    ~You can and do quote Avatar episodes with your??loved ones??WORD-FOR-WORD and you freak people out at Wal-Mart when shopping together because your husband looks at you and declares??(rather loudly) after finding his favorite snack food, 'The Lotus Tile was in my sleeve THE WHOLE TIME!' (yeah, that really happened)

    This really had me laughing.

    This one sounds great, never thought about sushi and chili together though.

    For some reason the parrots start squawking to be fed.

    you take up head-banging to shorten the wait between episodes...

    take sleeping pills every night cause you can't sleep while thinking about Avatar

    you develop cancer from extreme inactivity and constent eye-exposure from over watching Avatar...



    Yeh I'm with the last one: I think I going blind from being on my computer searching for new Avatar (anything) all the time and from watching the episodes over and over and over and over again.

    You know you're obsessed with Avatar when...

    ... while bored at work you invent the rules for Pai Sho.

    ... you send an email to earthking@earthlink.net coming up with an endgame strategy for the Day of Black Sun.

    ... someone calls to make an appointment with you and your assistant Ju Dee replies saying, "Your request has been processed and you should be able to see him in 4 to 6 weeks."

    ... your son asks what element he is (true story)

    ... you try so hard to steer your son away from Xiaolin Showdown because your wife and you shirk away in disgust that Avatar is SO much better.

    You know you're obsessed with Avatar when...

    ... you fantasize about combining two of your favorite shows, Avatar and Iron Chef!?? Let's see...

    "Well, Fuko-san, let's see what our contestants have whipped up with today's secret ingredient: Unagi! It looks like Prince Zuko's unagi steaks have been burnt to a crisp, Aang has nicley air-fluffed his unagi souffle, Toph's unagi roll is hard as a rock and Katara is simply watching her unagi swim in the tank!?? Let's listen in to what people are saying!"

    Toph: Onions have layers, earthbenders have layers. (Toph whips her stance around and a whole onion gets chopped to smithereens in one punch.)

    Aang: The secret to a light fluffy souffle is in the mix of the egg and air. (Aang brings a slathering of souffle batter into the air and whips it into an egg whirlwind before settling back into the bowl.)

    Katara: I can't kill this?? innocent unagi!?? What did it do to me?

    Zuko: Why can't I cook anything!?? Everything I try blows up in my face!?? Uncle, why are you crying?

    Iroh: I'm sorry Zuko, it's just that, that, this onion is just too powerful! I can't stop... crying. Pass me some jinseng...

    Chairman Ozai: All of your food sucks!?? My unagi shall rule the Nations!

    "There you have it, Maki-san. It seems no matter what happens, there's just no pleasing the Chairman today. Hopefully the judges will be a little kinder. Fuko-san out for commercial."

    You're eating mashed potatoes when you suddenly start carving a shape into what appears to be an animal with six legs, horns on his head, and a floppy tail. Your wife and kid just stare at you. All you can do is look over at them and say "This means something" and then you continue with your sculpting as your family takes their plates into the living room and watch Lilo & Stitch.

    you know you're obsessed with avatar when you try to get out of going out on friday night so that you can watch the season 2 finale by telling your parents that you've broken out with a rare case of penta-pox.

    Too obsessed? You haven't seen too obsessed . . . not yet . . .

    You're TOO obsessed with avatar when . . .

    . . . you stalk and kidnap avatar's creators, tying them to your bed and breaking their ankles so they can't escape

    You consider re-enacting theories about how Azulon was murdered, or successful versions of any of the show's attempted murders (during fights) justifiable homicide . . . because it's AVATAR!!!

    You consider killing somebody who threatens your enjoyment of an Avatar episode justifiable homicide . . . because it's AVATAR

    You join the army . . . because of AVATAR

    You were once a deeply, blindly faithful follower of christianity/jewdaism/islam/etc. and renounce your religion, converting to buhddism . . . because of AVATAR

    After joining the army and being sent to Iraq because of Avatar you believe the fire nation is real, and it is Iraq, and the war in Iraq has been going on for 100 years, and you are actually fighting the followers of Ozai, and they can firebend, and you're a bender to

    You believe Avatar is real to the point that you become a danger to yourself and others, get commited to an asylum, and as the police try to arrest you, you exclaim to bystanders "SEE?!? THE FIRE NATION IS TRYING TO SILENCE ME!!!!"

    You see someone trying to warm something with their hands or warm something in the microwave, become convinced they're fire benders, and murder them

    You refer to yourself as the Blue Spirit, get a blue spirit mask and broadswords, and commit a series of armed robberies

    You re-enact every single thing on Avatar, even demanding your son fight you in agni kai, becoming angered when he refuses, and telling him "You WILL learn respect and SUFFERING will be your teacher." before torching his face and banishing him from your country, as well as casually flipping police officers over your balcony, killing them, when they try to arrest you, and laying seige to Washington D.C., referring to yourself as the Dragon of the West

    You're a child-torching, cop-killing, capital seiging, passerby-robbing, imaginary-firebender-murdering, FN-believing, reality denying, homicide-supporting, animator-stalking, show-producer-kidnapping, army-joining dillusional, convert to BUHDDISM of all religions to be that looney

    You also know you're too obsessed with Avatar when, if you ever see anything on this thread that you haven't done, you think "Hey . . . not a bad idea." and immediately do it, from hiding in the mailbox and saying it's the world's greatest superslide to having your sex partner where a blue spirit mas

    . . . this includes the things on this post

    Come to think of it, the above is not "obsessed" . . . it's psychotic

    I am guilty of all of the above, and by the time you have read this, I will have destroyed this computer, changed my name, and left the country to avoid being tracked through my IP address

    u squeal like a 6 year old when ever you hear the word Avatar.. sort of like the Pavlov's Dogs salivating experiment..

    Caution, the word Zuko illicits fainting and the words Zutara and Kataang illicit extreme violence when used at the same time :p
