Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

You know you're a Barrow Downs junkie when you come across your BD screen name in a discussion of the book you originally borrowed it from and it takes you a split second to remind yourself that this isn't the Downs and no one's talking about you.

It's ok. *comforts* We all do it. Or at least I do.

If someone mentions Eönwë on the BDs, it always takes a second to realise that they're not talking about me.

Well, of course they're talking about you. Why wouldn't they be?

You know that you're addicted to the Barrow-Downs when you see a sign every day when you go to school that you always read as "Better Quality Bacon" when, to the untrained eye, it says "Better Quality Service".

Loslote's Better Quality Bacon would have Better Quality Service, too, if its owner/manager/server weren't in jail so often.

Yeah, I've noticed that. Hopefully they let said owner/manager/server out of jail long enough to actually get that prestigious title.

Oh, it doesn't matter if they do or not, I'm about two spoonfuls of dirt away from freedom. There's a reason why I always ask for cell # 47.

Of course there is.

No, no they can't.

When a friend tells you she's studying "A & P" and she hopes she does well on the test tomorrow and you say "Why do you have a test on alien and phantom?"

There's a major road here called Barry Downe. I don't think I have to explain what I always misread it as.
