And to all of you that don't have a LV store nearby... Neener neener!!

Undoubtedly the mother of all suckage!

It's not all it's cracked up to be.

1) You're living from paycheck to credit card to paycheck to support your
woodworking addiction.
2) You go into an LV store and come out with a few more toys, but your
wallet feels likes it's been strip searched by an anti-terrorist squad
before it was handed over to an 800 lb gorilla for final inspection.
3) You get your butt three steps out of an LV store and decide to go back in
and buy one more toy 'since you're already there'. Two hours later, you come
out the door with six more toys, not one.
4) You go into an LV store to buy a gift for a friend, come out with five
things for yourself and are just pulling into your driveway when you
remember you forgot to buy the gift for your friend. Forget about him, he
didn't get you anything last year anyway.
5) You were a hard core drug addict for ten years but managed to kick the
habit when you took up woodworking and found a Lee Valley Tools store. Now
you're so broke all the time and the bill collectors are after you so much
that you wish you were still a drug addict instead. At least when you were a
drug addict, it didn't bother you to break into someone's house and steal
their woodworking tools. Much better than the bill collectors trying to
repossess your tools.
6) There's two Lee Valley Stores in your city (Toronto) and they're situated
at opposite ends of the city. You have such a hard time trying to decide
which one to go to that you go to both of them because, well, ummm, just
because it will be fun.
7) All the women you know have abandoned you for other guys with more
woodworking tools for you. In an effort to reclaim your former status as the
king of tools, you're forever doomed to walk the floors of Lee Valley Tools
stores looking for that special new toy that no one else has yet.

It's a nightmare I tell you. Just a horrible, terrible nightmare that I live
through every day.
