At the request of @Jon the Don, I bring you the "I Broke My Oakleys" List - The most distressing list that shall ever be created.
How to Use this List
If you ever feel depressed, read on. For these sad tales of woe shall surely bring salve and comfort to your weary journey of life.
Foreword
Our hearts go out to our dear comrades whose Oakleys were not stolen, nor lost, but rather, disfigured and broken by their own hand. Hear ye, this be the worstest of curses ever to befall upon a collector. Nay brothers.
Laugh not at their severe misfortune for they indeed are in the deepest of pits, descended to the place of gnashing of teeth, where the worm dieth not, the eternal undying flames licking open wounds, and where sounds of fingernails being drawn across blackboards echo across the desolate places.
Instead, dear brethren, draw near to the cursed with compassionate and tender hearts as they wallow the wastelands in their unassailable grief. Never again shall they ascend that mighty mountain of pure and complete collections. Forever broken and incomplete, their Oakleys remain. For indeed, surely their beating hearts have been torn asunder from their chest in the same way that a ravenous vulture feasts upon the rotting flesh along Route 66.
Having prepared thyself press onward. I present thee.....
The Saddest of All Sad Lists:-
