Well maybe they are now, but they were all once happily married. It's
just that they bought the latest bling-bling DSLR, then found their
collection wouldn't be complete without this or that lens, a pro type
bag, dedicated flash, heavy tripod, new computer, Photoshop CS2, DVD
burner, A3 printer... Before long, the long-suffering wife has fled the
family home in search of someone more interested in her than the noggin
who drools over the latest Nikon or Canon brochure...

Just curious... Would doopydoo be some arcane reference to a hair gel?

There once was a highly advertised women's hair product named
Dippity Doo. Probably a gel, I never saw it other than in TV ads.
