Have you ever broke anything on purpose, just for an excuse to buy a new one?
Currently, whenever I suffer a bad beat, I hit my 19" CRT monitor as hard as I can on both sides. The screen flickers and slowly goes back to normal. The flickering is getting worse. I think that I am sub-consciously trying to break it so that I can get a 2001fp to replace it, even though I know I really should hold off on one of those for the time being.
It reminds me of an article I read in the onion about a guy who kept his cell phone in his back pocket. He would try to break it by sitting on it so he could get a new one.
