You know you're an MPI fan when ...
... you start forming your thoughts into inner monologues and wonder why you never actually hear them.
... you tell about past events as if they were "war stories" (like "... this reminds me of my short stay in Romania in 2014, it was an extraordinarily hot, yet fortunately hardly humid summer, our comrades were just trying to order a cold beer ...)
... you wonder if you have illegitimate half-brothers all over the globe and when they are finally gonna show up.
... you cannot figure out someone's phone number or address and wish you knew someone from the local intelligence agency you can ask for research for a few doughnuts.
... you meet an ornithologist and wonder if he might secretly be a refugee from Hungary.
... you decide to call the Hungarian embassy to find out
... you finally decide not to, the KGB could run behind him
... you get yourself two dogs and name them Zeus and Apollo
... you perfectly know all roads and buildings of O'ahu - although you have never been there - but fail finding a certain supermarket in your hometown
... you answer any inconvenient question with "No need to know."
... you thank others saying "mahalo"
... you, more then 40 years after the end of the Vietnam war, still refer to HCMC as "Saigon" (and glance at others like a damaged car if they use the current name).
... you toast "to the regimen" when drinking with others
... your favorite beer is Düsseldorfer Alt (unless you really live in or near Düsseldorf)
... you never drink scotch on ice because you think civilized people don't put ice into it.
... you intervene if other people use shortcuts or colloquial terms of "private investigator"
