When you see a Wheel Barrow painted white and think "Ha-ha! Wheel Barrow Wight! "

...

Yes.

When you laugh so hard at Hooky's post above that your bemused housemates stare at you and when you try to explain ... well, let's just say they really didn't get it.

When finding the verb "caber" from your book makes your Spanish lesson suddenly far more amusing than it was before...

Does this count: for the last two days or so, I've been mistyping every single word ending in -mit as -mith, like just a while ago I wrote admith. And I don't even realise the typo before reading through it again...

When this suddenly reminds you of this post*, for example: "Its a wheel bawow wight!"

*It might be because its Hookbilll's thread, or it might be because I go on the Downs too much...

This sounds to me like like a classic case of Mithalwen addiction.

Maybe we should start a new thread "Are you addicted to a Downer's name?" or something like that.

I was copying political songs on to my computer: My player automatically downloads the titles for the songs, but this time it downloaded them without capital letters so I had to edit them. At the song "Kommunismin ylistys" (Praise to Communism) I typoed an L instead of a K in the beginning and found Praise to Lommunism quite amusing.

EDIT: Oh, and this was also amusing when it got to Xyzzy.

I was aware of having a potentially addictive personality - I didn't realise it was contagious. FOr Lommie's sake I hope there is a 12 step programme.

Hey we played great in that game!

We never ever expected to have a chance against the Czechs, our turnament only really started against Italy. (Which we beat last night 6-2)
