Todays surf is getting better and better...

I just found this list of:
Signs that you might be addicted to EverQuest
* When walking through a shop (in real life) you find yourself looking for a fine steel weapon or checking if the item has stats
* You look at skinny models and think of the skelly pawns at the chess board.
* When giving people money you find yourself using the word 'Trade'
* You are driving around a busy parking lot and can't find a parking space and say, "Its bloody camped again!"
* People in real life don't like it so much when you 'Grab their hand and begin to dance with them'
* When you are pulled over by a cop and they don't understand when you tell them 'I'm using SoW to get to work!'
* You take a drive in a taxi and find that its way cheaper than the 20pp you pay for ports


And now I will stop for today! Zzzzzzzz...
