    Post your humurous "You Know You're a STAR WARS Geek When...." examples here.
    They can be what you actually have done or if you just thought it would be funny.
    Take mine for example.

    You Know You're a STAR WARS Geek When....

    1. two little kids make fun of you and your SW bud and you reply: "Don't insult us. We're wanted men, I have the death sentence on twelve systems"
    2. When you ask your Mom for a ride to your friends house and she says no so you reply: "I guess we'll have to go out on tauntauns then"

    Please someone continue.[face_laugh]

    You Know You're a STAR WARS Geek When....
    ...people say something you can almost always find a Star Wars line to reply with.

    Ohh, I'm definetly guilty of that one. ;)

    ...you go into a fabric store and sort all the fabrics into categories depending on which SW costume they could be made for (even if you have never planned to make that costume)

    ...you actually visit one or more places where they have shot the films.

    ...you expect the Lucasfilm logo to come up every time you hear the Fox fanfare.

    When walking into WAL-MART you say to your friend: "I'll get the door" and move your hand forward setting of the sensors for the automatic door. (Guilty)

    Whan your car is having troubles and you tell the machanic you think it has something to do with the negative power coupling.

    When in class you reply to your teacher with C3P0's lines. (Guilty)

    when on a resume you write you can speak six million languages, and that protocol is your primary function.

    You sign off your emails with "Clear Skies" instead of "Goodbye".

    All your friends at the Internet cafe call you "Yav'", cos you created an email address called "Yavin", and they thought it was your name, and you never realised until they shortened it.

    You walk through a crowd of people, dodging around them, and Ackbar's phrase from the ROTJ novel springs to mind: "Take evasive action. Green Group steer for holding sector MG-7..."

    ... hearing friends or enemies express even a minor interest in Star Wars is a cause for celebration.
    ... you find a way to incorporate Star Wars into presentations or math lectures (hey, it's a whole lot cooler to hear Yoda ask the class to do matrix encryption then me asking :p "Lost a decoder Master Obi-Wan has..." :p)

    Yeah, i do that all the time.


    When you read Star Wars books, you can see it happening in your head.

    I love doing that, it makes the book more exciting.


    You find ways to use your Star Wars experiences in school reports.

    In 9th grade, in my english class, we had to do a presentation on anything, so i picked Star Wars.

    I wrote a paper about RotJ in '97 too... It was supposed to be about the last movie you saw. I failed to remember I'd just seen MIB in the theater and went completely off-topic, but hey, it was fun to write :D


    You know you're a SW fan when a collegue asks if you'd give the Han Solo magnet you got in your sandwich to her 7-year-old kid and you say no.
