(Okay, a little bragging here . My father bought the 16-color version in the early nineties. A few years later I bought the 256-color version. When the diskettes became corrupt LucasArts were nice enough to send me the Monkey Island Madness CD. And now I've recently finished MI:SE. That's four. Count 'em. End of brag.)
~You're proud when people ask you how you met your husband/wife, and you can say that the reason you met was because the other had their favorite game listed as 'Monkey Island" In their online profiles.
~Your wedding cake toppers were sculpted to look like guybrush and elaine
~ The dog is named Guybrush.
Why do I know that is going to be my life 10 years from now.
Also, when you dress up as Elaine for Halloween, and you get really disappointed that everyone just thinks you're a generic pirate and you try and explain to them that you are in fact a well-loved Caribbean Governor. But no one gets it except for your friends who know of your obsession because you constantly talk about what Guybrush would do.
-You want an alarm clock that looks like a Pyrite Parrot.
-You make your own Real Feast of the Senses Map
-You like to explain to people that it's the mast of their ship.
-You have Monkey Island as your Wallpaper.
-You have printed a ton of Money Island to hang on your walls.
-You want Guybrush to talk in your GPS.
-You like it when people point at the map.
-You spent all day (even at work) on the these forums
-You put this :guybrush: in your signature.
pretty much all of your available messages on AIM are Monkey Island related.
- You toss MI quotes into conversations even if they aren't relevant.
-You spend a week trying to figure out if you can work an insult swordfighting mechanic into your D&D pirate campaign.
-When you bring up Monkey Island in a conversation about good stories in games and you let out a small squeal of fangirl glee when half the room responds with "How appropriate, you fight like a cow!"
(This happened to me last sunday with my new LARP group. We then proceeded to throw MI insults at each other for 20 minutes until the pizza delivery guy showed up.)
-You spend a week trying to figure out if you can work an insult swordfighting mechanic into your D&D pirate campaign.
Guilty. My Swashbuckler (Well, actually a Chaotic Good Aerialist Rogue using a Rapier, as 4e has no Swashbucklers) insults his foe when doing his extra Sneak Attack damage.
-You spend a week trying to figure out if you can work an insult swordfighting mechanic into your D&D pirate campaign.
Haha, this happened to me too! I asked my group's DM to create an insult swordfighting skill for my swashbuckler character. (this is not a pirate campaign, but we have many varieties of characters.)
- When you say 'Pappapisshu' instead of 'Youch.' (Happened to me, but on purpose.) Edit: Oops, already here. But I didn't misspell it!
- When you notice something like this in on of your favourite video games. (This is LotRO, and yes, I am dressed like King Graham.)

It makes sense to have a snarky swashbuckler after MI, doesn't it?
My chaotic neutral female minotaur Fighter/Swashbuckler from the last campaign (another Stormwrack based pirate one) insulted her foes as well, but she was a warhammer/ battle-axe dual wielder so it was more trash-talk than anything else.
Now that I got tossed DM duties and my Bugbear Swashbuckler is a PC as well (and dual wields swords) I figured now was a good time to work out a good system for it. I've got everything except the damage worked out really. Just hoping my group doesn't shoot it down because it's homebrew content. I mean, they've all played MI, but a couple of the players are real sticklers for the rules.
- You know you're obsessed with Monkey Island when you bring up the "You know you're obsessed with Monkey Island when...." thread after some time
- when right after someone brings up "You know you're obsessed with Monkey Island when...." thread again you have an uncontrollable urge to write something in it
- when you hate BTTF and Jurassic Park because you think instead of it they could be just doing one big happy new Monkey Island game
- when you think some computer game is good or bad only by comparing it to the Monkey Island game.
- when you laugh out loud anytime someone mentions ventriloquism.
- when you go to Zoo and tell your buddy that he has no idea what that snake has inside of it.
- when you think that Australians are ruthless millionaires.
- when you go to beach wearing dunce cap
- when you laugh in school during lecture on Marco Polo

See above.

Or just go to the toy store and pick on random kids.
