Tintin Forums

You know you're a Tintin fan when you hear the word Gorgonzola on a cooking show and immediately shout, 'Rastapopoulas!'
And you wear your bright blue jersey in hopes of looking like Tintin!
You cry when one of the books you own is ruined :(

You know you're a Tintin when...
-You earned the title "Haddock" in your name,given by your family and friends,because you're the only person that can drink wine without getting drunk! (actually happens to me,My real name is Patricia Grace Halim,now everyone called me Patricia "Haddock Grace Halim!)
-You saw a film titled "Braddock:Missing in Action" in your TV schedule and before you notice it says "Braddock" you think "OMG! Haddock is missing!? Tintin must find him immidiately,Rastapoupolous could behind this! (actually happens to me,a few days ago! XD)

You know you're a Tintin fan...
- when you make Tarte Tatin (a buttery, apple sweets), you always think of Tintin and in fact call it "Tarte TanTan."
- when you make waffles, you prefer to make Belgian-style waffles (because of course that's where Tintin is from!)

:-D Oh! This makes me want to make a Tintin-themed recipe book haha. //feels silly//

When you see a poster of a proboscis monkey in the school hallway and instantly think of Rastapoupolous and "Flight 714".

*chuckles*

My addition!

When you meet your friends from chemical engineering(/pharmacy/any major that deals often with chloroform) major, you warn them,"Don't sniff chloroform too often, or you'll be dizzy and faint (like Tintin!)".

I carved my pumpkin to look like Tintin. But with my artistic talents, it will probably end up scaring someone.

When you remove sticky plaster and consider for a brief moment attempting to dispose of it using Captain Haddock's method from Calculus Affair.
I didn't put it into practice, though. The bandage was bloody and it would not have been hygienic.

When you see a picture of a stylized bird* illustration and it suddenly reminds you of the Syldavian pelican seal.

*In my case, it was an albatross ;)

Reply to the Tintinologist team: Sorry about the- coupon-tearing-from magazine post stuff that was posted a few weeks ago,It was happened to my mom,really,I'm not lying.Apparently,that message was not sent by me,but my younger sister who was using my account while I was in the bathroom,(I didn't log out at that time since I wasn't finished with my post yet!)I couldn't do anything about it,since after that,my computer crashed! (My computer was just fixed,so I can continue posting here!) I hope you can forgive me,I'll try as hard as I can to prevent it from happening again! (p.s:I NEVER dare to steal anything,expecially tintin themed cause I'm afraid that Herge will be mad at me and send Rascar capac to my room to torture me!,that might be crazy,but that's the way I think!)..
Now..to stay on topic
You know you're a Tintin fan when...
You always think that Lunar Jim is Tintin himself,since they're really look alike! (But I'm not really sure about this,need to check again..but if I remember corretly,I always did this since I was 6 years old,even until now!XD)

You know you're a Tintin fan when...

You manage to convince your French teacher to let your class have a Tintin unit! Now I can learn about
Tintin in school, and get graded on my Tintin knowledge! Yes!
