You know you're REALLY a Who fan when...

[salamander@MADNET.COM]

I thought it was about time I posted another list of warning signs. :)

You know you're REALLY a Who fan when...

...you can no longer say actual years in number form, you instead say
things like, "Ah yes, I was born the year 'Face Dances' came out" or "We
got married the same year 'Who's Next' came out, didn't we honey?"

...anyone who wants to borrow money from you starts out by refering to
you as "World's Greatest Who Fan" (just to sweeten you up).

...you love heating water in teakettles, because the whistling reminds
you of "Quadrophenia".

...you get excited whenever anything happens at exactly 5:15.

...you paint bull's eyes on your china.

...you dream about the Who (bonus points for having nightmares about
Kenney Jones).

...you name your children or pets after Who members or the names of Who
songs. "And this is my daughter, Rael." (special thanks to Miss Pamela)

...you go to the electronics store and hear "Eminence Front" playing on
one of the stereos that's for sale, so you go around the whole store and
tune EVERY stereo to that same station.

...there's a Who song on your answering machine message.

...a friend tells you that he's originally from Armenia, and you have to
restrain yourself from asking him what it's like to live in the sky like
that (bonus points if you wonder why he pronounces it "Ar-mee-nee-a"
instead of "Arm-in-ee-a").

...you sincerely believe that "My Generation" should be the national
anthem (bonus points if your persuasive essay for English class is on
this subject).

...instead of framed pictures of your family on your desk, you have
framed pictures of the Who.

...you snicker whenever you meet anyone named Mary Anne.

...you cover the labels on your deodorant with ones that say "Odorono".

...you went to see "Jerry Maguire" just because "Magic Bus" and "Gettin'
In Tune" were in the soundtrack.

...you refuse to date non-Who fans. "It just wouldn't work out."

...friends and co-workers make bets as to how many Who shirts you really
own.

...you try to convince other Who fans that Pete wasn't wearing any
underwear at the Isle of Wight music festival. "I'm not making this up!
You can see right through that white boiler suit! Just LOOK!"

...your conversation is peppered with phrases like, "You better you
bet!", "Good morning, campers!" and, "Well you know, life is like a
Who album...'It's Hard'".

...you sit around writing "You know you're REALLY a Who fan when..."
lists. Just like this one.
