When, even in your own work, you cannot help but mention the Downs, even if *cough* subtly. This is one of three Downs references I've put into my pseudo mythology which includes Penguins as a race:

There is also a Bear called Legate and a Dinosaur called Rune in the legends...

Hahaha! Nice, Hookbill.

When my Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy prof told us one lecture class that she likes penguins, I almost blurted out, "Pareho kayo ni Lommy!" I caught myself just when the words were at the tip of my tongue..

(Pareho means same, kayo is you (plural). Do the math.

When you try to log in to a school computer with your BD user name and wonder why it's not working.

When you realise that you can mostly blame BD for having read so little lately. I used to spend more time with books and less with the computer. *sigh*

Am I just having a deja vu, or is it a sign of addiction that I think I remember someone saying something like this before?

You see penguins on the tv and immediately wonder if you should tell Lommy.

You look at Fight Club and as Edward Norton discovers his power animal is a penguing you think of Thinlómien.
