I especially like #4 - PM Action Figures
They could be based on the images in the top o' screen rotation.
I'd like to offer a corrolary to zdog's Top 10:
You know you're in the company of PM Junkies when... you stay up an hour late at PM then wake up an hour early to hit PM, and the same monks from across the globe are still at the Monastery. <big grin>
cheers,

My action figure has a kung-fu grip! His secret power is eval().

$_, shouldn't that be?
My action figure has a kung-foo grep()!?
#!/home/bbq/bin/perl
# Trust no1!

My action figure comes with the Buddha Belly attack, and two empty Surge bottles to throw. His secret power is Benchmark, which he does obsessively....

The number one PerlMonks action figure - Vroom with "The Mule", and the "Old Server Target Pack".
I'd buy one...

Oooh, I like.
If I act now can I also get the bonus Schwartzian Transformer action figure, the secret PerlMonks map (), and, and, oh dang, I forget-- which one is that has the +10 regexp of death and +20 ob-fu of confusion?

My action figure comes with their own perlmonks
robe. Their secret power is quoting regular expressions
that make the bad guy's head spin.

I knew that some of the guys that I worked with (you know who you are maverick) and I were on perlmonks when we happened to simultaneously reload perlmonks, and at the same exact second we reloaded, we both got a server error. Simultaneously we both made a very homer-simpson-ish "doh" sound, and then stared at each other from accross the hall, because we realized what had just happened... i'm telling you... this stuff's addictive. | [reply] |

This has actually happened to me lately :-)
13. You instinctively look for the "++" and "--" buttons in
other places (like Slashdot, mailing lists, etc.)
14. The inverse: When you post something to a non-PerlMonks
forum (Slashdot, mailing lists, etc.) you instictively try
to go back and see how much rep your post has gained or lost.

What if it is always there when you look? Should that be
taken as a sign it is always there..?

Now we also have diagnostic criteria for: ChatterBox Addictions
Update:
You know you're addicted to PerlMonks when...
"Dinner with friends" means a cold slice of pizza while typing in the ChatterBox...
You adjust your wake/sleep cycles around the time you get your new supply of votes...

When you look on Newest Nodes, there's five posts, and four are yours. (This just happened to me.)
