You know you game too much when...

[der_kluge]

So, I'm driving home last night, and as I merge onto the highway, I see this 18-wheeler drive by me, and I notice his mud flaps.

"tri-stat" it says. "Wow, that's bizarre", I thought.

Then as it gets further away, I see that the metal bars behind the mud flap are obscuring another "e". "tri-state".

"OH! That makes a lot more sense!"

I couldn't figure out why this trucker was advertising BESM at first. Boy, did I feel stupid.


Share your experiences.

Aren't Big Eyes and a Small Mouth both symptoms of heavy amphetamine use?

you know you game too much when...

you goto the FLGS, the old dialup connections to someone's home bulletin board, or eventually newsgroups just so you can stay connected with the latest trends.

you continue to read, buy, paint, roll up NPCs, and map out dungeons long after your campaign has gone the way of the dodo in hopes that the next time you get together with your old mates you will play.

you hang out on message boards for years even though they don't talk about the game you want to play in the hopes you can gleen enough players to game again.

and like the mastercard commercial...

you hook up and start a new OD&D campaign... Priceless.

I used to pass by a "D&D Florists" on my way to work everyday -- in fact, I used to date the neice of the owner.

On the by-pass down from my house, there's a "D&D beauty supply" next to a gun shop. Neither of these places I couldn't pass by without noting the name to whomever I drove with. Until they started telling me to shut up about it.

My gaming materials has served as ride-alongs with me to work many times in the past, when I was too lazy to take them out after the weekend. More than once, a co-worker has asked me what I was studying for.

There was a D&D Cafe in a medical building I went to. Went belly up though. :\

AD&D - Accidental Death and Dismemberment - it's insurance to most people!

This is sort of a related category:

You know you use IRC too much when you say "Away from keyboard." instead of, "I'm going to go read." Yes, I actually said that outloud to my roommate as I walked out of the computer room.

Most people interpret "AC" as Air Conditioning...

Of course, I was watching football with my seven-year-old daughter one day and the runner broke several tackles. She said, "He must have a lot of armor class."

Cool daughter.

This is sort of related to the thread:

Arkham Thai - I love Thai food, and when I moved to my current apartment, I was thrilled that there was a Thai restaurant right in the neighborhood. I also thought it was cool it had the same name as Lovecraft's fictional town, so I knew I had to eat there right away.

When I saw the menu, the actual name of the restaurant was ArkhaRN Thai. The lettering on the awning outside makes it look like Arkham.
