When do you know you are hooked on EF?

[MplsTom]

1) When you see something cool on a MF website and now you want to totally re-do all your teams that way.

2) When you're trying to name your pet and all you come up with is "Tookie" (Lassiter), "Spike" (Diamond), "Punk" (Bartels), and "Chachi"

3) When you see an alternate uniform on TV and the first thing you do is try to visualize that on an EF figure

4) When you spend way more than you should (or your wife knows about) on this hobby..well said Jeff

5) When you drive past a garage sale and the only thing you're looking for outside is an EF board

6) When you try to explain to your wife that it isn't just MF stuff you want for a present, it is this certain type of painted figure, etc...

when your friends bring there kids over and you keep checking on your players every 2 - 3 minutes to make sure they dont touch them. I had a friend over once and when her son walked into the living room with a player I almost lost it! She was like whats the big deal, its just a little figure. Now she dont come over anymore......

Every time you see a board on the shelves in any store, or garage sale, you buy it no matter what.

WHEN I'M IN PORTSMOUTH, VA, IN A FIVE STAR HOTEL WITH ALL THIS AND I SEND HER SHOPPING WITH DEARELL'S WIFE SO I CAN GO IN THE GAMEROOM AND TALK TO RR, K-LO, TY, ED SCOTT AND COREY.

BE VERY CAREFUL. THAT'S ABOUT TO BE MRS. CHAMP.
