You Know You're Addicted to MMA When -

[rightcrosslefthook]

I'll start.

-You know you're addicted to mma when you spend more time chatting on mma forums than actually working.

-You know you're addicted to mma when you start sizing up old ladies at the supermarket.

[duran]

...when you go to a party and you announce in front of everyone, "Hello. My name is duran and I have an MMA problem."

[welsh_lad_04]

...when you try and act like your an mma fighter and call yourself fedor

[duran]

...when you go to a HS or college wrestling match and every 5 seconds you almost yell out "HE'S GOT HIS BACK!!!"

[strife]

..when you go to the gym and your buddy is doing push presses, accidentally hits his chin on the bar, and you yell out "he's got him rocked!"

[brvheart]

..when you go to the gym and your buddy is doing push presses, accidentally hits his chin on the bar, and you yell out "he's got him rocked!"

all of these are good but this one made me laugh out loud!

You know your addicted to MMA when the girl scouts come to the door to sell cookies....you hear the doorbell and yell....saved by the bell....a few more seconds and I think that BJ would have submitted Hughes!!!!

[strife]

what makes it funny is that it happened to me, i almost dropped the bar and thought that to myself when it happened

[rightcrosslefthook]

...when you count the number of ways you could submit your boss. (Be honest we've all thought about it.)

[Boo]

...when you have 22+ posts a day and you spend the rest of your spare time looking up info for fighter profiles.

[rightcrosslefthook]

..when you go to the gym and your buddy is doing push presses, accidentally hits his chin on the bar, and you yell out "he's got him rocked!"

LOL! Good one strife.

[Kanablz]

When your 11 month old son drops his superman toy and catches him with his legs and you yell out" Good job son you have him in your guard".... True story LOL

I want to rob RCLH`s house just for his mma dvd collection

[Boo]

rightcrosslefthook, I think we need to do some trading. I got stuff you don't and vice versa...

First need to figure out how to convert VHS to DVD though. I have the computer setup to do it, but haven't learned how to use it yet.

You should see my antique book collection. Lots of Charles ****ens!

(I knew if tried really hard I could work in a ****ens reference. My favorite author.)

Whoa! What happened? I got censored for saying an author's name? I think the censor-bot needs a little tweaking.

A Christmas Carol is played ad-nauseam and Oliver Twist is shown occasionally during the Holidays. Nothing beats reading the books though. David Copperfield, Our Mutual Friend and Nicholas Nickleby are a few of my favorites.

[welsh_lad_04]

i dont have the attention span for most books, i need to be in the right mood to read a book otherwise i`ll read 2/3 pages an do something else

I seem to be the reader on the forum RCLH. Dig up the thread in the cafe on recommended books. I started it a while back. I didn't mention it there, but I collect the classics.

We should all admit ourselves to the same floor of the MMA wing of the Betty Ford clinic!

we better have 911 on speed dial. I have a feeling, we'd all want to show someone a move!

[Kanablz]

You know your addicted to MMA when visiting MMAWORLD.ORG 15 times a day just doesnt cut it.....and you come back for one more visit...and one more.... and are there any new threads....... LOL

[duran]

jj- that's funny! I can just picture that. All of us committed to a ward like 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' and rolling around on the linoleum floor and the nurses and counselors calling security and the rest of us saying, "no, it's cool. It's not a fight! He's just trying something he saw on Unleashed!"
Which reminds me of a funny story. My daughter had a problem in school - got assaulted, no injury. Anyway, I wrote a nice, formal business letter to the Principal complaining about security and requesting an audience with the guy. I did not get a response. About 2 weeks later, I got dressed up in a suit and divebombed him cold at his office. His persona at the school is a tough, no nonsense guy that the kids don't mess with. He is in fact a nice guy and very professional. He is also a former HS wrestling coach and an NCAA wrestling referee, which I knew, and I have been to several dozen meets over the years where he was the zebra. A few week prior to me divebombing him, he had reffed at the NCAA D-I meet, which is a huge honor. I go into the office and tell the secretary that I am here to see the guy. I tell her my name, she goes back and tells him. I see him walk from one office to another and I can tell he is prepping for a fight. I am cool as a cucumber, almost smiling, because I know he has probably argued with parents his whole career and is expecting a fight and I know this is going to turn into a bs session about wrestling. I just knew it. Plus, my brother is a Principal and I am not about to go and give a Principal a hard time. He summons me back, we shake hands, introduce ourselves, and I hold up my one hand in a fist and point to him with my other hand (the referee's signal for stalling) and I say, "You know, I've been watching you from matside for the last 20 years and always wanted to do this to you!" Bam! It was off to the races talking about wrestling for about a half an hour because of the 'secret wrestler's handshake'! We were talking about specific controversial calls that were made in the recent D-I meet and he gave me some great insight on some stuff. Several times we were on the carpeted floor of his office demonstrating moves!!!! It was one of the years that Josh Koscheck was wrestling at Edinboro and I remember him saying that Kos was a nice kid and very respectful. (One of the reasons I am a big Koscheck fan). After about a half hour of this, we're like, 'okay, this thing with my daughter...' We did get it straightened out and I remain friends with the guy.
Am I a bad parent?

[rightcrosslefthook]

jj- ....Am I a bad parent?



Are you a bad parent? Are you kidding me, that was a perfect tactic. You pulled a Ben Franklin. Franklin said to persuade someone you must first agree with the other guy's position and then show them where they are wrong (obviously I'm paraphrasing here). You went in and found common ground with the principal, had a enjoyable conversation, and then let him know you wern't satisfied with the way the situation with your daughter was handled. Sounds as if it worked. Well done:thumb:

Nothing short of brilliant my friend. Interesting little tidbit about Kos too.

:lolbeat: So you're packed in tight with a stranger on a tiny bench and your greeting is 'Do you like mma?'. That's like saying 'Hey, I noticed we're packed in this little bench like a couple of sardines...uh...you like to fight?'. I literally laughed out loud when I read your post.

Every night your wife or significant other comes home and says (Seriously first words out) is there another fight on tonight? I always stick a tape of a rerun in if there is not another fight on and watch it she then says haven't we seen these two fight before and I reply na I don't think so. Then when the fight is over I say you know what I think so!

Cheer up bub. You should have heard me today, telling anyone who would listen about how my friend had his first mma match. And although he didn't win he he fought like heck and did a great job. It was as if you were my little brother or something.

*Oh great rclh, they all think you're creepy now.*

I'm not so sure about that.

You know your addicted to MMA when you know when the next Shooto, DEEP, or ZST card is, and you are excited for it.

[OMNIpotus]

...you make it a point to tell your wife about the Top 10 list you made in response to an article named "Cro Cop not returning the UFC's calls" (7. They have phones in Croatia?).

[OMNIpotus]

Shoot, thought of a better true example. You know you're addicted when you and your wife were disappointed that you didn't schedule your honeymoon around UFC 50 (February '05). I think we missed it by a week and were really disappointed that we didn't think ahead so we could just lounge around and watch UFC on our honeymoon.

[Boo]

^^^Oh yeah, that's a good one.

Double post prevented :) see post below
So its true, cauliflower ear is a turn on! Time to go hit my head on the floor some more.

UMM Just cause I like it doesn't mean most women will-- TRUST ME!!! It took my friend about 2 years before she could even look at it. I kept telling her I thought she'd like Randy Couture and it took until just before his Tim Sylvia fight before she noticed him. She hated cauliflower ear and now she really likes a guy with it.

[Grabaka]

When you wake up at 4 am to watch K-1 and other japanese MMA live on the net. =)

[OMNIpotus]

...when you have a detailed list in your head of why you have lost all respect for Matt Hughes *snort*

[brvheart]

when you are sitting at work on the Friday before the UFC and can't wait for it to happen, you are day dreaming then some ask you a question and you yell out "LET'S GET IT ON!!!!"

[jegray]

You know you're addicted to MMA when you dream about fighting and front stomp your girlfriend out of bed and follow up with a right cross to her pillow without waking up.

[Mastiff_owner]

[Ramma]

You're addicted to MMA when...

You see the word pride, and change it to PRIDE in your head, because it doesn't look right otherwise.

You try to count how many fighters you can name in one sitting and it exceeds 200 fighters.

[welsh_lad_04]

You're addicted to MMA when...

your in class and all you can think about is fights you`ve seen and your replayin them in your head or thinking about how up and coming fights are going to end

[welsh_lad_04]

You're addicted to MMA when...

[rightcrosslefthook]

I love this thread!

[Boo]

You're addicted to MMA when...

you have an oversized (huge) 8-sided play pen for your son and keep calling it his cage. True story. My daycare provider cracked up yesterday when I referred to it as his cage. I think she is envisioning a different type of cage than I am.

[Boo]

:bump:

[brvheart]

you know your addicted to MMA when you bump old threats that help explain how Addicted you are to MMA....

[brutus]

when instead of studying or hanging out with friends from out of town you are preoccupied with what is going on in teh forum you frequent and feel the need to get back to your computer as soon as possible.

[NDshotokan]

Speaking of that cage thing, my wife and I are expecting our first baby and I was telling a fellow MMA junkie friend of mine that I need a mini UFC cage for my kid. I'd put gloves, head gear, a heavy bag, ect in there. Forget leaving your kid in front of the TV for a few minutes while you take care of something, just put him in the cage!

Okay, I'm a dork. But I think it's a good idea. :)
