you spend a half hour searching for ONE specific post you somehow remember making about 4 years ago
EDIT it was Actually nearl 5 years ago |
Yesterday two things happened that make me wonder why I'm not in a mental institution...
First, we pull up to my grandparents house and my brother shouts: "It's the Sauce Pan Man!" Second: We were watching television and an advertisement came on; it said: "Get your new Phantom today." |
not sure if this counts as "Addiction" or "Narcissism" anyone else search fdor themselves to see if anyone's talking about them?
|
I have not done that, but thanks for the idea.
I can tell I am addicted since every time the internet or email is mentioned in a book I am reading, I instantly think about this site. |
I may be the only one but...
As soon as you find out someone likes LOTR even in the smallest bit you suggest they check out the barrowdowns |

When whatever you open Firefox for, you automatically go first on the 'Downs and then wonder how you got there... :rolleyes:

All the time, Steve, all the time. (Except I use internet explorer.:D)
This was one of my friend's facebook status. Quote:

I just realised that there's a bar named Elmo's Bar on my way to work. :D

I've been (re)reading the Harry Potter series, and the ghosts celebrating deathdays amused me greatly (and so did the Filibuster Fireworks, which is probably a really bad sign!).
Also, Legate, Greenie and I were watching Disney's Robin Hood the other day and we cracked up totally when we found out the cute little rabbit is called Skippy. :D |
When you're in a new job and have to start one hour earlier than was your wont, plus 40 minutes of driving to work, all of which really sucks because you've always been a late sleeper - and yet you manage to get up another 5 minutes early just so you can spend those 5 minutes on the Downs reading last Night's narration from your current WW game and finding out who was killed.
(Needless to say, you weren't as disciplined the night before when the sensible thing would have been to go to sleep an hour before DL, at the latest!). |
When you regret not posting on the Downs yesterD... erm... yesterday because you didn't have a chance to make the most of Talk Like a Pirate Day. :rolleyes: :cool: :smokin:

As I was making my normal, routine trip to Starbucks yesterday morning. I parked next to a lime-green Honda Civic. On the side, in yellow print was "The Green Dragon" and beneath it something about rewarder's points.
I chuckled and considered taking a picture, but thought it would be unethical. What I did not know, is the man in front of me in line at Starbucks was the driver of The Green Dragon vehicle. So, as we were walking out and both back to our respective cars, I asked where I could find The Green Dragon, because I heard it has the best ale north of the Ohio River. I could not resist the temptation. I thought it was funny, the guy just stared at me awkwardly, as if waiting to find out whether he heard me correctly and not wanting to put him through anymore awkwardness just said "have a good day." |
This is great, Boro! Sounds like something any of us would do!

You realize that the in-depth analysis that you have to do for each reading (for a Graduate School class) is a surprisingly familiar and easy task. Then you realize that it is because of time spent doing WW analysis.

It's somehow fitting that you mention that right now - tomorrow's election day in Germany, and I don't really trust any of them, so I might be tempted to vote ++No Captain:D |

On that note, today, while going somewhere, we passed a pub called The Green Dragon. You can imagine my reaction. I'll have to remember to go there sometime (though I am to young to buy alcohol). ;) |
Probably if the word "stick" first brings to your mind a 'downer. And especially if you are very startled to see the last name only one letter different from Mac and Rikae's only a minute after spotting the word "stick" on some garbage on the street. *shakes head in a worried manner*
|
Hahahaha Lommy that is fabulous.
|
*cackles*
I compulsively check the Facebook thread for the Boston (Tea) Party now. Just sayin'. Also, I was waiting for a page to load and part of the code/site/whatever was "&author=token". My first thought was "Ah, if only. That'd be funny." My second was "Oh gosh, they're turning me into one of them!" :p |
You know you're addicted when you start to recognise BDers in films...
So I'm currently watching Ingmar Bergman's Smultronstället and suddenly I come across a character and think, "Omg, it's skippy." :eek: No joke. I looked up pictures of the actor and found these: One Two Three Surely I'm not going crazy. So skippy, any chance you're related to an actor from the 1950's? |
Is that last one from Wild Strawberries?
|
A sign is...
...when you forget to take the food you bought out of the bag because you first go to check the 'Downs :rolleyes: Well, it was there roughly for a little bit less than an hour...

It's funny that this film depicts a trip to the city where I live (yes, I googled that) but to be honest I don't quite see the resemblance. Thanks for telling me I look like a film star though! :) |
When you can't go onlne(Or more of shouldn't) All ypu can think about is who's getting lynched in WW
|
When you write an epic(ish) poem about what's going on in WW during PreCalc...:rolleyes:
|
You'll share said poem yes?
|
If I ever finish...it's kind of dependent of the outcome of McCaber's game, plus it's not very good. *blushes*
|
When you read a well written news article online and catch yourself looking for a rep button.
Also, when you drive past a sign which says 'Lindale Road' and immediately make the Downs connexion. |
You start looking for ways to use everyone you know on the downs as characters in an epic story that I will probably never write.
|
When you find Nienna's siggie quote in Spanish class and immediately recognize it, even though it's in Spanish, and start hyperventilating. ;)
