[Megan the Phantom Girlie]

-You make a big production out of dinner when it happens to be pot pies. Bonus points if you actually sing "God That's Good".
-You have created a Sweeney photodrama using... My Little Ponies. (Guilty.)
-If someone asks you to explain the story, you begin with "There was a barber and his wife..."
-You keep a list of which celebrities you'd most like to bake in a pie.
-You know every kind of yellow hair there is
-You actually know what a linnet bird is
-You can link anything to Sweeney
-You insist there's no place like London
-You loudly sing "Worst Pies In London" when your relatives bring pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving
-You've rigged your armchair to a chute to the basement
-You've replaced your dad's shavers with straight razors

If you can come up with anything else, feel free to post it here!

[FunnyLittleMunqi]

-You burst into song when you see a hair-loss commercial.

[goodtimeskids]

Any time you hear someone mention Fleet Street, even if it has nothing to do with Sweeney Todd, you automatically think of Sweeney.
Whenever someone says "Mea Culpa" you start singing "Johanna"
Whenever you go to Baker's Square, you feel tempted to ask the server if they have any meat pies.

[AX]

- You've been on Fleet Street, taken pictures from every angle possible, taken pictures of yourself with every building on Fleet Street, and asked every person you met on Fleet Street what they know about Sweeney. (Most people actually dont know that much.)

[Uber Goober]

Whenever you're bored and happy, you start singing the hums from Pretty Women...

Bum bum bum bum bum bububum bum bum bum bum....

[HappyMonkey]

- You have actually seen Jersey Girl more than once

[Megan the Phantom Girlie]

You never listen to the soundtrack after watching a scary movie because you know it'll give you nightmares. (Sweeney plus "The Excorcist"... not good.)

[AX]

When you are baking something you put on 'Worst Pies In London' so you can hit the dough at the same time she does in the song.

Thats harder to put into words then I thought it would be. You know what I mean though.

[Revenge-Razor]

When you start seeking revenge on all who have wronged you in the past.

[ThE-cAt-In-ThE-hAt]

While playing Monopoly you need to land on Fleet Street and buy it and if you dont, you throw a tantrum and quit.

Shane

[OnceUponATime]

In America, there is no Fleet Street on a Monopoly board.

When you actually do eat a pot pie, you make sure to look very closely at the contents first... and then wonder what kind of person tastes most like chicken.

[Uber Goober]

Cowards of course.

[glindamark1]

u make yourself watch Jersey Girl just so u can see them perform sweeney at the end

[theatrefanatic]

little grtie is awesome in that
best part of any modern movie

[Perogo Ness]

[VictorVonDoom]

You've watched the old black and white movie with Todd Slaughter.

[dramaqueen220222]

Whenever someone happens to say "What's that?" You turn to them excitedly- "It's priest! Try a little priest!"

[Uber Goober]

And when people say "what is this", the response you give is "smells like piss".

Today I ordered chinese food to go at Pick Up Stix. When they asked for a name I replied "The name is Todd."

[holdmebatboy2405]

i just have to laugh at the "worst pies in london" thing....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

[what_the_heck013]

[Sweeneyin20years]

Everytime you shave you find yourself humming "My Friends..."

-At last my arm is complete again!

[Megan the Phantom Girlie]

If your entire immediate family frequently asks, "Now listen to me very carefully... 'Ave you got any money?"

(Yes, down to my three-year-old brother.)

[Ciarön]

You've been to Lincoln Center on five seperate occasions to see Cariou and the original cast on tape lol.

[mizzie]

When telling somebody to do something, you always finish with: "...or it's three times through the grinder with you!"

Guilty!

[Jennyanydots]

I found a package at Meijer labelled "Meat Pies" and starting singing "A Little Priest" to my Mom, who immediately attempted to pretend she didn't know me.

[Fiyero34]

This doesn't have much to do with Sweeney Todd, but HappyMonkey, where did you get your icon? do you have a link to the site?

[MrsJamieWellerstein]

[what_the_heck013]

On Thanksgiving, I was the appointed "pie passer-outer" and broke into "Worst Pies in London". My cousin, who hadn't seen Sweeney Todd, had no idea what I was singing and she was afraid I'd offend people, calling their pies the worst.

[Megan the Phantom Girlie]

When you discover a road called Fleet Street behind your dad's house while out on a morning walk, and your shoulder angel and shoulder devil have a loud argument over whether or not you should track up and down the (very short) street, knocking on doors and politely asking if any of the residents are barbers or bakers named Todd or Lovett.

[what_the_heck013]

I must add that for Spanish class we had to research food from another country and then bring in a sample of it and do a presentation on it. Thus, my friend and I decided to do England and brough in meat pies. For our presentation we sang a medley of "Worst Pies in London" and "A Little Priest". Everyone seemes really freaked out.

[ADistantMoonAgo]

You watched the first episodes of Will and Grace, and because Jack sang "Not While I'm Around" in one of the first episodes you've watched the show ever since.

you sing "green finch and linnet bird" to your parakeet and then get frustrated when a beautiful man doesn't appear outside your window

you sing "theres a hole in the world like a great black pit" etc. and replace "london" with the name of your workplace or school when you get frustrated.

when your principal asks for your attention over the loudspeaker, you start singing "ladies and gentlemen, may i have your attention pah-lease!"

[Patronus]

When you name your iPod, Sweeney Pod and have it engraved on the back.

[Theatrelife101]

You find out something that really peeves you off and you just yell out.. "They all deserve to die!"

I didn't do that today in school not meeeee lol

[what_the_heck013]

Patronus, that is tight. My friend has the Hogwarts crest engraved on hers.

You know you're obsessed with Sweeeney Todd when...
You sing "Alms! For a poor beggar woman" as you walk home alone in the dark at the top of your lungs.

[Patronus]

Thanks!

I had the U2 iPod which is very cool looking with the band member's signature on the back, but only 20GB. I had to upgrade to a 60GB to have a fighting shot.

[Megan the Phantom Girlie]

Formative Moments in the Life of the Artist: My drama teacher heard me perform "Worst Pies in London" in class and actually compared me to Angela Lansbury for it.

[cabaretfreak]

You know you are obsessed when you start saking with exciment about the new cd and the 30 sec clips on iTunes.

[Theatrelife101]

I'm guilty of that! lol ^^^

[what_the_heck013]

[cabaretfreak]

[cabaretfreak]

You know you obbessed when you have a dream with recieving a shave in a theater. Luckly I wasn't "slashed"

[SimplyElymas]

You insist upon casting everyone you know into parts in the show.

You ponder shaving your head so you can look like Micheal Cerveris in the revival production. Whether you're female or not.

You constantly break out, whenever you're a bit nervous into, "I think I heard a noise!"

You want "Not While I'm Around," to be your father/daughter and mother/son dance at your wedding. Ohh, yes.

[presa de la noche]

When you catch yourself doing the eye thing in the mirror when you're bored.

When you pound three times on any door you knock on, and if they don't immediately answer, you pound another two times.

When someone knocks thrice on YOUR door and you knock twice before opening it.

When you go through withrdrawals if you haven't sung at least a few bars of "Johanna" before noon everyday.

Oh, the list goes on...

[bwayluvor31]

-You refuse to have a male hairstylist for fear of becoming a human pie.

-You kiss the Sweeney poster on the wall behind your bed every night.

-You've asked one of your friends to go to Halloween as Sweeney/Lovett so that you can be their counterpart.

-You've recorded yourself and your equally obsessed friends singing the score.

-You see every production that roles into your town.

(I'm guilty of several of these, but i won't say which ones)

[drewkingsbury]

--In history class, the teacher mentions the burning of Atlanta during the Civil War, and you suddenly feel the urge to jump out of your seat and run around crazily, singing "City on fire! Rats in the streets and the lunatics yelling at the moon, it's the end of the world yes!"

--Just thinking of the Pirelli/Beadle falsetto part of the Epilogue makes you shiver and start to tear up and get chills.

--You ask for the $100 complete vocal score for Christmas.

--Your signature is a lyric or line. (see below)

[Kaiana]

When you daydream about singing "Ah Miss" with your crush, who unfortunately isn't really the right voice part.

[drewkingsbury]

[bakerswife08]

some person: "good idea" or something along the lines of that
you say: "well you know me... bright ideas just POP into me head"

you stay up ALL NIGHT watching consecutive clips of the concert version on youtube because you just can't wait until october.

when everyone in massachusetts is excited about going to see Wicked, you're 60 times more excited about sweeney!

you go to wit's end trying to find someone to go as sweeney with you (as mrs. lovett) on halloween.... and have no luck. =( any takers?

when mad about something or someone you burst out into "THEY ALL DESERVE TO DIE!" and get some straaange looks from people surrounding you.

[Sweeney Hyde]

This thread is oooolllldddd. The last post was in December of 06...lol

[RTTugger1977]

...you freak out if you're shaving and nick yourself on your Adam's apple. (This happened to me...right after seeing "Sweeney Todd" on Bravo!)

...you've done a Muppet cast for "Sweeney Todd".

...you've done a "Cats"/"Sweeney" crossover. (Guilty as charged...in fact, a certain special Bway performer even supplied some parody lyrics.)

...you're a bit hesitant about seeing the upcoming movie because you're not sure if Johnny Depp can carry the role like Len Cariou and George Hearn did.

...you were corrupted when first seeing the made for TV version because your elderly relatives dropped everything for "Murder, She Wrote" and that was mainly how you knew who Angela Lansbury was beforehand.

[Kaiana]

[EponineBarker]

[Sweeney Hyde]

I keep thinking this thread is about me...carry on...

[Kaiana]

We're all secretly obsessed with you, Sweeney.

[RTTugger1977]

I just happened to see it on Bravo once, about 12 years ago, while channel surfing.

[Sweeney Hyde]

[EponineBarker]

[Pannic]

When you hear "Ken Jennings," you do not think of the Jeopardy champion, but the original Tobias Ragg.

[YouGotsToLovett]

When you're walking down the aisle of hair dyes, and begin singing "there's tawny, and there's golden saffron, there's flaxen and there's blond"

[rytoast25]

you do reanactments with toys and build your own sets out of old jenga pieces.

[Guinevere]

[SweeneyLovett]

[Mistress]

You know you're obsessed when you think creepy thoughts that involve cannabalism everytime you eat beef patties from your cafateria

You think the same creepy thoughts when you come across a barbershop in your local mall.

You watch the Lansbury/Hearn movie on your sleepover with your cousin and friend...one's a Johnny Depp/Tim Burton freak and the other was just interested in the show...but we had a great time watching it.

When you practice saying "And there's always a couple rats gone to Jesus" exactly like Lansbury says it in the movie.

[ActingDude17]

You know you're obsessed with Sweeney Todd when...

...you flinch when you see your local barber shop. If you see the barber making his blade go in and out you double flinch.

...you get a shave and you're shaking the whole time.

...if one of your friends or relatives says they got a shave or haircut you say, "You survived? You...you...you're not in a meat pie?"

[Vice]

You refer to ground beef as "people" on occasion...
Yeaaaaahhhhh.... *guilty*

[Barberous]

You feel the need to add a Ballad-esque Sweeney reference to any sentence you utter...like Sweeney.

[Tenalto]

Upon finding your new package of disposable razors after hunting through your closet, you begin to sing "My Friends" as you lovingly pull open the plastic wrapper.

[Vice]

[MissyTech]

....Every time you hear "what is that," you say "it's priest" and people give you bizarre looks and say "what did you just say."

...You don't eat meat pies (Yes they exist. This was a recent discovery)

...You dress up as Mrs. Lovett for Halloween. (I didn't have a top hat or an apron! Meh. But I still looked cool)

[lost in the darkness 101]

when you have a dinner conversation with your mom that goes somthing like this :

both of us: HAHAHAHAHAHHA
but after that we both lost our appetites

[Baker]

Referencing from the first page...

[theatre_grl]

When you run around school singing Epiphany (for some reason, all the underclassmen avoid me now, lol)

when you suddenly lose your appetite when you hear that your mom doesnt know what kind of meat is in the dinner she bought

[lost in the darkness 101]

while driving you read a bumper sticker and start a laughing fit because it says " get a taste of religion, eat a preist !"

guilty

[Kaiana]

^LOL!

[theatre_grl]

when you start giggling uncontrollably when you read Johnathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" in class (meanwhile the rest of the ppl are slower to catch on that its satire and look at you, disgusted )
when you then prance around singing "the history of the world, my sweet..."
lol I dont know if this would apply to anyone but me

[Joshua]

When you're taking the time to post in this forum...

when you have a theory project of analizing a melody of A SONG OF YOUR CHOICE. I chose Johanna... enough said.

[The Duchess of Mint]

Dear Sweeney Todd Fans,

You know that you're obsessed with "Sweeney Todd" when you see a One of a Kind, customized Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett doll in a doll collector magazine, and you actually know that the doll is supposed to be Mrs. Lovett, and someone in your family checks the magazine, and they're surprised that you actually know that the doll was a Mrs. Lovett doll. LOL!

I'll probably customize a fashion doll from my collection once I've seen the "Sweeney Todd" movie, and I've actually looked through a Barbie I.D. guide in order to figure out which 1979 Barbie would make the best OOAK Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett doll (I know which 1980 Ken would make the perfect George Hearn Sweeney Todd doll)!

You also know that you're obsessed with "Sweeney Todd" when you tell someone in your family that the local pie shop will probably suffer (socially, financially, whatever...) once the "Sweeney Todd" movie is released. There is literally a specialty pie restaraunte in our town!

In addition, you know that you're obsessed with "Sweeney Todd" when you wonder what your dinner arrangements should be (Ie: When you should eat, in relation to seeing the movie, so that your meal isn't spoiled by unappatizing mental images, a sick stomach, etc.) on the day during which you see the "Sweeney Todd" movie.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

[EponineMNFF]

-When your mother is makin pizza, you steal the dough and perform "Worst Pies in London" for the family.

-When at the Fringe Festival this year, you see a group singing the ballad of Sweeney Todd to PR for their performance... you sing along, even though you're PRing your own show.

[pish123c]

Im a piccolo player which was needed info for this one

You still laugh during a little priest when he says the piccolo player line.
haha so good =]

[mastachen]

...when you call older women "Mum" or "Mother"

[The Duchess of Mint]

Dear Sweeney Todd Fans,

You know that you're obsessed with "Sweeney Todd" when you're in a coffee shop, with two other people, both of whom you know, and you're eating a lemon turnover (it looks like half of a sort of flat pie, so the "Sweeney Todd" connection is there, fer shurr!) and humming "Sweeney Todd" songs under your breath, just softly enough that nobody says anything to you, and, all the while, you're trying to decide which of the waitresses looks most like a "Mrs. Lovett". LOL!

Thanks in advance for your replies.

[lost in the darkness 101]

when you nearly wet yourself when you find out that your grandfather owns a pair of strait razors then spend 3 hours planing how to get to red deer to buy them off him without your mom finding out. ( hopefully i will get to see him this christmas )

[Vice]

You know you're obsessed with Sweeney Todd when:

- You see a Sweeney shirt @ Hot Topic, go nuts, buy it, and gett all giddy over the straight razor on the front.
- You see a giant movie display for Sweeney, and you want to abduct the straight razor from it and put it on your ceiling.

(Guilty of both... )

[Not Dead Yet]

When you lick the Sweeney Todd poster at your local movie theatre.


Not that I've... done that.. or anything..

^when you wish there were meat pie shops in your area.

[musicalFREEK]

when you start to imagine that that you and your crush are the sweeney/ lovett pair, get the libretto to count how many times they kiss but later decide against it because sweeney (your crush) gets mad at you and kills you...

ok fine i'm guilty!

[Mistress]

When your computer log on password is Sweeney

[lost in the darkness 101]

you cause a big scene in front of your friends on the way home from school when you find out that RIGHT across the street from this old barber shop that you hate walking by is a meat shop so now everytime you walk home you always walk veeery slowly by the barber shop just to see if you can see someone get their throat slit. LOL

then you freak out on your friend when he pushes you inside said barber shop then holds the door shut so you cant get out till you ask the owner if he's ever killed anybody

god i hate my friends
