Or: "The thread you don't want to show your wife!"
Or: "How Steevo bought 41 guns (that he can remember) and spent a fraction of retail on them!"

I see what you did there, with your signature.

One visa credit card, that is just for Airsoft, had a over $3000 for this year alone. My wife is an accountant and when she saw that, well she just shook her head and had a couple of vodkas. That does not count what was spent in cash for my hobby. Haha.

Way too much. I don't even remember half the money I have spent, but it's got to total over ten grand altogether, probably a little over that. I don't even want to think about it now... darn it Stephen, my wife better not see this thread. BTW I can verify a lot of Stephen's numbers firsthand, he isn't kidding.

"Call me Mr. Angry"

Wonder why.

Oh, I see this thread showing up in somebodys divorce proceedings. On time many years ago my wife asked me to put all my real guns on the kitchen table so she could "just look". HAHA I didn't do it then and have no reason to do it now even though we have been divorced almost 18 years. And no, that was not the cause of the divorce, but it may have had something to do with my aversion to getting remarried. LOL

Don't fall for Steevo's trap boys, he will show this to someone just to prove he isn't the only one who spends about 70% of his income on airsoft!
