Every time you see ANYTHING (trains are most common, but I�ve seen clothes and even picture frames) with the words �Santa Fe� on it, you burst out into song.
You find a Y-shaped stick or twig and run around pretending to �shoot� people while giggling merrily, �I�m Spot Conlon Ain�t I intimidatin?
You honestly begin speaking with a New York accent by complete and total accident, but everyone you know refuses to believe that it was in fact, accidental.
Your family is so used to you responding to the question �How did you sleep?� with Jack�s line, that when you ask them the question, they reply, �On me back Mush �
You teach a four-year-old the song �High Times, Hard Times�, tell him to say �I�m the King of New York� when he is on high places (rocks, benches, tables). One of the games you two play is �Get your tires at Mush Meyers� (Thanks to Newsiefreak for the original quote) which consists of rhyming objects with names... ie.. �Get your frames from Mr James.� Get your car, at the bar, etc...
As a birthday present, you give a friend a newsie hat! ^_^
When discussing your birthday plans with your mother, you ask if you can have a Newsie - themed Birthday Party. She merely stares blankly at you. "How did I know you were going to ask that?"
Any time you hear the word "ambassador" you giggle maniacally...
You get irrationally ticked at the new movie, Superman Returns, because they mispronounce Pulitizer as Pew-lit-zer. ARRGH!
When you get angry at someone, you threaten to soak 'em. (And if they know what you are talking about, they get scared)
You email your newsie friends pics of their favorite Newsies
You sprain your ankle, and are forced to use a crutch. The first thing your friends do is kidnap your crutch and say, "Look, I'm Crutchy!" (Gee...Thanks Tricky! ^_^ )
You teach yourself the games that the Newsies played on the set. (watch the extras on the DVD).
You were absolutely psyched when you realized that one of the aforementioned games was a game that you played when you were little! (And of course, you immeadiately took up the sport of hand games afterwards....)
Anytime some poor, unknowing person, accidentally quotes Newsies, or says something similar to a quote, you immeadiately burst out in the line that comes after it.
Anytime someone asks, "So what's that get ya?" You immeadiately burst out into "Lookityou, glumb and dumb!"
You have gotten in trouble for any of these things.
Whenever you find your self in an uncomfortable circumstance (getting questioned on what you bought someone for Christmas, etc.) you immeadiately change the subject by blurting out Newsie dialouge.
People now assume you are insane because of that tendency to burst out in dialouge or song.
No, no, people now believe you are insane.
You get woken up by someone. Your first words? "I didn't do it!!"
You dress up as an Italian mobster. With a newsie hat. Look - I'm Racetrack 10 years later!!
You are told to tell good-bye to someone you don't particularly fancy. Its all you can do not to say, "Bye Pooface!"
Your Newsie hat is part of your very being. Your friends take it off your head and try it on; you pretend to faint and fall down. You forget that you are standing on concrete. Ow.
You begin to tip your hat to ladies, because its what Newsies would do.
You swear that you saw Bill Pullman in CVS, in the check out line.
You forget that swearing at people like Newsies did, isn't as bad as modern day swears, so they don't have too much effect.
You watch the movie with someone who hasn't seen it before and you sigh, "I Guess I can't fast forward the Pulitizer scenes, huh?"
While watching the movie in the aforementioned situation, its all you can do to keep from quoting the movie ahead of time.
Even your older brother knows who the Delancey Brother's are, and that the sewer must have backed up overnight, because you have played the CTB scenes on your TV so much.
You are teaching a four year old how to make a kazoo out of wax paper and a comb. You start playing CTB on it, and soon the little kid is as well.
You can play Santa Fe and KONY on the Piano, from memory without sheet music.
Thats all you know how to play on the piano.
You send all your friends a valentine from the newsies.
You send yourself a valentine from your favorite newsie.
You've given up denying that corner of your room is not a newsies shrine... (so what if you light tea candles in front of your Newsies DVD?????)
If you block a hall and ask for a "password" people answer "Newsies" without hesitation.
You find yourself in any situation and ask, "Now what would Racetrack (or any of the newsies) do?"
You are a firm believer that any day is good if you've eaten pie or sausage.
You are eating pie, when you stop, sigh loudly and remark "Wouldn't David Sidoni be proud?"
You've seen almost (or) every movie a Newsie is in, just because a Newsie is in it.
You really didn't like RENT that much, but you own the soundtrack and the DVD. Your excuse? Aaron Lohr and Kevin Stea are in it!
You think of Newsies as your inspiration in finishing any kind of unpleasant work... ie, "Wouldn't the Newsies be proud of me for finishing this?" or "I will watch Newsies the moment I finish this!"
You are dyeing Easter Eggs and you make a newsie egg.
You become obsessed with the Monkees because Aaron Lohr was in a biopic about them.
Everytime you see anything Batman (which is a lot, when your family are HUGE comic book fans), you shriek - "look, Christian Bale!"
Your MP3 player is constantly playing Newsies... even when you try and put another song on. (although, why would you want to? ~_^)
Your Most Played song on Itunes? Carrying the Banner at 413 and counting!
Your Second Most Played Song? King of New York at 273!
And those are followed closely by the rest of the soundtrack, the Goofy Movie Soundtrack (Aaron Lohr), The Lion King on Broadway (Max Casella), and the Music Man (Max Casella). (And D2: The Mighty Ducks, just because Aaron Lohr was in it! :) )
You're sitting in church, trying to be holy and concentrate and the reading says that people should be "ambassador's of Christ"... you can no longer retain composure for the rest of Mass.
Your life was made complete when Neil Patrick Harris wore a newsie hat while hosting the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade (2007), and he said he was auditioning to be a Newsie.
And then you remember that he is friends with Max Casella since they both were on Doogie Howser!! Could it be Neil had Max in mind when he said that??
You watch little kid movies like Pocohontas and Dinosaur, just cause a Newsie did the voice for a character.
You sewed up a newsie plushie just so you could cuddle with it.
Your Newsie doll has to watch the movie with you... always.
You wish you had been born ten years previously so you could date a newsie.
Your teacher recommends that you major in history, particularly the Edwarian Era and the labor movement, mainly because you know so much about that time period.
You work all summer as a costumer for a play, and you personally ensure that Newsie hats appear in the play.
Suspenders are the most awesome thing ever... especially if they are red.
You photoshop your friends and yourself into screencaps of the movie.
You own the novelization of Newsies.
You own the extremely hard-to-get Newsies Newspaper promotional item.
You own a copy of the script.
You own BDHONS
You know what BDHONS is...
You're a member of the NML
You bake old-fashioned meals because this is what the Newsies probably ate.
You consider what the Newsies would like for Christmas...
Life is simply better because of Newsies.
