you get sucked into this forum vortex

your house starts to display PJ on every single wall

and your wife talks about PJ annonymous

your friends think your crazy

you go to see them 5 times in a week........

and most relevant

you check your bank balance

You want to go to the MSG shows but don't have sufficient funds. Your wife is notified about a modeling opportunity that fits a certain description and she thinks you're the one for the job. The job pays $500 and takes only a few hours time so you let her submit a picture of you. Voila....you get selected but upon hearing the news find out that you'll be wearing a Speedo as part of the photo shoot. Doh! Hmmmm.....$500 bones for donning a Speedo in an ad that will go to print = a trip to New York to see PJ play the world's greatest indoor arena??? Hells yeah I put on the banana hammock. I still have the Speedo as a keepsake in my underwear drawer :shock: :oops:

That's just "blind" love :? . Even you say "one of the ugliest t-shirts ever produced"

If you refer to live albums that cost 15 dollars as "bootlegs"....you might be a Pearl Jam fan.

If you've thought about stealing a Yield sign from the side of the road....you might be a Pearl Jam fan.

If you have 20 or more songs on your iPod titled "Encore Break"....you might be a Pearl Jam fan.

bigmattk11

When you turn your best friends on to the them
When your brother, your cousin, your friend, and yourself all have PJ tattoos
PJ always comes up in every subject everyday

^ah well, you do crazy things when you're young

Ha ha cool thread. I can relate to a lot of what has already been said and just add some more ...

You think of PJ when words like Porch, Daughter, Once, Blood, elderly woman etc. come up and start using lyrics in everyday talks. (You say even flow instead of even though )
You buy a turntable because you want to know whether the sound of vinyls is really that fantastic although you have only one PJ vinyl single at home.
You have more than 10 versions of every song on your ipod but never stop searching for more ...

CJMST3K

You've named your cat Smitty and your bird Ricky, and tell your neighbors "I can't have a good show without them" as they lower their head and walk away in awkward silence.

You've tattooed the names of each drummer on your arm, and then following Matt, your name is listed.

The "No Code" album cover was used as your graduation photo.

Is it embarrassing that when I first stated coming on here that when people kept referring to boots I did for a brief while think they were referring to PJ branded footwear.

dimitrispearljam

when you listen once a week all 86 versions have been played of Nothing as it Seems

PhantomPainInMyBrain

...spending $190 on a boxset of music you already own makes perfect sense! ;-)

ACE10

you and your friend are standing in line at the box office around 3pm (right when it opens) super excited to find out how close your seats are gonna be

you and the same friend later arrive at your awesome seats (yes we're on Mike's side!) and immediately begin specualtion on what the first song will be. "Can't be Release cuz they opened with that last night. It's either gonna be Long Road or Oceans..."

you are ecxited for them to play a certain "rarity" because you heard people talking about them playing it earlier at soundcheck

you finally get back home after driving for many hours, it's 3 am, your ears are still ringing and you're goofy tired. But instead of immediately seeking much needed sleep, you jump on the internet to share your memories and relive the show

YES.
And when your associate has to make three different phone calls in a row to her clients to apologize for her bad temper or minor mess ups, you can't help but singing the first line of Foxymop out loud and giggle.
Funny how there are PJ lines suitable for just any situation really.
