You know you're a Bruce fan if...

101. every evening at 8:15 you turn the lights down in your house and put the CD player on random to see what Bruce will open with tonight.
102. you turn down life everlasting for life right now.
103. you know you took a wrong turn but just keep going.
104. you have no interest in "The Blair Witch Project" but you would wait on line to see "The Search for The Ghost of Tom Joad."
105. you're first guitar is a wood grain Telecaster.
106. your second guitar is a black Takamine G-series.
107. instead of saying grace each member of your family recites a verse of "If I Should Fall Behind"
108. you show up to church 4 hours early and with a BBQ and lawn chairs.
109. you dress in black one night, find your dog and tell him for tonight only he's been upgraded to sleeping at the foot of your bed.
110. you drive past the Meadowlands looking to see if the banner is still up.
111. every time you take a drink at the office watercooler, you spray water in the air.
112. you sing "This train carries whores and gamblers" on the train to work and nearly get in several fights.
113. when you step outside, you yell "Is anybody alive out there?"
114. Whenever a slow song comes on the radio at work, you look around to see if anybody is getting up to go to the bathroom.
115. you drive past the Spectrum to see if anybody is anybody is there yet.
116. you watch a special on the Discovery channel because it mentions the Mesabi Iron Range.
117. you *want* to think back on Rosalita, but you only find yourself thinking about NYC Serenade.
118. every time your spouse enters the room, you precede it by singing: "Well they made that change uptown and the big man joined the band."
119. you refuse to introduce anyone in public without musical accompaniment.
120. you're supposed to be in work by 7:30, but wait because you know your boss won't be arriving until about 8:15.
121. you were happier to see Soozie Tyrell than Bon Jovi on 8/12/99.
122. you know the twin red heads behind the stage blowing kisses to The Boss
123. you're listening to Bruce right now.

I'm sitting here with a hairline fracture in my cheekbone and cracking up. This is torture!

I'm going to use 118 on my husband from now on. Why didn't I think of this myself?

Annie:

These are hysterical!! Keep 'em coming!! http://talk.livedaily.com/docs/smile.gif

Let me add one I thought of today:

124. You know you're a Bruce fan if...you wish your commute to and from work was longer, so you could listen to more of the tape in your Walkman. (Happens to me everyday!)

Annie...

Awesome. Pure comedy. I'll be stealing/incorporating some of those very soon. Even if others don't get it, I'll be happy.

Oh...

Someone at work just used the phrase "bruised and battered" and I jumped up and shouted "Streets of Philadelphia!"

Rams, that one just may be #125 . . . !

I was thinking of putting these five threads in the Springsteen Archives, which can be accessed through the main page, at the bottom of the page. Reason is this: after Karin's thread disappearred in the last cut, I want to preserve some "keepers". Any opinions?

129. Just because your name is Bobby, you want to keep a gun beneath your pillow.

130. You have ever considered driving from Freehold to Youngstown.
