The Biggest Atlas Shrugged Movie Fan

I'm introducing a "contest", just for the fun of it, competing to see who's the most fanatical fan of the movies. Again, this is just for fun to share what lengths people have gone to as a result of their affection of the movies.

As for myself, well, let's see... I listen to/watch ASp2 every day.
I put it on my phone so that I can listen to/watch it at work.

I've taken to writing "Who is John Galt?" in unobtrusive (and non-destructive) places. For example, in a torn triangle of drywall in the maintenance room at work. Last night there was an obnoxious poster in the break room offering employees a program to "help" them quit smoking. It featured a huge bundle of cigarettes. I wrote the "Who is John Galt?" along the length of them. Dummy that I am, I should have put $ on them.

I had to purchase a new printer (don't ask, I'll probably share again), and I got some magnetic sheets and round stickers along with it, so as to make my own, custom Atlas Shrugged related buttons, etc.

Last year for Halloween, we were allowed to wear costumes. I wore my usual work clothes, with a new name badge I'd made up. Yup, standard issue company name-badge... "John Galt" was the name on it. Gonna do it again this year, too... only this time I hope to get myself a 20th Century Motor Company hat to wear with it.

So... any other fanatics out there? :D

    I listen to the sound tracks all the time. I prefer AS I because it has hope and power and forward motion. AS II really depicts the feel, Oh Whoa Whoa Whoa of the world today. More halting and desperate.

    My first thought when you talked about the pack of cigs was a $ sign. Can you go back and with a gold pen put one on?

    I'm always wearing a T-shirt with some type of AS reference. Yesterday was "Who Is John Galt?". Today is A is A. I hope to see the guy from the hospital again today and ask him why he totally disagrees with AS. I have a few speculations so I'd like to see how close I come. Collectivist or what at the catholic hospital.

    Well I dress up like Henry Rearden and act out the scenes in Part 1 specially the one with Phillip and Paul. (Joke) Sadly I try to open talks to those who I hear complaining about the Government, I'm surprised as to how many people have never heard of Atlas Shrugged.
