You know you're a true Frank Black fan when...
The lyrics to "You're Such A Wire" make perfect sense. |

You know your a true Frank Black fan when...
you have an argument with someone about any of his songs being over rated when you know you are the only persons that have heard that song.

zugzwang is a position in chess where every move you have is a bad one.

Ed, the topic implies that we know this already.
(actually it's a chess move that is forced on you that you would otherwise not have made but it is the only move available)

You know you're a true Frank Black fan when...
You receive 300 messages talking about what could be Frank's favorite taco stand in L.A. and you're not even bored.

| The lyrics to "Dog Gone" make perfect sense. In fact, you start using the phrase in everyday conversation. "Man, I feel dog-gone tonight... Motherfucking dog-gone..." sigh |

You name your baby Nemo after Frank's cat.
You know more about the history & geography of California than of your own state/country.

You find yourself longing for a to scale 1/10 size Frank Black doll to help you get to sleep at night (and in all honestly, if these were ever marketed i know they'd be a big hit) |

:) this one made me laugh out loud.. (sorry for contributing to the taco saga so much.. but hey, c'mon.. it's frank related right?)..
ok.. you know you're a Frank Black fan (nerd) when:
you go the Frank Black taping on Craig Kilborne and yell out "Donnie Darko" because of some ultra-silly inside joke on Frank Black For President.. AND people look at you like you're insane, and you suddenly realize that you may very well be.

"ishist" i don't know but zugzwang i know is a german word used in chess game to indicate a position where it's a disadvantage to play a move (you would rather not play a move at all).
HAving said that, the line "Zugzwang got me in a way/Under my opposing thumb" hardly means anything to me. What could it mean ?

ok... i admit i dont know what an ischist is (even though i wrote it - it sounded good at the time...) i do know what the chess move is though so i think i am off the hook!
the taco stand thing is the funniest post i have seen on these pages. take a bow sir.

yes! i do this when i am driving alone in my car. One time me and my three friends had this song on in the car and me and the driver stomped our feet and clapped our hands, but the guys in the backseat didn't. Me and the driver laughed and gave high fives cause we were cooler than the backseat boys.

You know you are a true Frank Black fan when you are blaring frank black in your car and you pull up to a red light alongside some goofy white yos in their lame looking car with loud rap music, and you just laugh at them.
ok so maybe that's going out on a limb. But this happened to me.

You know you're a true Frank Black fan when...
...your fondest memory about your trip up to Eureka was blasting "California Bound" up the 101 next to the Eel River.
...you got to Eureka and spent half the time thinking about Robert Gunther and the poor Wiyot.
(maybe these don't belong in the top 10, but they're confessions of an FB geek)
