This post over at Ruvym's site made me want to develop my own index of Derek-dom. Count your points (out of 20) and post a quick comment to let me know how you scored on the DJW Index.

1. If you've ever skipped work to have sex, you're a Wald Man.

2. If you've ever hiked over a mountain just because it was there, you're a Wald Man.

3. If you think cereal is an acceptable meal for any time of the day, you're a Wald Man.

4. If you've ever worn Teva or "sport sandals," you're a Wald Man.

5. If you call your waitress by her first name, you're a Wald Man.

6. If you argue about issues you care nothing about for the sole sake of arguing, you're a Wald Man.

7. If you make it a point to know what cardinal direction you're facing, you're a Wald Man.

9/20 - I guess I'm not even half a Wald Man (which sounds like of like bald man)

12/20. The one I share that I couldn't help but chuckle at was #5. The one I didn't have but wish I did was #1.

OK, now I'm interested to know which ones people had (uh, particularly Alex since I actually know him). Me, I'm no Wald Woman. The only ones I had were: 3, 6, 9, 14 (OK, it's a stereo system, not a TV, but I figured it counts since I don't own a TV and it's the same concept), 15, 20. I used to have #11, but 2 speeding tickets cured me of that.

The ones that applied to me: 3,4,5,6,7,10,12,13,14,15,18,20 (although I simply assumed #10 applied to me even though I had no idea what you were talking about).

Okay, here's the ones that I feel apply to me:

3
4 (not Teva sandals, but something resembling them)
5 (sometimes=.5)
6
7 (sometimes=.5)
9
10 (I think Derek's actually said that about me once)
11 (Can we say malum prohibitum? Still, I don't speed as much as most who feel this way)
13 (...probably playing Starcraft with Derek)
15
18 (If we want to get technical, I can hum the tune to at least three John Williams "themes" in Star Wars alone. But I know you meant movie themes, and I think I can do at least seven.)
