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

I am agnostic/atheist. But my mother is not. I showed her the lyrics to Faithless and Freewill, and she said that they were brilliant. She said she feels comfortable with a God, but she thinks it's cool that an atheist can be just as loving or hopeful as a religious person.

When you plan a trip to London/Paris for your honeymoon and on the flight back...you find out that you'll be making a stop at the Toronto Pearson Airport...also known as YYZ. You chuckle a bit at this and your fiance asks "What?" and you just simply say "Nothing..." laugh.gif

you instantly start screaming like a little girl when rush walks out on stage

My dad looked at me funny when I did this at the ACC, thankfully, the two guys 3 seats down were doing the same.

 

You know you're a Rush fan when you bring up Rush as an example of telent whenever someone brings up Justin Bieber.

Thankfully, I am a fairly young female, so I can do that and no one will look at me funny.

Except for the man standing next to me.

Who is my father.

(But he does that all the time just to annoy me.)

 

You know you're a Rush fan (and everyone knows it, too) when you're watching TV and your folks make a point to point out whenever someone says the word "rush".

When a friend posts something about flights from JAX to TOR (meaning the Jacksonville and Toronto airports) and you quickly recognize that the airport code for Toronto is not TOR, it is YYZ. And you have not even been to Toronto yet!

 

When you name your iPod "Geddy Lee".

When you're at a Rush show and you see Neil smile on the big screen, and promptly scream "OH MY GOD! THE PROFESSOR SMILED! HOLY SH*T!!!"

Strangely, this was not me, but my father. Love you, dad. laugh.gif

 

When you join a thread of people talking about "the end of the world" in 2012, and you cant help but tell them that it's impossible, because of the story of what is to happen in 2112.

When you get excited to go to a Marathon gas station.

 

When you instantly think of the 'Oracle' section of '2112' whenever Oracle Software is mentioned (seriously, google it!).

You know you're a Rush fan when...

...you get a smart phone and the VERY FIRST things you do are:

 

- Put all the Rush-related pictures on your computer onto your phone

- Set a photo of Neil as your background

- Upload a few "must-have" Rush tunes into your phone's MP3 player

- Download an Adobe Reader app and stick your ebook of Ghost Rider in it

- Change your ringtone to "Force Ten" because you know for a fact no one else will have that ringtone

 

(I love my new phone so much.)

You know you're a Rush fan when...

1. You've been stared at in stores for singing Rush songs too loud.

2. You're friends come over, you insist on playing Rush the whole time whether they like it or not.

3. You've actually gone on a Witch Hunt

4. You have memorized The Boys In Brazil documentary word by word.

5. You can answer any question you're asked with a Rush lyric/quote.

6. You have your very own Rush theme song.

7. You've given people you know their own Rush theme songs.

8. You accidently call someone Geddy, Alex, or Neil.

9.

I just did this yesterday:

It's raining/thundering/lightning and when lightning strikes you yell, "DID YOU SEE THAT 'CHAIN LIGHTNING?!'

5. You can answer any question you're asked with a Rush lyric/quote. There is so much philosophy in Rush, how can you not!

 

You know you're a Rush fan when...

 

You create a dragon based on the 30th Anniversary t-shirt and take him to open stages

Nice dragon!

 

Yes, I notice lately that no matter the situation or context, I can think of an appropriate Rush lyric.

You know you're a Rush fan when...

...At a high school basketball game, you start yelling "SO CLOSE! SO CLOSE!" when the score is 22 - 13.

(It really was close. ;^; I was disappointed.)

You know you're a Rush fan when you get a score of 21-12, with your Augusta State Jaguars leading the game, AND you get a picture of it.

Also, we won the game and advanced to the Division II Elite Eight for the third year in a row.

You know you're a Rush fan when your post doesn't relate to the topic.

 

BTW, I know I'm a Rush hipster when I say "they were better with Jeff Jones"

Also, Tj, you should have said "when your name". Since you didn't use the correct expression, your post and argument are both invalid.
