I will admit, I can be fairly intense about my pursuits. When I get excited about something I tell everyone I know about it, and frequently drag them into it with me. Throughout my life there have been many examples - the SCA, Judo, Kendo, handball, squash, boomerangs, kiting, etc. Lately it's been running and kettlebells, and I am happy to report that I have made at least 4 or 5 converts to running, and at least 6 of the local Flock are playing with kettlebells regularly. I know it can be irritating to those who don't want to hear about my latest thingy nonstop, but it could be worse, right? I mean, what if my newset obsession was something really detrimental, like... drugs? Or being a Republican? [shudder]
At any rate, these pictures make my enthusiasm for kettlebells look positively luke-warm by comparison.
I have owned two homes, and even done some professional landscaping in my time, but regardless of how excited I have been about various hobbies, I have never committed such offenses of topiary excess. These folks are clearly serious about their kettlebells - I imagine the animated Santa they put on their lawn in December is doing a military press with a 16kg instead of waving...
Ok, I'll admit, I'm a little jealous, but not enough to run down to the nursery and buy some junipers.
Not yet, anyway...
Obsession
