10.  The ring tone on your cell phone is the “Song of Seikilos.”
 
9.  You are more excited about them making UBS 5 than Godfather 4.
 
8.  While eating waffles with your kids, you say to them λεγωμαι εγω. 
LEGWMAI EGW.
 
7.  Your cats are named “Erasmus” and “Buth.”
 
6.  When you get a “Dear John” letter, instead of being upset,
 you begin diagramming the sentences.
 
5.  You’ve tried to translate “Egg McMuffin” into Koine.
 
4.  You wonder if the 7th edition of L.S.J., before Jones replaced
 Drisler, was called the L.S.D.
 
3.  Two words: spurious diphthongs.
 
2.  Your favorite T.V. program is “That LXX’s Show.”. 
 
And the number one sign that you are spending too much time
doing Greek:
  
1.  When people tell you to stop writing Top Ten lists and 
get a life, you wonder if they mean BIOS or ZWH.
