You KNOW your addicted to 40k when...

[CHIAPETOFDOOM]

I know this has been on the official forums lately, but hey, those folks are closing. So I thought I'd start one here, being as silly as they are.

-When your boss gives you crap and you smile and remind yourself that the "...loyal servant learns to love the lash!"

-When your laptop fails you or begins to have errors you place your hands near its motherboard and videocard and recite prayers, beggining with "Forgive me, my Messiah; the Machine Spirit."

-You begin all of your AOL instant messenger conversations with "Thought of the Day"

-Your best friend and you have tried to create power armor, fashioned from cardboard, foam, plastic and other crude materials.

-You carry a homemade bolter pistol around with you. "To dispense justice where you see fit."

-You've thought out the implications of a zombie invasion as most Americans, but you haven't overlooked a Tyranid Invasion...

(It should be noted all of the above is true for me )

haha we had a 25 page long something like this (at 50 posts a page) back in one of my old forums.

- when you clutch the silver imperial eagle (taht you have around your neck 24/7) when you walk past the dangerous parts of town
- when you chuck batteries into the fireplace and hope they recharge

i had more but i have to find them xD

[Torquemada Coteaz]

-when you shout waaagh! at the top of your lungs every time you get madd
-when you try to add grav engines to your bike
-when you tell your wife/gf/friends that you want to put "side skirts" a/o "extra armour" a/o "search lights" and whatnot on your car
-when your car has a grot (converted from a garden gnome) with a wrench glued on the roof
-when you get rid of your garden gnomes because GW no longer supports squats

[Levin]

when you and a friend can't decide where to eat you "roll off" for it.

[Inquisitor Ralei]

When you hate a fictional race (Tau and Eldar especially) so much it gives you a headache!

[Levin]

that you sacrifice ever saturday to go hang out with a bunch of overweight, smelly dudes who can only talk about how "uber cool" they are.

[Icarus Athrasuriel]

When you have a shrine to Slaanesh.
You sacrafice 1 n00b per day for Khorne.
When you shoot people on sports day because they "Didn't give their best for the Emperor"

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

my contribution:

you know youve been playing 40k too long when, at a nightclub, you and your mates begin to wodner how many people youd fit under a real-scale ordinance blast (true, sadly)

[Icarus Athrasuriel]

When you plan an orbital bombardement on your school.

[Torquemada Coteaz]

when you tell your friends you're lonely and going to the club to pick up some daemonettes/SoBs

[Killermoose]

You execute anyone who thinks that aliens are our friends, on the grounds of them being 'heritical'.
When you get to difficult situations, you think 'What would the Emperor do?'
You spend your entire day trying to work out which close combat Aspect has the higher probability of mashing Space Marines.
You hate Power Gamers as much as you hate George W Bush.

[Torquemada Coteaz]

(expanding on killermoose's cause his was hilarious xD i hate GWB too)
-You hate george bush as much as you hate that GW squashed squats.
-when you think "what would the emperor do?" you have a hand on the bracelet that says "WWED"

and:

- when something wierd happens you break out a life sized model of th animus cause you think there's a psyker near by
- you think the america military is outdated because "the abrams doesnt have side sponsons"

[Killermoose]

You tried to stop the production of the humvee because 'it doesn't have an STC'.
You swapped your M16 assault rifle for a flashlight, claiming it was a lasgun.
You refused to wear body armour, claiming 'The Emperor Protects'.

[Inquisitor Ralei]

You know you're addicted to 40k when you get angry/upset that the IoM has lost a battle report!

[Torquemada Coteaz]

when you cant pay rent/mortgage or supply yourself/family with food because you spent "a little too much on the new [insert new release army here]"

[Killermoose]

Your bank balance is always £0, but you have £3000 worth of miniatures at your house.

[experiment 626]

...you submit a 1000 word english essay that you've writen entirely in the blasphemous runes of chaos!
(note; we had supply teacher who played skaven at the time, so he really did find it humorous!!!)

cheers!

[Killermoose]

You don't wonder whether 40k will happen or not, you accept it as a given fact.

[Cagarner]

You chant prayers to the machine god to start your car.

OR Dwarf Runes (fantasy or LOTR) or Tau Characters
(done the dwarf runes in my essay about Tolkien's Creatures way back in the day. and Tau characters is what i use for my Titles and stuff sometimes)

[Killermoose]

You have lost the power of thought for everything except 40k.

[Icarus Athrasuriel]

When you tell a magician 'it's for your own good' while pointing a pistol at him.

[Killermoose]

You know every one of your models by name, and grieve when they are removed as a casulty 'Alas, poor Boris, I knew him well.'
