In the mid-1990’s, the Internet humor scene was proliferated by “Top Ten Signs”. It started with “Top Ten Signs You’re Addicted To The Internet”, and now includes Google and Blogging!
Well, I’m a self-confessed Asterix addict, and I tried to find signs you’re addicted to it, but there were none. Hence, I decided to come up with my own. So here goes…

10. You exclaim ‘By Toutatis’ in surprise.
9. You feel hungry after seeing Obelix eat boars.
8. You think all happy events should be celebrated by a feast.
