You start daydreaming, then you get up and start jumping and punching like Mario and characters in other games.

"You can''t kill a real American hero, you rube!

All you think about at school/work is what you are going to do in a GCN game when you get home.

You mime playing with the GCN controller when the GCN isn't even turned on or even when you are miles away from it.

You buy another GCN so that you can play in different places without having to move the console.

You buy Player's Guide for games (some for games you don't even have) so that you can read about GCN games when you can't play.

All you use your computer for is to lookup or talk about GCN info.

You take the handle of the GCN so it will more easily fit in your backpack.

You have two TVs in the room you play GCN.  One for the GCN and the other for the GBA.

You buy a LCD screen and DC adapter so you can use your GCN on the road.

You see a new game online for half the price at your retail store, but buy it for full price so you can have it NOW.

You try to hook your cell phone into the GCN.

You try to figure out how Nintendo codes the GCN disc so you can copy or play them on your PC.

You sell your (insert name of item here) because you need more room for your GCN games.

You go to a movie and all you can think about is what a GCN game based on it would be like.

You hold meetings at school/work on how to convert PS2 and Xbox owner to the GCN.

You post dozens of "Ways to know you're playing Gamecube too much" in a forum.

Sometimes when I'm listening to the TV while doing my homework and they're talking about something I sometimes start unconsiously writing down what they're saying.  By the way, Luigison, do you know about a town called Lompoc somewhere in your vicinity?

When you write a school report on it.

When you have the ability to use two controlers at once and fight yourself on SSBM.

When you develop a superhero named Marioman.

You dress up as Mario for your prom.

You grow a thick, black, curly mustache.

You get plastic surgery to make your nose as round and big as a baseball.

You had a heart attack when SSBM came out.

You want the GCN so much that you start licking the glass in front of it.

You're too busy to sleep.

Yes, Mario Master, I just got back from Lompoc.  We also went to a Danish Village and saw Ostriches on the way.  I actually lived in Lompoc last year.  Did you see the huge American Flag made out of flowers they planted there?

When see an Ostrich you think of SMB2.

Your "bedtime lullaby" is a song from a video game. (Hopefully you're singing/playing/humming it to someone else, and not the other way around. lol)

You programmed the clocks in your house to play the Animal Crossing town theme on the hour, every hour.

You ask your pets if you can do chores for them.

Your pets wear clothes and complain about the music.

Your pets ask you to write them a letter.

You *DO* write them a letter.

They respond. --And even give you a present.

You ask the raccoon in your yard, "What's for sale today?"

You BUY something from it.

A mole wearing overalls and holding a pickaxe constantly badgers you about the things you do that he doesn't like.

You plant bags of money in your yard to see if it'll grow into a money tree.

You rearrange the funiture in your bedroom to have good Feng Shui.

Your LUCK improves upon this.

You visit the beach every day in hopes to find a seagull named Gulliver--even if you live no where NEAR a beach.

You've developed a sad taste for the color purple.
You have a stack of burned cds 6 inches thick of mario music.
Your colledge thesis is about religious hints and innuendos carefully hidden in all gamecube games.
Your thesis is so convincing that your proffesor actually believes it.
You actually attempted, and succeeded, to buld your own poltergust 3000/FLUDD.
Your boyfriend/girlfriend is actually yourself using two identities on a mario message board.
You went to enough bother to create a petition for a mario theme park.
Enough people signed to have it build.
You recieve e-mails from the guys at NOA, telling you that your incredibly varied knowledge of random gamecube trivia is "Just plain creepy, man."
You read through three pages of this kind of post just to see what kind of stuff people will put on it.

The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

When you have every freakin' nintendo system that has ever came out (including the 64DD) and all the games.

You go insane from nintendo withdrawl.

You create an accurate model of Link's items and wardrobe.

You see a little X in the dirt of your backyard.

You dig up the X with a golden shovel.

Check it out!  You dug up a Mega Bowtoid!

You post a bulletin board in the middle of your town and post that you buried things in one of the F acres.

You think that shooting stars can talk so you yell "Hi, Twink!" everytime one shoots across the sky.

You dress up like a shyguy whenever you play golf/tennis.

You start jumping on your brothers head.

You start racking up points while jumping.

You gain a 1-up after stomping him 8 times.

You kick your little brother and he slides across the floor.

Your little brother rebounds off the wall and hits you in the legs, causing you to shrink.

You jump on your little brother whilst he's sliding and surf around your house.

You start eating the green mushrooms growing on the tree in your backyard.

You jump of the roof afterwards to see if your "extra lives" work.

They don't.

They DO.

You jump 10 feet to your neighbors house.

You tear up one of your mom's roses 'cause you think it's a fire flower.

It WORKS.

You tear up all of your mom's vegetables hoping to find a rocket.

You FIND ONE.

You turn your friend into a picture.

Everytime you do something wrong you tell people you we're possessed by a boo.

If I had a dime for every time someone called me forgetful, I''d... um... What were we talking about again?

You wear use a cape instead of a parchute when skydiving.

You've actually created a stack of Mario Music.(No foolin'! I really have no life!)

You try to swindle a small child into creating addictive micro games from old video games.

You actually succeed in swindling the small child, and earn MEGA money!

You go to jail because you sold the copies of the micro games.
