Guys, please, we're supposed to be numbering these posts! Let's get back into it. Also, I believe this will be the longest post EVER in this thread. Prepare yourself.

329. You pet your cat while trying to acquire its DNA (sadly, I've tried this many times).

330. Every time you see a phaser on Star Trek you immediately think of Shredders and Dracon beams.

331. You can't pet a dolphin without thinking of Animorphs.

332. You can't watch Mr. Rogers without thinking of Animorphs.

333. You can't watch Independence Day without thinking of Animorphs.

334. You can't watch The Nutty Professor without thinking of Animorphs.

335. When you see something about Area 51 you think, "Idiots, that's supposed to be Zone 91!"

336. You can't eat broccoli without thinking of Animorphs.

337. You read Harry Potter and think what it would be like if Animorphs were in it (guilty of this, hahaha).

338. You play StarCraft and think the Protoss are the Andalites and the Zerg are the Yeerks (seriously, they ARE similar, look it up).

339. You have had at least one dream about Animorphs. Bonus points if you brag about having a lot.

340. You brag at being able to beat people at Dead Zone or Doom.

341. You go up to a secluded lake and wait around for the Yeerks to appear.

342. You go around with a camcorder thinking that you might run across a situation where an Animorph would be forced to demorph and hope to catch it on video so you can prove to the world you're not nuts.

343. You tape a bunch of knives, saws, and axes to your various body parts and go around saying you're a Hork-Bajir (something I've also done).

344. Whenever you watch The Dark Knight, you draw similarities between Rachel Dawes and Animorphs Rachel of both being strong, independent women (guilty!).

345. Whenever you play KOTOR II and see the bit about echoes traveling through the Force, you immediately think of the way space-time was described in Animorphs books such as 7, TAC, and 26.

346. Your favorite animal is an elephant because it was Rachel's second favorite battle morph.

347. Your favorite animal is a Siberian tiger because it was Jake's favorite battle morph.

348. Your favorite animal is a gorilla because it was Marco's favorite battle morph.

349. You take various items around the house and glue them/tape them together to create Animorphs ships (something I've been known to do in the past).

350. You go to the zoo hoping to see the Animorphs.

351. You see a kid named Erek and immediately think 'android.'

352. You can't watch any robot takeover movies without thinking how different it would have been if the Chee were there (guilty, again).

353. Whenever you read about Marco Polo you immediately think of the Animorphs Marco.

354. You got into bird-watching because of Animorphs (guilty!).

355. You read Harry Potter and immediately compare the Animagus transformation to morphing, with morphing being so much better.

356. You go into supermarkets and wait for a Bug fighter to come crashing into it. Bonus points if you have a camera so you can take pictures of the whole thing.

357. In real life you use Marco as an example of tactical brilliance.

358. In real life you use Rachel as an example of extreme recklessness.

359. In real you use Jake as an example of leadership and courage.

360. In real life you use Cassie as an example of pacifism.

361. In real life you use Ax as an example of intelligence.

362. You immediately begin looking for people with the names Jake, Marco, Cassie, Rachel, Tobias, or Erek to befriend. Bonus points if you actually do have friends named that.

363. You wonder what the Animorphs would think of certain animes (also guilty...).

364. You wonder how Animorphs would fare if they took place ten years later (in 2006).

365. You can't watch Xena without thinking of Rachel, you just can't.

366. You can't watch Arnold Schwarzenegger movies without thinking about him resuscitating George Edelman in #17. The Underground.

367. You can't watch The Flintstones or Evan Almighty without thinking of John Goodman in #17. The Underground (something I am guilty of).

368. You go to the mall and wait inside The Gap for Rachel to come along.

369. You had a crush on an Animorphs character growing up (Cassie for me).

370. You STILL have a crush on an Animorphs character. (Still Cassie... :-]).

371. You regret not getting into Animorphs sooner (damn it! >:D).

372. You only know humans are called Homo sapiens because of Animorphs.

373. You doodled Animorphs in school (guilty of this, as well as 3rd Rock's "Big Giant Head").

374. You buy a cat and name him "Fluffer McKitty."

375. You can't watch X-Men without thinking of the Animorphs.

376. You can't watch anything with Jeff Goldblum in it without thinking of #6. The Capture.

377. You can't watch Jurassic Park without thinking of Megamorphs #2. In the Time of the Dinosaurs.

378. You wish the Nostalgia Critic would review the Animorphs TV series (true for me; as sucky as they were, at least he would have made fun of them...).

379. You can't think RAF (Royal Air Force) without thinking of RAF (Richard's Animorphs Forum) and, inevitably, Animorphs.

380. You see the name David and immediately think 'traitor.'

381. You read Animorphs and think of ways they could have done things better.

382. When Animorphs inspires your username on other websites (true for me; I'm Lord Falcon on Stardestroyer.net. Guess who I named myself after? ;)).

383. You wonder if Cassie would think the Internet nowadays would be better than the primitive version it was in the mid and late nineties.

384. You get jealous when Jake kissed Cassie and think how much more you would love her (again, something I am guilty of, yes, I know I have problems... ::)).

385. When someone picks on a gay kid, you rush over and think, "What would Jake do?" (True for me again; they were picking on him so bad, yet they left the lesbians at our school alone. How ****ed up is THAT?)

386. You wonder what morphing would be like in Pokémon and immediately write Pokémorphs fanfiction.

387. You own all of the Animorphs books, crappy Alternamorphs included.

388. You keep hoping beyond all hope that Scholastic will break down someday and create REALISTIC toy spaceships (not those stupid minis they had in the late nineties...).

389. You meet someone named Cassie and it's all you can do to stop yourself from proposing to her on the spot.

390. You dress up normally for trick or treating, and when your parents confront you on it, you tell them you're going to morph into a different animal for each house you go to (something I did once on Halloween ;D).

391. You talk funny like Ax. Bonus points if something asks you why.

392. You play Sonata Arctica's FullMoon and wonder if Marco ever listened to it (guilty! Man, all the things I am guilty of...).

Whew! There. BTW, think we'll ever get to 1,000?

Crud, sorry. Forgot AGAIN.

393.You get attacked by a guy named David in one of your Facebook games and seriously consider sending him an in game message containing the words "Rat-boy" before hitting him back. (no, I won't do it, but it was funny to think of.)

Independence Day and The Nutty Professor were mentioned in Animorphs books, #25. The Extreme and #45. The Revelation, respectively. But that is a good point, newBlazingAngel. Never thought of it that way. But suffice it say I think the fact that I even remembered those two almost obscure references means I'm in the top 10 of who's the most addicted to Animorphs.

397. Again with the Facebook game, there's a poster on the game forum with the screenname Inquisitor Yaruk, and it always comes across to my mind for a second as Inquisitor Yeerk.

I wish I could find them. *looks up at Beanie Baby Animorphs group on shelf...that's it for me for now plus my own plushies*

400. Ax body spray ads make you laugh like crazy. Both from the obvious, the name, and the idea of Marco trying it and getting a joke from Rachel out of it.

401. You look through your telescope hoping to spot the Yeerk Pool ship.
402. You walk through abandoned construction sites every day hoping to meet Elfangor.
403. Cinnamon buns are your favorite food! (duh)
404. You try to get nuclear weapons banned because you're afraid they really can transport people through time.
405. You don't eat lobster because you're afraid you might char-boil Marco, Jake, and Ax.

407. A Christmas card in the mail makes you take notice because the sender's last name is Halloran...not quote Alloran but close enough for me to pick it out lol

409. You can't watch/read other fiction without thinking "What would be the Animorphs' reactions?"
