How do you know you’ve been on R&S too much?

Colonel Obvious AM: How do you know you’ve been on R&S too much?
Last week or so I saw a question, “We are having a baby and we would like some easy recipes…?” I thought it was something cute and quirky from R&S. It turns out it was in the cooking section… his wife was going to have a baby soon and they didn’t want to cook much after it came… Oops!

What signs do you notice when you’ve had R&S overload?

A friend of mine asked me a question and before I thought about what I was saying I said “Atheist means we don’t believe in god. That’s it.”

I had a dream once that Zero Cool and I were getting a burrito someplace.

I very rarely talk to Zero Cool. I took a week’s break right after that.

When you hang out with your friends in real life and end up having an hour long conversation about things on R&S. This happened to me last weekend (all of my friends know I’m hopelessly addicted to this place). They like to make fun of me. haha

Answer by ~RAPTOR~ Red Queen’s Son
A fake R&S wedding takes place, and you skip out of work for an hour or two so that you can attend from a computer that will let you access Y!A, just so that you don’t disappoint your R&S “mom.”

Any person that would do that is in serious need of an intervention.

*cough*

You’ve already got some great answers. I was thinking that when you have to switch over to water for the drinking questions, you’ve had too much R&S.

Answer by Pull My Finger, CIB
I love your anecdote.

I try not to take R&S too seriously, so if I catch myself e-mailing people with extended explainations or objections to some question or answer, I know it’s time to take a break. I can also tell if I’m taking it too seriously when I start getting genuinely angry about my violation notices.

Answer by Me, Thrice-Baked
ME: I’m not here too much! I’m not here too much!
PSYCHIATRIST: *Inserts needle* Just a little pinprick. I do believe it’s working, good.
ME: I’m not here too much! I’m not here too much! I’m not he… heh… rrr…

Answer by someguy
I get a terrible headache, i get bored from the repetitive manner of a lot of questions, I get angry by the frequent offended of my own belief.
“Atheist:do u…”, “Christians, plz help”, “do GOD eat…”…
and so on.
so i just log out…

Answer by Sapient
When I can scan through the list of R&S questions, refresh and scan again… and again… and realize I’ve answered basically the same questions so many times that just reading the listed question (not the extended part) starts getting me frustrated or pissy… I realize then that I’m beginning to take this place far too seriously and it’s time to take a break.

Answer by ecterbob
I saw the word “penguin” and read it as “pagan.” I thought, wow, global warming is affecting the Pagans? I’ve got to ask them about that!

Hahahaha…that’s great. 🙂

I know I’ve had too much when I begin to lose my ability to have a normal conversation with somebody without picking out the logical fallacies. 😛

Also, when you put the Bible on your iPod so you can fight fundies on the go. hahahahaha…seriously, I have the Bible on my iPod. Is that sad or what?
