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

[Rikae]

Just south of the middle of Lake Ontario.

And for me:
...when your understanding of European geography is dramatically improved because of your interest in downers' locations. Not only wasn't I paying much attention in 4th grade "social studies", but the map looked very different then!
(perhaps this belongs in "Thanks Downers"?)

Now, you know, I had to find Lake Ontario this time. Funny, I could say my knowledge of US geography has improved lately because of BD, but it's still mostly limited to "Texas and Florida are in south, California in west, Alaska in north-west and New York in the east".

Also, this BD-addiction is ruining my French studies: the French word for comics is BD (short for bande dessinée) and you can guess what kept springing to my mind when we were reading a chapter about Asterix and comics in general.... *sigh*

Hey, I can help you out with that one. All that above too, and Nebraska's right in the middle....of nowhere....


I'm in a WW game, I'm dead, and I STILL am constantly checking the thread.

All you need to know is that South= good & North= bad!

You know, its statements like that that start wars.

Being addicted to the Downs often manifests itself in scary ways... Especially when several of your notebooks for University are full of sketches of possible cartoon versions of Downers for The Phantom and Alien.

So your one of them, eh?

I was at work today (I work the phones at a....well, let's just say it's generalized customer service because it's difficult to explain) and I spoke to a gentleman named Mr. McCabe. I just couldn't get his name out; kept trying to call him "Mister McCobbler." I almost had to hang up on the poor guy because I was laughing so hard.

The North. And thank God they did, too. We would have likely been Brittish again if they hadn't.

You know you're addicted to the Barrow Downs when you read this thread and nod at almost every post posted.

Fowlren, you totally just made me giggle. Half because I'd had the same thought about the war, and half because I can scroll through the thread and pretty much be "That's me!" to almost any post. Okay, 3/4 about the war. *envisions herself and her friends sitting around, drinking little cups of tea and watching Andy Griffith* Why lie about it?

I just nodded in agreement at that post without even thinking about my actions.

I had a similar feeling when listening to the song "Temptation Waits" by Garbage where the lyrics start with "I'll tell you something, I am a wolf but I like to wear sheep's clothing"
