Spike Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 You know you're a fan when: --- Your husband says "Do you need Pert?" and you start to correct him and say "It's PEART!!" - only to realize he's clipping a coupon for SHAMPOO!! --- You see one of those oval, b/w, abbreviation stickers (like OBX for Outer Banks) that says NEP, and you think Neil Ellwood Peart. Then you see the logo under the NEP, and realize it's for New England Patriots!! --- You're watching Jeopardy! and the clue is "Last name of golfer Rocco, or to...." and you don't even have to hear the rest of the clue because you know that Rocco MEDIATE is a good friend of Alex Lifeson!! All 3 of these things have happened to me in the last 4 days!!!! My husband says I should put more money towards counseling instead of saving for a 2009 tour!!!

doublereeder Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 When you're French teacher asks to to turn to page "R30", and you instantly start laughing.

TuBIGrob Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 When you have a shrimp caught between your teeth and start laughing out loud because no one else will get it. That makes it that much harder to stop laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 You know the headphone review you're reading on Amazon.com was written by a Rush fan when said reviewer's Amazon name is "Dirk Lerxst." And what's more, you know you can take their authority on whether or not the bass response of said headphones is adequate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 You know you're a Rush fan when you find yourself pondering the questions of how the white-haired uncle has managed to keep his country place a secret for 50 years, and whether anyone has ever wondered where the kid goes every Sunday.

AnalogKid15 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 you know you're a fan when: You always switch between air bassing and air drumming during YYZ You purposefully play 2112 or Fountain of Lamneth when you hear someone complain about Rush's songs being too long Are not mad that Rush is not in the hall of fame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dom_2112 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 You know you're a rush fan when... You buy pro mark sticks unaware whether they're good or bad but just cause they have Neils signiture on. You buy a mug with rush on, but never drink out of it (perfection) You wear you're rush t shirts so much, you're forced to throw them away cause it faintly says "212" now... You get more butterflies at a rush concert than the three kings themselves You go mental when you see anything related to rush in anyway on a film or tv You know they're the kings when you realise you're second favourite band (Manics) interviewed Rush in Classic Rock becuase they idolise them!
