Evidence. This pic kinda sucks, though. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5208/5205452631_eb451a2d75.jpg 2112 pokewalker by teababe27, on Flickr

Eeehhh yeah, pic is very blurry and low contrast. But there's definitely a "2112" there!

I went into Photoshop and now I can certainly see it. |D

...THAT IS SO COOL. /nerd

You definitely know you're a Rush fan when every single instance of the word rush automatically brings the band up to mind...

 

I have this happen at least twice a day.

I was watching football today and every time I heard or saw the word "rush" (as in, "rushing yards" or whatnot, or "rushed for..") I thought of the band.

And even during Keith Urban's concert (Cowboys vs. Saints game) for a time he had fire as his background.. and all I could think about was "Mission" (from Hold Your Fire) and "Caravan"! Same thing happened as my dad was lighting the fireplace. I yelled at him to "hold your fire". He just smiled and shook his head.

 

And I think I'm corrupting my mother. I caught her humming "Subdivisions" today. I am officially taking over the household. |D

When you check the Coast to Coast AM website for a recap on the previous night's show, the first thing you check is whether they played any Rush bumper music.

When you are highly disappointed that your knife is magnetic, and your fork...is also magnetic.

 

When your text-message ringtone is the synth-riff from Tom Sawyer, and it plays so many times a day that you start imagining it going off.

 

When you stay home "sick" from school just so you can read the last 40 pages of Ghost Rider in peace.

[IChoseFreeWill]

You see the U-Haul van with the Inuktituk from Nunavut and you point and squeal "Test for Echo!" in delight.

 

You read something about electromagnetic waves, and when you get to radio waves, you start singing "Invisible airwaves crackle with life".

You know you're a Rush fan when you're sitting quietly for the other band's performance (two bands here) during a concert.. and they start playing a song... and the only thing you can think of is

MYSTIC RHYTHMS.

And you can barely contain your squeal.

[ColdFireYYZ]

Every time you go to a concert, you compare it to the Rush show you saw.

When you refer to the little accident you had last night as: "Emerald and the Basement Steps" (...square for battle, let the fray begin! ....Basement Steps won of course.... )

You know you're a Rush fan when you scour the ACT Math section, desperately looking for "2112"... and silently whine for the next sixty minutes, wishing it would've been there.

[Lamelight]

You do something with fire and you automatically think the opening lines of Mission

You know you're a fan when everytime someone says the word "rush", you automatically think of the band ... I know I do. I find myself trying to fight off a knowing yet silly grin on my face...

[Lamelight]

You know you're a Rush fan when your schoolbook has a list of famous canadians but it's missing Rush (how can be?), so you just have to add there "Rush - The best band ever"

Very familiar feeling! That's me every time someone says anything that can be related to Rush

My male parental unit and I had a moment last night that I just remembered. |D

I saw spotlight-things (still not sure what they were) shooting into the sky as we walked out of the theatre (ushered for a musical). I said something like, "MAYBE IT'S ALIENS" and he immediately broke out into "We've got Mars on the horizon -- says the National Midnight Star," and I cut in with "It's true!"

 

Thus sparked a conversation about how Rush didn't play anything from GUP at the concert, something about "fire" (sparked my dad attempting to sing "Mission"'s opening) and complaining about how they need to play something other than "Time Stand Still" from HYF at concerts.

 

All after spending three hours in A Christmas Carol.

You are vacationing in Hawai'i and still have to hear some Rush every day!

I checked that too. Unfortunately both the knife and fork were also magnetic.

Whenever I go to the beach, I think of these lyrics in "Presto":

 

I had a dream of the open water

I was swimming away out to sea

So deep I could never touch bottom

What a fool I used to be

Me, too. I was thinking of those when I went to the beach last summer! And also, probably because I wanted so much for time to stand still, I was stuck on these lyrics from said song:

 

If I could slow it all down

Like some captain,

Whose ship runs aground-

I can wait until the tide comes around

Many Rushians do.   Whoa, it's like the Rush guys know.   They are geniuses.   And your signature is incredibly adorable. I'm a cat lover.

When you do not disagree with practically any of their lyrics...even though you are NOT an atheist by any stretch of the imagination.

You know you're a fan when you know their birthdays before your own friends & families. (I know it's been put in before, but it's one I identify with...)
