Title: You know you're obsessed..
Post by SupaFireCross on Feb 16th, 2005, 5:06pm
You Know You're Obsessed with the Goo Goo Dolls When...


1. Someone saying the name John, Robby, or Mike makes your heart skip a beat.

2. Someone saying the name George, Greg, or Jason makes your heart skip a beat.

3. You see a something that is, contains, or resembles the word Goo and you do a double-take.

4. You smile knowingly at said word for at least 5 seconds.

5. When your teacher says something is wrong, you respond "But it's all right."

6. You have your teacher so well-trained that he responds to the above with "Damn right!"

7. You check the official Goo Goo Dolls website multiple times a day.

8. When it comes to this message board, the refresh button is your best friend.

9. You've held on to an old, shriveled black balloon, even though you know you should have popped it and tossed it ages ago.

10. You try to use the word I mpersonality in everyday speech (Yes I know I typed it wrong...it turns into an asterisk if you write it as one word  :-/)

11. You have multiple pez dispensers.

12. Deep Fryers make you laugh.

13. You bought or rented a deep fryer just to see if it really is possible to deep fry a boot.

That's all I can think of for now....Add more if you've got 'em!  :D

I also type 'Goo' when I mean 'good' a lot...and I probably WOULD have Pez Dispensers if they sold them here, haha.

What about when you respond to stuff with Goo lyrics...can't think of a good example but I do it from time to time...and usually get strange looks from the person I'm talking to who doesn't know what the heck I'm talking about.

HAHA, I do that all the time. I love to say:

*Sigh and a shake of the head* "What a scene..."

Oh, I thought of one...earlier today I had good news, and I just had to say:

"I love...I love when things work out..." and then laughed manically...

14. You go get your ear pierced a third time on the left earlobe just because Johnny has it done..

*cough* me *cough*

Haha, RogueUK, that's classic. The Goo songs are just so quotable.  :P

Mary, that is totally the definition of obsession. It's awesome!  ;)

You know you're obsessed when you catch yourself training your 2 yr old to say cool stuff about Goo. I tend to use the Elmo~John pics and the song Pride as good leverage   LOL

Title: Re: You know you're obsessed..
Post by Emily on Feb 16th, 2005, 9:17pm
15. You hear a bit of a goo song, and you get so excited you almost fall over. No matter where you are, you have to stay right there until its finished, even though you have the cd at home  :D

What about when you get red streaks put in your hair as an homage to Robby? LMAO.

Ok so that wasn't the ONLY reason I had it done. But it was a deciding factor.  ;)

Title: Re: You know you're obsessed..
Post by blessed_by_goo on Feb 16th, 2005, 9:45pm
Now there's a crack up...I was actually in a public grcery store bathroom and was telling my 9yr old to hurry the hell up cuz it stunk so bad in there.....well.....at that very moment GALB just HAD to come on!   Yup, you guessed it, we stood there in the stench to hear it. BLAH :( I gotta say it wasn't a pleasant experience, but I felt obligated to listen to the airtime. But the air was fowl :(

You know you are obsessed when your two year old knows certain parts in LIB, and quotes them.  Like I said in another post, I ask mine if he wants something, his answer is always 'damn right mommy'.  Or when he looks out the window and says 'mommy, goo's coming home soon'  (i wish).  I guess I'm raising him right!!!!
He plays his guitar all around the house yelling 'Broadwaaaay'  Just like in LIB.  Of course I never hear goo out much, but when I do everyone thinks I'm nutso, the world stops no matter if I'm at walmart, or in the bathroom (just like blessed_by_goo)
The worst part is I check here numorous times to see if anyone has posted any thing new in the last two minutes.  I'm pathetic.

Title: Re: You know you're obsessed..
Post by niki_u_goo on Feb 17th, 2005, 12:38am
You know you're obsessed when...you are trying to decide whether or not to get a GOO related license plate.  You stop in the middle of what you are doing and burst out singing to GOO when it comes on.

Title: Re: You know you're obsessed..
Post by blessed_by_goo on Feb 17th, 2005, 12:41am
You think you're obsessed....I run my own shop and am up half the night reading old and new posts...then don't get to bed till 3am and then fall asleep on the counter at work. NOW thats pathetic

Lets see here I'm giulty of numbers
1,3,4,5,7,8,9(I really have, used it as a bookmark :-[ )

Recently while watching a movie, the people in it were looking at train times and one of the destinations was Buffalo. My stomach did a kind of flip-flop and my friend looked at me and laughed "bet you got excited!"
Like they say, 'I'm addicted.....' ;D

I kid ye not

You can see the colour pretty well there.  :D

Yeah, red streaks were something I had wanted for ages but I was always too scared to get them done. But after joining WOG and seeing so many cool pics about the place of Robby and his rockin' red hair, I decided to go for it, haha. And I like it. ;D Thinking of keeping it. Or maybe going a different colour next time, like pink or something. I can totally see why Robby finds this so addictive.  

Hahaha I'm with you there, grace...everytime I see a reference to Buffalo I get all excited and stuff... :-[ LOL

whooooo. your hair rocks. i want mine like that but i would get excluded  :( it sucks. i mean why is having your hair that colour going to stop you doing your work -actually it would probably constantly remind me of robby which would make me think of goo songs which would lead me to sit there singing ggd in the middle of lessons - but i do that already so i don't see the problem

When Goo comes on the radio at work my manager says hey it's your boyfriend ( I wish) & turns it up,lol.

I work at a travelcenter & when Goo is in our state I have them all on the lookout for their bus...I know I'm sad,lol,but as Robby says Ya never know....

I have a VERY bad habit of name-dropping them into conversations shamelessly.. "I was listening to the Goo Goo Dolls last night and ..." :P It's a terrible, terrible habit, and one which bugs my friends immensely. Heh heh heh. They know that won't stop me!! ;D

Hey y'all...been a fan for a while, but was content to just sit back and read everyone else's posts.  Once I saw this thread I had to get up off my ass and join in....too GOOd to resist.  Anyway, you know you're obssesed when you are helping your fourth grader practice her spelling words and you make Goo connections (this happened just this morning, I swear...)
I gave her the word "confusion" so naturally I thought of "too much poison and confusion on your face" and when I gave her the word "hilltop" I automatically thought of "Flat Top."

You know you're obsessed when you see THIS on a website:

http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/momtoknm/hell_uncond_love.gif

and you see the word "GOO" instead of what it really says.


Admit it...how many of you saw GOO? LOL

Title: Re: You know you're obsessed..
Post by googirl28 on Feb 17th, 2005, 4:04pm

I must admit ---- I read "goo" initially until I went back and realized::::

I AM OBSESSED!!!!!!!       :nanner:

This particular sticker is gonna drive me F***in NUTTY, I have stared at that damn thing.....Left it and come back and I swear it says GOO too. Wierd. I have seen it before and it has said GOD, but I think its been changed for GOOd reasons.  

Title: Re: You know you're obsessed..
Post by SassyMay on Feb 17th, 2005, 5:28pm
at first glance it looked like goo but then i read it again and looked where the apostrophe(sp?) was and realized
that it was singular and made up my mind that it said God.
But the can fool the NAKED eye!

Haha, that's totally me too, you're not alone. I have it everywhere. And like someone mentioned earlier about themselves, I'm a horrible name dropper. I swear I mention the Goos in every conversation somehow, no matter how far of a stretch the connection may be.

And I love that bumper sticker quote.  :gflower:

Hehe, I really wanted to use that gutterflower smilie at least once!

Hehe, my friends don't punch me, but they certainly make it clear that they don't care.

Another sign you're obsessed: You have Goo related dreams...

...a lot.

Yeesh, I love them so much they even invade my sleep. I had a sweet one last night, but one time I had a dream that I met John and asked him for an autograph, and he said "No!" and ran away. I woke up very traumatized.

LMFAO. It says Goo! And yes, I agree, eternal hell DOES wait those who question Goo's unconditional love. Hahaha.

Goo does love us unconditionally, of course. There's a bit on LIB on the audio commentary where John says "Hey man, don't **** with our fans..."

Yeah, you tell 'em, John! �;)

That sticker says GOO, I don't care what anyone else says...........
My friends are so sick of me coz its like every evening, "I read the funniest thing on the internet" "If its about Goo we don't want to hear it Grace," "But its reeeeeally funny" "WE DON'T CARE"

(they secretly love hearing these inane ramblings, sometimes I catch a sly smile when I tell them a Goo story, but the always deny it...)

You know you're obssessed when your sample sentences for Syntax revision are all Goo related.

"Mike went for a run yesterday"
