Odysseus, aka Ulysses listened to the siren song whilst tied to the mast of his shop.
Not unlike the sweet siren song of that next Parker...

Dean, why we do things is a subconscious urge that has no mode of communication, hence it is very hard to explain. Parker Mania like any other compulsive disorder is basically getting hooked on dopamine which is the feel good hormone that we naturally produce and is the basis of addictive behavior.

Ask a millennial why they are addicted to facebook, snapchat, smart phones in general and very few can explain why they can't live without it. Every time they hear a ding that someone liked their post or sends them a text, they get shot of dopamine.

Essentially shooting and collecting old sxs's and more particular Parker's can in worse case scenario become an obsessive compulsive disorder that we can get so ingrained and dependent and part of our lives it takes complete control of us.

I think the link below is a perfect example and Pete's reaction to hearing the Siren song is a perfect example. Instead of the women doing laundry picture those fine ladies sitting on a rock with an oil cloth polishing an old Parker.

I think that is from Homer's Odyssey, when Odysseus tied himself the mast and crew used beeswax so as not hear the Sirens so as not to steer ship into the rocks.

The movie O'Brother Where Art Thou is based on the Odyssey and is a very funny Coens brothers movie.

I need to figure put how to not look at gun sites on the computer. This has led to my financial discomfort on more than one occasion.
