GeddysMullet Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 QUOTE (Paragon @ Aug 20 2007, 08:15 PM) QUOTE (GeddysMullet @ Aug 19 2007, 11:51 AM) You know you're a Rush fan when every time the announcer in the Toyota ad mentions that the car has power windows, you think how it would be nice if cars really did come with Rush albums. Mine did! The guy who was detailing it before they put it on the showroom floor inadvertently left his copy of "Roll the Bones" in the CD player. Imagine my joy the first time I took it out for a test drive...I turn on the stereo and "Bravado" floods the interior. We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost. I was so sold. New criterion: You know you're a Rush fan when the deciding factor in your purchase of an expensive car is the fact that it played the right music when you test drove it. That is awesome. You win!

MakeHaste Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 You know you're a Rush fan when someone says "Why does this happen?", you have to say "Because it happens. Roll the bones." (Based on a true story) Oh, and here's another one based on a true story: You know you're a Rush fan when every time you go on Space Mountain, you imagine that you're on the "Rocinante".

GeddysMullet Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 You know you're a Rush fan when you find yourself trying to substitute the word "hurry" (i.e., "There's no hurry," "I'm in a hurry," etc) to avoid having your friends take the piss.

Grapes_under_pressure Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 you knwo you're a rush fan when: 1. i nthe middle of the night, your mum calls up to you <and some how you manage to hear this when normally you do not hear anything at night> and tells you that they are playing a rush song on her weird internet game thing. you rush! downstairs and even though it's tom sawyer you're happy with it. 2. whilst in school, if you happen to be watching school of rock in music, when any of the rush references are made you jump up and cheer whilst everyone thinks ur a complete nutter and your friends edge away. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the only one in the class who new anyone besides Led Zeppelin... Kinda sad... when jack black gives the drummer kid 2112 and says neil peart is the greatest drummer ever, i jumped out of my seat and then after i wondered why he gave the kid 2112.. i love the album but i dunno, not the best drumming (personally, but ihave no idea technically so :/) and then on the chalk board he had catrgories of music, this time i was looking for rush- there it was under 'prog rock' (that time i just smiled) HOWEVER i was dissapointed when the kid watched videos of drummers that neil wasnt there. darn oit.

NEIL AGREED TO A MOVIE OF HIS BOOK?????" R-B True story ... That and when you think that the song should be in the movie, and thats the only reason you go! You know your a Rush fan when you go and see movies because you think that a Rush song might be in them... Ghost Rider, Cinderella Man, ect..
