When you say things like, "There be McDonald's, place of food..."
When you ask your parents for the Sword of Rendreth for your birthday...
When you start saying things in a gibberish language in hopes of opening a portal to another world like that guy in the book...

Well, 's all I do.

When an aircraft flies overhead, you start screaming for everyone to hide from "the dragon." Then you try and shoot it down with an arrow. 8O

Does asking your wife count? Um, a friend...a good friend of mine reads a lot of fantasy, and he wants to know if he's, you know, in too deep.

Wife, hooker, grandma, whatever--it's JUST WRONG if you want them to call you "master Frodo"! Did I just say "grandmother" in that last sentence? Ew, EW . . . EW. *shoots self*

lit. lol
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner
