Early christmas present

[Ripsnort]

My old "free" S40 4.0 megapixel Canon died after 3 years of good service. So, my budget was $700 due to the fact that I spent $44,000 on toys in the last year, and I'm about to spend $64,000 in the next 3 months...wife annexed anything over $700, as I eyed the Canon Rebel...

G6 7.1 megapixel works, for an amateur like I that just shoots kids growing up. I still have my manual Pentax 35mm if I want to get serious...

First picture using Macro (with doctored negative contrast)  This is the small lense cap for the camera :

$44,000 in toys last year?   Your kids aren't going to grow up!

Can I come over and play sometime, btw?

Did I ever tell you how much I like you Rip?  

Wow, 44k on toys... my fiancee *****ed about two new sets of skiis this year!  I need to let her talk to your wife!

You have allready planned exactly how to spend the exact sum of $64,000 to buy "toys" over the definite time of 3 months but you only leave a budet of $700 for a camera..

Wow, another Ripsnort bragging thread.

Jebus, Rip.

Don't you have real friends to brag to.  You know, the ones that you can see in person.  Or have you run all of those off from your constant bragging.

Oh wait.  I know.  Let's play the Drippy game.

You brag about something and then I'll brag about how I did it better.

Well, then you brag about how you did it even better than me and then I'll reciprocate.

I just celebrated 6 years with the old bird this past Saturday.  Drediock, those words are almost gospel.

I'm sitting here at school between classes and I go check at HTC to see if there's anything interesting to read.  Apparently so because I found that I had replied to several threads last night and I don't remember do it.  Of course I was drunk.

Maybe you should ask yourself a similiar question, Drunky? Hows that liver doing?

Someone should call the feds.

Kind of depends on what "toys" is defined by.  If I ever get another Mustang that will definately be a "toy" for me... assuming I ever graduate and get a real job it'll be a damn expensive toy too.  

But basically are you all just jealous or Rip because he is winning the "game"... or pissed off at him for rubbing it in your faces?  

Just let him enjoy his success, whats the harm in it?
