Bout of Idiocy: Adding to the Credit Card

I am weak and pathetic. After using one in Southern Florida I came home and decided I needed to buy a kayak....ASAP. I had never used a kayak before, EVER. I rode one for about 20 minutes on the ocean and decided this could quite possibly be the answer to all of life's problems. I headed to Dick's Sporting Goods, after doing some research, thinking it's only $130, I've lost more playing blackjack at the casino but my research was apparently not thorough. As I made my way to the checkout I noticed there were no paddles. Assuming paddles were a cheap accessory I moseyed over to the paddle section to find that they were about $50 per paddle and I need to two as they inflatable kayak is for two people. When it was all said and done I dropped $220 on a stupid inflatable kayak that is presently sitting on my living room and probably will for the rest of the summer. Shoot me.

you can always return it. Anyways, wouldn't you rather have a plastic kayak than an inflatable one?

A two person plastic kayak would cost about $600 or so and would be 15 feet long. Not very portable.
