You spent too much time at VEB when..
- You spend an hour creating a complex formula to determine a prospect job's Value Over Replacement Level...(true story)
- You did the same to your friends and girlfriend (another true story).
- Instead of rating a girl from 1-10 you found a way to do it by WARP3.
- You have a pet named Walt-Lite...it's name used to be Antonetti.
- Somebody called an employee "below replacement level" and you knew exactly what they meant.
- You refer to "breaking up" as "putting her out on waivers".
- You asked your girlfriend if she'd waive her no trade clause for a high upside prospect.
- ...you actually have a contract with a no trade clause with your girlfriend.
- You refer to the hottest girl at the bar as having "top of the rotation stuff".
- You roll your eyes when somebody uses a baseball cliche like "thew me a curve ball" because you have more advance puns that are park adjusted.
- Your girlfriend constantly asks "What is in Memphis and why are you always trying to send me there?"
- 2am at the bar rolls around and you refer to it as "shopping around the waiver wire for a duncan special" (I know bobbyballgame can relate to that one).
- A hot girl comes onto you and your knee jerk reply to her is "I'm not giving up Rasmus".

You then consequently come up with a "best comp" player which then becomes that female's permanent nickname.
If said girl happens to become your girlfriend (unlikely for anyone developing this system though apparently possible), you eventually inform her of her nickname and the VEBness has seeped from you via simple diffusion to her....so she thinks it's funny not creepy and consequently takes far too much interest in that actual player. I wonder if my ex still likes Alfonso Soriano...man that power/speed combo was fun before the defense took became intolerable.

#12 is pure brilliance
