R30 is technically more of a DVD than a CD (unless you purchased the deluxe set like you and me), though it's debatable as it is for sale on iTunes. But then you'd have to go listing DVDs as well, though those are not in the banner.   And you forgot Archives (though it's not in the banner either).

2. You get excited over soup.

You always have soup before sound checks. That's really important. And sometimes you have soup after soup, so you have two soups. Yeah.

sooouuuuuuppppp....

I've got one!

You know you're a true Rush fan when you and your other Rush fan friend(s) go through the day throwing random Rush lyrics at each other and challenging them to figure out what song they're from, no matter how bizarre they are! I do this every day! Yeah...

1. You buy movies just because they have a Rush song in them.

Has anyone bought the movie Small Soldiers for the snippet of Tom Sawyer?

You not only make a necklace out of dice and skull beads, you wear it.

 

Bonus points if you're female

 

Double bonus points if you're thrilled because the whole thing worked out in a three-on-three pattern .

 

Edit: Triple bonus points if the skull and dice beads really are made of bone...

The ones that aren't want to kill me because I quote songs all day long... Maybe I should stop that. But oh well...

[YYZ Working Man]

you overdub your face behind a NP drum set and tell people that have never heard of rush you own these drums

 

you play witch hunt backwards in hopes to decode a secret message out of the chanting part

 

You get in the car and say "Its my turn to drive"

 

You ask people if they have an uncle who has a country place which noone knows about

You know you're a Rush fan when: 1. You have to listen to them more and more and go out and get all their albums and DVD's. 2. You want to listen to the bands and musicians who have influenced them. 3. You buy any magazine that has them mentioned in it, however so small. 4. You become interested in checking out books by Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos and others. 5. You watch The Twilight Zone. 6. You take an interest in Buddy Rich and Big Band Music! 11. You go to Canada to see Lakeside Park, Massey Hall, the Laurentian Mountains and Le Studio. 13. You line-up for tickets at least 12 hours before Rush tickets go on sale. 14. After buying a new Rush album, you go home and immediately and listen to it with headphones on while reading the lyrics. 15. You keep all the Rush t-shirts, tour programs and ticket stubs no matter how old they are. 16. You buy all solo albums and side projects by Alex, Geddy and Neil. 17. You are inspired to learn to play guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, or sing even if you never previously have in your life. 18. You can sing to and know the lyrics to every Rush song. 19. You can air drum any of Neil's drum fills.

You have described me in every one of these! I guess I am a real Rush fan after all

[treeduck]

You find yourself in a dark, gloomy church and realise you're dressed up like Geddy Lee, round shades, false nose, etc and you look around and so are the 50 other people in the room and as they turn to you they all begin to chant "ALL THE SAME WE TAKE ARE CHANCES, LAUGHED AT BY TIME!!! TRICKED BY CIRCUMSTANCES!!" As they continue, you look up on the wall at a sign that says "The Church of Weinrib" above a greek-style statue of Geddy Lee...and you realise you've been a member of "the order" for 35 years...

You know you're a Rush fan when you record snippets of songs as WAV files and use them as the default sounds on your computer.

 

(When I minimize windows, Geddy sings, "Put him down as arrogant" and when I bring the window back up, he sings "Growing up," and then I go into a Subdivisions spiel. I love my recorder...)

[priest_of_syrinx]

When you have a Test For Echo desktop theme from 2112.net. I'm guilty.

I've done that. Everytime I am finished downloading stuff from a website or something like that it plays the ending solo of Under The Shadow.
