Oldman,

You can count on my vote in the great "You know you've played civ too long when... " Apolyton contest!

I wasn't a religious guy until now, but you showed me the light! You civilized me!

Sid Meier bless you!

Ahhh, yes. Just had to keep this going. (What is the record for the longest thread, anyway?)

When you dream in grasslands and irrigated rivers.
When you block your neighbor's sidewalk, so he can't get to his house (city) or trim his hedges (farm his special) or save his house (palace) from his rambunctious kids (marauding barbs, civs, or cruel warlords).
When you scour the 'net looking for the "Gilligan" scenario.
When, after you don't find it, you create a "Gilligan" scenario--and you put the "Mary Ann" kingdom right next to yours. (Yes, my sweet, let King Gilligan trade fine techs with you.)
When you create your very own calendar, based on the course of "Civ II"--Before Writing(BW), After Gunpowder(AG), 200 moves until Christmas, the holidays of "We Celebrate the Consul" and "We Love the King," the Creation of the Universe at 4000bc, the "I've Got Howitzers!" day you take off from work, the end of the year at "AC Takeoff!"
When you have midi files of the Civ II music on your totally unrelated web site. (And no I don't.)
When you find a "Civilization II" textbook in a college classroom, and you thank Sid Meier for finally updating the manual.
When you cast your very own CIV II movie:
Jesse Ventura as the Military Advisor.
Anne Heche as the Science Advisor (of course she's in drag)
Matthew Broderick as the Trade Advisor.
Lucy Liu as the Foreign Advisor (ooh la,la!)
An overweight Robert De Niro as that Elvis guy. (Unh, huh, thank you very much)
Tyra Banks as the Zulu Warrior Queen
John Goodman as the Viking King
Renee O'Connor as the Celtic Queen
Jackie Chan as Mao Tse Tung
The Donald as the American Big Shot
A very made up Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) as Gandhi
And last, but not least, Howie Long as . . .
THE BARBARIAN KING!

Playing civ as the night rolls on... Discovered conscription, Leo's turns all my musketeers into riflemen. Those pesky mongols are threatening war... Again! When will they ever learn? Hit the end of turn...
What's this? The mongols and zulus are allied against me and a huge army of combined are laying siege to my outer cities! arghhh, what can I do? How did I miss that hut? hmmnn.. scrolls of ancient wisdom... STEALTH?!?!?! a few turns later, mongol cities lie in ruin, their armies are all but disbanded, and the zulus are asking for peace. heh, heh, heh, not unless you want to pay me richly. What is that beeping?

I lift my head from where it crashed against the keyboard. I don't have stealth, the mongols haven't invaded yet, but I can still teach them a lesson in manners. I'm a bit tired, but my little nap has recharged me for at least a handful of turns.

Its kind of similar to Civ1, but more developed idea-wise... it has a fantasy theme... but the ideas are real good.
