Does wanting to call your child "Lucifer" fall into this category. :P

When you realise that your 'original' magazine purchased Viper pilot jacket doesn't fit anymore due to middle aged spread so you buy a larger size and justify it by saying that the first one "wasn't screen accurate"!

Didn't have one. Wish I did. I think I getting to the point where I am about to make or buy my first jacket and then later replace it with one better.

Just about there. Love collecting armor to a point and a classic Cylon would be great.

Always. I think it would be great to have them continue as they meet Buck Rogers and crew. Do I get extra points for that level of geekiness?

In Dallas you can see Richard Hatch, Anne Lockhart, and Herb Jefferson with little effort, but I really want to see Dirk Benedict. So I might have to travel to California for something like that.

Does "Frak" count?

When you've gotten Richard Hatch to sign several items for your collection (8x10s, his books, the PS2 game cover), and you still go to conventions to get his signature, as well as Dirk and Herb's signatures.

I do that, just to see them again and again (and welcome them to Dallas.) Always good to see them. They are all interesting people and beyond that they helped flesh out Battlestar. But it is always great to talk to them and hear how things have been before and after.

I think I would want to name a child Starbuck. :P
So ones I would add for someone like myself that for the most part was strapped for money... till lately.
- You climb into a car and think of it as a Viper.
- You open the garage door and hear in your head "Probe one ready for launch, you are clear to launch."
- If you ever ride a motorcycle you want to get a Viper helmet from the classic series.
- Whenever you are driving or biking into the darkness of night you hear Stu Phillips music playing in your head. The music where Apollo or Starbuck would be exploring, flying along in the Viper.
- You could swear a Viper would fly and want to make a prototype jet with the Viper design.
- You want to play a game of Pyramid, but not sure how many would actually play. Then you dream of making a Pyramid game for your favorite game system.
- You want to make a Viper pilot coat, but modify a little to wear in everyday life.
Then there are the really geeky aspects, techical aspects:
- You wonder where Starbuck got a cigar from.
- You realize that the game that Apollo, Starbuck, and Boomer play frmo the Mayans was only played by hitting the ball only with the hip. Then you think it would have been hilarious to see the actors try to pull that off. :P
- You realize there is no sound in space, but think the thrusters, lasers, and explosions sound cool and therefore you don't care.
- You wonder exactly how big the original Galactica really was.
- You wonder how many original series Star Trek Enterprises would have fit into the Galactica.
And after all the brainstorming done above, I just realized the best thing that would set a fan apart from the rest...
- You think Daggits were cool.
(And with this message I make my 100th message, and go from being a Shuttle Pilot to a Warrior... woot!!)
