Ken,

All the best to your wife & yourself.

Indeed it's a no-brainer: you must be very PROUD!

How about: happily angry???
Like you're pissed off, but cant help the proud thing!


Again wish her well 100%.

Cheers.

Best to you and Her Ken!

You KNOW your an Oakley fanatic when you get your wife converted!

Thanks for all of the kind words everyone. My wife's "pericarditis" they believe was caused by a virus and she does not have some kind of heart malady. It's now long gone. At least we don't have to fight over who gets the next O purchase in the household...ME!

...you purchase multiple and various colored cell phone covers so that you can accessorize to the particular color of your Oakley frame that day.

My wife got a new blackberry and I was stupid enough to ask why she had so many different covers...

you've stopped wearing hats with your sunglasses because the hats tend to get more attention than the glasses themselves...

Ken: you're a freak!

Dan: you are wreckless!


And I love it all!!

..you go to the doctor's office and, when you take your shirt off for your EKG, you make sure that the O on your shirt is showing on the chair next to the examination table!

you have hernia surgery with your Radars on!

priceless !!

...you go to dictionary.com to see the detailed definition for "fastidious" and see the Oakley ad just above the definition section.

Seems appropriate based on the definitions!

Main Entry: fas·tid·i·ous
Pronunciation: \fa-ˈsti-dç-əs, fə-\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin fastidiosus, from fastidium disgust, probably from fastus arrogance (probably akin to Latin fastigium top) + taedium irksomeness — more at tedium
Date: 15th century
1 archaic : scornful
2 a : having high and often capricious standards : difficult to please <critics…so fastidious that they can talk only to a small circle of initiates — Granville Hicks> b : showing or demanding excessive delicacy or care c : reflecting a meticulous, sensitive, or demanding attitude <fastidious workmanship>

it sure does apply, maybe even more so to Juliet ruby "first" gen.

You know that Luxxotica, Oakley's parent company, also produces gas station glasses which only cost $10, and you know that o-matter Oakley's only cost <$5 to produce. Knowing those facts, you still have no problems spending an average $130 per pair on Oakley o-matter frames.

...You get a concussion, and the only thing you remember about the ambulance ride was the EMT's Splices and how jealous you were...

You might be a fanatic when your 10 year old daughter counts all the adults wearing Oakleys at a church event and gives a full accounting of the number of wearers and models worn...I have created a monster!

Haha, awesomeness. That's they way to raise your kids mate :D

....when your eleven year old calls out everything Oakley he sees anywhere you go....

....when same 11 year old asks dad to email Dann and create him an account (Trevor1998) here on the review for him to show off his first two pairs and other odds and ends....

....when same mentioned juvenile draws dad a surprise pic of certain truck at summer school (teacher said was ok, cuz shes evidentally a fan as well) so i would have a way to put my truck in my case...

.....created a monster?? .....nope....a mad scientist in the making!!

Dammit. You guys almost make me want to have kids. :D

i say go for it ian

You see a pair on Ebay and say "Those are awesome - I have to have them!" Then realize you already do.



You schedule a weekend trip 5 hrs away to pick up a new tower and your wife says "Ok - whatever." Yep = that pretty much makes me a pro...

Get the wife on board and yeah - you're a pro.

You see a pair on Ebay and say "Those are awesome - I have to have them!" Then realize you already do.

... and then you buy the second pair anyways.

Get the wife on board and yeah - you're a pro.

So considering Dawn's involvement/obsession level...what does that make me?

You know you're a fanatic when you have doubles of interesting pairs so you can wear one and keep the other locked up.

....when people stop you in the airport and ask if you work for Oakley. because having on an Oakley shirt, shades, watch, suitcsae, and briefcase WOULD NOT give anyone that impression.....

Then that person, finding out you don't work for Oakley, proceeds to proudly show off, shirt, shoes, shades, and luggage of his own.

True story- just happened to me a couple of hours ago at the BUdget REntal Car counter at the SLC airport.

D

That is awesome :D

Ahhhh, but did HE work for Oakley?
