Oddly enough I have seen the name of a Downer on a street sign. There is a Lindale Road about a twenty-five minute drive from my house.

There's an Esty Street in Ithaca, NY. It's not nearly as nice and welcoming as the real Esty, though.

You know you're addicted to the Barrow-Downs when you are sitting in your maths class and the problem on the board is about a plane travelling to Barrow, and you first read it as the Barrow-Downs. I seriously must have been having hallucinations!

Today I was driving home and the car infront of me, their license plate started with BEJF, but at first I thought it said BEEF and I got way too excited. Too much P&A I suppose, haha.

You can never read too much Phantom and Alien.

You might be addicted to the Barrow-Downs if you have at least two of your friends (who are not Downers) with more to come that read the Phantom and Alien religiously.

So I was prepping a lesson for youth group and was typing Boaz. Typed Boro instead.

(Then, after texting Boro about this, he convinced me to keep it on the page. So I was teaching and was like "What the heck?!")

Today in my Early Medieval History class my teacher was talking about Roland (some Medieval guy with a horn) and she said that anyone who is a Lord of the Rings fan (this sparked my interest and I jumped out of my boredum trance) should read the story about Roland because it would make Boromir's character "make more sense". I of course immediately thought of Boro88 and for a second was confused as to how my prof knew him, and then remembered the actual purpose of this website besides making cool friends, and made the whole connection to the horn and such....

Boromir88 · 02-12-2010, 02:55 PM

Heh, yay sally! You kept it. I guess for wanting to convince you, this would be a sign of my own addiction.

I can take this in so many directions, but I'll just say thanks for making me laugh. You just made my day.

When I see the beer Stella Artois I think of Shasta, which is odd, since Shasta is lovely and Stella is rubbish.

I think that addiction might come in the form of typing "facebook.com" in the URL and start to type "forum.barrowdowns.com" It doesn't matter that I can't get on the Downs on my home computer, it still is a habit.

Sign you're addicted to the Barrowdowns:

When you sit on a bus for 18 hours to go to a strange city in a strange country simply to meet people from the Downs.

When you wish you could have done that.

We still love you! <3

And yes Wilwa I agree....but it was well worth the 18 hours!!

By the way, I will hopefully be posting part three of my take on Bostonmoot at some point...I've been way too busy to do anything and just started writing it last night before I got swept away on yet another adventure.

I was typing on facebook just now and wanted to know why the

wouldn't work. *headdesks*
