Hahaha! I am ROFL over here !!!! this is one cool list! love your latest, Eileen!!!
6) of curiosity..what is that line in german? then I genuinely could drop it into a convo without people thinking I'm strange by not knowing what i am saying..hang on..that may be stranger...!
8) I may well have been unknowingly subjected to Kia-ora as a child, along with a myriad of sugar filled beverages that made me run around like a mad thing until i ended up in a whining heap on the floor! is it not international? shame on them!!!
13) googling right now
15) Must admit I'd be a little like Hal when it comes to camping trips, but more flexible if an inflatable lilo is promised. he is a high maintenance vampire!
16) or only with marigolds on
Just noticed I duplicated your 5) so have redone the list correcting the numbers >>>
You Know You are Obsessed With Hal When......
1) you buy your own dominos and keep one with you all the time. *coughs*
2) you look for tweet suits on the internet/in the shopping mall. *coughs again* Damn, forgot the cough medicine again.
3) you prefer the lute to the electric guitar.
4) you organize your eggs by size.
5) you try to do 110 press-ups just to keep up with Hal.
6) you wear marigolds for even the most basic task, and sing while doing so.
7) you drop the odd "have we finished flirting" into conversations
8) you deliberately go down the squash and delicious fruit cordial isle in the supermarket, just to see if....
9) you find yourself checking the daily Radio 4 schedule over breakfast
10) you find your hands trying to make origami flowers out of anything remotely paper-like
11) the sight of sharp wooden objects fills you with an irrepressible protection instinct!
12) you don't find it odd to pile all your furniture in your room in front of the door just to stop yourself from going out.
13) you check your local museum if they have a wooly mammoth on display.
14) you start to check Ceefax daily because social media is too modern.
15) you think about your priorities when a friend suggests a camping trip.
16) you start to avoid shaking hands because Hal hated it, why should you like it then?
My brain can only think of one more for now:
17) you start to feel braver about coming out of the closet as an obsessive Bargain Hunt and Antiques Roadshow watcher
6.) I mostly speak German during the day. So this line would sound strange. Hehe! But I could consider to insert it into chats. Hmmmm... *strokes her non-existing beard*
7.) LOL I'm sure I would not find it here. Did you ever drink any?
8.) I think Radio 4 is similar to our Info Radio. LOL I have to admit, I have checked the schedule just to see what Hal likes to listen to.
9.) I do! LOL I love origami and looked up the instructions for the rose on youtube. I found them but never got to do it. Instead I started to make other stuff (i.e. bunnies and other flowers) for my parents.
10.) It does!!! LOL But I can still hold a pencil without panicking and shoving every vampire out of the way.
You know you are obsessed with Hal when...

LOL! :D been there, done that, got the T-shirt!! You know you are obsessed with Hal when...
18) you get a disliking to budgies 19) you get annoyed by your messy bookshelf 20) the dirty kitchen floor starts being something you look forward to :D

Lol! Yes, Hal's elasticated arms and shoe covers are priceless! Good to know Being Human is tangentially contributing to your children's well being, Irishgal! I actually love beetroot juice and all purple vegetables including carrots.
27) your wise ageing grandparents begin to seem ridiculously young... and naive
28) when lying in the dentist's chair and asked to open wider, you actually 'do a Hal' (and expect to see your teeth grow longer in themirror)
29) the white polo shirt you wore a few times when in your tennis phase that has since been in the 'take to the Charity shop' bag is suddenly harder to part with
30) in current affairs, political, philosophical or just about any discussions, you find yourself looking for opportunities to dramatically say, "Sooner or later we all go back to being the monsters we truly are”
31) you make a forum to legitimize having a space where you can hang out all day thinking about stuff like signs that show you are obsessed with Hal
haha! excellent additions Sami, they resonate.... thanks for adding and getting into the spirit...... you have a HAL DRINKING GAME? and you have not told us about this?! deserves a new topic of its very own, in the very least?!!! *hic*
Hahaha! This is soo funny!!! I can relate to alot of these! Let's see if I can think of any...
33) you and your room mate (who you have forced to watch the show with you) have decided to create a Hal drinking game just so you have an excuse to watch it all again
34) you have memorized the man of god speech (and many of his other lines) and you plan on using it as a monologue for auditions
35) you attempt to use words such as tangentially in every day life
36) you've latched on to this one shirt that you have convinced yourself is exactly like one of the ones he wore (but is really only slightly like it)

It's a really nice look you've got going on there :wink:
43) when you were starving hungry but do not even notice your lunch going cold because you are chatting with other Hal fans in the forum chat box about chatting about Hal!!
haha! on that theme: 49) when you HAVE to change your clothes
or how about: 50) when the sound of small dogs yapping becomes more intriguing than irritating 51) you being to test your ability to resist small urges...
I have been thinking..a good test for Hal's ability to resist bigger urges (rather than a leap from dominoes to B L O O D ) would be to allow messiness, piles of washing up, freezer compartments wedged shut with slabs of ice, higgletypigglety books on shelves, and not on shelves, uneven chair legs, eggs of random sizes randomly stored, spiders, small dog, budgies, kia-ora. conquer those and blood would be a breeze!
Then he just has to come to my house! We have all that, except dogs, budgies and Kia-ora...

well done for even understanding what I typed Ziadada! for 'Being', read 'Begin'! (I would blame the lateness of the hour, but perhaps more a case of one track fingers...see how easily they went to "Being"?!)
