www.hungrymonster.com/humor/Jokes.cfm?jid=215Top 10 Signs You Watch Too Much Iron Chef 10. You are banned from grocery store produce section for taking large bite from bell pepper and then laughing diabolically. 9. You begin every sentence with "if memory serves me right ..." 8. Alarmingly large number of Kaga-style pirate shirts and matching gloves in your closet (alarmingly large is defined as > zero). 7. Your typical restaurant order-- french fries, hash browns, potato salad, baked potato, potato pancakes, potatoes au gratin and a potato vodka chaser. Then you demand to be taken to kitchen so you can select who will cook your food in a taunting fashion. 6. Always seem to be several members of lower parliament milling about your dining room. 5. Fake "Rosanjin Scholar" diploma on your office wall. 4. Your refrigerator and pantry are filled with dry ice to create dramatic smoke effect when opened. 3. You own "Backdraft" soundtrack on CD. Never seen the movie. 2. You own any sort of custom tailored chef clothing and you are not a professional chef. 1. You have given consideration to (or have actually constructed) a trap door in your kitchen so you can rise from out of the floor in a dramatic fashion.

That's a great soundtrack. I've never seen the movie. Is it any good? Has anyone here seen it?

Arri - you aren't joking, are you? Backdraft is a very good movie, well worth the watching. Wouldn't be suitable for your younger ones, but you and Barronmore would probably enjoy it. I just checked www.imdb.com and it was nominated for three Academy Awards in sound/technical/effects categories.

No, I'm not joking. I don't watch a lot of movies. I just never got into the habit.

It was a good movie, particularly Robert de Niro.
Only trouble is, if I watch the DVD while half-asleep I tend to see Stephen Baldwin, in full firefighter get-up, strolling out of a fire-filled hallway into Kitchen Stadium and biting into a bell-pepper while surrounded by chefs.

And I happen to be guilty of considering one and four- just for fun of course. I've seen Backdraft, but only because I loved the soundtrack from Iron Chef so much I had to watch the movie.

I saw Backdraft when it was released in 1991. When I started watching IC in late 2001 I didn't realize the Backdraft soundtrack was the music being used until someone told me.

#12 your young children play "Kitchen Stadium" with their toy pots and pans and fight over who gets to be Kat
#13 your husband comes home on your anniversary with a bag of secret ingredients and challenges you to "Battle Pizza" as a gift.
#14 You actually plan family vacations to include visits to the restaurants of former contestants
#15 part of your yearly bonus is allocated to the purchase of truffles and saffron
( scary thing is these are true!)

#16 Fukui takes over as your mind's voice.
#17 You mime playing dramatic piano chords whenever a winner is about to be announced.
#18 You nickname any interruptive friends "Ohta".
{Yes, I am that lame. Fortunately, my mind's voice has returned to normal. Having an American voiceover man speak out my thoughts was somewhat creepy.}
