    2. you can spell "VITALOGY" without looking twice even though you gotta think about how to spell "Weird"
    3. you laugh awkwardly at every post here, because you can relate
    4. you can tell what the filler song in Daughter is gonna be as soon as the break comes

    your wife thinks she converted you to eating avocado (which you hated!!!) because it's good for you... but ironically it happened in 2006.

    1. Your iPod consists of 11976 (at the moment) PJ tracks
    2. You have a steno pad with all the band's lyrics written inside, even though you can easily look them up online or in most cases, the CD booklet.
    3. Your wife statrs singing along to newer or lesser known PJ songs without even realizing it. (Life Wasted and Supersonic, respectively)
    4. Having 2 copies of every album, just because.
    5. You refresh your phone from your in-laws house every 5 minutes to check the setlist updates.
    6. You use your previously mentioned iPod to create fantasy setlists while bored at work.
    7. You play PJ cover converts in your spare bedroom, and share the setlists your played with certain friends.
    8. When you used to work for a cable company, and while troubleshooting with a customer, every time you said "is that any better?" you think saying "is that Eddie Vedder?" would be hilarious.
    9. You name your black lab Pearl.
    Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    ...when you show iphone video of your 1&1/2 year old daughter saying "Pearl Jam rocks!" to everybody you know
    ...when one of your proudest monents as a dad was when your 2year old daughter spontaneously sang lines from Amongst the Waves for the first time because you sing it to her so much
    ...when your daughter has been sung pjam songs almost every night of her life as going to sleep lullaby's
    ...you have video of your daughter headbanging to pjam because she's seen you do it so many times
    ...you got a countdown app on your phone just to set up am event to remind you how many seconds are left till you see pjam live

    Whenever you see an "Eddie Stobart" truck, you smile because the name Eddie means a lot to you ;):lol:

    And I thought only I am this crazy, silly me. :lol:

    I guess we all share most of the symptoms ;)

    I am reading this posts and I just want to hug you all :mrgreen:

    True story....

    My newly licensed 16 year old son and I have been looking for a first car for him now for a few months. We both are a bit picky when it comes to cars so the right one just hasn't been found. He wants an Audi A4 with all the bells and whistles. With our budget, needless to say getting a deal on one has been elusive. We live in Atlanta and have found good cars but they've all been in California, Colorado or some other far distance. Well, wouldn't you know it, a car came up in a search yesterday of all places, Charlotte NC. Perfect, A4 Quattro Black loaded.

    When I informed my spouse that I needed to go ride 4 hours to look at a used car for him, she responded. 'Pearl Jam is playing tomorrow night in Charlotte aren't they?'

    I'm so busted. Need ticket, hotel room and possibly divorce attorney.

    You would be fine if serius satellite radio just had one channel called pj radio because 99 percent of the time it's on that channel.

    Side note: does anyone switch the channel just so other friends don't think that it's all you listen to? Haha......even though they already know

    You keep a mental list of the songs that have yet to be played live.

    You have PJ stat tracker on your phone and know all the album percentages you have seen live.

    You have no problem buying a mystery box

    You have no problem waiting in freezing temps or blistering heat for hours on end for a chance to buy above box, or anything else that is "leftover"

    And agreeing with the satellite post above, yes they could take away every other station and you wouldn't notice for weeks, as long as channel 22 was still playing.

    When you randomly hear a song on iPod shuffle and you hear the next song from the album in your head..happens to me all the time.! And sometimes I find myself singing black and somehow know every word..I think sh*t I've got a CD player in my brain..sometimes wonder if I've got a special compartment locked away somewhere just reserved for pearl jam, nevermind!!

    My girlfriend said this to one of ours the other day. Made me laugh. She has no idea it's a song title. Maybe PJ is starting to creep into her subconscious.
