...When you yell out, "By the Bristling Beard of Odin, this will not stand!" when your boss asks you to fly out of town on father's day... and I didn't, but I think he thinks I'm mental.

Is it because of what you said or is it because he knows you?

..you pretend to use the Force on automatic doors.

...you try to explain DC's history to a friend.

...you get mad at non-comic book readers who think they know everything just because they saw the movie/tv version.

...you get mad at guys who wear comic book related t-shirts because they think it's cool, yet wouldn't be caught dead reading a comic.

...you hate those douchebag jocks with the Superman symbol on their trucks and know squat about the character.

HA! Reminds me of an old manager I had! He threatened to write me up, and I looked at him and said, "That would be a REALLY bad idea.."

He asked me if I was threatening him and I told him, "No, I'm just saying it would be a REALLY bad idea for YOU..." Needless to say, he didn't write me up....
