You know you're a Pearl jam fan when...

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 ...

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.

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

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

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.

When your on your way home after not seeing your family for 2 days because of work and can't help thinking I wonder if there is any new announcements on PJ.com, better check as soon as I get in. "sorry kids Daddy needs the laptop for important things!"

PJ88

When you used to not think twice about dropping $30 on a single import bootleg, $50 for a 2CD and $100 plus for a "boxset", not caring about the quality, just so you could experience the thrill of hearing/reliving Pearl Jam live.

I kind of miss those days. My wallet doesn't!

When people ask you why you are going to see the same show five times in a row and you answer: "They never play the same setlist".

You have over 8tb's of hard drive space worth of Pearl Jam goodies & Pearl Jam ONLY material!

Your home page on your PC & cellphone is http://www.pearljam.com/goods

When talking to your friends & family members you quote Pearl Jam songs & end sentences with 'jam'.

All the rooms in your home is Pearl Jam furnished.

You CRACKED me up with this one!!!!
It's SO TRUE TOO!!! :ugeek:

Your iPod has 100+ playlists that all begin with the letters PJ:
and then the name of a city or concert venue (sometimes followed by a number..ie PHILLY 4)
and the BEST playlist is simply labeled PJ: EVERYTHING

You know you're a Pearl jam fan when... you've been practically unemployed for the past two years, but here you are at 3am refreshing every so often to find out where the PJ20 FEST will be held and are planning to attend,,, even though you live in Europe!

Pearl Drummer

When you live on this website
Your friends think your smoking crack
Your dad yells at you constantly for talking about them
You have a PJ tattoo on your back

EDIT: When the 1st thing you do in the morning on come on here
