I’ll start: … when you can’t look at a forklift without giggling and humming to yourself.

Whenever you look at a digital clock the name of the Mst experiment that coincides with the production code of the episode pops in your head.
Two simple words………… doughy guys !!!
(Note to self: Remember to thank your mother…… ) :-D
…your favorite “swear” word is “poopie!”
…when you’re watching a hockey game and the announcer talks about “getting the puck out of his area” and you start giggling like a schoolboy…or girl.
….. when you’ve been so moved by the “MST Love Theme” that it brought tears to your eyes.
You find yourself desperately seeking the sampo!
when people ask you to hurry up you yell “I’m COOOMEEEING”
you have to refrain (or not) from saying “We Have a Title!” whenever the title of a movie shows up in dialog.
When VPNing into work you yell ‘I’m Interfaced!!!’ when it connects.
Doritos are referred to as ramchips
You disagree with people by saying “oh… i don’t know…”
When you see someone hammering on metal, you start singing “I sing whenever I sing…”
When you see a “How’s my driving?” sticker, you think “Call 1-800-BITEME!”
Before you bring something into your house, you wonder if the master would approve.
Whenever someone in a movie/show takes too long to answer a question, you think “I could drive a Mack truck through your cues!”
Also, when you see pink, you think “We’re doomed.”
When you conclude stories with, “As we left the clam flowage that day . . .”
….telling pretty female friends that the master won’t approve.
….your favorite question is “….the hell?”
….while at the pet store, listing all the different kinds of “potatoes”.
….at lunch saying, “…..wait till you see ME like ham!”
….singing rock n roll martian.
….warning children, “noo Lupita.”
When I visit Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas, before I start a hike I yell “Watch out for snakes” I get some funny looks . One time after my exclamation a guy said to me Eegah! MSTies are all over :yes:
…you see the ads for the CW show “Hellcats” and immediately think of Ross Hagen, not Ashley Tisdale. (Bonus if you start humming the theme song. Double bonus if you start singing it and annoy your spouse.)
…you see a situation involving a bad decision and say “This has litigation written all over it!”
…you’ve actually looked for, found, and watched, the uncut versions of “Young Man’s Fancy” and “Mr. B Natural” online.
…you take public transit to meet the CT cast at a video store, despite it taking one train, two buses, and about an hour or so each way.
…among beach movies, you’ve seen “Catalina Caper” substantially more times than “Jaws”.
…when the aforementioned spouse can sometimes quote lines, despite having rarely watched the show; her favorite is “Roger, this is God; pick up the pace!”
-Everytime I cross over Madison Ave. near my home I instantly think “Madison!” from TISCHSLABMUZ, and have even caught myself saying it aloud.
-I can’t help inserting MSTie lines into TV shows, and films I watch, occasionally even getting a laugh.
* When you’d rather watch “Santa Claus” and “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” rather than “It’s a Wonderful Life” every Christmas.
* You tell everyone to have the Swayziest Christmas ever.
* Your sister comments on all the MST3K DVD sets you have on your Amazon WishList.
When watching a movie/TV show with a confusing plot, you say “I only have one question. What in the Sam Hill is going on?????”
sometimes you just want to walk up to somebody and say Today is dedicated to Uranus.
You know that “Plan 9” isn’t even close to being the worst film ever made.
And #62, “McCloud!” would have to be immediately preceded by “Chief!”
When riding an elevator you find yourself resisitng
the urge to say while starting it moving:
I WILL push the button.
I will PUSH the button.
I will push the BUTTON.
…when you actually use, “Each man is a god. Each man is free.” as a yearbook quote.
. . when you see a lighthouse you hauntingly intone, “Tom Stewart killed me.”
. . as you near railroad tracks you yell out, “CAN I HAVE YOUR ROOM?!”
– When you can quote Peter Graves “Man is feeling creature….” speech word for word. :P
When your boss is yelling at you all you can think of is screaming “YOU DIE JOE!!”
time for to go to bed.
SLEEEEP!
…you can’t even watch GOOD movies without riffing them.
…when you celebrate one of the cast member’s birthdays by watching your favorite of their episodes (Deathstalker today for Trace, btw).
…When the sight of a stopwatch has you thinking, “now with new, faster seconds.”
…When you bitch about how far you have to drive to get to a CT show.
When you have a bad day you say ‘What sin could a man commit in a single lifetime to bring this on himself?’
When you notice B actors from MST episodes in other things and get excited about it, like the time I saw Geroge ‘Shug’ Fisher on The Beverly Hillbillies.
You calculate room size in turkey volume.
I snip “I don’t care…” on my way out when someone overly nags or micromanages a situation or just needs to remind you to do something for millionth time.
Of course from the excellent Age of monkeys episode
#101 – Agree!
I’m even worse.
All year I do that with the dates. Like the first week of October I called the days soultaker day (10-01-10), Girl in gold Boots day (10-02-10), Merlin day (10-03-10), Future war day (10-04-10), Blood waters of Dr Z day (10-05-10), and so on.
Sometimes I even try to make a point of popping in the movies on those days.
whenever you see a bicycle you start singing the song from Gamera….were gonna ride our bicycles…….
… when you quote the “good and beautiful” speech as your Facebook status.
… whenever you get an injury on any part of your body you exclaim: “Oh, My spine.”
when someone informs you of something you say: “I don’t care, I don’t care.” ala Johnny.
Whenever you see a little oriental child you think “Kenny”
whenever you’re in the wilderness you do actually “Watch out for snakes”
and many many more
When I hear people say SoL, I think they’re referring to the Satellite of Love.
When I identify with nearly every comment on the discussion thread.
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and Santa Claus are not just Christmas musts, but enjoyable anytime of the year.
…you enjoy guessing how many turkeys it would take fill a given space.
…when considering vacation plans, the Turd Museum in Citrusville always comes to mind.
…when you’re at the hardware store and you see a wheelbarrow, your first thought is of someone dressed as a Spartan.
you have a secret smile whenever you meet some one name Kenny.
‘Kennys gettin candy’.
#67: “…you visit this site multiple times a day, looking forward to these discussion threads and the weekly episode guide.”
Amen. I even watch (and take notes about) the upcoming episode well before Thursday so’s I can have my thoughts organized ahead of time (and to do any research required). Special thanks to a gal (“outmywindow” – whatever happened to her?) I met at my first CT show that pointed out to me that Episode Guides entries were always posted on Thursdays. Though I’d been visiting the site quite often I hadn’t yet joined the community, feeling too much of a “noob” to contribute to discussions. A couple of years later and I’m a regular. And though Sampo has never stressed it much, we should all donate to the site for all the great work he and Erhardt do for us.
#105: “…when you’ve been so moved by the “MST Love Theme” that it brought tears to your eyes.”
Another amen. Having only discovered the show after it officially ended, that music always tends to break my heart a little. But it never really ends, does it?
MST3K forever.
you never look at turtles the same way again. :turtle:
when you talk you wife into naming her pet turtle Gamera. thank you honey!
When a conservation with my cousins that I’m babysitting, who can’t possibly get the reference, goes like this:
“Time for go to bed!”
“But we really don’t want…”
“SLEEP!”
Also, I can’t help but smile when I go finishing with my family. Creeping Terror or Devil Fish always come to mind.
You can watch a movie and not say . . .
“Plot point, plot point, Woooooup – Woooup”
“And that’s all the foreshadowing we can afford right now.”
“Hey, we’ve wandered into another movie.”
“They’re just going to establish the hell out of that”
“Line . . .”
“That’s not a name. That’s a bad Scrabble hand.”
and finally,
when you pay $10 for the “biggest film of the year,” and you just can’t wait to get the rifftrax for it.
a) I mark any manner of success with the phrase “Huzzah!”
b) The “OK” hand gesture prompts me to declare, “It stinks!”
c) Any time I see an old movie with old cars, I repeat Mike Nelson’s riff from Radar Secret Service, “Boy, people used to drive a lot of vintage cars back then.” :chic:
You must, as a daily ritual, pick out an episode of MST3K on DVD, put it on auto repeat and play it the entire time you’re sleeping. I call them my “bedtime stories.” This is also an indicator of my insomnia, but still…
when someone who’s easily in their 30’s or older does something incredibly stupid you say… but he’s just a child!! getting ready to go play golf. i better watch the coily short so i have some riviting conversation for the guys!!!
When you write alternate titles for the movies on your MST DVDs:
Werewilf
Screaming; Skull
Quest of the Delta Burkes
I imported about 70 eps (including CT films) onto my PC and then compressed them and put them on a flash drive and I listen to them while I’m at work. It’s fantastic!!
you’ve ever had a dream with riffs included.
you have actually contacted someone who made or starred in a film that was on MST3K for a film project.
you have shouted out “Will there be Mashed potatos?” randomly during someone’s speak.
you see balloons and say ” Enjoy the balloons(with the sinster laugh)”/ “Those balloons really cheer me up.”/ “It is balloon.”
you can be given a MST title and start quoting more than five riffs.
you watch a movie , hear a certain line, and go oh so that’s where they got the riff.
you have memorized MST3K: the movie.
your buddies and you start laughing when you find a movie with Miles O’Keife.
you use a MST soundbite in a powerpoint presentation.
… someone mentions a Thunderdome and Mel Gibson and Tina Turner aren’t your first thought.
