You Know You've Spent Too Much Time On the Escapist When...

[Daystar Clarion]

It happens all the time.

I'm like the Skittles guy.

Everything I touch turns into derail.

How does that work?

I mean, you must touch yourself at some point [small]Yes, ha ha ha very funny[/small].
How does one derail oneself?

I mean... that's... what?

This one time, I went into the kitchen for a sandwich.

While I was there, I scratched my head, and the next thing I know, I was on the moon.

True story.

Wasn't there one thread that you started yourself and ended up derailing within the first ten posts? I seem to remember something like that happening at least once.

I know I've spent too much time here, because it's quarter to 3 in the morning and I'm still awake.

Yup.

It's a curse, really.

When you check out the forums, and decide there's nothing of interest. But then, on instinct, you open up a new tab and type in escapistmagazine.com.
I have done that so many times... Like "Oh well, I guess there's no threads I want to post in today. Lets check out the rest of the internet!" *opens up escapist forums in new tab* "Godamnit."

Oh, and this thread is just a massive ego-booster for Daystar, isn't it? It's ok though, I can live with Daystar-boosting. The bigger they are, the harder they fall

Oh come on!

It's not my fault I'm so loveable.

And he WILL fall hard. I will see to that... personally.

But yeah, I have actually been guilty of the same thing. What's worse is that someone once saw me do it and ask if I had gone insane.

Which one? Mr. Dunne or Mr. Boyfriend?
(kidding, kidding)

Mr. Dunne didn't (we talked about nerdy crap and the city), but Mr. Boyfriend has (he just tried to serenade me with 'Shooter Guy'. Didn't work since he can't sing. XP).

My girlfriend is under the impression that, because I was in chorus in high school, I can sing. This is not the case and I have been too much of a pussy to serenade her yet, lol.

When I've spent the entirety of my time yesterday reading these forum threads without ever visiting through the forum tab itself. Also knowing that I've posted nothing meaningful at any one point despite being here quite often.

Lol. If what I can remember of school choruses is true here, you may be better off keeping your mouth shut.

I forgot, Mr. Dunne did give me a CD. So does that count?

When you see the Avengers and think, 'yeah, that's us right there, the Brovengers.'

When you design your own superhero costume with a big bold B on the chest.

Yeah, I'd say that counts

I don't think you have to be on the Escapist for very long to know Daystar.

More like you've been on the Escapist too long when you know that Vault 101 is a woman, or you know who Casual Shinji is. When you hear yourself responding as both Jack and Calumon.

In terms of specific length, when you remember Furburt and Demented Teddy and MaxtheReaper.

In terms of mindset, when you find yourself thinking that almost everywhere else on the internet is deeplu stupid.
