Default Chrome addiction?

so, I got the Fat Bob with the denim black finish, thinking to myself that I do just fine without a totally chromed toy...why then do I now find myself browsing the catalogs and buying all these damned chrome trinkets?

You have been infected. Thats all there is to it.
As much as I hate polishing chrome, I have an attraction to it also
It must be a disease

It is a disease spread by dealers at time of delivery (think it has something to do with that T shirt) No known cure
