YKYWTMMW..

You Know You Watch Too Much Mononoke When...

As submitted by ***Whoever sent these in, tell me what name you want up here, you didn't specify anything!!***

You try to save up your money for a red elk and you think about nameing it Yakull.

You buy a pig from a animal farm, cover it with worms, and pretend it's a demon after you.

After you kill your pet pig you put you try to find ways to put a curse on your arm so you can fight like a demon.

You buy huge earings that seem like sea shells and you hope they ring like San's earings did in the movie.

You start hanging out with strey dogs that look like wolves around the neighborhood and pretend there your family. You name the biggest one Moro.

You try to become a great mistress of your very own Iron Town made out of legos.

You start to think like Lady Eboshi. And everytime you see a wolf you say "Cut off a wolves head and it still has the power to bite."

You find a second in command who yells alot and gets humiliated just as much as Gonza.

You build an old watch tower in a forest and put up there an old man who will sit in the tower. Then you make the old man look for Tatari Gami. (Or that pig you bought at farm that you covererd with worms)

You go to a super market and you buy 3 bags of rice with a lump of pure gold. You try to make the woman say "Hey there this isn't money give me my rice back you theif." and make sure there is a monk near by.

Everytime you try to cross a river you wear a loin cloth.(K.A.'s note: Better NOT try this one at home, know what I mean?? ^.~)

You have an old ugly monk with a mole on his face hang aout with you for one night.

You try to find a real fist fight between 2 girls and go in the middle of it and grab them and say "Look everyone this is what hatered looks like. It's eating me alive and fear and anger only makes it worse" You also show your cursed arm off a little bit.

As submitted by **Once again, another no-namer! Help me out here ^^;;**:

You call your foul-mouthed uncle "Jigo"

You play Majora's mask constantly ONLY because the deku mask looks like San's

Every time you see the scene w/ Ashitaka in his *ahem* lioncloth-thingy you sing the "thong song"

Or you get a nosebleed

As submitted by Mika-chan-chan:

Every time someone moves his or her head, you say "clackety click clack!" (guilty ^^;)

You have had your mouth taped shut for doing this

You sit by the local creek hoping to see a woman who looks like San appear with a white wolf and blood smeared on her face

You stand at the edge of the local creek with a white wolf and blood smeared on your face hoping to see a man who looks like Ashitaka

You constantly say your favorite lines from the movie...in japanese (guilty again)

You're making your friend a kodama dashboard doll for her birthday (guilty)

And the head moves from side to side and makes a clicking noise (ditto)

Your friend actually wants the kodama doll (^^;)

As submitted by Toki's Fondue Hut ( hee hee hee, now THERE's a cool name) *^^* :

You go out and buy the DVD having never actually seen the movie, but because you borrowed the soundtrack from the library and fell in love with it, a friend keeps telling you how amazing it is, and it just happens to be on sale

You go by that on sale DVD even though there's a huge snowstorm (in April, no less) and you won't be able to watch it right away because you have a bio lab exam the next day

you watch the DVD in Japanese with English subtitles, then curse them for having dubbed it - even though you really have no complaints about the dubbed version

Even though you've seen it 30+ times, you still get all teary-eyed when the forest god dies and San mumbles that it's all over (especially if you're a sap like me and cry at everything)

As submitted by Wadsworth the bear: (This is more of a story-style thing, but this is still really cool)

My cell phone is decked out in princess mononoke stuff, I even have the theme song ring on my nokia... and it was a pretty penny... I have a face plate that I made on it AND I have the cell-phone strap!.... I know it's sad.. I'm 18 and I love this movie! (K.A's note: Don't worry, you're not sad, nor obsessed.... you're just very, very focused.) ^_~

As submitted by Jango Kodama:

You have both the Japanese and American soundtracks, but insist on listening to the Mononoke stuff you downloaded from Napster.

You just had to buy the Japanese soundtrack for $30 off Ebay.

After you bought 2 copies of the VHS, you go out and rent it for third time, and don't return it for at least 6 weeks past it's due date.

You fall in love with Claire Danes, and swear that you will see every movie that she has been in... *if anyone knows Ms. Danes personally, relay the message to her!*

You decide that the human race is the scum of the earth, and it needs to be eliminated (Disgusting little creatures!) (K.A's note: Well, maybe not...)

You think that Mononoke is the answer to Pres. Bush's energy plan. (K.A's note: I don't know why this is so dang funny, but it just IS.)

Kodamas and talking animals tell you that you watch too much Mononoke.

You wish the movie had actually "come to a theater near you."

Or you missed it when it did, and you hate yourself for the rest of your life, because you just learned that this movie existed.

You are listening to Mononoke while reading this list.

You think that Princess Mononoke is the best anime...ah hell, the best movie that you have ever had the pleasure of viewing... yet you are 23 years old and graduating from college.

You have decided that the only character that you will ever play in D&D, or whatever RPG, is someone that lives in the forest, hates humans, and uses a bow and arrow.

Your friends will not see Mononoke because you won't shut up about it.

Yet, you continue to taunt them with threats such as "disgusting little creatures", or "I'll do anything to keep you humans from destroying the forest."

You think that Clint Eastwood (in his earlier western movie career) is the shiz-nit.

You want to be reincarnated as a wild animal.

You start cryin' like a baby during the last 15 minutes or so in the movie, right when Moro and Okoto die, and you can't stop for the rest of the movie, yet you are 23 years old and graduating from college (guilty as charged). (K.A's note: Don't worry, we still love you!)

You have always wanted to see a sequel, and if given the opportunity, would grovel at the feet of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli for the copyrights.

You refer to Hayao Miyazaki as a god.

You make a solemn pledge to never wear any kind of animal skin again.

You decide that once you finish college, you will go out and live in the forest, like San.

One word: Ghostbusters!

As submitted by Neo Earth Angel:

You search E-Bay Non-stop for Mononoke-Hime Posters

You print out various pictures and paste them to all of your school notebooks

You Call Up CLEO to ask if Miramax will ever show MH in theaters ever again.. Sadly, you find out that Cleo is really a guy named Steve and cry for days. (I never did this)(K.A's note: Cleo???? Huh??)

As submitted by Maggot R.:

You can tell whats happening just by listening to the music.

You tell your parents that you're going to go to Japan and single handedly stop all the mineing companies that are linked with the gun-making industry.

You go to Japan to find a Kodama and take it home for a pet.

You go to every video store you can and by 3 things: the official english translation of Princess Mononoke, a sub-titled version, and the original Japanese version.

You build a minature forge and start cutting down trees trying to find iron.

You go around the web searching for anybody who can tell you where to get a crystal dagger.

You run around in a haystack and hood with a bow and some arrows.

You drive everyone crazy with your constant chatter about how much you love Princess Mononoke.

You start humming the theme-song whenever anyone mentions Princess Mononke.

You paint your dog white and go out looking for wolves on it.

You go to every farm in the area looking for a cursed pig.
