Thanks TH. Ah hell I knew they were hits... 86. If before you check the opening page you try to guess who's picture is posted. 87. If when you open the bbs you look for your name at the bottom of the page. 88. IF EVERY TIME YOU HEAR THE YAO MING SONG YOU'VE GOT TO TELL WHOMEVER IS LISTENING, "HEY THE GUY THAT WROTE THAT IS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, HELL WE SPEAK EVERYDAY " 89. If this thing gets past 100...
91. You go to the chat room on game nite just so you can try to win the headline contest. 92. You can identify members as having relationship problems, no job, or by their political affiliation.
When I was in Vegas, my brother in law and I were playing roulette. I put a chip down on #11. The little ball landed in 11...my brother in law and I looked at each other and sang out "Yao Ming Yao Ming Yao Ming Yao Ming..."
94. When you have multiple browsers open so you can monitor more than one thread at a time. 95. If you have ever used the feature to be emailed any time a post is made in a particular thread 96. (I was not in the spelling thread but...) If you pre-type everything in Word so you can use the spell check in an effort to win the CC.net spelling championship 97. You keep hitting refresh to see just how many reasons there are now in the "How do you know if you're hooked on CC.net" thread 98. You lay in bed at night wondering how to get back at some one on CC.net that just pissed you off, you come up with a way to do so, and get out of bed and run to the computer. 99. (after 97) Upon waking up the next morning, you check the thread to see if it worked 100. You type for 10 minutes to see if indeed you can amaze AB by getting this thing up to 100 101. Your wife accuses you of having an online relationship and you show her its just CC.net, and you feel vindicated
Damn I thought I was the only one. LOL! 103. If someone pisses you off and you click their profile or website information in order to initiate some type of investigation.
104. Your sitting in computer class ingnoring the teachers lecture (right now) and putting off doing your assignments to read and post on the BBS.
105. Your sitting in class ingnoring the students (right now) and putting off grading assignments to read and post on the BBS.
106) If you're ever out in public and run across someone with Rockets gear on and you wonder, "Hmmm, I wonder if s/he posts on cc.net..." 107) If you're at a Rockets game and you see someone familiar, and come up to him and say, "Hey, you're Vengeance aren't you!?"
Better yet you are so busy reading and posting on the BBS you don't even realize you have a class in your room. 108) You subject your class to listening to the Yao Ming song and when they complain after the 20th time you say "I know the guy that wrote it" just to shut them up.
109) You quote the real Rimbaud or Achebe and try to avoid answering your wife/SOs question about "since when you did you became interested in them." 110) Your wife/SO gets confused why you are re-reading your college books that are collecting dust at the top of your bookshelf, and you stammer out some "I don't know; I like reading them sometimes" cover-up excuse that doesn't seem to work. 111) You quote some random fact around friends at a coffee shop, and they say, "How'd you know that?" and you say, "oh, I like reading about history" and your wife/SO looks at you in disbelief, knowing you just don't want to admit that a cc.net thread taught you that. 112) You really want to tell your wife/SO about some very strange news article (complete with too many jokes for one person's wit), but you know she'll just say, "Did you read that at cc.net?" so you just giggle at the table instead.
113) If you bust out singing the chorus of the Yao Ming song at mindnight on New Years Eve, in the middle of Times Square.
115. If you start yelling "catturnover" and "Steve Fancy" at a Rockets game. 116. If you start reciting the "Air Bull" song by your TV or at a game. 117. You would rather play CC. net sim leagues than ever venture out of your house or apartment 118. You put off important things(like schoolwork etc) to play in the sim leagues. 119. You tell a friend I know a doctor. They say oh really. Who? You say the Dr. of Dunk. They say, never heard of that doctor before, does he take walk-ins.
