2554) you sit cursing thiefsie fool for 12 hours because s/he has the same plan as you. Now you will have to sit watching the forums 24/7 so you can get it.

2557) You get bored of watching the forums and go play thief.

2558> (this one really happened to me)

In the middle of an english GCSE mock paper, you use the word "taffer" as if it were any other word, i.e, "taff off you taffing taffer" (not that far off the one i used) and then get it corrected to taffir by the examinator.

2559) Whilst watching Return of the King, you immediately think of poor Giry from Song of the Caverns at a certain scene (this one happened to me).

2558 - You're playing and you hear a noise behind you. You move the mouse and wonder why the heck the view didn't change.

2559 - You're listening to footsteps on your right side and turn your head so you're right ear is closer, so you can triangulate the sound better.

2660 - You compulsively take screenshots of Constantine's house so you can build your own house like that.

(If these are repeats, sorry, I can't read all 29 pages at the moment. I will someday though, when my mom isn't on patrol. )

2661) You wonder how the "ceiling" tiles in the upsidedown areas have survived so long, because mouse houses' ceiling material is very easy to damage or break.

2562) You stop believing in God because you became converted by the Hammerites. (see #192)

2564) You begin to read books based on their titles -- you imagine they might give you some more insight into the Thief world. e.g.,
* "The Box Man" by (Taffer) Kobo Abe
Basso's life story!
* "The Art and Craft of Pounding Flowers: No Ink, No Paint, Just a Hammer" by (Priestess) Laura C. Martin
Hammerites' Guide to Pounding Out Pagans
* "Making Wooden Mechanical Models: 15 Designs With Visible Wheels, Cranks, Pistons, Cogs, and Cams" by (Brother) Alan Bridgewater
Yes, we all know how the Mechanists started.. First they built models.. Then they bult doomsday devices.. :ebil:

deadman.

P.S. True story about the first one! I was trying to figure out exactly what a 'box man' was (I think it involves being experts at manipulating lockboxes) and found that among others. It's really good, too :D
