You think Gale Harold is the most beautiful man alive

Your cell/mobile alarm is Brian saying either "Good Morning Sunshine" or "Rise and Shine Sunshine"

You get giggly whenever you meet or hear someone called Justin and/or Brian

Your friends want to watch the show too just because you talk about it so damn much

You will never look at a zucchini or a cucumber the same way again...

You won't even let your best friend/soul mate/family member touch your DVDs

You can read these and other almost 50 funny observations in this link:

Can anyone think of other "signs" that we are all hopeless QAF addicts?

You know you're a hopeless QAF fan when... you avidly defend gay rights to the TNT representative that visits your office, while secretly thinking of how hot B/J look in their sex scenes.

(Seriously! TNT man did not know what happened in that conversation, haha, did not expect any such thing from this straight female during office hours. Later though he sent me an e-mail saying that my free thinking did convince him after he'd had time to think about it. Good stuff!)

That's a good one! Fans of the show often daydream about Brian and Justin's love/sex scenes!

You know you're a hopeless fan when you try and listen real close to every word Brian speaks to hear Gale's southern accent sneaking out. The first time I heard it was when he turns over and discovers Justin in his bed and says "Who are you"? I come undone when he says who, you and especially the word hot. Another time was when the gang are at the diner complaining about Ted being predictable in what he always ate and when it came down to Gale's line, instead of saying potato chips he said 'tater chips. (melt)

WHERE IS MY CHIFFON!!!!!

[–] Golden_Gardenia 15 years ago

Oh, I wish I could notice Gale's accent! As a non-native English speaker I just can manage to understand what people say, but not notice their specific accents, unless they're too strong!

My friend was watching Billable Hours (I didn't know what it was called, I've just looked it up) and the minute I saw Fab Filippo, I started grinning pointing at the screen and going "IAN!"

She thought I was a fan of his from my reaction, LOL!!!

Even though I totally loathe the character on QAF, seeing the actor on another show made me feel like, "that's one of the 'QAF family' doing well in the world" kind of. I felt affinity toward him in that fleeting instant and I thought he looked good (I didn't watch the whole show and I have no idea what it's all about).

If that's not crazy...

I'm melting right there with you amethystlady! I keep saying it, I know, but his voice "tickles" me.

I felt the same way when I saw the actor who played Vance Gardner the other day in some TV drama! It's like those people are so special because they were part of the show. As Sharons says, the actors in the show were cast in Heaven!

I'd like to add the word Gucci and also the word shower to the list of words that Gale gives his obvious southern twang to. Can anyone else think of any more words?

[–] Rhianna7 15 years ago

In the 'hottest guy on the internet scene' (episode 208) his accent comes out when he says 'shampoo'. I love that scene!

[–] amethystlady2000 15 years ago

I forgot about that one too. Thanks Rhianna7! His accent is soooo (like he says it) hawt!

...when you LOL as the Olympic announcer for the snowboard cross names Michael Novotny as one of the snowboarders in the heat!

[–] realdealseal 15 years ago

And in your next breath, you know the announcer is not talking about "OUR" Michael Novotny because "OUR" Michael Novotny isn't co-ordinated enough to snowboard...hello, he holds a spoon like a 5 year old!LOL

That's right!

I looooooove Gale's accent! It's especially noticeable on any word that has the short E sound, "eh". For instance:

Lemon bars = limmon bars
Emmett - Immitt
Jennifer - Jinnifer

There are quite a bunch of other examples, but I'm not watching right now, unfortunately! But I notice it in almost every episode!

You know you are a hopeless QAF fan when... you expect a gay character or a gay twist in any movie or TV show you watch - and end up disappointed when there are none

[–] Golden_Gardenia 15 years ago

That's right! And you keep thinking hetero sex is so boring and unnatural!

Hahahaha! That happend to me too, and i'm sure that happens to a lot of QAF fans. I like to think this show opened my eyes and enlarged my vision about love and relationships.

You know you are a hopeless QAF fan when... you are really pleased to find out (while cooking) that the hinges in your kitchen cabinets bear the brand name 'Schmidt'

[–] Golden_Gardenia 15 years ago

Hahaha! And you have a new found food obsession for lemon bars.

You have to go to your fave Thai restaurant after Ben tells Michael he will make him "a chicken satay and pad thai noodles that will make you weep".

When Ben serves Hunter miso soup. That is one of my faves. Then I cannot wait to get to my fave Japanese restaurant.

It is amazing that everything Ben cooks or talks about cooking sound good to me, even his tofu stir fry. I am not a vegetarian, but do eat my fair share of tofu.

My favorite line though is Brian thinking that his Chinese delivery has arrived and he yells into the speaker "you better not have forgotten my sesame noodles". That is another time I have to order from my fave delivery place.

Notice this is all Asian cuisine too. Definately a hopeless fan.

I always have cravings for meat loaf when I watch the scene when Brian goes to Michael and Ben's uninvited for dinner and Ben says he cooked mee crab. He says: "Have you ever heard of meat loaf?"

[–] cls-27 15 years ago

He says: "Have you ever heard of meat loaf?"

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I heard about years ago that's so Brian.

"National Sex Week: Don't let your meat loaf!"

[–] amethystlady2000 15 years ago

Avocados and peanut butter.

...you are asked for your opinion on baby names and you express a strong dislike for Jack, Joan, Claire, John and Cody

...you are inspired to learn to cook jambalaya, and wait until the next day to eat it (because it's always better the second day)

...you find yourself walking down Oxford St. in Sydney and you think about how much Brian would have enjoyed himself here if he actually got to go on his holiday (and the bombing at babylon never happened)

...you watch The Gruen Transfer and you wish they could do an episode with a special guest - Brian Kinney

...you always think of Brian Kinney when you see the following slogan for Becks Beer: 'you don't have to be Posh to swallow Becks' - very Brian if you ask me!

...you find youself eating ice cream more often because it reminds you of the 'ice cream kisses' scene

...you feel tempted to get a 'death day' cake, black balloons and a coffin for your friends 30th birthday party

[–] clofa 15 years ago

Those are great, Rhianna7.
I can't help it; I'm so obsessed that Brian is like my "Jiminy Cricket" and I often wonder what he'd do in almost all situations.

...you find youself eating ice cream more often because it reminds you of the 'ice cream kisses' scene
and I hate ice cream! LOL!
