Don't I wish.

It was 1977 and it was a college graduation present. You're off by about 35 years.

*I still have both camera and lens.

I also have some aged Provolone. Little bit of green stuff on the edges. No worries. This is cheese, after all. The Provolone has not been in contact with nokiN cheese suppliers. They are headquartered in some other weird place.

It's a problem when your K-mount gets spots on it.

Itchy.

I caught a salmon once but it had "hocir" printed on it's tail so I threw it back.

But did it have Pentax printed on its dorsal fin?

I'm pretty sure that a new lens or other photographic accessory purchase will inoculate you against further hociR-itis

I've been meaning to ask. If you live in Oz, where everything is upside down compared to the real world up here, does the logo on the back of your K3 naturally spell hociR? And what keeps the Joeys in the Jill's pouches? Do the wardens glue them in there with Vegemite?

Same thing that keeps any Joey in Jill's pouch anywhere else in the world...

My new 43 Limited arrived from BHPhoto yesterday. Been out playing with it today and I do believe I will be keeping it. I guess this means I am well inoculated against Canon.

It is also another reason why I won't buy a K-3.

I'm way too broke from buying my new kitten tons of catnip puffies, toy mice, and jingle balls to even think about buying anything else. The Little Hellion insists upon new toys pretty much on a bi-weekly basis. Where they all go is beyond me but I'm beginning to wonder if Loki has been throwing them into a black hole or something because look though I may around here they keep on vanishing at an astonishing rate. I've gotten him at least 2 dozen balls, 2 dozen mice etc, and 4 bags of catnip puffies in the 10 months I've had him and at best I can find 1 ball and a couple of mice, and maybe half a dozen puffies around at any given time.

The only reason I put up with it is having tons of toys around it keeps his overactive self from bugging Lily TOO much, and he loves to play fetch, which I want to keep him doing, because it's a good way for him to keep fit, is adorable and I love it when a cat does that. Lily used to a lot as a kitten, but she's gotten lazy in her old age and won't hardly anymore. I don't want that to happen with him so I toss as many toys for him to chase as he will bring back but his toy habit is cutting bigtime into my doll funds and my Hello Kitty Bank isn't very happy either because she's not been getting to gobble nearly as much of my spare change...
