You know you're addicted to the hip when...

-When you're actually into John Cage after hearing "Tiger the Lion".

-When you check the IMDB to see if there really was a movie called "The Dark Canuck" and if so, who was in it.

-When nobody understands your laughter upon seeing the board game Don't Wake Daddy.

-When for "Poetry-Reading Day" in your college English class, you bring a guitar and play Nautical Disaster.

-When I reel, my Irish in, when I sleep on a train- whoops, mind was wandering there.

-When your girlfriend asks you what you want to do that night and you say that first thing we'll climb a tree, then maybe then we'll talk, or sit silently and listen our thoughts....
-You listened to Daredevil on top of the Eiffel Tower and wondered why you didn't jump too....
-When you almost crashed you car when you heard the opening riff of little bones on the radio
-When you saw a drunk guy called Gus at BK and immediately decided to write a song called Gus the Alcoholic from Burger King
-When, upon reading King Lear, all you can think of when his favourite daughter is in a scene, is that it takes all your power just to prove that you don't care
-When you see a kid wearing a T-shirt listing the years the Leafs won the cup, and even though you don't know him you explain the legend of Bill Barilko
-When you see one of your English students explaining the legend of Bill Barilko to a lad wearing a Leafs T-shirt and as you walk by you tell them you stole this from a hockey card...

When you're in Safeway with your wife and daughter, and in the coffee isle you spot some Nabob "Full City Dark", and you almost shit your pants and insist on buying it even though you're already stocked up with plenty of coffee at home.

Happened a few weeks ago.

I forgot about this one from the summer.

You go to an airshow where they start to talk about World War 2 and the "Fifty Mission Cap" comes up and you can hear Gord singing in your head "I worked it in to look like that"

something about full city dark coffee juxtaposed with shitting your pants that just doesn't sit right with me here.

although, I agree that one would, in that case, be forced to buy the coffee.

When you work at a greenhouse, outside, and have one earphone in while your boss is talking to you and begin Gording out in the middle of the conversation.

When you can't sleep so you get up and start to clean out your harddrive and you take all the pics and screenshots and crap from the hip website you once ran and you delete ALL OF it and you were shocked to see how much of it you had and you're really embarrassed and ashamed of yourself :oops:

Sorry if I freaked anyone out, specially the band! :oops: :oops: :oops:

It actually took up 1% of my harddrive! I now only have my personal pics, boots and videos.

Wow, I was WAY to much into them.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ran from me if I meet them again! :lol:

GAWD! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Your computer at work has 7 hours of hip. Just enough to make it through the day.
