX, of course.

And not least #7 Thanks. I'm always open to that. Hope we can remain friends for a long, long time.

Yep, it's anonymous... we promise not to tell spouses what you are getting ready to buy.



And don't let these other guys fool you. It does too end! You just have a lot more "L" glass to buy before you get to the end.

Im gunna set up a councelling service specializing in eLitis.
Spaceman how did you know I had the Lowepro Micro Trekker100 ? .....you dont happen to have the Manfrotto 679 Monopod do you, I forgot to mention that the salesman said that I really must have one of those Oh and 2X 512 cf cards....

So this was the original place. I see why it was abandoned.

hah it never ends. i started out with a rebel XTI and 70-300 is USM...literally within a week i upgraded to the 40d and 70-200 f/4L and am now saving for a 1dMKIII and 300 f/2.8 L IS and 1.4 and 2.0 tc's....it NEVER ends...after that ill be going for the 400 f/2.8 lol

LOL the last post b4 me is from May of 2004. Don't get your hopes up to high. that is a very quick turn around on equipment though congratulations on that.

I guess so.

I suppose I've gotten membership into the Lcaholic group but I've actually been thinking of selling my 70-200/2.8 simply because I never use it

That would be foolish! That lens will come in handy one day and you'll have it! Sweet temporary avatar Nick!

I know. The whole reason I bought it was because I had wanted to do some sports shots and there is a highschool within walking distance of my house but I just don't seem to have the time. I work, I go diving and now I'm going to try to go biking more often (I was even just thinking about buying my bro's bike from him because he never uses it and I might try to pimp that out into a street bike while leaving my full suspension mountain bike the way it is).

Thanks. They gave those patches to every rider that made it to the second to last rest stop (I think it was around the 82 or 83 mile mark). And what makes you think it's temporary

I see you've dropped "kitten" from your signature altogether but have not added Nick. You maybe busy now but you'll make time when your ready.

Yup, I don't know if I'll add "Nick" though. Well, I hope that time comes before I decide that it's gathered too much dust. As it is I've dropped down to carrying only my XT, 50 and 24-70

At least with the good lenses you can re-coup your money at any time. So don't be in to big of a hurry to move it out.

Eh, you've got a point there. I've also got plenty of other stuff to try to sell that I honestly don't need (like "Magic: The Gathering" trading cards). I should be able to get some pocket change from the three file-boxes of cards that I have
