Okay, I'm pretty sure this will work in this part of the subforum, since it can apply to all CSIs or specific ones, whichever you choose. It's fairly straightforward, and I found it fun on forums for other shows.

YKYOWCSIW... you imagine the CSIs (any team from any show) searching for clues in your house, and picture them holding up various items and remarking on their significance. (You haven't figured out what crime they would be investigating.)

YKYOWCSIW... you get incredibly excited when you use micropipettes in science class, because the CSIs use them in the labs!

YKYOWCSIW... every time you walk into a dark room, you refuse to turn on the lights. Instead you get out your trusty flashlight to find your way around.

[Mack the Spoon]

YKYOWCSIW... you're driving behind what you believe is a prison bus, and you remember to give it more than a safe following distance because you're a little worried that body parts will come flying off the bottom and hit your windshield.

[Contralto]

YKYOWCSIW... You see the episode of "The Office" where someone befouls Michael's carpet and you immediately think, "Run a DNA test . . . you don't need a warrant to impound everyone's abandoned coffee cups . . ."

( . . . and you give thanks for dual-tuner DVRs.)

YKYOWCSIW... You're pretty sure your kid drank the last of the orange juice, but you want to see if there's a match in CODIS first.

YKYOWCSIW when you let out a huge "squee!" when the teacher in Science says that you're learning about DNA.

[Karoline]

...when you see something red on a chair and immediately think "BLOOD? omg, I have to swab that for DNA". That has happened to me.

[Meric S]

....When you have a magnifying glass and a roll of tape lying around, to lift random fingerprints off of your stuff that you're pretty sure don't belong to you.

[Zoned Out]

...When in the course of one's job at a library you come across the book title Guide to teaching brass and think, "What could anyone possibly teach Brass? He's awesome!"

[daniac]

You spend way too much time examining a promo picture when you know the promo people are never accurate!

[ckatz]

...you only keep up with your housework because you don't want to be embarrased if any CSI's have to search your house.

[Leevee]

Hah, ckatz, me too.

YKYOWCSIW your first thought on finding that someone decided the back of your truck was the perfect place to throw their half-empty soda can is 'I could totally get fingerprints off that can, don't these people watch CSI at all?'

[WillowFae20]

When you clean out your hair brush and say to your SO "Hey, you could clone me!" they retort with "Or have your DNA run through 'the system' and see what comes up."

When you've considered becoming a vegitarian after disection projects in Biology class.

When you and your SO discuss how sloppy the killer was and your points are valid/the same as the 'team'.

When watching the news you see some uni's on a crime scene and check to make sure they are wearing gloves, so they don't contaminate the crime scene.

[NJBethany]

When you and your teenage daughter pull hairs out to see if you can get a skin tag. And you gloat cause you're so much better at it!

I went to the movie theater so many times with a reward card that I got a free movie ticket. So I was thinking about if my wallet was found HoCaine would say something like, "looks like the movie's over".

These days, when a teacher wants to teach you about DNA, expect to see that teacher being arrested on the news in about a week.

That should be sooo not funny to me, (especially since I have teenagers and there was a teacher arrested a few towns over last night for just that) but it's hilarious!

YKYO... when you find that CSI has put out both a female and male version of "skulls" and you can recreate their faces with clay. At the back of the booklet it comes with, it gives you four (I think) victims to compare yours against when you're finished.
And you go buy the kit, immediately.
And it says it will take an amature several days (at least) to get it right.
And you finish yours in one day.
And it looks good.
AND it looks so good that you and your spouse figured out who the victim was without even thinking of peeking/cheating!

YKYO...when you learn CSI has put out a "Fingerprinting Examination Kit". It comes with cool things like real fingerprint powder. Black, white, and glow in the dark. Also with the brushes, detailed description on identifying prints, a booklet in which to record your prints, and others. Many other excercises to learn the art of fingerprinting.
And you go buy the kit immediately.
And, you're pretty good at it.
And you practice your technique on all of your children several times.
And, you finally realize if you reach for your kit, your family mysteriously disappears until it is returned to your closet.

Too funny Carson.

YKYO....you can fingerprint yourself better than the person in charge of redoing the fingerprints for the company.

You know you're obsessed with Battlestar Galactica when you start saying "Frack me!" to youself on various occasions.

You know you're obsessed with CSI-NY when you realize you're saying "Flack me!" instead.

[Namarie]

... when you haven't even watched a full episode in several months, but when you see this article about a rare millipede in California, you immediately think, "Grissom would be pleased."

[SCChemE]

YKYOWCSIW ...
you're watching Skeleton Stories on Discovery Health, and when you see a bug box, you're thinking, "now that is what Grissom and Terri Miller could have had in common!"

(A bug box is a big box full of beetles used to clean skeletal remains of any soft tissue. But the beetles will not eat fabric or hair.)

Sorry - double post. Is it just me, or is this site slow and screwy today?

YKYOWCSIW... the police are examining your neighbour's front door because the glass has been broken out of it, they say it's been broken from the inside because all the glass is on the outside and you shout "CSI!" in your head.

Happened to me last night, hehe. Had to call the police because my car and his car were smashed into (hit and run, grrr) while parked and found the broken glass when we went to tell him about his car. Very exciting night.

[CarsonMcKay]

You put Vengaboys' "We're Going to Ibiza" and "Brazil" on your iPod because the thought of HoCaine in a Hawaiian shirt cracks you up.

(Seriously, listen to the songs)

[Kaijin]

You realize you may have a rubber glove fetish. There are only so many times you can watch good looking men snap them on before you get all pavlovian for the sound.

Watching the two hours on CSI becomes so ingrained you actually wake up at 7 to watch it.

[Forgotten]

... You feel embarassed when you get ink all over your hands because it looks like you've been finger-printed for a crime.

... You complain there arn't any sunglasses CSI enough.

At my college, we had to go do a service project so we were cleaning up trash at an inner city park. So I had my ID around my neck and rubber gloves on searching under bushes and in the grass for trash to put in my bag. I wish I had had a pair of sunglasses to put on and in true HoCaine fashion "looks like this park's clean". I felt like a CSI.

[MimiChica]

Last month I saw a play called The Leiutenant of Inishmore, in which a character is shot in the back of the head causing blood and brains to spray all over his shooter behind him. It was a cool effect but all I could think was "Thats wrong! If he was shot in the back of the head then the blood and brains should go foward into his lap!"

..when your Psychology teacher asks about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and you are actually able to answer part of the question because you have watched the episode Stalker about ten times.
