...when looking at the house number of your next job on your job sheet instead of saying "23 Fitzsimmons Lane, Eltham" you say "Adam Hartlett Fitzsimmons Lane, Eltham"

You know you're a Carlton tragic when...

You buy a car because one of the sales people was singing the Carlton song to himself (even though he was a Roos supporter).

You know etc ...

You know your're a Carlton Tragic when you taught your children basic numeracy skills on long trips in the car, as follows:

Kernahan (4) + Ratten (7) = Spalding (11). :wink:

I do the same thing at work, Aggers.

Similar to the one I had above.

The house number might be 347 Something something Road

When I'm trying to remember it I say...

Murphy Gibbs Bentick Something Something road.

My 9th grade Australian History class, trying to remember the dates of Cook's 3 voyages to Australia...

Carlton to Carlton (1768 - 70)

Carlton to North (72 - 75)

Hawthorn to Carlton (76 - 79)

Ok, a little bit of football tragic as well as serious Carlton tragic, but not bad 25 years later.

You have the theme song as your mobile ringtone. I might have to change it - I'm getting too many howls of derisive laughter.

..you spend hundreds and hundreds of hours doing data entry for a database outlining the history of your football Club...

...then go nuts everytime anyone changes a format that you've just updated through 1097 of all player biographies in that database...

...then go apesh!t when you can't get anyone at the Club to commit to taking over the website as a freebie gift from you and about 100 others...

...you decide to go cold turkey on Carlton forums for a fortnight or so to give you time to edit years 1905 - 1930 and make sure there aren't any spaces between the games links and the bottom of the page...

and

...you think The Tyrant is a good bloke in real life.
