*** Subj: REQUEST:  Repost 'You know you're an x-phile when.."  PL


I started the "You Know You're An X-Phile When..." list.  I have the
list of all the ones I have compiled so far (Though unfortunatly, I
haven't got the names of each contributer):
You insist that your parents call you by your last name.
Indignation because you can't find Lake Okobogee on a U.S. map
More than three original outlines buried in your drawers
The X-Files theme has become the background music for your dreams
Sudden urge to eat lots of sunflower seeds
Lecturing any science professor on the existence of extra-terrestrials
Carrying a stopwatch with you at all times
Attempting to build your own Ufo
Endlessly watching and rewatching episodes just to find discrepancies
Your college thesis is a comparison of the illustrious careers of Fox
 Mulder and Dennis/Denise Bryson (for all you Twin Peaks fans)
You suddenly find yourself referring to TSM as Cancerman just because
 Mulder does.
You fly into a homicidal rage if anyone mispronounces the name Duchovny

You shine a blue light/tape an X on your window in hopes of being
 contacted by a secretive contact.
You check all your pens and plug outlets for listening devices.
You try to order a subscription to The Lone Gunman
You search through old OMNI magazines for articles by M.F. Luder.
You accidentally refer to your mate as Scully/Mulder.
While trying to fit into that old pair of slacks, you wish you could
 make yourself all skinny like Tooms.
You begin to believe that the money missing from your paycheck is a
 government conspiracy. (Whoops, I guess that IS a gov't conspiracy!)
You go to the video store and bring home "Deep Throat," believing it's
 a spy movie.
Convinced your pet is an extra-terrestrial.
You actually like reading all the net-picking about the show on
 alt.tv.x-files....
You pick up old cigarette butts looking for listening devices....
You use more Mulder & Scullyisms than Mulder & Scully; even your
 friends don't understand why you've suddenly burst out laughing....
You become phobic about things on your desk being moved and by
 people... in... black....
You stop in the middle of roads late at night to check for time lapses
 with your stopwatches....
You finally come to believe that your gold fish are immortal and don't
 need to feed them anymore....
 _Anytime_ you call _any_ gov't agency, even if it's to find out about
this week's trash pickup, you identify yourself as "George Hale"...

                        by: various contributors

PS: The ones from "You shine a blue light/tape an X" to "You search
through old OMNI magazines" are the first, the ones I made.
