briremo Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 You know you have a problem when... You try to work RUSH lyrics and references into your everyday conversations with strangers to see if they "are in". Your ring tone is the intro to xanadu you have to switch windows every time your wife walks into the room so she won't see you're on TRF "AGAIN!" you give a free CD to all your son's friends when they come to the house, especially the ones who are musicians. you never go to the Music of the Spheres thread on TRF because lately, you just haven't been listening to anything BUT RUSH.

rushgoober Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Don't hang out with fellow Rush fans unless you trust them not to steal your ATM card, cause you KNOW they'll be able to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgbam42 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 You know you have a problem when... Your friend asks for a few Rush songs and you give them a 2 disc collection of your favorite songs You are listening to Rush in the car and you yell to a friend outside "RUSH RULES" Your friend texts you and asks what you are doing and you say "the usual" and they say "listening to Rush and playing a game" All three are what I have done.

Sign Of Eth Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm a teacher, and I'll slip in a Rush reference every so often with my fifth-graders. No one's caught it yet, but I'm sure one day someone will! Instant extra credit! I use TMMB as my ringtone. I made one of the guitar intro. It's subtle, but it still rocks.

drgrendel Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 My college students expect plenty of Rush and Iron Maiden references - they always ask about my concert adventures. Most of them have no clue, but they love the fact that I am not "stuffy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this bit, it's exactly what i do too , always dropping rush lyrics and references into everyday conversations on any topics applicable with people to see if they pick up on any of it, unfortunately most of the time they don't.
