inspired by Mad magazine today..
1 You use you kids college fund to buy Benaroya Hall vinyl on eBay and tell him "community college is just as good son."
2 Your wife says it's her or the posters and you immediately think "how am i going to frame these on one income?"
3 You remortgaged your house with Predatory lenders to follow PJ on their whole tour.....you now live in a make-shift shelter made of old poster tubes and plastic beer cups.
4 You're facing a violent felony charge and your best defense is "He kept yelling play Jeremy your Honor."
5 The Bentley Santos drives has your initials on the vanity plate as tribute to all your 10c purchases.
6 You actually like Stone's singing. (heheheh....couldn't resist

Now, you are a LUCKY fanatic, when your significant other is on the same page with you, and you can be furious together, and your families think you're both insane.
(* we DID make it to a show just hours after landing from our honeymoon)
ones that make me feel good when things behind the smile ain't ok...." -Hoon
Kinda.
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Your email and work application passwords are pearl jam and the names of the band members.
You see PJ open for Tom Petty in Denver and leave two songs into Petty's set because it seems boring and mundane compared to PJ.
You have a PJ song as ringtone on your mobile and you keep on missing phone calls because you want to hear the end of it.
You and your new husband followed PJ's tour on your honeymoon, halfway around the world from Phialdelphia, PA to Australia.
Your cat's name is Stone.
Your past 3 personalized license plates have all been PJ references.
You download the full discography of every artist pearl jam's ever covered, toured with or cited as an influence.
You make sure your teenage son always has at least one Pearl Jam shirt at all times. When he grows out of one you trade yours so nobody gets his.
You create a new Pearl Jam playlist every day to sing while in the shower.
You walk out of the weight room just when Rockin in a Free World starts playing on your Ipod, so you go back and hit the weights for one more encore of curls.
You struggle longer to fit Pearl Jam in as a topic for your ivy-league graduate school essays and as a bonus, get accepted.
You have a library of Pearl Jam "come backs" built up for when unappreciative people question their significance; answers such as, "I'll listen to another band when I find one" and "I have 12 versions of Alive on my iTunes."
You end your vacation early by leaving your military-deployed husband behind at the hotel alone in Ft. Lauderdale, sacrificing the last few days we'd have together before he went back. Change your flight, fly back to Philly, land at the airport at noon, get your friend to pick you up and drive 5 hours to Pittsburgh to catch the concert.
You use your boss's credit card to buy the best seats for Bridge School even though you still haven't figured out how you'll get there from FL. But months later, are almost in tears when he calls you from the car to sing Evenflow along w/the radio. And on some level you feel as though you've done your part that day to educate the masses...
You have three bank accounts: checking, savings, and Pearl Jam tour dates.
You buy six avocados to try to get one good pit to create art with.
You go around stealing lost dog flyers.
You watch the movie "Singles" 8 times a year, and freeze all the PJ takes, just to get a Gossard fix - yum!
You hop in your trusty old "Jamwagon" with the surfboard logo sprayed on the bonnet & PJ stickers all over the back, and clock up nearly 700 miles in 72 hours to see Pearl Jam at both Leeds and Reading festivals.
You spent 2 days making a stencil of the Surfboard logo from Deep #1 to spray onto your car bonnet... then find that when you cut it out you permanently etched it into the loft floor in your RENTED house... and you're quite proud it'll be there forever.
You've got a really deep & meaningful reason for having the Stickman on your arm, just in case you ever meet any of the band and they ask "why the fuck did you get that?"
You have at least one pet named after a member of the band.
You get physically ill reading about all these Jam-heads thinking they're a bigger one than you, but loving it at the same time!
You make the recipes provided in the Deep Newsletter/Magazine, even though they ravage your diet.
You start saying "even flow" instead of "even though" in conversations.
You force yourself to eat and try to enjoy avocados, even flow you have absolutely hated the taste of them in the past.
The main reason you watch Lost is because Desmond kind of looks like Eddie.
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

you know deep magazine has become a myth
you have a different bootleg for every day of the year
the people in michaels know you by name because you have framed so many posters.
you spend more time reading stuff on the boards than work at your job
you remember every little detail about every show you ever went to including if eddie was wearing white pants but still forget birthdays and anniversaries
