4. If ever you see an otter, you look for Juska tattoos.
5. Every time your pet mouse is out, you are convinced he is looking intently at the kitchen knives.
6. In the same day, you buy a pet hare, and a padlock for your fridge.
7. When cats start pinning things with their claws, you KNOW they're plotting something. You just KNOW!!
8. An eagle flies overhead; you run inside screaming, "ARGULOR!!!!!"
9. Whenever you visit an abbey, you look for mice on the tapestries.
10. You get low marks and raised eyebrows in biology and psychology for saying that when badgers sleep, they dream of extinct volcanic mountains.

16. What? Why are you staring?
17. I DID!!!
18. In a way, you worship red sandstone.
19. If a book doesn't have talking animals, an abbey, warrior spirits, or hordes, you toss it in the fireplace.
20. You refer to "english" as "woodland."
21. You walk right up and pet badgers, because, as you know, badgers are good creatures.
22. You have been repeatedly mauled by badgers.
23. Whenever you give someone directions, it's always in a rhyming riddle.
24. Every time you get a new assignment at school or work you consider it your "quest."
25. You check to see if any of the squirrels you see talk in Olde English.
26. You leave the trail at the nature preserve and scramble down to the river bank, to ask the otters there if they can give you directions to camp Willow.
27. The otters bite you.
28. Before they bite you, you are absolutely certain you saw them shifting their eyes, like they were hiding something.
29. You have gone to jail for one or more of the following...
A. stalking Brian Jacques.
B. giving small children ale and cordial.
C. carrying a weapon (sword, battle ax, pike, etc.) around town.
D. Using said weapon on shifty looking pedestrians.
30. You know more about Martin the Warrior than you do about your own child.

32. You have memorized the exact order of all the badger lords, abbots, abbey warriors, and their relation to each other.
33. You sold your entire wardrobe and wear only habits and sandals.
34. You measure time in seasons.

36. You've built a haredee gurdee.
37. You've played your haredee gurdee.
38. You've tripped over your haredee gurdee.
39. You stay up late pondering the question, "If bad creatures can become good, can good creatures become bad?"
40. You move to the forest and live off of nothing but what you can grow.
41. You move back to the city, half starved, after realizing that Redwall has an orchard, a pond, a garden, a forest, and scores of paws to help farm it all, and you just have some corn seeds you found outside Wal-mart.
42. You have written a Redwall fanfic.
43.You wonder what pine martin tastes like.
44.You call it "The Corsairs of the Caribbean."
45. You read this list.
I have nothing against Epic Redwall fans, far from it, I just read a list like this for Stargate SG-1 lately (if you like Redwall and SG-1, then you are in for a surprise within the next few weeks) and thought it was a good idea.

SCORE (mark any of these that apply to you)

0-5: you are a poor excuse for a Redwall fan, but your sanity is probably more intact than our's.
6-30: Not bad, Brian Jacques would be proud, or possibly stare at you then slowly back away.
31 and over: You are the pinnacle of Redwall fanaticism, you are also most likely in an insane asylum, kudos!
