You might be spending too much time on the FSM forum if...

[Rainswept]

1. You've memorized the URL for the "Last Post" thread, because "it's mine damn it"

2. Bobby calls you up for advice on what to put on the site.

3. Your post count has as many digits as your zip code.

4. You remind people of things they posted over a year ago.

5. You mourn and/or celebrate the loss of people who haven't posted in a year or more.

6. You turned 30 on November 8, 2005, but that wasn't what made you feel old that day.

7. You know when you post something who's going to respond to it, and what their point of view will be.

8. You create a thread entitled "You might be spending too much time on the FSM forum if..."


Feel free to add more.

9. Whenever you wake up in the middle of the night you think, " I could get up and see who is on the FSM forum".

10. When you can't get on the sight for any reason you wonder what you are missing.

[ken worley]

You see someone in RL and think, "I bet that's about what (insert forummember's name here) loks like."


You see dead animal bones on the side of the road, and wonder if they're worth mailing.


You can now easily understand everything Dan da Haole Guy says.


You notice, and make threads about it, when regular members go missing.


You have invented at least ten bastardizations of WOE's username.(My favorite: Warbloated Squalorpants)


You will kill Rowan Redbeard on sight for his inane repetition of the post notification reminder in "spam"


You can now two-finger-type faster than most professional secretaries due to heated debates in "serious" threads.


You have racked up at least 200 zankou-slams.(it is fun, isn't it?)



You catch yourself trying to insert BbCode into your emails


They have to invent new shapes of pasta to change your "rank".

All apply to me.

Your name is Zankou

Your name is Zankou 2.0


that is all

[Rainswept]

See, my idea was that we number the reasons, then people can just say which numbers apply to them, but noooooo. Ken wants to just forgo the numbering, he's too cool

[ken worley]

And at what o'clock would you prefer I make my next bowel movement, sir?






[/sarcasm drip 35 ml./hr. IV]

[Rainswept]

It puts the lotion in the basket!

[ken worley]

If you "tuck" and begin gyrating, I swear to god I'll shoot you immediately.

[Rainswept]

Well that gives a scary new meaning to the movie title "Tuck Everlasting" doesn't it? *shudder*

[farfalla]

Would Rainswept and ken please get a sleezy hotel room.

11. (yeah, a hopeless follower-of-rules) you have special names for all the emoticons (& want Fisher-Price to make "Emoticon-babies" so you can collect 'em all and...well...)

[St John the Blasphemist]

12 (sorta). You go to the Last Post or Word Association Game threads hoping to post something witty and yours is still the last post.

[Rainswept]

13. (ish) You are annoyed every day that the "Last Post" thread isn't in the "Games" section, where it belongs.

14. (like) You rarely read anything in the "Miscellaneous Discussion" section, because you assume any new posts there are in the misplaced "Last Post" thread.
