You might be a rocket geek if you...

...hide rocketry magazines under your mattress! :grin:

 

[blackbrandt]

My mom found my stash of magazines under my mattress today.... She couldn't believe her eyes at the size of the ummm... yeah.... those things.

And the nudity. Almost everything was naked.



She had found my Extreme Rocketry stash.

Have your rockets delivered to a sympathetic friends house (so you can smuggle them into your home when mom's not looking)(Guilty).

Worse yet, having your mom/wife catch you in the bedroom at night under the covers holding a big rocket. "AH-HA!!!"

The high point of your two week family vacation, which included Mt Rushmore, Mammoth Site, Sturgis/Deadwood, a week on a ranch in Montana and Yellowstone, was a guided tour of the Apogee HQ in Colorado Springs, Co.
I was like a kid in a candy store, my wife just didn't understand...

TMI on that one...

 

[EXPjawa]

If you have rockets in your bathroom.

I'd admit to having wet-sanded rockets in the bathroom, none are stored there. The kitchen, OTOH...

And I have those TJ rocket crackers in the cupboard currently. I still prefer Goldfish, though, especially in pizza flavor...

 

[JERRYR708]

If you still play with your GI-Joe Space Capsule in the bath tub and send Rescue Joe's in inflatable rafts for the rescue.

 

[KenECoyote]

Now I suddenly have an urge to go to the bathroom with some crackers and some GI-Joes.

The rocket crackers do look like goldfish in a way

Actually I find them sad...too thin and short and bad spirals. Plus TP remnants glued on. I guess I'm a uber rocket geek.

ME TOO!! They put a frown on my face and make me saddened every time, because I can't recycle them...in a rocket kind of way..:-(

When "running out of parts" means, you only have 4 left, of any given part you usually keep on hand, or use often.

When you're distressed you can't make a good rocket out of Toilet Paper tubes.

 

[Gary Byrum]

TP tubes, paper towel and Christmas paper wrapping tubes are not what they used to be. If you like frugal rocketry, opt out for aluminum foil tubes, plastic wrap tubes and maybe a wax paper tube. I've gone as far as using the 4" tube from a Planter's peanut can and a 6" Great Value coffee can to make tail rings with. Those are some really sturdy tubes, if you don't mind resurfacing both sides.

 

[krusty]

Yup, empty TP rolls make me smile :lol:

...you hope the current Estes sale lasts until your next paycheck.
...you have so many "wish list" rockets you forget which websites they're on.
...you keep hoping someone will ask about the paint on your shoes, so you can say "Oh, that? That's from painting rockets..."
...you read about the recent NAR member number 100000 being issued and think why wasn't that me???
...you wonder why your local bar trivia doesn't have more rocketry-related questions. I mean, seriously, guys! You call this a "science" category??? WHERE ARE THE ROCKETS???

If it has rockets then it's a good store.

 

[rocketjet787]

... if you rate stores based on the number and type of rockets/parts.
