you have goggles in at least 3 colors - one for each wavelength

you have a tools box/drawer and a laser parts box/drawer

you separate your stashes of diodes by size (5.6mm/9mm/bigger) and wavelength.

you buy a box to "store" your lasers that you currently aren't using.

you buy your wife uranium glass jewelry just to justify buying blu-rays for you and your wife.

you know what a PHR diode and sled looks like but have no idea what the DVD drive looks like it came from.

You buy a regulated power supply to test possible good diode in your spare time.

I hope this isn't considered too old for a bump.

I thought of another one this morning, and no shit, this actually happened.

You might be a laser nut if you find yourself thinking of your frizzy hair in terms of fast axis frizz and slow axis frizz.

You might also be a laser nut if you tried to type axis twice and had to backspace both times because you typed Aixiz (again, no shit.)

You spent $800+ on a Casio projector and never even watched one movie on it.;)

You have typed the word 'goggle' more times than the word 'google'.:eek:

You awaken in the middle of the night, and notice it has become foggy and you grab a laser just to beam it out into the fog.(again):wave:

You post in this thread.:D

You have not had the time to look at any porn in years.:cryyy:



ps i represent being called a nut!!!.... but :thanks:

A nice blue beam has the same effect on you as porn.

every time you see a new material, you think to yourself "I wonder what that will look like if I lase it"

every time you see a moving object you try to glue a mirror to it

I just started about two months ago with this addiction, and I tell you so many of these are true for me as well,

I was in an arts and crafts store looking for a container to hold sled parts and diodes when I saw a flashlight, and I completely asked myself outloud if it would be a good host ;)

Most of my fellow addicts alreadly thought up all of the quirks that make us laser nuts...

Great Job Everyone!!!

You might be a laser nut if you are building four White Fusion Time Machines at one time :D

Let's see:

you think of the corresponding laser if you see a random number somewhere that is equal to a wavelength of a laser

you sort lasers in boxes by type and wavelength

you immediatly think about laser safety glasses when people talk about normal glasses

you have more laser safety glasses than women have pairs of shoes

you always have a RGV set of pointers with you, even though you know you don't have to give a presentation

you have more lasers than time

you just finished you bachelor assignment at the laser physics department of you local university.

you participate in a sport contest with a group from the same laser physics department (our team name: "the cavity creeps")

So totally true ...

You might be a laser nut if you do not eat your lunch to save money for lasers (one that does that will know who he is :D )

You might be a laser nut if your "Send money" button on paypal looks like this:
button.jpg

(You think I should get mine replaced? It still works but .... a lot of wear and tear)

You might be a laser nut if you are scanning through DX lasers although you know they are crap.

You might be one if you want to kill somebody when it's foggy night and you didn't bring any lasers with you.

You might as well be one if you are even reading this now.

... you associate certain type of insects with laser meters... :D

Welcome back , Jerry!

EDIT: You might be a laser nut if you can already see laser show effect to a technobeat that is playing now.
