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

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-25-2008, 03:35 PM

Well, the Downer has not lost any credibility because of me anyway. And besides, it's not a lie... it's just the news.

You (at least think) you are addicted to the Barrow-Downs when you join the Barrow-Downs group on Facebook because you cannot get enough. And if that wasn't enough, you make friends with your fellow BDers and talk to them!!

EDIT: Or when you are sitting in the bathroom and on the sink there is a pile of random stuffs, you have to look because you think you just saw Alien! And then you look and it turns out to be your deoderent ... and I thought I had a reason to be frightened!

You know you're addicted to the Barrow-Downs when you start eating all of your meals at the computer and eat chicken noodle soup with chopsticks...

when you are ridiculously happy to get Birthday cards from some of your fellow dead

When you are reading the ingredient list for some jelly beans and you read one of the ingredients off as Thinlomien

... I found that it got me a very strange look.

I had to think of Esty when my grandparents were picking up their RV...
We were riding back to their house and I saw this billboard that just cracked me up... It said "Save the squirrels!" It was meant to be an ad for a car repair shop, but for any unsuspecting Barrow-Downer, it means a good laugh...

When you read one of your friend's screennames in messenger as "stop lynching *****[someone's name]" but it actually says "stop lying".
I hope this isn't a bad omen

When I think about Rune when I see Crunchy Müsli, but read Groucho Müsli instead. To be honest I don't even have the slightiest idea who Groucho Marx was, but well...

To the last bit: Wow.

I was sort of ill the other day and decided to watch some kids movies to cheer me up. I decided on one about a trouble-causing little penguin. "I bet Lommie would get a kick out of this!"

Thank you.
You know you are obsessed with the Barrow-Downs when you have automatic updates that go directly to your e-mail and a whole folder in your e-mail dedicated to the Barrow-Downs...

Even worse, when you have to make a separate email address to direct your normal email away from the BD flood of updates.

... Or, when you decide to do some 'quick account cleaning' and end up sitting there for 30 minutes trying to decide which thread subscriptions you can do with or without.

I'm always afraid I'll forget something from way back, but I know I'll eventually spend two hours searching through the whole thread for something like four words. Just can't seem to copy, paste and archive for my own good. I'm slowly working it into a habit.

Hehe, I do that too. I think "Will I need this later?" and ponder whether or not to keep it, but then I think that I will be able to find it later. But of course, I spend all day once to find a single post that consisted of two comic strip characters...

I might want to get a "Barrow-Downs" e-mail, my other one wouldn't get so crowded...

I guess I am just not addicted then since I decided not to get e-mail notifications a long time ago. . .

*is reminded about the great golden horde thread*
