My Oakley addiction is getting worse... and I'm realizing it!

[thatoakleyguy]

I always tell people whose jaw drops when I tell them how many I have, "Hey, it could be worse. I could be doing drugs" haha

So it seems certain members here influence the value for the rest of us with their hordeing! I should've able to get some Romeo 1's at retail. Lol. Thanks guys...

This month I've bought 8 pairs so far which has doubled my collection, I only started last September but after joining this forum and learning more about oaks I see atleast 10 pairs a day that I "have to buy" lol..it's ridiculous really but I love it. This week I have my witk coming from o-nerd and my first x-metal...1st gen Juliet, plasma with emerald...couldn't be happier but I'm very aware that it's an addiction. May not be for others but certainly is for me.. Can't wait to see what I get next month. Ha

I joined in Sept. 2011 with 14 pairs of Jawbones and 1 pair of Monster Dogs.

I have been on a buying binge lately like a crack whore at times, when I first started it was only buying what I would wear, no trailer queens, that has changed somewhat as I have a couple that I won't wear since I don't look good with them on.

27 Dogs
12 Fuels
9 Hijinx
6 Pit Bosses
1 Eyepatch
1 Batwolf
3 Juliets
1 Mag Switch
9 Antix
1 Scalpel
1 Holbrook
3 Plates
2 Gas Cans
1 Straight Jacket

I need O.A. 12 step program
