The Top 10 Symptoms of Addiction to the GL

[Rino]

Welcome back, Kd!

325. You welcome back Glers you never got to know, denying any addiction and go into OT just one last time, but they just keep pulling you back in.

(Thanks for the welcome back, mith and DP)

[Jedo the Jedi]

326. You spend the majority of your time on the GL even though all of your family is visiting for the hlidays and you haven't seen them in a long time.

327. You come up with a symptom like 326 just to resurrect the thread and be reprimanded by others for acting n00bish.

[Ferris]

328. You would like to know the story behind Reason 172.

[Dragon Phoenix]

It was a chat thing.....

Good to see you post again, Ferris!

[Courk]

329. You remember "Pika swore in chat!"

330. You re-read the ENTIRE thread.

[Mr Nigma]

331: You post from a government system while at work even though you run the risk of getting in trouble if caught.

[zorT Kitty]

332. You see post 330. Since you can't be outdone, you reread the entire thread twice.

[Jedo the Jedi]

333. You post just to claim the three 3s.
334.

[The Ktulu]

335. Even if you manage to be cured of the addiction characterized by countless symptoms, you, falling off the wagon again, are inevitably lured back to your old state.
336. You look forward to a downward spiral.

[Jedo the Jedi]

337. You have all of the symptoms.

[The Ktulu]

338. Except for the one above, and your VSP skills enables you to know how to do it.

[NeocortX]

339. You realise that #280 doesn't apply anymore.

[NeocortX]

340. You've spent over an hour of your life reading a Top "maybe-a-liiittle-more-than-10",

340.5 when you know, full well, you have other, more important, things to do (including meeting tight deadlines).

Edit: (see #277)

[NeocortX]

341. Your GL "social life" is more active than your RL "social life" (see #293).

[NeocortX]

342. You spend even more of your precious little time, reading through Archived Threads


343. even though you weren't a part of any of 'em.

[wordcross]

344) You remember when all of these recent symptoms were posted the first time around...

[NeocortX]

345. You've posted in a Top 10, only to find out you've (somewhat) repeated what others have said.

346. You've copied down every single one of your posts into a huge Word document, just in case (heaven forbid) the site breaks down.

347. You hope that one day, your 100-page document will sell as a novel.

[NeocortX]

349. Everything you look at registers in your mind as:
Orange means "New",
White means "Old",
Black means "Dead".

350. ...and pulsating from left-to-right means "Popular".

[Courk]

Heh, I've come to ignore the moving papers. They look like they're doing a little can-can dance.

[MatthewV]

350. You stopped waiting on #40

[Jedo the Jedi]

352. When people repeat numbers, it still doesn't bother you.

[Courk]

Can't remember if I posted this before, but:

353. A forum is yellow, so you check it. You post. You exit and see that it's yellow, so you check it again. And it's just your post.

[Jedo the Jedi]

@ Courk.

[zorT Kitty]

354. You forget what thread you're in. But you see numbers! But you KNOW you didn't click on the countdown thread.... You start convulsing... Has this thread been hijacked too?

*shudder*

[edit] fixes number [/edit]

[Jedo the Jedi]

355. You realize that like the countdown thread, people often cannot get numbers right. However, you still have symptom #352, so you only give it a passing glance.

[Courk]

356. You spend a good few days compiling every single mafia game played on these boards that can still be located. (I need help.)

357. You get mad at people playing mafia in real life when the cop casts the lynching vote on the person she checked that night and found to be innocent. Then you realize not everyone has played and discussed mafia as extensively as folks on here do. But still...

[Jedo the Jedi]

358. You find that the lessons in logic that you learned on the GL while debating about mafia, politics, and the likes can help you in real life (like when you have to participate in discussions for online classes).

[MatthewV]

359. (for mith) You consider making a new forum just so you have another place to check every five minutes.

[Jedo the Jedi]

360. You realize that the GL has come full-circle.

[Jack_Ian]

361. You know how to pronounce Ctorj.
362. You've read all of the reasons and sigh when someone posts a duplicate.
363. Your name appears as the last post for every forum in the forum index and you keep refreshing, hoping for it to change, so that you can respond.

[Ctorj]

[Jedo the Jedi]

366. You realize that after reading #362, #363 is in direct contradiction, but you don't care because it had a little different wording.

[mith]

367. While you manage to hold off on the making a new forum for the purposes of a rather silly joke, you spend the next 12 hours trying to come up with a decent reply to symptom 359.
368. You decide that the next polling tournament should be "favorite symptom of addiction to the GL", to determine what the top 10 really are.

[Dread Pirate Westley]

369 You are stunned to realize the possibility that GL logic may actually be adequate for real life situations.

[wordcross]

370. You are constantly tempted to yell "Crap Logic!™" at your teachers.

[Courk]

OMG, that should be the next polling tournament.

[Jedo the Jedi]

371. You check Courk's post multiple times to see if she hid a number in there to throw you off.

[worm]

372. you think 359's been done before...well, sort of:)

[Jedo the Jedi]

373. You often have the GL open in one window, then open another to do something else, but think 'I should check the GL' so you do until you realize that you now have the GL open in both windows and you can't remember what you were originally going to do.

(That's for Courk.)
