PAGE 4!!!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!!!!

Regina sent in some new ones

1. You know you are obsessed when your kids wear their Hanson shirts to a family reunion & you threaten to throw them in the creek if they spill anything on them, so the stain won't set.

2. You know you are obsessed when you dig around in the grocer's freezer looking for an Eggo box that still has Hanson on it. I found one! These are from Amanda...aka Llamaesques

3. For a truly obsessed fan Snowed In is a cd for all seasons. Picture spring break... warm sun and beaches.. and "At Christmas". Better yet, picture plane ride on the way to spring break listening to "Silent Night Melody" in hopes that if the movie "Alive" is going to be reinacted in the near future at least you will die happy. Not to mention the brownie points to be gained with God for the religious nature of the music!

4. You're beyond obsesed when going to Europe is nothing more than an extended Hanson merchandise finding mission. After going to all the sights --- you know what I'm talking about here: battersea power station, trafalgar square, the louvre, segaworld, doc martens superstore, planet hollywood -- you hit the local newsagent and introduce yourself to some foreign teen magazines. Somehow it's so much easier to buy a magazine called Smash Hits than it is to buy Teenbeat. Fewer flashbacks of junior high....

5. When you go to clubs with your friends they know to bear with you when you spend 45 minutes flirting with the DJ in an attempt to get him to play MMMBop.

6. The hardest part of moving out of the dorms at school was figuring out how to hide your Hanson calander, TT&MON, your 15 Hanson singles, and your blossoming collection of biographies on the boys. Thank God for dirty clothes!

7. When leaving your CD collection for 6 weeks and only able to take about 15 discs with you more than 80% of said CDs are Hanson related.

8. After touching Taylor you seriously debate stopping such hygenic activities like washing your hands because it would be a pitty to wate Hanson residue.

9. I'm reading How Stella Got Her Groove Back by Terry Mcmillion and there's this one line... heehee... it suddenly has more meaning when applied to Hanson: "He's a child. A tall, handsome sexy child, but a child nevertheless. Why come they don't come in this make and model in my age group is what I'm wondering."

Here are a few from Jeanine

10. You notice that the knapsack you just bought has a small mesh pocket. Without even stopping to think about it, you cut a favorite picture of Hanson from a magazine and slip it into the pocket. Anyone who turns to look at your "rear view" will see these three guys peeking out through the fabric and wonder what your problem is, but you don't care.

11. Your neighbor's 10-year-old granddaughter tells you that a psychic told her she would one day marry Zac Hanson. Although you are 39, you feel a flash of jealousy, wonder if the psychic has any real power, and hope that she doesn't.

12. Every newspaper, magazine, news program, and radio show in the country is talking about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, and your first reaction is to note that Bill’s and Monica’s age difference is about the same as yours and Zac’s.

These are from Rob in Canada!

13. When you go to HMV to reserve the newest Hanson CD, the clerk says "I've already done it for you, Rob"

14. You get a weird look from the Kwik-E-Mart guy wehn he looks under your Wrestling Magazine to find the latest magazine with Hanson on the cover.

15. Everytime you babysit, you make busts of Hansons heads with Play-Doe.

16. You make plans to move your kids to South America taking nothing but 50s and 60s rock.

17. Your saving your money to hire Hanson to come and play at your house.(Wouldn't that rock?!)

18. Your trying to come up with fake reasons to tell your mom why you want to let your hair grow long.

19. You've become good friends with the local radio DJ just because you've been requesting Hanson so much.

20. When reserving a hotel room, car rental, etc. you put Hanson down as your last name.

21. When the other guys in school want to borrow a Hanson CD to impress their girlfriends, they call your Hanson Rental Service.

22. Your toothbrushes are the same colors as Hansons are.

23. Your wearing your old Doc Martens that went out of style in your town 5 years ago.

24. When signing yearbooks at school, you always start with "Dear Amy:"

25. You have a copy of each Hanson album/single superglued into every tape player in your house and car.

26. When drawing a map in class, Tulsa is labelled as the National Capital

27. You have convinced your local priest that Jesus's long hair was actually blond.

28. Your procured a job at the local concert venue, just in case you'll be working backstage when Hanson comes to town.

29. You've doctored Hanson into all your family portraits.

30. Your next vacation isn't to New York, Toronto, or London, but to Rex's Boneless Chicken.

31. You've had to take a fourth job to pay for all your internet time spent looking at Hanson sites.

32. You spend time writing Hanson obsession signs when you should be upstairs making supper for your sick grandfather.

Here are a few from Wendy

33.You know you're obsessed, when you're watching Return of the Jedi, and through most of the movie you're just sitting there thinking, this is one of the guys favorite movie.

34. You know you're obsessed when you start thinking about Hanson, during non-related Hanson songs.

35. You know you're obsessed when you would even consider taking a job cleaning toilets, just so you can save some money for a Hanson concert, when they come to Australia.

36.You know you're obsessed, when you feel depressed about having thick curly hair, and not been able to braid it like Zac's.

This is from Megan about her mother...it is so nice!

37. Hey Kim! I'm Megan, and I'm 15 years old. I was just at Hansonology and I think that that is the best page on the web.. and funny too! Itz soo awesome that some people can actually be adults, and be OBSESSED with HANSON too! Itz so cool! I wish my mom liked them as much as you guys do!.. That's why I'm e-mailing you. My 35 year-old mom is my very best friend in the whole world, but I think she is definately hiding something from me. I think she's a true Hanson fan deep inside, and I need y'all's EXPERT opinion! This has actually been going on for a while now! She just says they're "cute kids". However, she did say that she thinks they need to come over to our house for a few days and take a nap and get out in the yard and play some baseball or something (Hint #1. She wants them to come over to our house!)... She says this because she thinks they always look tired from all the touring they're doing... "It's not good for them. They need to go home." (I guess it'z those motherly instincts of something).. Hint #2: EVERY TIME she hears me playing any of the Hanson CD's, she runs into my room with "laundry" or has this dire need to "clean" room, even if it isn't messy... Hint#3: I actually caught her reading one of my "teeny bopper" magazines.. she buys them for me too! Ok, and the biggest Hint, Hint #4 is when she named my baby brother John Taylor (John, after my dad, and Taylor, after..well... I'm not quite sure, maybe because I asked her too squillions of times!) This happened last June. So, needless to say, she is a bit obsessed.. maybe. Because when asked if she likes Hanson, she almost denies it, but says, "Yeah, they're cute kids".. and after the concert, she said, "Hey, why don't we buy one of those huge posters!".. Which Hanson is it that she seems to like the most?!?.. Isaac ..."Ike (yes, she calls him Ike, not Isaac) is the most talented. He has a great voice" or, in a dispute between she and myself,..(yea, she was arguing with ME about Hanson!) She said that Ike is the cute one.... Well, it seems obvious that she is a "closet Hanson fan".. But I'm still not convinced.. She's so subtle about it.. that I'm not sure! Please let me know what you think. ... Also, concider this, she actually let me stay home from school this Friday, so I could watch CBS This Morning... And it was her idea!

38. Melinda sent in this one...When you brainwash visiting friends into liking Hanson buy showing them Hanson videos while they are seriously sleep deprived and then reinforcing it within them the next day by playing all available Hanson music. And you do this for validation of your Taylor Hanson fetish.

Here is a new one from Regina

39. You know your obsessed when you look through all the Bounty paper towels to find the one with the three blonde angels wearing, green, red & blue!!

Here is one fom Kimberly

40. You know your "Hanson Crazy adult" when you spend every day for six weeks dealing with a scalper in Tulsa for their July 8th concert on the phone long distances [MAJOR PHONE BILL!!] for your 10 year old son and you to go!!! We got the tickets and only for $50.00 each!!! He wanted $175.00 each ticket, BUT I said that I would only pay double the face value [since he was making a killing on the other 16 tickets he had to sell!!!!PLUS, he said that I was very honest and kind of mom that sounded like I was real reasonable with my kids on Hanson!!!] We had excellent seats and it was worth the 4 and half hour drive from Kansas to Tulsa. We stayed for 3 days and did a lot of Hanson sights and visits! That is how we started the "Hansons sightings" page with the help of Kim's page! We have Hanson connections from neighbors and friends in Tulsa!! They know I'm just as crazy as my 3 kids!!! My neighbor will call me from her work to tell me Hanson news on the computer and her dad calls and sends us info ALL the time! I also write a lot of Hanson people for my kids and I{mostly ME!!!} on info etc. My daughter's Godmother even sent us TeenMag articles from Paris France last summer on the boys. It was all in french and she had to translate it for us, of course!!! She even sent us the french newspaper articles on their up and coming concerts and their visit there. THAT'S BEING an OBSSESSED MOM OF THREE GREAT KIDS WHO LOVE HANSON AS MUCH AS THEIR MOM DOES!!!!

Here is a new one from Regina...

41. I just spent $25 on a empty Pepsi can because it had Hanson's picture on it! And you know what's worse? I think it was worth it :-)
