1. You think Omega 3 is an uncharted star system
2. You try to deal paracetemol claiming it's 'Cardamine'
3. You try to sell water to the mall, claming it's a commodity
4. You randomly ask people for jobs while out on a pub crawl
5. While driving to work, you try to enter formation with cars headed that way
6. You ask to have cruise engines fitted on your car
7. You fill in "LSF" in the previous employment field on your CV
8. You pull up alongside a truck telling them to 'Hand over their cargo or be blasted from the skies'.

9. If the subway/tube/train broke while are on it, you begin to look around looking for the pirates who disrupted the trade line.
10. Try to buy meat in the cheapest supermarket of the city and then sell it to the more expensive.
11. Think that your car it's not good enough, and download milkshape to make one better.
12. Go to a cementery of cars looking for wreckages.
13. You will travel on your summer holidays to kusari instead japan.
14. Found a rusted bed in a piece of open land and begin to screm "The hispania, the hispania!"
15. Run away from a gypsies camp, thinking that them are incredibily advanced and are preparing to invade the entire city from their Dyson Junk Vault.
16. Look the ass of any chinese/oriental girl and call her "Juni".
17. Don't buy that car because it doesn't have enough hard points to mount two submachineguns.

13 and 8 are classics. Who doesn't like the Kusari theme? You know in rural parts of Japan they have desegregated bath/spa places for both genders, and you would take the bath just like you would alone if you were a native.


18 When you play Starlancer, you are happy the afterburners never run out. Till they do.
19 You start playing Starlancer with your mouse and other Freelancer keys.
20 You expect Saudam Hussien to be infiltrated by the Order in a German cruiser.
21 You try to land on the Battleship MIssouri, in the Spaceship Endaveour.
22 You do not throw the ball in dodgeball until you see a recticle, and get hit in between the legs.
23 You try to target somebodies particular component in dodgeball, and if they are a battleship you fire because it requires no recticle. Bullies move slow.
24 You think it will take 20 shots for a Battleship Missouri to destroy a plane when only 1 is more than enough to destroy any planes within 100 meters of it.
25 When you call submarines Battleships, because they look like they are going through Kusari space underwater and look like the Batleship Missouri.

26. When you get cutoff on the highway and start wishing you had a CD or a Sunslayer.

27. When you try to open the solars menu in you car to find your way home.

28. When you attempt to install a "neural net" on yourself.

30. When you race home from the grocery store because "my Luxury Food is gonna spoil!"

31. You start asking around at the bars near your house if anyone can make you a Sidewinder Fang.

59. You throw nests full of wasps or hornets at other cars, hoping to make them stop so you can loot them.

61. You then go back to your car dealer and storm in angrily demanding to know why they didn't install a tractor beam in your car.
