#2352 You've played with the gamma cranked up so high for so long that you try to hide in a tree's shadow at noon... in real life.

#2353 You hear someone having an athsma attack in the next room and you dive for your holy water.

#2354 You've successfully snuck up on a conscious cat.

#2358 - You've taken to speaking in "Benny-ish" in normal everyday conversation, especially where it's most innapropriate

example:

MIS Director - Look, people, I want external order lookup deployed by friday. The salespeople on the road need this and I'm sick as s*it of being bitched at about it!

Me - "That's stoopid! People tah worry about they're on the inside!"

Girlfriend: "Hmmm...snuggle wif me, baybee"

Me: "What fer? Thishere coat's plenty warm, uhh, and it's not even cold out!"

Co-Worker: "If I have to sit through one more goddamned meeting today..."

Me: "Heh. Sooprised yer even in this job. 'ooooh the blood, it just turns my poor tummy!"

Awesome, ionia23.

#2359 Every time you see a door with a horizontal handle, you reach for your lockpicks.

#2360 You are absolutely shocked when, spending some time outside for the first time in quite a while, you see day actually BECOME night! Without a level change!

#2361 You don't ever worry about long-term changes. If nothing changes in the next 10 seconds, it's not going to, right?
