Lemme know when our carriers get here

RE: You know you play too much WITP when...
You know you play to much WiTP when... You take a family trip to the beach, while driving 2 separate vehicles you wonder if the TF will stay together (in this case the transports or women in the car miss a turn and get lost as usual where our cellphones are blacked out no less).
Secondly you get to the beach, sit in a chair and wonder how many assault points you need to take this beachhead. Then you wonder how many it would take to take the island (We went to Anna Maria island in florida).
Lets just say I miss WiTP after being on vacation 3 days[:D]

RE: You know you play too much WITP when...
The complete list (From an old thread)
You know you've played too much WitP when...
Your afraid to go near a body of water because the KB might be lurking near-by.
You secretly hope your boss gets affected by the leader replacement bug.
You run a complete circle around your co-worker and tell him he can't move because you own all the ZOC around him.
You pile food, 1ft high, on your plate because your wife hasn't imposed any "Stacking limits"
You wonder why Hostess doesn't just switch all production to twinkes because the other models are "inferior".
Your sitting on the toilet and you pretend your a SBD that has just dropped a 1000lber on the Akagi. (Warning: May turn into a B-25 dropping 40 parafrag bombs on Okinawa after a bowl of spicy Chili)
You try to open up the base information on a screenshot on the forum
Your wife asks you to go to the store and you reply that you can't because your range is set to zero
You look at the time and think "Its the am air phase"
You look for a cheap "replenshment station" when you need gas
You shop for "supply points"
You judge people by their leadership and inspiration skills.
You watch the history channel and laugh at everything they say about
Bombing the fuel farm at Pearl Harbor
The AVG
Japanese jungle training
You wonder if you have enough polictical points to
Get a new old lady....??? (oxymoron)
You have a map of the Pacific complete with hexes imprinted on your eyeballs when you try to sleep.
"After this turn" replaces "Yes dear" when responding to your old lady
In your history class, as the professor gives an analysis of each PAcific invasion, you think "I can/did do it better."
Iin history class, as the professor talks of the ETO, you say "Damn you Eisenhower for stealing my replacements.
In history class, you fail each test because in your view, Japan didn't lose at Midway. After all, you have the AAR to prove it.
Watching Star Wars, as droves of X Wings get shot down you scream "Damn Zero Bonus!"
Watching the movie Flying Tigers, you wonder why all the Zeros have their wheels down.
Within six minutes you can pick out every flaw in the movie Pearl Harbor.
In geography class, your proffessor asks why on your maps you have arrows with "invade here" on them.
Playing Silent Hunter III you wonder how to set the boat to Computer Control.
You look at a cruise ship and wonder how it creates PT boats.
You put your car in the body shop and wonder why it doesn't upgrade.
You just wait that your GF Mark-VII falls asleep to remove your arm from the romantic hug, moving like a thief in the night you get in the other room, light a sigarette , switch the laptop on, open the mail and look for another turn in your mailbox
It doesn't even occur to you that she might be right
You know she is right....and no longer care.
You get into stupid historical arguments over trivial subjects that have nothing to do with how the game is played
...or with people who don't even own or play said game
You know where Banjarmasin, Teloekbetoeng, Pago-Pago and Sag Sag are. (level 1)
Worst of it, you are planning to go there for holidays... (level 2)
Worst of it, you are taking your laptop with you and only plan to go in hotels with Internet connexion. (level 3)
Worst of it, in the end you stay at home, because you forgot to stop playing to take the flight. (level 4)
You have trouble distinguishing between your latest PBM and real history
You march from the train station to your office in time to the WitP music that won't leave your head, or you watch the Pacific Life commercials during the football games and think the music with the whale is wrong
Your mother-in-law passes away and in remembrance you take a minute and order flowers from Amazon.com
After a year of preparation, you are about to invade Iwo Jima and your wife comes in, rubs your aching shoulders and playfully offers to help you "hoist the flag"-and you, dumbass that you are, ignore her
You hope that when you get home from work that tonight is the night your wife and daughter are at a 4-H meeting so that you don't have to fight them for computer time
At show and tell, your kid tells his class his daddy is actually Douglas McArthur and will soon be returning to the Phillipines
You insist that your friends call you Admiral Nimitz, but your GF can simply call you Sir
When everyone in your office gives you concerned looks when you leap from your chair shouting kill, kill, kill, not realising your torpedo planes just made a pass at the Akagi.
Your wife wants sex and all you remember of sex is that" it has something to do with the final protective fire" (FPF)
Your children sleep with their mommy while you sleep in the study next to the computer
You tell your wife that you've been promoted, she asks you the details (like how much money more) and you tell her .... you got the fifth star on the WitP forum!!
Your wife leaves you for the pool boy and you don't find out until your carriers get back to Pearl four months later
The trash can next to your computer is filled with your own urine
When you see a thread on the WitP forum with 3 pages and wonder why no one has brought up the subject of beer yet
You have a laptop charged up in the bathroom for the inevitable jalapeno burrito night. Gotta have something to do until the Immodium AD outs up the dam
From a history professor's keyboard:
You read your AAR to show how it was REALLY done.
You accidently (maybe purposely) lecture your students on how you fought the war and not how it ACTUALLY happened. SAD NOTE: Many students wouldn't know the difference!
You go off in the middle of the Battle of Midway lecture about UPER-CAP!
When you accidently refer to the lessoning of the Zero-Bonus as a reason for why Coral Sea was lost by the Japanese.
Students get confused when you begin ranting about the "Death Star." They THINK you are talking about Star Wars...
When your description of the Yorktown surviving is described as "that damaged American Damage control button being 'on'!"
And finally, a few other comments from the thread worth mentioning at this time A few days back, I offered to take the wife and kids out to eat to celebrate......to celebrate that my Nells had hit the Lexington with 5 fish!

Funny, but I've decided to get a large map of the Pacific for use to track things. I suppose my wife won't mind as the office could use something on one of the walls. [:)]

You know you play to much WiTP when... you daily feed bluejay's by throwing peanuts down, then look up into the tree's to see them scouting out the ground, and when they get ready to dive down you yell out "Dive Bombers! Enemy Dive bombers!!" (From the movie midway).
