11 months ago, I wrote my first wreck-listed diary You Know You're Addicted To DailyKos When.... We've had a very eventful year since the first diary, so it's time for a part two. Be sure to read the first diary before this one, so we can fully diagnose your addiction. ;)
You know you're addicted to DailyKos when...
...you giggle and think of your doctor when you eat chicken.
...Glenn Beck is old news to you.
...getting a diary/comment rec'd by Meteor Blades is still exciting as hell.
...three or more misspellings in a diary = instant troll.
...anyone with a UID higher than 3 = instant troll.
...you're smart enough to hit CANCEL when you find yourself typing "I know I'm gonna get HRed for this, but..."
...you can write a dissertation about the pootie-to-text ratio.
...you've been involved in no less than three totally stupid controversies.
...in your view, April Fools Day will forever live in infamy.
...you know to look for snark tags before reading beyond the title.
...the O'Donnell/Coons debate was better than watching your child's birth.
...you hold 20 opinions about DK4, and they all conflict.
...you know who Demon Sheep is.
...LaFeminista, Colorado is the Shiznit, triciawyse and other prolific Kossacks have more name recognition with you than George Washington.
...you miss the days when trolls were creative.
...you've gotten no less than 3 rightwing hate smears in your email.
...you don't know the real name of your favorite Kossack, but you know their pet's life story better than your own.
...you're a pietarian.
...you know the Flame War Cycle (TM):
1 - Catalyst diary
2 - Counter diary
3 - Another counter diary
4 - Counter diary to the counter diary
5 - "I'm not getting involved, BUT..." diary
6 - Snark diary
7 - Snark diary rebutting the snark diary
8 - 35 minutes of peace
...Cenk Uygur is more of a hot-button issue for you than a gay abortion doctor smoking pot in a gun shop.
...you have mojo-whoring down to a science.
...your idea of Friday night fun is perusing the hidden comments.
...you know that comment threads more than 5 comments long are either deeply personal conversations or HR-fests...or both.
So...are you an addict? Do you know someone who is an addict? Don't worry, we're here to help.
