You know you're addicted to the Barrow-Downs when you are trying to explain the Downer to your grandparents and you are trying to explain it in a way that will not make it sound like a lie. (Don't kill me)
Or when the only newspaper you read is the Downer, and you proudly proclaim that fact to everyone!
Or when you have almost (unintentionally) have gotten your grandma to come on the Barrow-Downs..
