5. You give thought to arriving to work in a giant Monolith or a Land Raider and "pawning" your collegues
6. You really want a sticker that says "My other car is a Battle Barge" in your rear window

you secretly hope and pray your country becomes/rejoins an Empire, solely for the purpose of bringing phrases such as "In the Emperor's Name!" into vogue.

I resemble that remark! Actually I sometimes reply to unprovoked attentions of strangers with "Blood for the blood god!" or "Only the insane have the strength to prosper, only those who prosper judge what is sane." They immediately turn and go the other way...
