How it works: finish the statement "You know you've been visiting calgarypuck.com when..."

...reading the newspaper in the morning, everything you read is old news.

...your boss registers, and has to fire you via PM

...you hear a story on the news and wonder to yourself "what would Cowperson say?"

...you challenge your colleague's statements by saying "do you have a link for that"

...when someone mentions Lanny McDonald, you think "Conspiracy Theory"

You get a news story broken to you in the OT board first.
You spend all day at work making a couple of dumb avatars for it and accomplish nothing.
..Frankly with all the choice out there, you pick this hockey forum as your home page, even when it's off hockey season, in a year it's not coming back

You hear a breaking news story on tv, come here to post it, and there is already 1 thread on the topic, and 1 fata'd thread.

you know you've been visiting Caglary Puck to long when....

you hear the word "Fata" and just assume someone was giving old information, and not refering to Rico.

This seriously happened to me:

I have a prof with the last name Peddle, and while dicussing the class with a different prof, he asked me who was teaching the class, and I accidently told him it was Adam Peddle.

You know you've been visiting CP too much when... you have 17,000 posts.

(That's about 16 a day, maybe half of which are story links for you ravenous beasts to devour.)

Gaaak!! . . . this is another post.

you hear a story on the news and wonder to yourself "what would Cowperson say?"

No comment.

Cowperson :geek:

YKYBVCPTMW...

...You start to put long sentances into first letter form (ie-YKYBVCPTMW...)
...You no longer visit that site that sounds like Fart, cause all the stories get localized comments here, but you still miss the boobies.
...You actually want to spend $20 to play an hour and a half at the saddledome with people you never met before, and you know you will tape your handle to the front of your helmet, just incase you score the highlight goal of the night, or make the bonehead play of the night.
...You've posted in this thread.

-you know why i'm a minor celeb
-and why i'm off John Davidson's christmas card list :P

Yeah, I thought you might like that.

It wasn't that long ago either, but the name recognition has stuck I guess.

Hahahahah. Thats funny. I was still new when all that stuff happened, so I assumed things like that happened all the time. Man, did you cause a lot of controversy

You know you've been visiting CP too much when.......

-A poster on here you don't know and never met hooks you up with a job (Kermitology hooked me up as an usher at the dome)

-You're the only one that thinks of CalgaryPuck when CP is mentioned. Everyone else thinks of CalgaryPlanet still.

-You find out that you are not the #1 Flames fan in the city as you once assumed you were.

-As soon as you meet a Flames in public, you post it on here.

-when your able to type in the cp address at a blazing 240 words per minute...
-when you get to a computer with an impending deadline fast approaching and your first thought is to check for new posts at cp.
-when you 'score' in other aspects of life, and you get the strong desire to see Shawnski's flashing goal lamp and hear the 'Shot down in Flames' song!
