<br>Come guys only a few more to go for 365!
(349) You remember when Zenith TVs were the rage!

If it weren't for Zenith I never would have existed! (my parents worked for Zenith and that's how they met)
Whoah I've been gone a while! Seriously how hard would it be to get this printed? I was sort of kidding when I started this thread but do you guys think it seriously would be worth printing? Could I sell enough to cover the cost of the print setup?? I'm not looking to make a profit, but I can't afford to lose any money doing this. Besides which could Jeff Foxworthy sue me?
Kimiii, Great ending! Perfect!

Universal,
I have about 5 people begging me for it! You have to make it happen! This is just waiting to happen. Please organize this as soon as possible. If not give someone else the green light to proceed with this.

The "You Might be a New Waver if..." game

Hey UR, If you have some trepidation about the logistics of putting out a printed version, how about a calendar linked freeware application or plugin for your PC or Mac desktop that will post these nuggets on a daily basis? I'm sure some NWOer is a programming/ software geek who could easily write or modify a suitible application to do this. Any Takers [?]

Like this so has to happen. I couldn't help but start the 2007 version!
(1)...if you can flash the BIOS of a PS1 IBM consule!
(2) You thought Michael Knight played some groovy New Wave tunes in KIT.
(3) When in Piccadilly Circus you start singing Piccadilly Palare to yourself
(4) When hiking in the middle of a forest you recite the lines from Big Country : "like the garden in the forest that the world will never see...."
(5) You remember Michael Milken as a crimnal and not a philanthropist.
(6) You would convert to country western music if Daisy Duke asked you to......[:p]
(7) You collected every vestige of the Go Go's offshoot projects!
(8) A sex Pistol does not conjure up an image of a phallic symbol.
(9) You waited anxiously to pronounce Orwell wrong at 12:00 on January 1, 1984!

You might be a New Waver...
380. ...if you ever wrote a song called Christine that had nothing do with all the other songs called Christine.
381. ...if you were in love with Spike from Degrassi.
**edit**
Oh and 1 more!
382. ...if vision in one of your eyes went bad from lack of use because either your hair flopped over it or it was covered with an eye patch you didn't particularly need.

Is it ok to add some for the 2007 edition? Not sure about numbering...
You might be a New Waver if:
15. You used to search high and low through every music-related magazine in every book and newspaper store in the city in hopes of finding an article or picture of little-known REM.
16. You couldn’t understand what Michael Stipe was singing about, but it was the best anyway.
17. You knew that Morrisey wrote “Girl Afraid” just for you.
18. You spent a half an hour bent over drying your bangs upside down with gel so that when you stood up your bangs would stick at least three inches into the air.
19. You thought red lipstick and eyeliner were sexy on guys.
20. Every Sunday you went to your friend’s house who had cable so you could watch The Young Ones and 120 Minutes.
21. “Nirvana” was a song by The Cult, not a band in the 90’s.

I feel I should remind people of this, because I've seen 120 Minutes mentioned a few times.
You might be a New Waver if you remember that before '120 Minutes' was '120 Minutes', it was 'Postmodern Mtv'. Dammit![:p]

You might be a New Waver if you name your home-brewed fruity wine "DePeach Mode".

393. Instead of English versions of international new wave artists, your stash is ENTIRELY multi-lingual.
394. You:
a--Remember Perkins Palace in Pasadena, Ca.
b--Actually went to a few concerts there
395. You remember when KROQ was in Pasadena, Ca.
396. You actually have Oingo Boingo's four-song Ep on 10" vinyl.
397, You have several "Max Headroom Show" episodes videotaped (when they were originally on Cinemax).
398. You remember and have several "Rock Of The 80s" eps from Showtime on video.
399. You remember when
1--Superstation TBS was known as WTBS
2--"Night Tracks"was on the air
3--Slowly, "Night Tracks" went longer and longer when, it plateaued at a six hour show.
4--you have some Night Tracks eps on video
5--you know, by heart, the address to send request to
400--You remember (and actually watched the news footage) when there were protests outside KROQ after the deejays started airing "Johnny Are You Queer."
To UniversalRadio, my station for "Rock Over London" was KOLA-FM (Los Angeles). You are TOO COOL!!

402: If someone yelled "No more yanky my wanky" in a crowded theater, everyone else would giggle at the sexual reference while you just sit there with a nostalgic look on your face.
403: If, every time you try looking up some unknown 80s band on google, one of the dozen or so matches links you to NWO (seriously, this has happened at least 10 times for me... it's how I found NWO in the first place!)
404: Every time you take a trip, you base your trip largely on the quality and quantity of new wave clubs you'll be near.
405: You think Spock was an asshole for knocking out that punk on the bus in Star Trek IV.
