When you're driving around in your brand-new set of wheels, you yell out: "IT'S A NEW CAR!!!"

I was watching The Early Show this morning, and they were talking about ways to save money.  When they metioned the website thegrocerygame.com, I immediately thought about Price.  :-D

When ever someone around me does something stupid, I will do the losing horns...

Guilty of that!

Having at least ten of your favorite cues/BGMs on your player is a given...

Some based on personal experience:
Finding any broken antenna on the ground and keeping it as a Barker mic. (I've done it several times...)

You use a sound effect for nearly everything... (like watching a sports game after a bad play or humming the Range Game cue in an elevator)

You make the time it comes on a part of your life. (i.e. Everytime someone mentions 10:00 on a weekday, I think about Price)

You have an index card shaped like a price tage and a card pocket to put it in...

Anytime somebody says "Come on Down" in any fashion...

I have this: I feel like I overslept after 10:00 and get up immediately no matter what day it is...

You call your trips to the show a pilgrimage...

Anytime someone has a last name familiar to the show (Barker, Greco, Pennington...) you think of the show...

When you center anything around an airing of the show...

If you tape thousands of episodes (and eventually put them on YouTube)...

If you're a member of this site.  :biggrin:

You avoided scheduling college classes at 10:00.

You've ever interrupted a group project to play CSS.

(I'm guilty of both of these, back in my college years...)

Two cents: 

I have TPIR theme on my ITunes Library and in my Ipod right now,

I still have an old TPIR sweatshirt and a homemade T-shirt I made myself while attended the taping in Aug of 2003 in the closet,  and ....

I bought an autograph Bob Barker autographed card on ebay and look for something TPIR-related once a month there.

In my drama class we did an improv exercise which our teacher called "On the Spot" and I wondered how we were gonna play a pricing game in class.

When I shop or scan groceries and see something that I saw on the show, I will say "oh this was cheaper/more expensive on Price is Right." One day someone on my line actually beat me to it and I told her I was about to mention that!

I've attempted to get out of something going on at 11 or made the best effort to be home at 11.

You have video of yourself as an infant with your grandmother telling you in the background, "You can't go to sleep yet, you have to stay up to watch The Price is Right!"

...that'd be me.

When:

-You've been to The Price Is Right: LIVE.
-You now want to be a contestant on the real show.
-You have a t-shirt from the LIVE show and wear it each premiere.

Or when you do the losing horns while stamping VOID on every bad check, like they do in Check Game.

If you hosted a "Price is Right" themed fundraiser or other function.
