I never ceased to be amazed at how many people can latch on to something that so many find trivial and devote a significant portion of their lives to it. Everywhere you look and most anything you see, someone has decided to make that thing their thing and get really frickin good at it, or at least really into it.

I am all for mastery of something, but one would hope that the thing has some functional purpose. No offense to you Dungeons and Dragons fans.
