I couple weeks back I happened to glance at the sky, and saw an airliner heading straight away from me, leaving contrails.

My immediate instinctive thought was: "Ha ha! Suck on that, red team!"

When you drive your car, flashing lights as lezors...

Better yet, when it starts to rain, and you ask if anyone brought AMS.

When you get rear ended by a Smartcar in your F-450, you poke your head out screaming, "Reported!" (but more likely to back up hard, crushing the smartcar and posting it on a F-450 forum if this is right.)

And then do you panic because you forget which weapon group you tied to your streaks?

When you dress your self up as an Atlas, your wife as a Wyvern, your kid like an Urbi, and your dog like an Antlion for Halloween.

When you get dragged into going to a anime consplay thing with your friends that you didn't really want to go to, so your just like, "fine! But i'm going as mother f*&king Alexander Davion!"

Your phone knows that Urbie is a proper known (see how it capitalizes it for me). It also recognizes LRM and lrmboat as words.

You have a bumper sticker that reads "My other ride is a Battle Mech."

You refer to your internet, phone, and TV provider as Com Star, and are scared witless on being late on your payments because they might sic ROM on you.

I though I had taught my children this, but they got me back by:

Walking into the room and vomitting on me.
Standing beside me and peeing on the floor.
Walking into the room with blood gushing down his arm from the knife wound on his knuckles.

All true stories, all in the middle of matches.

I have 4 kids so there is usually too much chaos to really consider it any kind of "training" I guess if anyone is being trained it is me...the second time my little guy ran into the room yelling I have to PEE!!!! I got off the computer

When you start calling people stravag, freebirth or surat instead of the standard cusswords, out loud and in public. That was when I realized I'd been playing just a LITTLE too much MW2 many years ago.

And now, 20 years later, I still find myself doing just that, out loud and in public, and not minding at all. And now, my 25 yr old daughter, understands exactly what I mean and agrees with me, saying Aff!

When you reach a set of steep stairs and instantly realize your current chassis weight will never make that climb and so you start looking for the long, slow way around.

Nice to know I am not the only one that does this as well.

I work in engineering. LRM stands for "Line Replaceable Module" - except now all I can see it as is Long Range Missile.

It makes for funny reading of PowerPoint charts in my head... people talking about needing more LRM's and so forth.
