105) You have such a good story to post on Hatrack... the only problem is it didn't actually happen in real life. Darn RL, it won't keep the pace!

114) You get in your car and realize there's nothing good on the radio; you then wish that there was some way to have threads on hatrack read to you in the car while you're driving.

115) When reading the thread title about your favorite board game, you think, "Begging the question" only to find out it's talking about risk, monopoy, etc.

(116) You just got home from another hemisphere and you're jet-lagged out of your mind and you spend one solid hour reading the books, films, food and culture forum because somebody in the About OSC forum said that you never post in the books, films, food and culture forum and you are so tired and stupid you think it is important to prove that person wrong only you can't find a single place to post anything that won't make people wish you had stayed on the About OSC forum or in New Zealand.

(117) you see OSC posting, and stop paying any attention to The Village (it is really boring anyways) to participate in this event.

118) You see that OSC has posted on this side of the forum and use that as an excuse not to actually do any of the schoolwork you should be working on...even though he hasn't posted in an hour or so, because he might...come...back.

...you start to imagine all the threads OSC could have posted in but didn't, and wish that he had anyway, especially the kind of racy ones.

PS: OSC, um, we are thrilled you are here, and its nice and exciting, but, um, you see, if you are dead tired and just in from another hemisphere, and exhausted to the point you can't type straight...well, we will excuse your absence for 8 hours of sleep.

You do nothing but hit refresh on the forum page for hours on end.
You have a specific configuration for all the items that surround your computer seating area whenever you sit down for a "day" of Hatrack.
Your number of Hatrack friends outnumber your real life friends 10-1.
You can make a crossword puzzle with only Hatrack names... from memory... using stereotypes and experiences as clues.
You have a Tom Davidson automatic post counter on your website.
You also have a text copy of every post he made, indexed, and dated. You website also sells T-shirts that say, "Tom D made fun of me."
Your grand total of alternate names exceeds the average post count of lurkers.
Your number of landmark threads exceeds the average post count of lurkers.
You've created a historical archive thread because you thought it would be fun to dig through all that member history for superfluous data.
You were highlighted in that thread as a person of historical significance.
And finally, You know the name of every actor, composer, and director (before Petersen was a lock) who has ever been suggested for a part in Ender's Game, why each of them would be a bad idea, which ones have been mentioned so many times you want to puke, and of course, which Hatrackers would fit which parts best if they were 6-12 year olds.

You've had too much hatrack when you email your best friend (who posts on the forum) to let him know that OSC has started posting on the books, food and culture side.
You get all giggly when you see that OSC has posted in the 3 year old Begging the Question thread.
You're planning to have a party on April 19th as it is the 3 year anniversary of the Begging the Question thread.

When you're setting up to review photos with your laptop at the wedding of two Hatrackers, you find a wireless signal and attempt to see if you can post on the Rack.
I couldn't.

quote: Your number of Hatrack friends outnumber your real life friends 10-1.
When I'm talking to nonhatrackers about hatracker I usually say, "one of my friends does such and such" as in, "One of my friends lives in Alabama" or "One of my friends is a disability rights activist." Even though I've never actually communicated with either Belle or sndrake personally.
You check hatrack, then you check the news. If you accidentally see the news first you make sure to see what hatrackers say about it as soon as possible.

possibly when you are up til 2 a.m. after a Hatrack wedding, when you stood around impatiently upon returning home after said wedding - waiting for your husband to give up the computer so you could post on Hatrack, and when it's the switch to Daylight Savings Time so you are losing an hour of sleep already but you are up til 2 a.m. anyway.
and you've posted Goodnight Hatrack but continue to post to see what people are replying to you.

You sit up at 1 in the morning refreshing because you're waiting to see what rivka has to say to you.
Why is she always up late? I don't know. But it's good for those of us who are insomniacs in time zones to the East of her.
