Haha! Yeah, well I would see the price tag for a set of skis and say, "Man! Think of the knives you could get for that!" Many of us have hobbies that probably look pretty whacky to those who don't share them. My most expensive kitchen knife, for instance, costs over $800. I have a $1,000 vacuum sealer on my kitchen counter. I have over a dozen Japanese natural water stones, some of them pretty rare, and another fifty or so synthetic water stones. If this seems over the top, then think about what people spend on cars, watches, sail boats, etc.

Some of us just don't wanna stop collecting toys just because we've grown up!
