1)  Your english teacher asks you to write an observation paper and you
write it                         about Marathon in first person (I did
this).

2)  You run around screaming "They're everywhere"

3)  Your math teacher walks into the room wearing a long purple coat and
you immediately drop your flamethrower (that you just happen to be
carrying around) and run up and start punching her.

4)  You set people on fire just to hear the scream

5)  You eat roast Pfhor for dinner

Top Ten Signs You've Been Playing Marathon Too Long:

10. You feel the urge to shoot co-workers who wear green jumpsuits

9. You actually READ all the posts in alt.games.marathon...

8. When asked about your opinion of the Simpson murder trial, you respond,
"Durandal, no question."

7. When asked how you spent Christmas break, you brag about "Bob Hang
Time"...

6. You carry around a pez dispenser and always empty your "clip" before
entring a room

5. You've recorded the dimensions of every room in your office or college,
waiting for the moment a real map editor ships

4. You actually got the Attack Bob patch to work

3. You sidestep around corners "To get a better line of sight..."

2. Upon entring an unfamiliar room, you flip all the light switches you
can find and knock on walls to find "secrets"

1. Two words: Nerf Weapons

0. When annoying co-worker gets in your way in the
   hall, you try reaching for your flamethrower.
