I was hooked at the age of 4...but I am reminded today everytime I go into the grocery store and go down the utensil isle looking to see if I can use anything for my football stadium!
It is amazing what can be used for this hobby with just a little imagination...

extreme business
Yep, I can vouch for all this. I've gone so far as to spend 10 years building a company and taking it public just to support my outrageous MF spending habit! LOL! Yes, it really is what drives my business! I'm even so bold now as to show investors my EF websites and I'm even getting one into this hobby! How's that for going bananas for MF?!?! ?! !?

Wow!!!!
This is crazy. There are others out there like me. i am normal.
i can relate to EVERYTHING that was said here. Especially, almost all that DetroitChild posted, then the parts about going down aisles looking for ef stuff and the best, lying to the wife about how much money i actually spend on this hobby.

I reflect on guys on my block that were bitten by the EF Bug used to.....
buy money orders (late 70's early 80's)for $3-6 and type a $3-5 infront of the number to increse the value and sent them to Tudor games for teams...it worked until they reviewed the MO and would send letters about the MO, by then they would have saved up the proper amount form their allowances ad or cleaning up hair at the local barber shops to give to their parents to cover the fee before the "Federal Charges
 " letter would arrive flg$ it was funny because they would have to go into the liquer store to purchase the MO, it did not become a major issue until they started using USPS MO.....aka tickets to the FEDs . I laugh now but we didnt know better at age 12-16:rolleyes: we just wanted teams and bases.They would also order every team from Sears Catalog and back then sears would let you see your stuff......in a private room  (I will not incriminate my friends and it is well over 20 years )but many empty boxes were left in the catalog section rooms....go figure:rolleyes: I am not an advocate for deviant behavior...just refelecting on how far some guys went for some EF stuff when we were kids.

I used to go into TOYS R' US and find the SuperBowl games broken into and missing the teams. it was so easy to steal the teams from those boxes. i was ALWAYS tempted, but i just couldnt do it. The thought of getting caught was scary and just wasnt worth it. but boy, did i want to.
anyway, to answer the question - "You know you are hooked when...." i know i am hooked when i am trying to pass off this site as a teaching resource for an assignment in my graduate class tonight. i deal with behavior management in a middle school, so the other 2 websites will be of that nature. but the third site i had to find (relating to my job and classroom) will be this site as pertaining to my afterschool program. The jaw on my professor is going to drop when i introduce this one. this is going to be hysterical, trying to pull this off in class. wish me luck.

I knew I was hooked after I painted my first two teams, started constructing a stadium, worrying about field dress and what materials to use while running back and forth between the hobby shops and wal-mart....and I haven't even played a game yet
