96) Someone asks you to introduce a speaker and you suggest he ought to introduce himself.

97) Someone posts a problem and you wait for Dov to explain what he really means.

98) You go to the zoo and see a giraffe and start hummin "kah ribon olam"

99) You thought of a great post during shmoneh esrei

100) You came to this site with one addiction and now you have 2.

101) You keep clicking "Show unread posts since last visit" until you have read them all, then you keep clicking until someone posts.  If no one posts for 3 seconds, you suffer withdrawal.

102) You call the help desk and they ask "how can I help you" and you reply "The heck with me, what can I do for you?"

103) You never drank before, but now you find yourself in a liqour store buying a bottle of Woodford.

104) The place cards at your simcha include screen names.

105) You go to buy a car and ask for powerless windows and locks.

106) Your wife sees a mouse and wants to call the exterminator. You beg her not to because you just can't bring yourself to harm a mouse.

107) You wonder why there are not 90 days between Pesach and Shavuos?

108) Some people have inspirational sayings hanging in their office.  You have a toy truck on your desk.

109) You wish there were only 3 seasons and we could abolish Fall.

111 (approximately).  After you decide to use your real name on the forum for the sake of honesty and recovery, you start introducing yourself to people in real life as "Eye.Nonymous," or some other type of name like that.

...When you can no longer buy a bag of black jellybeans or a bottle of Woodford because you are afraid someone might notice.

i think this should be #137

137. at the shabbos seuda, a guest says "i see you have some really good stuff here" pointing to the Woodford, and you almost ask if he wants some gestaltzimfleegen to go along with it (happened to me this past shabbos)
