How I became A Beatlemaniac

The VMAs were due to be on in half an hour on a Sunday, and I was bored out of my mind. So my mom was on the couch flipping channels, and she stopped on channel 189 (VH1 Classic)
"Oh my God! Help! is on, I haven't seen this in years!" my mom shouted. So I sat on the couch next to her, and watched.
There were 4 men clad in black suits and skinny ties, with a woman in a pink skirt and jacket. On man, with a rather large nose was laying on a bed in an all white room held down by a man who was really cute. The other 2 men stood beside them. The woman was holding a needle and was going to inject it into the man on the bed's finger, which had a very large red ring perched on it. The a loud buzz of the doorbell disturbed them and she slipped! As chaos started and people flooded the house I fell in love with the Beatles.
I looked at the screen mesmerized, "So mom, the one of the floor who shrunk is George, no he's Ringo. Wait the one doing karate is Ringo? Then who's Paul?!"
My mom soon pointed out which Beatle was which and from that point on I would never forget.
A half an hour later the VMAs started and my mom was ready to change the channel (just at the part in the Bahamas when George is riding on top of the car trying to save Ringo!)
"No mom! I want to finish this!" i said and swatted the remote from her hand.
"Fine I'll go watch the VMAs in my room then" she groaned and went to watch them on her TV. After I watched Help! I watched a bunch of their music videos, and then the anthologies, and documentaries, and anything else you can imagine about the Beatles!
I feel in love with the Fab Four (especially Ringo ;)) on the day The Beatles Rock Band came out (hence the huge Beatle marathon thing on TV) and I always will love them :)

This sounds like me when I watched "GoldenEye" and fell in love with Sean Bean.
Well, not in love, but, come on....
Don't prod the statement with questions. :)
Thank you so much! I feel so loved! :D I love this! I would do the same thing! Who cares about the VMA's when Help! is on!? ;)
