Do you just feel like a complete and total badass? I for one feel like quite the BAMF when im walking around listening to ITPOE.

Most of my DT listening has always been in the car

Last time I took a walk whilst listening to music, I ended up with a steady line of TRAFFIC behind me because I zoned out and was making little dances right in the middle of the road.  :facepalm:

While running its great, when the instrumental section to Ministry of Lost Souls starts its a perfect time to speed up until the solo ends.

I more of feel overwhelmed because I want to hear different songs, but I don't have enough time to hear all of them. 8 minute songs will do that to you.

This. When i listen to DT on break at work i always wanna get through a few songs. I think the most i ever got through was 4 in a 30 min time span.

I have 6 CD slots in my car, all of them have a DT disc in them. I just switch between the 6 and go to the songs that I want to hear or skip through the song and get to a part I want to hear

I'm on the road every day for work - DT is the perfect for all the long drives. Knocked out SDOIT today. I have four hours to fill tomorrow....

One of my favorite things to do is to pick out either a bootleg show or an offical live album and walk in one direction or on one path for half the show. then I rest for 15 mins (the intermission) After that i play the rest of the show as i retrace my steps. ive also done this with two DT albums but it doesnt feel quite the same. to me its a great way to get exercise and i feel good knowing ive just walked 7+ miles :-)

I have a two mile walk to classes and back every day and I listen to all the bands I like (mostly DT). Can't get enough. It definitely makes the walk feel shorter.

I walk, drive, work out, cook, study, work, have sex, do pretty much everything to DT... It's an addiction to me... my fave is driving to it though... and singing along out loud.... while the the other cars watch the crazy lady in the city....

I have yet to acquire this life achievement... "Rounding third base" is close, but no cigar. Everything else has DT music attached to it, which is such as beautiful thing.

For any How I Met Your Mother fans... "Challenge accepted!"

I think this could also bring about another sub-topic: Which DT songs go well with which activities?

The faster songs are good when I take my bike rides. Glass Prison, JLMB, Panic Attack. All keep going pretty fast.

My problem with listening to DT in the car:

I have ADTOE currently in my car but my commute to work is about 10 minutes so when I listen to the longer tracks, I don't get to finish it...

For long trips, I think DT is perfect.

When driving, nothing is more annoying than having to stop by a toll booth when you find yourself in another dimension singing along to the "whoaaaaah whoaaaaaa whoooooooooah" in Learning to Live.

lol
*Pulls up to the booth* 'that'll be $10.'
'WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!'

I had a 20 minute walk today with The Glass Prison blasting in my earphones. I felt like I could punch any bastard in the face and not feel ashamed of it.

I'm in the other dimension when I listening to DT while walking or riding bike.

I nearly threw my toll money at the attendant once because I was getting so into it.
