Might as well make a topic for my favorite tv show and major obsession... Fellow Whovians, gather to help with my list! I'll list a few that I've found myself doing.

You know you're a Whovian if...
-when you see an angel statue your heart rate increases and you don't look away.
-you wear a bowtie frequently, and when others ask why, you simply reply that "Bowties are cool."
-you freak out whenever you see anything with two shadows.
-your favorite band is Chameleon Circuit.
-you have auditory hallucinations of the TARDIS materializing

You know you're a Whovian if...
-you wear your celery instead of eating it.
-a cricketeer's uniform is suitable for any occasion, even combat.
-you are never completely dressed without your impractically long, multicolored scarf.
-your screwdrivers all emit a high-pitched tone when used.
-the sound of chains being dragged back and forth across corrugated metal gives you feelings of nostalgia.
-you can find practically anything in your pockets if you search long and hard enough.

We're fans of the BBC television series "Doctor Who".

Anyway, adding to the list...

-You blow all your money on Doctor Who merchandise
-You nearly got heatstroke because you walked around in a tweed jacket all day when it was 80° outside
-You become homicidal when others mistake your sonic screwdriver for a lightsaber

You meet a nice girl, and all you can speak are lines from Dr. Who...

Her: "It's nice to meet you!"

You: "It's nice to be met!"

Her: "Are you from out of town?"

You: "Yes, but not yet."

Her: "What do you mean?"

You: "Time isn't a straight line. It's convoluted. Oh, sure, there are loads of boring stuff. Like Sundays and Tuesdays and Thursday afternoons. But now and then there are Saturdays."

Her: "Uhh ... sure ... okay ..."

You: "The universe is big. It's vast and complicated and ridiculous. And sometimes -- very rarely -- seemingly impossible things just happen and we call them miracles."

Her: "Look ... it's been nice, but ... no offense, but ... you're kinda weird ... "

You: "Anybody remotely interesting is mad in some way."

Her: "Igottagobye!"

:wink:

I am not normally a dr. who watcher, but I did read something fascinating about how the video wizards are restoring the "lost" kinescoped episodes, transforming them from dull gray and jerky images to live-video full smooth motion COLOR quality, like they were recorded yesterday. :o

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard/read that . . .

Anyway . . .
You're a Whovian if:

You watch Big Bang Theory for the Doctor Who jokes
Your Tardis cookie jar has a place of honor in the middle of the table
Your Tardis cookie jar is full of jelly babies
Your mother got someone to knit you a beautiful blue Tardis scarf for your birthday
Which looks very nice in the closet next to your fourth Doctor scarf
"What's the point of being grown-up if you can't be childish, sometimes" is your motto
