30 Signs you are a "Sliders" Addict

1. You look at your TV remote to check the time.

2. Whenever you travel, you always look for a Chandler or Dominion Hotel.

3. You have an urge to plan your vacation around a visit to the Universal Studios backlot.

4. You believe that your or your neighbor’s swimming pool would look cool if you can figure out how to make a giant whirlpool.

5. Every time you see a whirlpool in your toilet or in a sink, you have an urge to jump in.

6. You are reading this list.

7. You have the urge to yell, “Go, go, go” every time someone counts down to zero.

8. You jump through a hula-hoop to simulate jumping into a vortex.

9. You coax your friends to throw you into bushes, concrete, trees, sides of buildings and grass to simulate exiting a vortex.

10. You bought one of those clocks that count down to the year 2000 and you reset it to count down to the final four season five episodes.

11. You have another reason to fear hypodermic needles.

12. You get really nervous if you are more than 400 miles away from your home.

13. You try all the ATMs wherever you go just to see if your bank account increased.

14. You constantly nag your parents, siblings and relatives to make sure there aren’t any relatives you don’t know about.

15. You are on the constant lookout for Wade, Colin, the professor, Logan and Colonel Rickman.

16. You can name an episode in the first 5 seconds it comes on. For the severely addicted, you can name that episode when you see the vortex.

17. You never go to see the fish in a pet store because it’s too emotional for you.

18. You base your decisions on what Quinn and company would do. Majority rules. For the severely addicted, you break it down by seasons.

19. You attempt to steer all conversations to “Sliders.”

20. Every time you hear the words wade and professor, you get emotional.

21. When someone asks you where you are from you respond by saying Earth Prime, PTSS world, Azure Golden Gate Bridge World or Earth (insert number here).

22. When you get angry you say “Blistering idiot.”

23. You call every person you dislike: Kromagg, Magg, Kromaggot or Humags.

24. You have an urge to add to this list after you finish reading it.

25. You pick a character to be that day and stay in character no matter the circumstances.

26. When you watch an episode, you turn off the volume because you know all the words.

27. You hold up cue cards to the TV so that the actors can read their lines.

28. You write down all the dialogue because your VCR tape is almost worn out.

29. Even if you have seen that episode (even one that you thought was bad) a dozen times, you still watch it.

30. You check your front gate or front door every time you come home. If it squeaks, you are home. If it doesn’t, it’s not your house.



I hope this makes your day. Do you have anything else to add?

I have a habit of bringing up Sliders where ever I go. I usually get reactions like "I used to watch that show... what it's still on the air after all these years?"

I was thinking that it was more of a recent thing but thinking back I have been doing it since I wanted to get home to watch the very first ep of Sliders. Back in the old days during seasons one and two I don't think I ever got that excited about coming home to watch tv. Well I take it back... when I was little I got pretty excited about the smurfs.

LOL!!! Can I put these on my site? -n/t

# If you live somewhere that doesn't get the episodes first, you have someone send them to you.
