You Know You're A Color Purple Fan When...

I'll admit, every time I hear someone say "Hell No", I think of the song.

Yeah, Hell No is the only one on that list that I can agree with.

you know you're a color purple fan when:

You see someone walking their dog and as you approach it you sing "get ready for the big dog!"

You walk in on your friends gabbin about how slow you are, and how you will be late to your own funeral and you wait til you hear them say your name so you can interrupt with "this who they talkin bout....and every word they say is true too!"

you find reasons to throw in lines like "you so pretty!....Men ain't pretty!..... You is!" or "I come to hear ms shug sing, a woman need to have some fun! aint that right ms. celie?" into a conversation

You go to church and when you look in the bulletin and see that service is abbreviated for whatever reason you sing "the good lord works in mysterious ways"....

AND MY MOST RECENT USE OF MATERIAL FROM COLOR PURPLE:

One of the men in our church was actin particularly grumpy and bossy on sunday....and one of the teenagers (to her friends) said "he always tryin to order people around...he think he is God, Jr."

and in a totally inappropriate response- I ran up to her and said "Naw Celie! God not some Gloomy old Man, like the pictures you seen of him!" and proceded to sing part of the song!
About 5 people knew what I was doing, and they joined in like the chorus and then we fell out laughin....needless to say- the teenager thought we lost our minds! But now she quotes it when talkin about this male congregant!!!!! That was priceless

I'm not a fan of The Color Purple but I can admit to the Hell No one.

i agree with the "hell no" one, and embarassingly, the snapping your fingers doing the "SHUG AAAAAAAAVERY!!!" thing
:P

Anyone got any other ideas?

I'm sorry, but, The Color Purple?!

When you have seen the show enough times you have actually seen the cast with no understudies.
