You might be a comic book geek if.......
1) You ever thought of naming you children Clark, Bruce, Peter or Logan (OK, not just me. A former co-worker who shall remain un-nammed [Daniel] fits this one also)
2) You have a box full of clear special plastic bags with matching acid free
backing boards. Double Points if you know what a Mylar bag is, tripple if that
is all you'd ever use.
3) If you ever considered getting rid of furniture to fit more comic book boxes
in your house. (And this is wrong... why?)
4) If you have ever considered changing your legal name to Jack "King" Kirby.
5) If not only do you know who Stan Lee is but if the names Bob Kane, Steve
Ditko, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and Frank Miller make you want to stand up
and salute the flag.
6) If you not only know who Gwen Stacey is but you think you might still have a
serious crush on her.
7) If you a remember when all comic characters were actually Heterosexual.
8) If the word Clone and Spiderman in the same sentence still sends you running
to the toilet bowl to vomit.
9) If every time you watch James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies you can't help but
think "How did James Bond end up with Lois? Superman is gonna kick his @$$!
10) You have ever uttered the worlds... I want Barry Allen back! Or Hal
Jordan... Dick Grayson... Oliver Queen (you get the Idea)
11) If your idea of a fun date is to take your girl friend to Barnes and Noble,
order lager Coffees and read the comic trade paper backs all night until
closing.
12) if you ever paid over 50 bucks for one comic book and knew you just got the
deal of the century! (OK, I do draw the line here, at least until after everyone in the family is out of college...)
13) If you keep having dreams that you actually got THE INCREDIBLE HULK #181 for Christmas. Double Points if you know why you'd dream such a thing!!! (OK, this one definitely applies to me!)
14) If you ever stood in line for hours on end to have some guy who the rest of
the world has no idea who is, sign your comic books.
15) If you not only know there has been more then one Robin, but you can name
all three of them off the top of your head. Double points if you thinking right
now "Hey there is Four if you count the one Frank Miller had in Return of the
Dark Knight."
16) If when a bully/boss/spouse/etc picks on you have an incredible urge to
shout out "In the Brightest day, in Darkest night, no evil shall escape my
sight, let those who worship evils might, Beware my power, Green Lantern's
Light!"
17) if during an angry fit the words "Hulk Smash" or "It's Clobbering time" are
the first things to escape your lips. (OK, I actually said one of these to a customer over the phone when I still worked in customer support...)
18) if you have ever made a list or had a discussion over what the different
colors of Kryptonite does. (if you know there was more then just green!)
19) If you know Alfred's Last name.
20) if you can list all the names of the Original Justice League. Bonus if you
can do the Avengers too!
21) If you know who Wally West is.
22) If you know what kinda ring Bruce Wayne would be keeping in his cave.
23) If you have ever tried to buy/download a boot leg copy of the Fantastic
Four movie that never got released.
24) If you think yelling out "Wonder twins powers Activate form of a ________ "
(fill in the blank) is a good way to bond with someone. (This is wrong?)
and last but not least..... (drum role Please)...... 25) It is Wednesday and
you are pulling together all the money you can find to go pick up your weekly
stash of comics!!!! (Not anymore. Now I have subscriptions to them all!)
I'm not obsessed. I'm not obsessed. I'm not obsessed. I'm not obsessed.
I'm not obsessed. I'm not obsessed. I'm not obsessed.
