2. Your kid yells down the stairs "Dave's hashing your new script Dad."

3. You talk to more people on the forums than real life.

4. You're an American and know Canada has a charter instead of a Constitution.

5. You work hard to get TV working then can't wait for it to go down so you have something to do.

6. For your wedding anniversary you bought your spouse a Detonator XP.

7. Instead of putting money in your kid’s college fund, you put it in the Legal Rights donations account.

8. If you wake up at your computer with a card in your hand and one still unlooping in your loader.

9. If there are more dishes in your yard than trees.

10. If the salesman at Circuit City sees you coming and calls the manager.

11. If you count all your valid Hu's at least once a week.

12. If you’re best friend calls you at 3:00 am and says he ain't got TV.

13. Your friend emails you at work to call him at ext. 745.

14. Your friends are instructed by an on-screen message to dial ext 721, ext 711, ext 732 but instead they dial your number.

15. You explain things like "hashing" or "cmd 82" to your wife/girlfriend or husband/boyfriend when you know that they will never understand.

16. You've single-handedly managed to subvert the best efforts of a large US based satellite provider.

17. If your spouse has to tell you they're using the "guide", cause when the TV goes silent, you think you got hashed.

18. If you have ten brand new RCA receivers and one HU card.

19. If you interrupt your spouses/girlfriend’s or boyfriend's favorite television program to test a card.

20. If half the icons on your desktop are DSS related.

21. If you total the amount of time and hardware costs you have in this hobby and average it out to be equal to paying $2,000 a month for cable.

22. Your spouse wakes you up from a nightmare, and you're screaming, F**K YOU DAVE!.

23. Your heart skips a beat every time there is a delay when changing a channel!

24. You own all 4 versions of the same unlooper.

25. You get up early for work to see if Dave put in an overnight hash in the stream.

26. You go to move into an apartment and refuse to sign a lease on a unit that doesn't have a South West sky viewpoint.

27. You try to watch every NFL game on Sunday and consequently don't watch any because you are too busy flipping thru them to not miss anything.

28. You loop a card on purpose, just to fix it.

29. You spend more time in the chat rooms than your teenage daughter.

30. You have to explain to your kids that EEPROM is not a dance that they go to after they graduate.

31. Your buddy is hosting a Friday UFC match and you bring two 3m's and an activation just to cover your bases.

32. Every time someone asks, "what do you do to make it work" their next question is always "how did you learn all this s**t"

33. You have sleepless nights thinking about the stress P4 is going to cause and love it.

34. If you have 20 real good friends, and you've only met five of them.

35. If you test 8 scripts in one afternoon and forget which one is on the working card.

36. Every time you go out you can't wait to get back home and check the boards.

You missed the end of that...here is the rest of it with credits· You know who the Real King is
· You know when things are screwed they are FF'ed
· You constantly looking ways to improve (Screw) up your current working setup
· Your conversation with your "sat" buddy is always more than one hour long
· If you had trouble sleeping mostly every night until the HU unlooper came out
· The worst day of your life was when you left a card in a shirt pocket and your wife tells you it's in the laundry
· Some of your cards are "favorite" cards
· Someone says they are gonna get AOL and you immediately ask "why? What’s he done to you?"
· If the first time you successfully unlooped a HU you almost cried and then gave the wife a high five
· You know Pitou is not someone spitting
· If you have over 100 HU bins
· If you have a database containing all your relatives card numbers, IRD numbers, bins, current scripts, and where their equipment is in their house
· You know RAM9999 isn't Dodge's newest truck
· You finally found Kryptonite and stayed up all night playing with it

- You begin to reconsider this hobby because of shows like 'Boy meets Boy' and 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy'.
