They just don't have a taste for our flavor of crazy (mostly bacon-cheddar).

That makes sense.
On a side note, I wish it snowed here, for once...

Yes, and I totally respect her ability, passion, and loyalty. That said, reading that thread makes my head hurt - the way "normal" people must feel when they wander into this one.

What I'm not NORMAL

I used to hate Hocir also, but after they adjusted my medication, I am feeling much better! And me too!! Shut up I'm talking!!!

No! We are the light at the end of the tunnel for all mankind. Or at least PF.

Are we an oncoming train? Or just a train wreck waiting to happen?

Truth, as in the the tunnel of Plato's cave, must be experienced rather than told because language fails to convey belief. This theme is a constant in R***h's work. Language is the barest shadow of reality, and people who are firmly committed to a cheese and bacon view often echo this statement — faith in R***h having a plan can’t be given to other people, but must be experienced to be known.

i'm still not buying a K3 at that price. Maybe if I wait 3 years it will be ~500.

But then there'd be a K1 or something, so I still wouldn't buy a k3.

maybe we need a "Why I won't buy a Pentax FF camera" thread?

maybe we need a "why i'll never eat cheez wiz again" thread?

We are not off-topic! There are many reasons why one should not purchase a K-3 and many of those have to do with cheese, beer, fast cars, Tokyo, and Hocir!!!

More like a train wreck that already happened.

It is possible to be a Pentax user, without acknowledging the existence of Ricoh. You just need black electrical tape.

I thought we were leading people out of the Canonite and Nikonite wilderness. Apparently someone has now created a Ricohnite wilderness. Come to the promised land of Pentax I say.

I know. Some of the most enjoyable experiences I have had were while snow skiing.

Can't do that without snow.

Can I become ordained via an ad in the back of Rolling Stone magazine?

I'm still grappling with the philosophical implications of creating a wilderness, that wasn't there before.
