    - You took up sailing and fencing after playing Monkey Island (any one).
    - You named your prized fencing epee 'El Pollo Diablo'.

    Whenever you see a skull, you automatically say "Murray?"

    I actually had this when I visited a "skull museum" in an Austrian village :D But it was years ago :p
    You see a pointless item such as a wheel of cheese and think "Yep. I'm gonna need that."

    Yup, this too every day in my apartment when I should throw things away ;)
    when you have monkey island theme as your cellphone ringtone (like me...)

    Me, my brother and DAD had LeChuck theme for years, because DAD made it :cool:

    I actually did do that. And it worked...twice I think. The third time I tripped over a chair and well...the escape didn't really work out. XD

    -For Halloween you beg your roommates to get a skull and a walkie-talkie just so you can scream out "PUNY MORTALS!! PREPARE TO BE ROLLED THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL!"

    -You draw a skull on your white board that is on your dorm door Murray that says "BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Happy Halloween Puny Mortals!!"

    -Whenever you do laundry, and pull out of the dryer underwear, you say "Sheer, Sexy, and Playful. And pleanty support for the active pirate" and get plenty of blank stares.

    -While waiting for said laundry, you start humming the Silver's Long John song.

    - Whenever you have Roast Beef, you run down the stairs shouting, "How appropriate! You fight like a cow!"
    - Whenever you have a family Reunion you consider apes.
    - Whenever you see someone picking their nose, you hope they don't end up in a massive struggle.
    - When you think "Caught Red Handed" means they've been picking their nose..

    -When you bought "On Stranger Tides" after hearing it inspired Monkey Island

    ... after scouring every used-book and thrift store you know, because it's so very out of print, shrieking when you find a copy, holding it over your head like you were just awarded a quest item in Zelda, and reading it from cover to cover in less than two days.

    When talking to a good friend from middleschool for the first time in awhile a few months ago, this is how the conversation went;

    Me:OHMYGOD YOU ARE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHAT I JUST FOUND OUT

    Her: Lemme guess; they came out with a new Monkey Island?

    Me:......am I really that predictable?


    Apparently, my middleschool friends still remember me being 'the girl who really liked that Monkey Island game.' Life is good. :)

    - you simultaneously almost explode your laptop and your sky+ because you're trying to keep up with Most Haunted Live, FlashForward, Stargate Universe, CSI Miami, Warehouse 13 AND keep refreshing the TTG Site to see if they've released the damn chapter yet.....and keep checking the Bad Taste Bears site for the Christmas bear..... *sigh* Now I just sound OCD

    - You feel the need to have a spitting contest whenever you order a green mixed cocktail at a bar.
    - You automatically befriend someone just because they play MI too.
    - You found out about TMI because you have randomly Googled "Monkey Island" every couple of months for the last 5 years. (*Guilty*)
    - You've seen Guybrush die in SMI.
    - You know tons of obscure color names (cerulean, chartreuse) because of Herman Toothrot's philosophical question.

    Added:
    - You use the "English (Pirate)" language setting on your Facebook page. :D You should try it, if you haven't!

    - When you read at your computer (or just get bored, for that matter) you grab the small electric keyboard next to your desk and start mindlessly playing the Monkey Island theme on it with one hand.
    - When you think about Morgan frequently for an entire month because you know she's got some issues with her life, then at the end of the month you get to watch her become even less happy with her life, which then ends, then you spend an entire month thinking about her even more frequently.

    Apparently I managed to associate a song I was listening to a lot with Morgan during the first half of that last one, because shortly after I started listening to it, it reminded me of Morgan every time I heard it.

    - When you have a dream in which a pale Guybrush is singing Pamplemousse (Divine Comedy) with Winslow on the drums...

    -When you successfully got one of your roommates to know who Guybrush Threepwood is after elaborating the entire MI series, and get them to watch Chap. 4 and they are equally shocked with the turn of events and is just as eager as you are for the next chapter.

    When you see someone struggling to solve a problem and you start listening Good Lechuck's theme in your head and start asking 'Did you try ....? or plainly saying 'Use ____ with ____' (I'm still unable to get into a situation where "Use Merkey with yourself" could apply, but I already used "Use Breath Mints with Yourself")
