[MatthewV]

187. You have to post in drunken posts when you are drunk, and in the insomniac ones when you are still awake at this ungodly hour.

I'm squeezing my last cup of vodka into as short a time as possible so that I don't have to go post in the "Insomniac Posts" thread.

You find the appropriate smilies for your GL identity:

_{I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU MEAN...}

[MatthewV]

You talk to yourself...
(gosh, I seem to be hitting the admins...are they all addicted?)

[Lepton]

It's no co-incidence, Matt...

[HyToFry]

190. You have a sneaking suspicion that all the admins are the same person.
191. Even though you are an admin, and have met two of the others.

192. The average GLer knows more about you than your parents do.
193. You have second thoughts about going away for the weekend, because there's no way you'll be able to catch up on two day's worth of posts.
194. When you do decide to go away for the weekend, it's to take a break - from the GL.
195. Various aspects of your personality have their own registered member.

[Buzzsaw]

No. too many to count and quite frankly, don't give a flying fart anyways.

The thread becomes boring as hell but you ck it anyway.

Thanks Huey. Do you ever get a chance to catch your breath?

[Lepton]

197: You've gone through this thread and counted how many symptoms you have.
139 and 35 almosts (for example, in 191 I've only technically met one admin, and in 181 I don't consider getting drunk with myself). Of the 22 I missed, at least half involve things that I don't have (ie. a brother in 185&186). There were only two or three that I would consider true symptoms of addiction that I don't have.
There's no invisible text in there...

[HyToFry]

198. You read all of Lepton's invisible text before reading that there wasn't any.

[HyToFry]

199. You think Lepton should have left "really" in the last post.

[Lepton]

But do you know why I took it out?

[Coyote]

200: You post in this thread just so you can claim Symptom #200.

There's invisible text in ththtextereere. (And visible text in there.

[robichelli]

201: You do know why Lepton took "really" out

[Huey]

I don't get it.

And I'm not sure if Buzz is complimenting me or insulting me, and if Buzz is complimenting me, I'm not sure if I should feel insulted.

[Courk]

202. "Worthless News" is more interesting than your real life.

[PhantasyStarOnline]

204. 198 applies to you.
205. You're annoyed when you discover someone beat you to 203.

[Quailman]

203. You accidentally sign your GL name to internal company e-mails.

[pikachamp]

206. You're so desperate to add a symptom that you say something obvious like "198 applies to you."

[luminous]

207. when watching the weather channel and the scrolley thingie at the bottom says it's really hot in cities, you think "sucks for hy" or "i hope chuck doesn't light himself on fire today because he will surely perish"

[Samadhi]

208. You pay attention long enough to see Pika get a good zinger in.

[mith]

209. You know you won't be able to afford pika's ego on ebay now.

[Samadhi]

210. You pay attention long enough for mith to pop in with a shlepped reference.

[Macros]

i reckon we shuld actually vote on and compile an official top 10 list.

[mudbuck]

211. you actually think that a top ten list should have more than 200 numbers.
212. you don't think that a top ten list should have more than 200 numbers.
213. You have no time to vote.

[Mackay]

213a. You have no time to vote because reading through this thread again will mean you fall behind in the 20 other threads you're posting in.

[Lepton]

214. You're disgusted by some of the symptoms, since they're obviously not symptoms (in your mind) so much as people trying to be clever.

[pikachamp]

215. You're digusted by lepton's hipocrisy.

[MatthewV]

216 you no longer jack off... you prevent cancer

[Kd]

217. You use the word 'fnord' in RL conversations. Hey, i've done it.
218. You've considered starting a home business, just so you can take advantage of phone companies who'll let business lines call other countries for 9p a minute rather than 90.

[Lucky Wizard]

219. You sometimes try to imagine what Borodog's reaction might be to such-and-such political statement -- how furious would he be, etc.

[Lucky Wizard]

220. You hear that North Korea has chosen to use the word "scum" to refer to a US offical. Upon hearing about it, you idly wonder whether DPRK officials have been reading mafia games.

[Death Mage]

221) You've created a "When will Paladin return?" pool, or won it more than 3 times.
222) You purposfully post extra items on the list becuase the number is prime/perfect square/[perfect cube/palandrome/even/odd/numeric/signifigent to nobody but yourself or just 'cause you think it's cool.

[Lepton]

223. People don't say "hi mole =]" to you in chat anymore. They say "wb mole".

[wordcross]

224) You say "wb [insert name here]" everytime someone enters chat becuse you never leave.

------------------
If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that a hostage situation?

[Neo]

225) After making a to-do list and reading it over, you automatically think "Well, Pablo's been left off another list."

[Pablo]

226. You've started to leave yourself off of lists.

[HyToFry]

227. You actually get hy's joke

228. You know why hy edited this post.

[Lepton]

I'm always getting my quote, url, img, and inv tags mixed up too.
~knows~

[mole]

229. People say "hi mole =]" or "wb mole" to you in chat - and you're someone other than mole.
