And it took me a long time to figure out that they meant Prime Minister, not private message.

I definitely was just thinking "Private messages that are italicized!?" until I read the rest of your post!

My little sister was about to eat some blueberry cobbler yogurt, but when she opened it, a tiny glob flew out and landed on her shirt. She said something to the effect of "Evil cobbler!" and I instantly thought, "No, there's no cobbler in this game."

When your to do list includes, "Send Mac in for repairs" because your macbook's disc drive is busted, but every time you see it, you get a little concerned that Macalaure's in trouble.

You know, Eönwë you might be addicted to the Downs when you start telling people that their symptoms of addiction are perfectly normal, and you don't have to worry about it.

When you read this and honestly don't even think of the real meaning until after thinking about it - hard - for a long time. (I use Windows, not Mac.)

When you're driving along and have to do a double take because you thought you saw the screen name of a fellow Downer on a sign....It happened to me twice today....

Oddly enough I have seen the name of a Downer on a street sign. There is a Lindale Road about a twenty-five minute drive from my house.

There's an Esty Street in Ithaca, NY. It's not nearly as nice and welcoming as the real Esty, though.

Sign you're addicted to the Barrowdowns:

When you sit on a bus for 18 hours to go to a strange city in a strange country simply to meet people from the Downs.
