...you're grading papers and when you read the term 'Miranda warnings' your thoughts immediately go to pheromones and the dance of the seven veils instead of 'You have the right to remain silent...'.
I've got others I know, but that's the one from tonight.
Anyone else?

...when you're watching a hockey game and the coach's horrendous looking tie automatically reminds you of the ones Clark used to wear on the show. I offer this as proof . And also, in my case: when offered the choice between a nice, spacious office and a small one the size of a broom-closet, you pick the small one because it has a view on Clark street... (not to mention, said office now looks like a shrine to Superman...)

I'm often tempted to do that. I do it with Friends but more people recognize those [I even throw them into fic occasionally too]. But no one except fellow FoLCs would understand something like 'Cheese of the Month'.

It's just easier to do that if you're a native English speaker. It woudn't be the same if I would translate it to Dutch. So I think I would also be more tempted to quote things if I talked English. And I can already imagine the faces if I would began talking about my 'Cheese of the Month'.

I probably speak alone, but James and I often talk about fanfic (reading and writing) when we're on dates. It's better than talking about the kids, particularly since we started reading and writing before we had children.

Yes, that first one is yours. It's the only one with that exact design. As a matter of fact, so far, I managed to not repeat myself. A small miracle, given the limited theme. Oh, and another little story from this morning in educational science classes: "Which profession does do research professionally?" Well, I was hard-pressed to not burst out with terms like 'gopher' and 'office intern' or even research assistant. I guess it's a good thing the seminar is held in German, or I might have done just that.

… when you choose your hairdresser based on the fact that the salon is called Clarke’s and are even willing to forgive the spelling mistake. Hey, people tack an ’e’ on the end of my surname all the time! You also know when you’re addicted when you start taking pictures of yourself with your underwear on and posting them for public consumption. Thanks for the link, Woody. Cute story. (I got ‘em at Topshop.) Btw steph, we expect a picture of your t-shirt when it arrives, preferably with you in it!

Not that I did that or anything. Nope. Not me. Nope, I was busy reading the Skymall catalog. Yeah. That's right.

I don't think I'm actually addicted to Lois and Clark (though I do check the message boards daily if I'm home). It's more that I'm addicted to Lois Lane, and Teri Hatcher did the best 'live action' version of her.
You might say I'm addicted to Lois Lane when you consider that I have about 12 T-shirts which have the classic Kurt Schaffenberger image on them.
You might also consider it a part of an addiction that my comic book art collection is almost entirely made up of Lois Lane sketchs and pages that feature Lois.
Someday I'd like to figure out how to create a website where I could post my Lois Lane art collection, but that is well beyond my computer skills.

When the first thing you do when you get to work each morning is check the Lois and Clark message boards for updates.
You check, Amazon, E bay and anything else you can think of to get a new Dean movie.
When your study walls are covered with pictures, posters and stuff from Lois and Clark.

...When you can actually imagine which episodes and which scenes you would use to vid absolutely every song you ever hear on the radio. OMG I do that constantly! Every song, everywhere. It's actually kind of irritating. I can see the images in my head, and sometimes I put the song on repeat because the vid becomes more clear the more I listen to the song, but to go home and actually put it together would take way too long, so I haven't vidded anything in years.  But yay for the vidathon! I'm looking forward to putting something together for the first time in a long time. ~Anna

You know you're addicted when your biggest goal in life is to read the whole lcfanfic archive (I still have about 1139 stories to read) ...and when you go to the supermarket and look at chocolate and imediately think of Lois ... when every song you have on your iTunes reminds you of the show (the latest: James Morrison's "The Pieces don't fit anymore" for Clark's feelings when he thought Lois was going to choose Scardino) It's so sad...

done I've remembered another thing that shows you have a Lois & Clark addiction: When you're playing The Sims and you realize you've just populated an entire SimLane with the characters of the show (and you're trying to marry SimLois with SimClark)...

(Er, baby not included in pic) ...And you take them to college with you. When you really wish there was an LnC themed computer game you could play. When you decide, in a fit of depseration, to try making one yourself if you only knew what you were doing.

I put Clark in Journalism and Lois in Law Enforcement. It's good to have a change in the roles (and if you reach the top of the career they can become heroes. HEHE)
Meanwhile Lex is reaching prosperity in his life of crime...

When you're watching Bones and the character named 'Clark' is shaking hands with someone and losing the battle of who has the stronger grip and you think how opposite it is from the Perry/Clark handshake.

When you name all your stuffed toys after characters from the show and you dress them up like characters from the show. Too bad I can't sew or Lois bear would have an Ultrawoman suit to go with Clark's Superman costume (which I bought from the store).

I saw a van with the text, www.lcservice.se the other day. The service provided was some kind of cleaning service. I thought to myself, yep, Clark could clean a lot of buildings awfully fast, but I can't see Lois scrubbing other people's grouts! Ann

You sit in an uncomfortable table staring at the computer screen for 10+ hours to read a single LnC fanfic.
You stay up until 8am to read a fanfic even though you have school in two hours.

When you live next to a street called "rue des Lois" (it literally means "street of laws") and you read "Lois's street".
When you're giggling in geography class because you're studying an analysis of the Kent area made by a guy named Clark.

You know you're addicted when your biggest goal in life is to read the whole lcfanfic archive (I still have about 1139 stories to read) [Embarrassed] That sounds a lot like me but have only read about 1000fics when you postpone your exam into the next semester because you read fanfics when you should learn [Embarrassed] I have to write a presentation f to write about Tibet and although it is very interesting I can't stop myself to check the boards

Ooh!! I can totally relate to that! Unfortunately I don't have the option to postpone exams... so I studied what I could (about one third of my notes) in the period of time that I like to call the panic hour (two days before the exam).-- I still don't know how, but it worked (must've been the inspiration from the fanfics)

When you are in the movie theater watching “Night at the Museum” and Rebecca says that Sacagawea was helping Lewis & Clark explore the American West, your heart skip a bit with happiness and you ask yourself “What? Lois & Clark are in the movie?”
When you do the exact same thing one year later when watching the movie on DVD, having totally forgotten who Lewis & Clark actually were.[Wow, I'm really bad at history!]
When you buy your godson a superman costume, even though you know he likes Batman better. What’s the matter? He liked it!
When you are out with said godson and takes him to blockbuster and he picks up the Spiderman Cartoon you slip in the Superman Cartoon, and blames the cash register guy for making the switch. [He is five y/o, I don’t know for how long I can keep fooling him.]
And finally, when you read Superman comic book to him instead of a good bedtime story. I think that’s why he likes me so much!

I haven't been here in years, but I just had to stop in and add to this thread (or start one if this one wasn't here!)...
I'm busy taking an online medical transcription course, which involves lots of medication names and other terminology, so we are encouraged to make lists of words as reference material - I add stuff manually as I come across it, or I dump stuff wholesale from other people's wordlists...
So just now I was searching for a particular drug that a dictator mentioned in the practice report I'm trying to transcribe, and there in my pharma list is the drug Metimyd - and off I went thinking about 'Smart Kids'!
Alas, this Metimyd is not stuff to make one smarter, as Metimide 5 did. According to my drugs manual it's a type of eye ointment, and a discontinued eye ointment, at that...
Sigh...
Onward and upwards!

/me reaches under Mel's rock and drags her back out, twirling her wildly then duct taping her to the fandom
I had something else... DH and I were talking to his mom/stepdad and some topic we hit on was something that I could have turned into a L/C conversation...
Oh - and ask BanAnna about this one... When your 3you decides to watch Rudolph [the second one, not the original better one] and you start drawing parallels between a red nosed reindeer and Clark Kent...

YKYAW you get ridiculously excited because your local radio station routinely uses the L&C theme as background music when they have people call in for their sweepstakes promotions.

When you take the afternoon shift at your job so you don't have to wait until you get home to read the new part of a fanfiction that you know will get posted at 1am.
I did this the summer Sue was writing Faustian Bargain. It was actually to avoid being late for work because I was reading and lost track of time so you see it was actually a very sensible decision.

Some fics are like that... they want me to bunk everything - work, cooking, hubby - and finish it in one go! And when it's finished, I'd wish I'd taken my time with it! I used to check the boards once or twice a day but now I do it once in a week or so... work pressure! I did this the summer Sue was writing Faustian Bargain. Speaking of Sue... where's she nowadays? Her works are definitely addictive! I hope she's back with a nice long WaFFy sexy NFic and soon! Missing her flavor in the boards!

I just remembered this one
When you read an entire fanfic on your phone because you haven't had internet service for a couple of months and have spent that long without reading a single fic and was suffering from withdrawal. (Back then my phone screen was very small but Wendy's Happy New Tears was soo worth it.)

When you get all giddy and jump up and down in your chair after you realize during the company meeting that the VP of everything has decided to use the LNC theme song as his "walking onto the stage" intro. I was probably the only one to pick up on that.

Also, when you get into a discussion about sucky fortune cookie fortunes, and you have to restrain yourself from making a certain obscure comment about good horses.

There is a commerical for a pizza buffett that talks about the Lewis and Clark of pizza and I swear they are saying the Lois and Clark of pizza.
I might go try it if I thought there was chance of seeing either Lois or Clark there!

Since I just graduated college I have to permanently move everything back into my room at home. While cleaning out my closet I found two shoeboxes full of vhs tapes with the season, episode number, and title of every single LnC episode. All I have to say is thank goodness for dvds.
Joey: If he doesn't like you, then this is all just a moo point.
Rachel: A moo point?
Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion, you know, it just doesn't matter. It's "moo."
Rachel: Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all just make sense?

You know you are addicted when you immediately think of Lois and Clark when you see this quote from New York Times: On May 23, 1934, bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were shot to death in a police ambush as they were driving a stolen Ford Deluxe along a road in Bienville Parish, La. Ann

let me see...
...when you get lines from the show and use it as your status message on Yahoo! Messenger and your friends start to ask, 'What the heck does that mean?' [I currently use 'You can fly. I can stay mad. It's a gift.']
...when you decide to have a new signature and putting Lois' name in it. [my real name is Eliza, and I make 'Eliza' to 'Elois' but I kinda blur it so that no one would notice..
...when you get so excited because Smallville's Season 8 will be in L&Cish format...
...when you see your teachers' new haircuts and instantly remember Clark's and Lois' hair from S1.
...when you get giddy whenever you hear on the radio the song 'Superman(It's Not Easy to Be Me as some call it)' by Five For Fighting.
...when you see one of the questions in a local game show says, 'What is the only element that can stop kryptonite from harming Superman?' or something like that and the contestant blurts out a very stupid answer and you shout, 'It's lead, idiot! Lead!'
A love that risks nothing is worth nothing.

When you are trying to pick out a paint color - a blue gray - and finally pick one because of its name. I have my spare bedroom painted Kryptonite. It is blue gray.
When you partition your hard drive and set up a partition to house your LnC fanfiction on. When you check it in your LnC G fic folder you have over 3,000 files and your Nfic folder has just over 900 files. And so you don't loose any of the stories you do as Clark suggests and routinely back up your files.
And yes I have added many of the names to the dictionary so I don't get that dreaded red line showing a spelling error.
