You know that you're addicted to the Downs when you think you see Thinlomien walking into the classroom. I actually jumped to my first and just gawked at the person, like this:

, until she gave me a confused look. My friends thought I was crazy after that (which isn't entirely false).

Have you been attending The University of San Antonio, over here in Texas, lately, Thinlomien?

You know you're addicted to the 'Downs when you unconsciously favour one of the children in your class simply because she has the same name as your RPG character!

Using Tolkien, the Barrow Downs, and its members to partially describe what defines who I am for a speech in my speech class.

I think normal people would not find the following line in a TV series particularly amusing...

Soldier (to his wife): "The big bosses like me. If I went back, I would get a promotion. I could even be a legate. Hey, how would you like it, being a legate's wife?"

...but Greenie and I laughed almost hysterically.

What amused me was that it reminded me of a poem by Bertolt Brecht:

Quote:

What was sent to the soldier’s wife
From the ancient city of Prague?
From Prague came a pair of high heeled shoes,
With a kiss or two came the high heeled shoes
From the ancient city of Prague.

etc
