When you curse the family get together during the holidays because you only need 3 points to jump another spot on the AOTY list and you KNOW where to get them ... you might have the addiction.
 
When you start to plan ways to go on disability so you will have more time to compete in the AOTY .... you may have the addiction.

If, when you sit down with the Architect to design your new house, you have him raise the garage opening by 18" and then have the contractor add another panel to the garage door, just so you can drive into the garage with the kayak on top - then you have the Madness!

...when you have a room IN the house for the Kayaks AND it's better furnished than your bedroom ... you have the madness

When you curse out a several hundred million dollar engineering masterpiece because they didn't make it long enough to allow you access to another launch spot - you may have the Madness

Haha if you find yourself tearing thru the dump store try to scrounge up parts for a roof rack!!
When your in the market for a car your only concern is will it haul my yak.. :smt003
Better yet.  When you are shopping for a new car, your first thoughts are if the roof racks will support multiple yaks and if you have an extra NCKA sticker to put on the car.

You may have " The Madness" when you have to refer to your NCKA reports to make sure you got your sick days correct when filling out your monthly time card.
