You know you've been at GMG too long when . . .

..when you ask all people on your e-mail contacts to register as members here and send you PMs at GMG instead of e-mails.

I like this one!

When you call the search option "Opus" in the hope it will also dig up the link you've been searching for for the last hour...

Really, Daniel, that's what Christmas money is for!

OTOH, if you've spent all of your real money on CD's...
Thank goodness I've also bought food and some clothes, too.

Highly over-rated in comparison tooo e.g. a complete Wagner opera collection, including Die Feen, or how about the complete works of Lord Berners ?   0:)

Hah!
I do have a single disc of Wagner overtures conducted by Karajan, Walter, Mengelberg, Leinsdorf, and Furtwängler (or my parents have).

I didn't need to know of the other guy, though.

Food and clothes. Man oh man. I knew I was forgetting something.

Yeah, that does produce the odd look from friends

What clothes? I already bought some clothes once.

Food, I still need...but clothes? Ask Jens about my sartorial sense...he's seen me in my version of formal attire at a classical concert

Random example of this. I have a quote from the great sitcom Better Off Ted on the entry to my office here at work: "Just once I wish you'd bring me a sparkler and cotton candy and tell me I have the number one album in America." I point at it whenever things go SNAFU. But a lot of people visit me just to meet me, since I'm new, and also a lot of office mates just swing by and say hello. So far I've noticed literally everybody reading it, but NOBODY has made any comment about it whatsoever: no "I love Better Off Ted!" (not surprising... it's a cult classic), but also no "what does this mean?" or "where's this from?" or "why is there a weird quote and a picture of Portia De Rossi in business attire on your wall?"

Side note: if you haven't seen Better Off Ted, you're missing the spiritual heir of Arrested Development. Also canceled in its prime (actually maybe before we knew how good it could have been...), solid gold from start to end.

I wouldn't get the reference, but if I visited your cubicle I'd ask what it meant! I haven't seen the show but if it's anything like Arrested (the Holy Grail of sitcoms) I will like it. Will try to find it.
