You Might Be An Internet Addict If...
You step out of your room and realize that your parents have moved and you don't have a clue as to when it happened. <li>Your bookmark list takes 15 minutes to go from top to bottom. <li>Your nightmares are in HTML and GIFS. <li>You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one. <li>You start introducing yourself as "Jim at net dot com" <li>Your heart races faster and beats irregularly each time you see a new WWW site address on TV. <li>You turn on your intercom when leaving the room so you can hear if new e-mail arrives. <li>Your wife drapes a blond wig over your monitor to remind you of what she looks like. <li>All of your friends have an @ in their names. <li>When looking at a web page full of someone else's links, you notice all of them are already highlighted in purple. <li>Your dog has its own home page. <li>You can't call your mother... She doesn't have a modem. <li>You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again. <li>Your phone bill is a heavy as a brick. <li>You write your homework in HTML and give your instructor the URL. <li>You don't know the sex of three of your closest friends, because they have neutral nicknames and you never bothered to ask. <li>Your husband tells you that he has had the beard for 2 months <li>You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed. <li>You tell the kids they can't use the computer because "Daddy's got work to do" -- even though you don't have a job. <li>You buy a Captain Kirk chair with a built-in keyboard and mouse. <li>Your wife makes a new rule: "The computer cannot come to bed." <li>You get a tattoo that says "This body best viewed with Netscape 3.0 or higher." <li>You never have to deal with busy signals when calling your ISP... because you never log off. <li>The last girl you picked up was only a GIF. <li>You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace the chair in front of your computer with a toilet. <li>Your wife says communication is important in a marriage... so you buy another computer and install a second phone line so the two of you can chat. <li>As your car crashes through the guardrail on a mountain road, your first instinct is to search for the "back" button. Anyone relate to any of the above? -------------------- ![]() I Search for the Sjogren's Foundation,Who will you search for? I once had a life.. now I have the Internet... |

"You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace the chair in front of your computer with a toilet."

I don't think it looks unreasonable, do you?
