1388) You post to a 1000 Clues thread that you, yourself, started under a different alias just to get the new alias on the thread.

1368) All is silent until you hear someone around the corner, and then get an
uncontrollable urge to stop, crouch and peek around the corner...
1369) As you are walking across a metal grate, you think to yourself, "dang, where

not highlighted in blue.

1396:you use TTLG forum member's footnotes, to impress girls at the pub. "i live by a motto, surripio ergo sum, d'you know what that means...."

1400: you start to think that saying: "I like to take my payment in money, not Liquor." in a pub is Ironic.
Hey Jorg, there's an option to edit your posts to corrct your mistake. The option is at the top of each post.
You play thief to much when you start working on your Garrett halloween costume in the middle of June. Very bad.
1402) While just starting Bonehoard...you decide to go get some bug repellent out of your garage so you can pass through that first swarm of insects to get those jewels lying on the ground in that dark passage.
1403)You propose to Viktoria and decide that you two will be wed in the Haunted Cathedral.
1404) You practice hoops so much in the trainer that you try to have a basketball tournament with the guard.
1405) You start to wonder if the zombie that you're aiming your holy water arrow at is Cutty.
It is kind of funny now when I think of this...that it actualy was my job to play Thief too much. Now...I don't have a job and I have all the time in the world to play it. But it's just not same without all that pizza and Mountain Dew.
Some of the stuff I posted in a similar forum:
You KNOW you're playing thief too much when...
1) You say 'arse' instead of 'ass'.
2) Your parents, classmates, siblings, friends, etc. never notice you anymore, and when they do, it's accompanied by phrases such as "I didn't see you there!" and "Whoa, you were there all along?"
3) The power goes out and you scramble to relight the bulbs by shooting them with fire arrows. Now where did I put them?
4) Everyone within you vicinity at class has empty pockets.
5) Your teacher was found knocked out in the boiler room.
6) You eat cheese and deer leg and wonder why you don't hear the 'crunch'.
7) For some reason, your right eye has been showing some interesting capabilities lately...
8) You wonder why the stuff in your pockets don't show up in your inventory.
9) You make a bow and arrow in shop and start shooting at teachers from dark corners.
10) You have the urge to throw bottles instead of drinking from them.
All based on true stories. (that's sad, really!)
Little bit of private and yes, off topic tidbit of my life. My last 'ex-boyfriend'...
- Wears black, all over.
- Wears pretty loud shoes
- Has smart ass (arse) remarks about everything
- Is a drop dead cynic
- Has an interest in ways to kill the undead
- Loves black leather outer wear
- Is really good at sneaking up on people and scaring them
- Is a great acrobat, specialty, climbing ropes
I think I need professional help...
Some more ways to tell if you've been playing too much Thief:
1) You wipe out on a mountain biking expedition and on coming home, you see your mother's bottle of Gucci Envy, and attempt to drink it. (it looks a ton like a healing potion!)
2) You can't get anywhere because your bedroom door doesn't light up
3) After having a totally wicked dream that you're stealing a bunch of priceless relics from a museum, you wake up and uh oh...
4) When you've been on ttlg's forums for as long as I have...
Later fellow taffers!
----------------------------------------
U know you need a break from Thief when:
1) You snicker and roll your eyes sarcastically at what the preacher says in church. (Those fanatics...)
2) You look around your shoulder every so often now. Who knows? Garrett might be right behind you ready to swipe your wallet/purse, or worse, to blackjack you.
3) You hear your own voice and jump 10 feet into the air in terror.
4) You ruin your own surprise birthday party because nowadays, you just notice everything!
5) Your parents tell you that you're grounded and you say quietly to yourself, "I know how to get out of Cragscleft already..."
**** **
- You look down, see two legs and feet, and say, "Where the #$@! did they come from!!!
It's pretty rough, but I used a copy & paste command and I'm too lazy to edit this any further... blah.

I'm not weird, I'm different.
(Don't kill me, all you old members)
But........
I thought this needed to be 'bumped' back into the current BB

Mr Croft, you have WAYY too much time on your hands.

1426) You actually realize that Mr Croft had alot of time on his hands when he posted this thread.
1427) When you actually post a "1000 clues that you might be a Thief Redneck..." thread. (Hey, why are you guys staring at me like that for?
