    At work (I am a Chemistry grad student):  

    ...when you are working in lab and suddenly you realize everyone's staring at you because you're singing Jolly Roving Tar without realizing it.

     

    ...you put off doing a task that is particularly noisy just so you can finish listening to Ordinary Day for the 5th time that day.

     

    Miscellaneous:   You just meet your roommate's mother, yet HAVE to play her GBS since her name is Mary Mack...

    Re: You Know your a Great Big Sea Fan WHEN......

    ...you're an English-born American, but most of our co-workers assume you are Canadian because at least once a year (and sometimes more) you go to Canada for a few days!

    ...you turn in a vacation request at work, or tell friends "I'll be out of town for a long weekend" and people ask "Where are they playing this time?"

      -  and they are right  -

    ...most vacation days are used for GBS Trips

    ...you volunteer your very sparse spare time to Moderate the band's official website, and are more than happy to sacrifice said time!

    ...you have "My Photos" as your screen-saver, and you see more of the band than of your own family!

    ...your kids know every word to almost every song because they've listened to GBS for most of their lives, and beg "When do WE get to go to see a Great Big Sea concert?" And after 6 years, they finally get to go, and they sqeal and jump around like crazy wild animals when you tell them we scored 4 front row seats!

    ...you sign up for a cruise you would never normally take, and is way out of the budget, just because the band is on board, and you sacrifice to make ends meet when an installment is due, and are happy to do so (even if the Hubby is not)!

    ...all your favorite bands these days are ones you've discovered through GBS or through OKP friends or on GBS Road Trips!

    I've got 276 songs on my ipod, 153 are gbs....and the rest are made up of my fav songs by gaelic storm, shanneyganock, ron hynes, carbon leaf, and so on......

    - you find out when you are counting the songs on your ipod that you have 3 different tracks of gbs singing the same song....like lukey, ordinary day, the night pat murphy died....

    ...you get a giggle out of saying "buddy" instead of "that guy," or out of explaining utterly unhelpfully to a crossword buff that a ganif is a sleveen.

    ...you look at someone's concert photos and know exactly what song is being sung for the pose/expression/hilarity that is in the photo.

    ...you have a small iPod and realize you will soon have to winnow out some of the quadrupled/quintupled versions of songs.

    Re: You Know your a Great Big Sea Fan WHEN......

    Hey Fran.  I love the one about your kid screaming "they said Newfoundland or St. John's"....my five year old daughter does the same thing.  She actually includes "Canada"...knowing only that mom loves it there and that's where GBS is from.

    Re: You Know your a Great Big Sea Fan WHEN......

    You have to keep bugging your school's vice principal to get Murray's autograph, that's actually a photocopy of the real thing out of the locker below yours. (The locker wasn't being used by anyone but it had a locker on it because they didn't want people using it, or something)

    Yep, I must have closed the door too hard or something or not been using a good magnet.

    Re: You Know your a Great Big Sea Fan WHEN......

    you're sitting in the Vet's office and your 5 year old little boy starts jumping up and down yelling " Mommy, Mommy listen...it's great big SEA" and drags you to a speaker so you can hear Walk on the Moon. 

    I'm so proud of him. He's learned well :)


    be safe,

    ...you have created, dyed, or modified clothing specifically to wear to a GBS concert.

    You are sitting in an ice cream shop and a guy wearing a shirt saying "England" walks in and you start singing "England"

    Re: You Know your a Great Big Sea Fan WHEN......

    You find out you're due the 1st week of March and the 1st 2 thoughts that run through your mind are

    1) They better schedule a show in Montreal by Early Feb at the latest, just to make sure.

    2) OMG, I won't be able to go to shows for a while. How am I going to survive?

    Then to stir things up some more, the doctor examines you and seems to think you are farther along than you think making the possibilities of attending a Montreal show, just about non-existant.

    (I'm awful, aren't I?)
