when (couldn't fit all that in the title)...
1. You're posting here...as we need members
2. You mix in numbers with regular dialog all the time. When people keep on asking you to repeat what you just said you think they don't listen...or are having hearing problems...or both.
3. When you're having a problem with something and are on the phone with customer service, and they start giving out another number for you to call, you interrupt with "wait, should you be GIVING me this sensitive information over the phone?" or "well how I am supposed to DECODE that without a one-time pad? Huh?" For some reason they keep on hanging up on you.
4. The ringtone on your cell phone/portable device is from a melody that is played on a numbers station. You've held up elevators before by explaining it to someone asking where it's from when it has rung...then in no time flat they wished you were off the elevator once you start talking about it. People keep on pushing the "door close" button rapidly for some reason.
5. People ask what that delightful tune is that you're humming. When they say they're not familiar with what this "Lincolnshire Poacher" folk song is, and once you start explaining it, it suddenly becomes obvious (i. e. by facial expression change and/or body language, such as them running away) they don't want to hear any of this conspiracy theory nonsense. You start a sketchbook of all the variations of the "deer caught in the headlights" looks you've been receiving.
6. You find the Num5ers tv show to be a joke: why the hell make all these episodes supposedly about "numbers", yet they don't delve into numbers stations? You don't understand why people think you're weird for boycotting the show.
7. You call your wife "Rhapsody" as a pet name (and she knows what you mean by that), you want to name your unborn child Lincoln (and not after Abe) and you have a big dog named Buzz.
8. When you're in someone's car, and they turn on the radio and say "hey, I like this song", you say "you actually listen to that thing for MUSIC?" (How trite!)
9. Guests over at your house show up wearing tinfoil hats a lot...for some reason.
10. You have Radio Shack on speed dial.
11. Radio Shack has YOU on speed dial.
12. The Conet Project guy has you on speed dial.
13. You're learning a foreign language...just to figure out what "they" are saying when you catch an overseas station, the hell with better trying to better understand a foreign culture, or whatever.
14. Since you're pale and don't get out much, people keep on asking you if you play World of Warcraft (whatever that is).
15. Guests over at your house ask what these printouts are with numbers and letters on them and all. When you start explaining what "one time pads" and numbers stations are they immediately change the subject. (Guess it just goes over their heads.)
16. Like the drummer who can't have too many cymbals, you can't have enough aluminum foil, antennas, etc. attached to your shortwave radio. This stuff's important yo!
