Break out the zac-esque green cargo pants, the taylor-esque brown shirt with blue and white stripes, the isaac-esque guitar and sneakers, and pull your shoulder-length blonde hair into a pony tail. Are some people still clueless? Carry your Middle of Nowhere song book with you.
301. Well, ya never would have worn DKNY stuff before, but, well...since you saw it on the clothing credits for RTA, you’re a little curious to see what they’ve got in your size. Err, price range...
302. You did a victory dance when you saw that Isaac had his braces taken off.
303. You make a point of ‘losing’ your retainer every once in awhile, just because he said he does,too.
304. You’ve developed a way to deal with the fact that you’ve never seen them up close and that they have no idea you’re alive. You could draw a single line from you to where they are, no matter where you are and where they are. somehow, you could make a straight line with them. Who cares if you can’t see ‘em...they’re out there somewhere, directly in front of you!
305. you find comfort in the fact that they are looking at the same moon and stars as you are.
306. when you watch Friends and South Park, you wonder if they’re watching at the very same moment.
307. You heard Isaac say he’d like to skydive. Well now you do, too.
308. Zac likes math. So you can impress him later, you jump ahead to take Calculus this year.
309. While you’re beating yourself upfor taking calculus this year, you play all your Hanson cd’s to make you feel better. You had no idea htis homework would be so tough! But,somehow...I Will Come to You makes it all go away...
310. You also were an idiot and jumped ahead to take AP Biology this year, too. While you’re studying binomial nomenclature, you think that Hanson deserves a species all their own.
311. Okay so the final case of idiot-dom (Idiocy, whatever) was taking AP English. But when you know the boys like literature, you think you might just be able to handle the class...provided they can answer a few questions for ya.
312. You talk about the current events every day at the beginning of your government class. And you just know that the day Hanson’s new album comes out, you’re going to blurt out ‘they found a cure for depression, anxiety, and all those other horrible diseases!’ and you teacher will think you’re insane and you’ll just say ‘hanson’s new album came out!’
313. You have prepared by bringing gauze and bandaids to school for that day. What, you think you can mention Hanson in school and not get maimed?
314. You’re really curious to see if Hanson will ever cuss in one of their songs. Wouldn’t that be great? Haha.
315. This really popular, cutesy dance team, gymnastics team, cheerleader girl who everybody loves cause she’s small and cute and dresses VERY distinctly came to school in a Hanson shirt. You were elated to say the least. You couldn’t figure out if she meant it as a joke, though, cause she also wore spice girl t-shirts. But you had a good day none the less. 316. You really liked this one guy who was in a couple of your classes. He was cute, he had a funky accent, and he was smart. But one day you heard him talking to his friends and he said how much he hated hanson. Ugh, what did you ever see in HIM?
317. Do you think Zoe really knows how lucky she is?
318. Whenever you’re working in the garden and pulling weeds, MMMBop pops in your head. plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose...OW! I just got bit by a bug! Oh well. Keep planting to find out which one grows...
319. When your best friend went to Seattle, you kept bugging her to go to the Space Needle, just cause Hanson did.
320. How many times, now, have you planned your wedding to one of the Hanson brothers?
321. You saw Runaway Bride and smiled the whole time cause the guy’s name was Ike. Hehe.
322. Your fingers are about to fall off from fatigue due to the fact that you spent all summer playing Hanson songs on the guitar and piano.
323. You think it’s awesome if people are lefties. Just think of how many people in this world are left handed...your english teacher, the really smart girl in your calculus class, your best friend, oh and Zac Hanson...
324. You watched the Miss America pageant and first of all were kinda mad that Miss Oklahoma didn’t make it. Then, you realized Donnie and Marie Osmond were hosting the thing, and just kept thinking, ‘they met Hanson! They met Hanson!’
325. When you took the HUGE MONSTER ALL-IMPORTANT AP History exam that you were scared out of your mind to take and fail, you wore a Hanson t-shirt underneath your sweater for good luck. Well what do ya know. You passed!!! Take that evil Mrs. Dubin! Score one for the Hanson fan!!!!!!
326. You’re thinking of wearing that shirt again when you take the SAT’s for the second time. And what about all those other tests that come at the end of the year? Coincidence that the shirt is lucky? I think not. I’m just a Hanson fan:)
327. You go around randomly to people saying ‘do you like food? I like food. oh, sorry, wrong video. I thought we were doing like, Martha Stuart does...food...’
328. Oh, to be Mackenzie and Zoe’s babysitter...
329. Whenever you see one of those ‘when good things go bad’ shows on Fox, you can’t help but think of Zac yelling ‘WHEN COUCHES ATTACK!!! PART 3!!! Next on Fox.’
330. You hear that Mambo #5 song, and when he’s naming all the girls and he says ‘jessica’, you think -hey! I wonder if Jessica Hanson has ever heard that.
331. What religion are those boys, anyway? You’re willing to convert...
332. Or you could make up your own relgion. Jesus Hansonism? Hanson’s witnesses? Hansonism?
333. You’ve gotta do a lyrics project for english, and show an example of song lyrics that can be read as poetry. Hmm, which would be better- Weird, Don’t Accuse, or Yearbook?
334. You have explained to your parents the necessity of getting an electric guitar. Somehow, the words ‘Isaac has one!’ didn’t really go over too well.
335. Yes, you saw that episode of Fox’s ‘Family Guy’ cartoon where they killed Hanson. Evil. Pure evil.
336. Your are having a family conversation and somebody says something about a foreign planet. Your dad says 'where, Albertane?' and you just can't help but give him a hug.
337. You've got a 4 day weekend to do college applications and TONS of homework, but all you can manage to find time to do is work on your Hanson website/fanfiction/poster arrangement/info hunting.
338. You've just got this...thing. You can't bear to have your hair shorter than the Hanson's. (nikki:)
339. You laughed your way through The Blair Witch Project because they kept referencing Hanson stuff (sort of.) You noticed the gag with the bag of marshmallows, and when they were getting lost, they kept saying ‘we’re stuck in the middle of nowhere!!!’ ah, that was funny;o)
340. You think it’s too cool that the Limp Bizkit song ‘Show Me What You Got’ mentions both cities of Tulsa and Milwaukee.
341. You have your parents’ credit card number(s) memorized so you can order merchandise and/or concert tickets online at a moment’s notice. (no more waiting too long to get tickets and getting stuck in the back row with THIS tour, thanks very much.)
342. You make snow Hansons when you get a snow day off from school. Now, this could be interpreted two ways: You can make a snow angel and say ‘Hanson are angels, so a snow angel is interchangable with snow Hanson!’ Or, you make snow men, but instead of giving them corn-cob pipes and a button nose, you give ‘em tree branches for guitars and drumsticks, and use straw for the blonde hair. (And the neighbors sure get a kick out of it, too;o)
343. You bought the March 2000 issue of YM magazine just for the full-page Hanson ad for their new cd.
344. You have planned ‘La Menu de la Disque Nouvelle’ (The New CD Menu;o) for the day of May 9, 2000: breakfast of ‘fruit and CANDY’ with a glass of milk. Lunch of the infamous green jell-o, mixed with marshmallows and red jelly beans, with a good side of Dr. Pepper. Dinner of Risotto and/or Pho Bo (check MOE Issues 5 and 6) with a desert of Tiramisu (check MOE #4). Don’t forget your second glass of milk for the day! Snacks munched throughout the day include, of course, Twinkies with the third glass of milk (as directed to us by Hanson, of course;o), and Pull’n’Peel Twizzlers, Pringles, and Milk Duds. (Those are all typical Hanson foods…eaten in their habitat of Z100 in New York City…oh geez far be it for me to explain. They ate all that stuff in an interview, okay? Hehe;o)
345. You are in desperate need of a 12-step program to get you clean from your addiction to Hanson.net. Really.
346. You cheered really, really, *really* loud (and it felt good, dammit) when you saw Hanson on ET in late january. Finally! The coverate/publicity drout is over!!!
347. You could not help but love this book your friend got you for Christmas, called ‘Where the Heart Is.’ It takes place in Oklahoma, and there’s a guy named Taylor in it.
348. Oh, and that friend who got you the book? She was just converted to a Hanson fan, thanks to your inginuety to make her a mix tape full of Hanson songs.
349. Well, you know it would be really terribly horribly *excrutiatingly* mean to make the fans wait for one more week for that new album, but…if it came out one week later, it’d be on your 18th birthday, and man, what better way to celebrate becoming a legal adult than to listen to Hanson reclaiming their rights as the world’s best pop/rock performers ever?
350. You could think of no better way to spend that birthday. At all. Except perhaps meeting them in person, but, well…that’s a bit much to ask, isn’t it?
351. Wait a minute! You’re entitled to meet them for your birthday, you’re one of their biggest fans, dammit!
352. You thought it was kinda funny how the song ‘come with me’ that puff daddy did for the godzilla soundtrack has these phrases in it: ‘forever…and a day’ and ‘boomerangin’. Hehehe;o)
353. You also thought it was kinda funny (albeit very randomly linked to Hanson) that the song ‘Down Rodeo’ by Rage Against the Machine, one of the lines is ‘the verbs fly like the Family Stone’- and hey, Rose Stone of Sly and the Family Stone guest appeared on Hanson’s new album…weird Rage/Hanson connections just make you smile a bit;o) Not to mention it’s cool that the lead singer guy is named Zack (with a k, though…) and he’s a drummer- see? Look, Zac musta started a trend;o)
354. And so you conclude that if you want to become a drummer, because Hanson has inspired you to find your inner musician, you must legally have your name changed to Zac.
355. You couldn’t stop smiling in Calculus the other day because one of the problems was about trying to find how fast a guy named Tay was driving his car. Really! The math book said his name was Tay.
356. You had to read a short story for AP English, and you burst out laughing and smiling cause one of the character’s names was Isaac Clarke.
357. While you’re skiing, you fight as hard as you can to build up the courage to go from the bunny slopes to the intermediate hills, because dag nabbit, if Hanson could do it, so can you!
358. While you are at home nursing a twised ankle and bruised rear-end accquired from your daring attempt to be a Hanson-level skiier, you don’t want to do anything except listen to the new album clips from hansonline to make you feel better.
359. If you don’t hear those clips at least once a day, you get violent.
360. Your father, evil man that he is, has recently taken to saying ‘wow, hanson blows! And they suck, too!’ and he makes noises like wind blowing whenever you’re playing one of their cd’s or wearing a hanson shirt. And so you’ve recently taken to fatherly abuse.
361. Your father now cowers in fear whenever you come into the room.
362. If only your brother weren’t a freakin giant who could beat you to a pulp…you’d get him for saying Hanson sucks, too.
363. Whenever someone sings the national anthem at school during a pep rally, you wish it were Hanson singing it instead.
364. Power to the Hanson Fan Shrimps!!! (inside joke, lool, jen;o)
365. You smiled all through a Monday at school just because your mom insisted upon driving you there in the morning (it was snowy and bad conditions) so when she pulled into the parking lot she said ‘oh my god, it’s so crowded it’s like a Hanson concert!’
366. Your friend was adored all day because she brought you a copy of the Hanson ad in YM magazine. She had no idea you had it already, so it's the thought that counts;o) (Anne...thanks buddy, it's goin' in my locker! hehe;o)
367. You and your friend say 'omz' instead of 'omg' while talking on AOL IM. 'omz' stands for, of course, 'oh my zac'. (jen...hehe;o)
368. You now either own or are planning on soon owning at least one cd by Johnny Lang, Blues Traveler, Beck, and Sly and the Family Stone.
369. Or, at least, a copy of that Time Life 50's-60's compilation...or the Spencer Davis Group...alright so you've just gotta go and buy every cd in the dang store.
370. You have this shirt, it's dark brown and ribbed, with a thick white stripe with two blue stripes on either side of it running across the chest area. It looks very similar to the one Taylor wore in the 'round room' scene of the Weird video, although his was black and pale purple. But no matter how many times you try to explain this to your friend's little sister, whenever she sees you wearing the shirt, she screams, 'YOU'RE WEARING TAYLOR HANSON'S SHIRT!!!'
371. You really wish that were the case.
372. It's really weird, but...at the same time you got your hair cut, taking your a-bit-below-shoulder-length blonde hair above your ears in a wavy, choppy stylish sorta way, Taylor did the same thing. And you had no idea he was. You're certain he's either copying you, or you have a psychic connection.
373. Due to the release of MON in 1997, 3CG in 1998, and TTA in 2000, plus a lil' Hanson Day thrown in on the side (and it's your birthday, of course;), May is designated as the Hanson Month.
374. You have Hanson posters *glued* to your walls. Not taped. Not held up with poster putty. They're glued with wallpaper glue.--Vicky
375. You saw a lisence plate that said 'JTaylor' and went nuts. Well it was a long car drive- you needed an excuse to freak out! ;o)
376. You've listened to 'This Time Around' about 247 times around.
377. You convert anti-hansons, then change them back because you scare with all that useless*to them!* info. --Kaala
378. You know you're a fan when your teacher is talking about Henry the 8th and he asks a question and when somebody answers it he says "Exactly" and your ears perk, your head snapps up and your start giggling.

382. You're already checking the much music countdown for This Time Around --Megz
383. As you're at the moffatts concert you can't help but think "Yeah well, Zac would look better in that" or "Ike could play that better" then you feel guitly and apologize to pictures of both bands for your "juvenile behaviour" --Megz
384. There was that whole 'Betsy' scandal with Zac and the dirtbike...and you think it's pretty dang cool that he used your name to name his dirbike....:o)
385. Not to mention the fact that you heard Isaac say in an interview that he named one of his guitars Betsy once...you've just got the great name and you're proud of it!
386. You've got your friends already knowing that Monday, March 6, 2000 is Hanson Day come 2 months early- they even know what shows the guys are gonna be on and are prepared to watch. (Meryl and Alex...hehehe;o)
387. You nearly died and went to heaven on that day when you watched all the Hanson festivities on MTV...especially when the guitarist for your *other* favorite band was in the studios at the same time as Hanson, and he said he wanted to ask Hanson questions...what more could you possibly want in life?
388. It's almost Taylor's birthday, so what do you do? Well...you're in an accesories store and you see this great leather beaded choker, think "Taylor wear!" and buy it so that you can resemble Taylor on March 14th.
389. You are at a party and you see some cookies, you have to get 3 because there are 3 hansons, and you dont want to leave one out. --WalkerHanson
390. If you don't think about hanson much that day for some reason, you tell your hanson posters sorry. --WalkerHanson
391. You stare at your posters hoping they will come to life. --WalkerHanson
392. You have conversations with your posters. --WalkerHanson
393. You search everywhere for Taylor's maroon Mmmbop video shirt, and buy two of zac's shirts because he has two of the same shirt but different color. --WalkerHanson
394. The metamorphasis is complete! You have converted your friend into a full-fledged Hanson fan! She watched Hanson@MTV *without* your directions to do so, and she liked it!
395. You're determined, one of these days, to go out with a friend, your MOE membership cards, and a camera and visit the John Hanson Highway that goes through your area. Hmm...what pose? Hanging from the lightpost that holds the street sign, or standing back and pointing? ;o)

500. In one of your classes at school, you have an assignment to make a poster with lyrics from your five favorite love songs. You're supposed to write your favorite lyric, what it means to you, and who sings the song. Then you share your favorite of the five songs with the class. What are you going to do? Yes, you're going to brave it- you're going to play 'love song', of course!!
501. You're extremely excited about the college you're going to next year- it's in the middle of nowhere and there's a Hanson street within the town! Hehe...okay so it's not really the middle of nowhere, but your mom said it so it sounded funny:)

507. You got extremely perturbed when you listened to the nightly countdown shows on your various local radio stations for several nights in a row- and there was no trace of 'this time around' to be heard. What the HECK is going on here? Now you are beginning to think it's your duty to become the Hanson Request Crusader.

692. On your desk calendar, where you write down all of your assignments, tests, due dates, etc, you also have the Hanson's birthdays written out...not like you'd forget, but it's just in case;)
693. Everybody who happens to see that wonders what the hell you're doing in college and thinks you ought to go back to 5th grade.
694. You're gonna throw a temper-tantrum if you can't hear the full version of 'never let go'...really!

695. You and your fellow Hanson fan on campus have decided to room together next year so that you can pool all your posters, cd's, stickers, photos, videos and other memorabelia in order to throw Hanson parties and scare the hell out of everyone else at school...mwuahahaha.
696. Your daily guitar practice consists of putting This Time Around (or another Hanson cd of your choice) in the cd player or discman, and just playing along with all the songs as they come. So what if they don't sound perfect, you'll get them eventually- and when you're famous someday, you can say 'Hanson taught me!'
697. You're determined to get that solo in 'Hand in Hand' down pat so that you can play it for other people, impress them, and then say 'HA!! That's from a HANSON song, sucker!'
698. One of your roommates asked your advice on downloading Hanson mp3's. She wanted to know if she should download If Only, Sure About It, or Runaway Run; but the most exciting part was that she asked you this on her own volition- you never had to coax her into it!
699. Instead of telling her your favorite of the three songs, you play them all for her, and proceed to play your other favorites on This Time Around as well. What? The room needed some Hanson atmosphere.
700. You scared her away from wanting those songs and she never did download any of them. Dammit.
701. Well, that debit card you have is supposed to be for groceries, textbooks, and other such neccessities, but for some reason you can't help but swing $6.95 a month for Hanson.net. Well, it could be considered a neccesity, right?
702. Holy crap, you've just realized that this list is 702 fannism signs long- and that it's not done yet.
703. That one guy friend who calls you Taylor (see signs 609 and 610;) came to your rescue in an online chat. You and he were chatting with a bunch of fellow Rage Against the Machine fans, who read your IM profile and started harassing you about being a Hanson fan- how rude! Well, that friend who isn't a Hanson fan by any stretch of the imagination says 'Hey guys, Hanson's good! They're awesome!'
704. You're pretty sure he's joking, but hey, it was funny none the less to get an anti-Hanson to say such things;)
705. You later find out that he wasn't joking and that he thinks they actually have talent. He's not a fan, but you've introduced him to the world that is Hanson and at least now he won't say they're talentless.
706. However, he still thinks they look like girls (this would be why he calls you Taylor...oy vay) and subsequently registered on the Hansonline message board with the screen name 'HansonAreTheBestGirlBand!!' Is it not pure fannism that would bring a non-hanson fan guy to do this? I ask you, could any other force bring it to be so? :-p
707. Come on, admit it. Even if he does think they're girls, would a non-fan be able to make a boy register on the mother of all teenie-bop message boards? I think not.
708. You just listed 5 reasons as to why you're a hardcore fan because a friend says they have talent and registers on the message board, albeit he still doesn't jive on their music. What are you trying to prove? You have no idea, but since when do Hanson fans have any idea what they're doing?
709. You and your friend heard about the fact that the guys seem to have girlfriends and wondered if they went to the Girlfriend Store or something. Then you wonder why they didn't come to your college instead- men are an endangered species, and heck, they've got two devoted fans here that they seem to have overlooked!
710. You both sense a rant about the cruel injustice of this world coming on due to the fact that you weren't even included in the girlfriend runnings.
711. Then you remember that these relationships must simply be to tide them over until they find you and realize you're the ones they've been searching for all their lives.
712. But then you get ticked again when you realize that the tour video they're putting out is that incessant Live From the Filmore concert that was around all summer and that you could have watched 201 times if you wanted. You want a REAL Tour video dammit! You and Alena did not get all the way up to the third row and get videotaped for nothing! You want a piece of the tour video action! You won't be disincluded this time goddammit!!!
713. You couldn't help but laugh hysterically when you heard about the supposed incident where Zac flipped the bird to a fan. A kid after your own heart!
714. You miss the very beginning of the new year because you're too engrossed in Hanson. I didn't notice until about 5 minutes into the year. I was shocked. --Marissa
715. You have maliciously plotted death to the Grammy panel. Two years and no Hanson nominations- do these people really, in all honesty, deserve to live?
716. You convinced your best friend's mother to name her daughter Taylor.:) --Tess
717. Your ex-boyfriend got mad at the fact that you wrote an occasional fan fiction or two. (yeah, yeah, this is the same one in signs #703 to 708. shut up. let us never speak of this again.;o)
718. You and one of your roommates have way too much fun singing Hanson songs when you go to the showers. (I won't get started on how she also sings Rage songs sometimes...heh)
719. Help. Addiction to the hansonline message board is still rampant. Rampant, I tell you!!!
