You know you're addicted when you NS General becomes your only news source -- and you think your friends are nuts because they don't know who Alito is..

Of course, that's just a sign that your friends are pretty out of the loop news-wise..

Never saw that movie. Are there really scrotum-seeking attack weasels in it?

Well if there are, I claim independent development of the idea. Me and my weasels have been around for quite some time. *nod*

Yes There Are. They Are Handled By Two Russian Mobsters. And Unless Your Weasels Have Been Around Since The 80's, Well, The Movie Made The Idea.

finding yourself making end-of-uni-term excuses sounding something like "umm yeah so I failed these exams because I preferred to spend all my time on NS..but..you know..I only do it for the educational value, it's in English, you know, and all kinds of, umm, intellectual discussion, and stuff"

also, change in reaction to the stubs "do you have issues?" or "in g-/General" or, well, "NS" (coming from Germany, where NS is the acronym to label anything Nazi with)

You know your addicted to NS general when it is your only news source, it is your only topic of conversation, you ask for advice that you have no where else to go with. e.g. what to get for valentines day.
AH NS i love it!!

When you've been posting here (in one form or another) since June '03.

When you haven't seen anything new in two years or more, and yet you still keep coming back.

I had my first NS General dream early this morning, there was a troll who was messing with me, and for some reason we all met IRL for the Mods to try and work it out. I don't remember much about how the meeting went, but I do remember Simonist saying "look troll we can play your game all you want, but if you don't stop being an asshole to Smunkee, there won't be a NS General for you to post in because we will all leave"

and then the troll's head exploded :D

I remember the troll's country name, I searched it today, no country found...weird.

Ah yes, when you begin dreaming about posters whom you've never even seen. About 3 months into my NS joining, someone said "Peechland! I had a dream about you last night" and .....proceeded to tell it in detail. It was odd to me then. That is of course until month # 6 when I had a neat little dream about me and 3 other NSers sitting in the coffee house Central Perk (yes I'm a big Friends fan)having a conversation about what to legalize and what not to.

I think they should take 8 NS Generals and put them in a house for 6 months and see just how real it gets.

I think that is considered cruel and inhumane punishment and/or torture.
with a possible side of murder.
