You hold your hand next to your face thinking you can use your watch or wristband to turn into a superhero in a bird costume You think your airplane can also change into a much cooler looking one The only thing you ever wear is always a baseball jersey You name your dog 1-Robo-1 When you talk about a character named Dirk The Daring, the few people who think they know what you're talking about probably think you're talking about the other Dirk The Daring, and you get mad Feel free to add to the list! I've seen threads like this at forums for other animes/video games/etc, so add whatever you can come up with

hhahhaha when I am driving in the turnpike I speed my car & scream transmute! hahahahah! Oh I forgot I am

You wonder how the eagle / condor would handle a difficult situation at work - without getting yourself arrested or repremanded You wonder how to pick up a few extra hours at work , cause you saw some thing on ebay (gatch/ BOTP related) that you must have - the fate of the world hangs in the balance - the bills can be paid later Work gets in the of gatchamania time Study get in the way of Gatchamania time You compare other people to the Birdies Your dream Birdies You are trying to convert other people over to the Birdies side

I love those ones about work and study getting in the way LW! I feel that way so many times. Which is why I now bring my own laptop to work and leave it on my classroom desk. When ever I sit down for a moment I refresh my Gatchamania page and see what is going on.

You consider buying a laptop just so you can take it to work and not miss out on anything that happens on Gatchamania!

Those are good ones, LW, clouddancer and green!

Same here! At least, I work from home, but imagine me climbing up and down the stairs to our study, several times during the day, every time I have to leave some sugar work to dry for some minutes, or else timing my kids' needs hours + DH's (which I've learn by heart!) in order not to miss anything! I do, sometimes, end up with something, which may have been planned beforehand, not finished at the end of the day, though! I also realise this addiction when I dream ... in many of my dreams, someone of the SNT is present as one of the characters I'm dreaming about! ... not surprisingly, mostly Ken!! Common names to those heard in the series, being person's names, or else names of places, vehicles, etc, also trigger my ear and make me turn my head, instinctively around!

G-Force! Dun dun... dun dun... dun dun...

When you play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, you always have at least one of the three members from Gatchaman as one of your team members, or probably always have both of your team members of Gatchaman.

You hear the word "birdie" in a golfing context, and immediately you think of BoTP and Gatch. Not the mention that the same happens with the word "eagle". As far as I know, there was no "albatross" on BoTP/Gatch, so that word I can use safely on the golf course...the downside being I have practically no chance to use it as I'm not good enough to strike an albatross yet...

Somewhere, Joe is grumbling that golf's a dumb game if they can't name a good shot after the "Condor"!

You hit that on the nose.

Which is probably why he would not enjoy playing the game .... besides I could imagine it being too "tame" for someone like the Condor who would prefer extreme sports instead.

Or he'd play like Happy Gilmore and turn it into a contact sport.

Good thought, Amethyst.

Or like Caddy Shack - the Condor will be armed, no doubt. I pitty the gopher who gets in his way.

It would be like "wack-a-mole", or "shooting fish in a barrel" except using goons. I can see Ken and Joe arguing about who got the biggest tally and the best "kill of the week" as for golf - they could use debri as golf balls, with Jun adding a little bit more explosive to the impact, a "hole-in-one" could have a new meaning AH ah! fic idear - superheros and extreme sports , they could be fundraising for their favourate charities - all their skills, gadgets etc pitted against each other for TV ratings, ooohhhh Gatchaman vs Spectra , winner take all, done over several weeks (extra ratings, spectators can vote of one contestent a week, (phone in) spectra can go for extra rating (most ridiculous mecha of week, most flamboyant "Captain of the week), endless advertising) trial by media

Hee, perfect. I could see a golf game between the Eagle and Condor starting out calmly enough, but very quickly turning more "extreme"! This is probably why we never see them golf in the series -they have been banned from every course in the entire vicinity of Utoland.

LOL, I can just imagine this and am giggling like a loon. I think some people I work with think I may be a little crazy. No, I suspect they now KNOW I am crazy.

LB, I've got a fic on G-Force being asked to play golf for an intra-ISO tournament -- I wish I had thought of your twist! Maybe I'll do a Part II...

Good one, something to suggest when they update the rules again

I think a hole-in-one should be called a "Condor" -that beats a two-under-par Eagle any day!

Go for it! (Me, I should admit that I have never actually played golf in my life -I know with absolute certainty that I would be dreadfully bad at it...)
