you see a harvester and think with a few mods that it looks just like a Masakari/Warhawk.

You see an Alpha Fighter or Beta Fighter in Robotech and wonder why they were never among the Unseen. 8)

You consider BBC America to be "Davion Propaganda."

when you realise that politics in Battletech make far more sense than they do in the real world and you wish the real world could adopt the BT political system

You tell people, "I'm not fat, I'm an Elemental."

The concept of the AIV Urbanmech is within the bounds of normal.

when, after gaining some weight, you step on a scale and think you went from a meduim to an assault. and wonder "When did i become a Lyran?"

you believe the solution to every problem involves an aneutronic, p â€“¹¹B fusion reactor.

(c'mon, tell me that it doesn't! :D)

When you ask your broker what the current exchange rate for C-Bills is.

When you think about driving to the other side of town, and then over into the boonies, just to show an online friend your Unseen miniatures. ::)

You make post #2750, as I just did at this website, and realize that it is the number on a Star League Technical Readout.

Then you make post #2751, as I am doing right now, and realize that Simon Cameron was killed that year... :o

When you watch the harpoon/AT-AT scene in The Empire Strikes Back and think "Yeah! Force a PSR!"

When you play BattleTech on Halloween in place of dressing up and going out trick-or-treating.

And then you listen to Ministry, who are from the same town as FASA, and they sing "Every Day Is Halloween"... implying that you should be playing BattleTech every day!!!! :D

Trajan · « **Reply #16 on:** 30 October 2011, 20:33:17 »

You walk into a gun store to browse and ask to see their selection of portable gauss rifles. ::)

While shopping at the FORD dealership...
"nice lance of matching Tauruses you have there" :-[ ;D

Totally awkward moment whilst the Son&Heir laughed hysterically.

When you find yourself wishing that there was a Clan Honey Badger.

When you finish playing a game of BattleTech, which has to be continued another day because I only killed one opposing 'Mech, and then you immediately have to get onto ClassicBattleTech.com to talk about what happened in the game you just played.

Kind of like the pilot's lounge at BattleTech Center back in 1992... [notworthy]

VF1LAM · « **Reply #22 on:** 29 November 2011, 11:32:38 »

When you finish playing a game of BattleTech, and instead of putting the miniatures away, you start selecting more miniatures for the next game. 8)

When you are using Robotech.com, and you still have to promote BattleTech fights between different 'Mechs at the WarZone. 8)

VF1LAM · « **Reply #26 on:** 21 December 2011, 13:36:06 »

You post too many fight threads at the WarZone on Robotech.com, and the moderators tell you to take a break from creating threads there.

VF1LAM · « **Reply #27 on:** 24 December 2011, 08:07:18 »

Your collectibles closet, in which you store your BattleTech miniatures, has an on-deck area for miniatures to be used in the next game.

Syzyx · « **Reply #28 on:** 24 December 2011, 22:05:41 »

You feel you can't afford to leave some minis out of circulation long enough to prime and paint in case you want to use them in your next game... (and this is a sad truth...)

You avoid driving in bad weather because you aren't skilled enough for the PSR checks.
