OK guys - I'm bored today - thought this might be fun - feel free to use yourself or other members as long as it's good natured - keep it fun!

You might be an Oakley Fanatic if....

-You are the only guy you know that has the serial number of his watch memorized....

-You buy the same thing over and over each time saying "what the hell am I gonna use this for??"...

-You refuse to take your wife out for a nice dinner because you need the cash for Gascans...

-You are waaay more interested in the display at a store than the actual merchandise....

-You have actually looked into the details of donating various body fluids for some extra cash....

-you want to go to the mall with your significant other because there is a glasses kiosk

-you repeatedly head into any glasses store even if you know they're nothing new, and nothing you want

-75% of your collection is 'too valuable to be worn'

-your wallet cost more than the amount of money it's ever held.

- You have more than 3 weeks of wasted time on the Hall of Fame on the O Review.

- You make it your life's mission to indoctrinate all your friends to also become an O fanatic.

- Whenever you see anyone wearing Oakleys, in real life, TV or film, you're able to identify the model, frame colour and lens colour instantly.

-you give passer by's an understanding nod if they are wearing Oakley's too (much to their confusion)

-ebay scouring is about as essential in the morning as coffee.

-the color "Ruby" means more than gold to you

-Romeo and Juliet are the best Sharespear names ever

-Ichiro is not a baseball player

-The letter "O" is not just another alphabet

-Foothill Ranch is where God lives

-your Penny is worth more than a penny

- The only place you buy clothes from is an OPD.

- You respect people a whole lot more if they're wearing Oakley.

-You spend more time trying find Oakley in the movie than actually watching it....

-You finally have the money clip - but never have the money...

-you spend more time trying to figure out which pair of shoes to wear than the wife...

-You grab a large man's arm in a bar to look at his Timebomb (I've actually done this one)

-You start selling Oakley's to customers at a retailer that you don't actually work at.

-You lie to your wife about the length of your meeting to buy 2 extra hours of O shopping

-You obsessively search for a pair of glasses that you used to own but sold & now want back again. (me currently)

-You've done it with your Oakley's on! B^o

PS, I love this thread!

- You wore Oakley's before they were cool and before anyone even knew what Oakley's were and still wear them. (me)

LOL - hilarious!

-You scare the crap out of some little guy in a bar 'cause you keep staring at his RX's....

-O-Review has suddenly replaced your *other* online activity as most time consuming....

-You have to be buck nekkid in order to not have "something" Oakley on your person....

-you bought a Ti wedding band because it was the closest thing to having an x-metal ring.

-a T6 screwdriver is one of your most precious tools

-The Moon, the Mars and the Crater all look similar

-having a gas can is a big deal

_ You anxiously cross the days off on your calendar until the new Oakleys are finally released.

_ When you hear the mailman you run like a wild man (or in my case woman) to the door to see if he delivered the Oakleys you were expecting. If not, you go throught the same thing the next day.

_ You always listen to the weather report, so you can plan which Oakleys to wear.

for my fellow students:

- when you skip class to enter a bid on a pair of sunglasses

- when your scholarship check conjures up images of all the pairs you've been drooling over for the last semester

This is fun!

-You're suddenly much more open to your wife's vacation suggestions based on where there is an O store...

even better....

-You log onto Oakley.com to determine your next vacation destination options....

well i have obviously come into this too late cos all the ones i was thinking have already been said.
the postman one that sallie mentioned is a major one.
ive had to stay in for deliveries more times than i can remember.

im trying to train the GF but she still complains if we go into more than 5 sunglasses shops on a shopping trip.
and 99% of the time i only go into to see how they have done their display or to make sure i have more than them.
(which i always do and they are the ones with the cabinet and not me, what is this world coming to)

-if u buy a pair as a "beater pair", but when you start using them, you cant bear to "beat" them because they are brand new

-you buy 2 pairs of the same model so one is for the collection the other is your everyday "beat up pair"


p.s. is this thread based on Jeff Foxworthy's "you might be a redneck..."? :)

I was walking around the house this morning desperately trying to find a good use for one of the many lanyards I have laying around and suddenly thought - "how pathetic is this??...I must be a fanatic..."

That's where it came from....

- you take up a sport just to buy the Oakley gear
- you know your collection by SKU
- you can tell fakes on eBay just by reading the description
- you know more about Oakley than the local dealer
- you like Ti Clear because now you don't need sun to wear sunglasses
- you want eye problems so you can wear Rx

-The TSA agent at the airport gets the bomb sniffing dog and asks to have your bag open for closer inspection of the "suspicious metal boxes" in your bag. (Vaults)

This is great

You buy your wife flowers the day before u make a big O purchase.........I just did that

You bury the box of the Oakleys you lost in the backyard and weep like it was a relative......

-You discreetly hide your Newer Oakley purchases from your wife for about 2 months so when she finally does see them you can legitimately tell her "Oh, I bought those a long time ago"

-You feel you should arrange some sort of rite-of-passage ceremony when a friend finally buys their first pair.

-You talk about Oakley's like other guys talk about breasts "I saw a pair on this chick today. Wow! They looked awesome. I wanted to get a closer look just to see if they were real!"

- if you've ever sent Dann 300 pics of Oakley stuff for the Catalogue

which everybody should do...

When your wife has drawn out an "Oakley Purchasing Schedule" for you, you might just be an Oakley fanatic!

Yo tick - I pull the "No honey, I bought these a long time ago" trick quite often....

I've also used the "I bought these a month ago - but they were shipped from Canada - it takes quite a while..."
