Signs to know it's been an Avengers summer

Subtitle: Also, signs to know you're ready for the GI Joe sequel

*You can't wait to get a Cobra Commander costume for Halloween

*A teacher confiscates an Iron Man figurine from a kid and you ask to keep it

*You spent 30 minutes talking to your hairdresser about The Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor

*You get stupid excited when you find out that Heavy Duty and Destro are going to be in Thor 2

*You ask everyone you know if they've been to see it yet not so much because you care but because you want an excuse to go again

*Half of the drinking glasses you use have an Avenger on them

*You have a soda with Loki's picture on it chillin in the fridge at all times

*You almost get snakebit on your front porch because, while you've been watching Thor on DVD, a giant Satanic anaconda has sought respite on your porch from the 115 degree heat (true story)

*You're fairly sure that if Tom Hiddleston shows up at Comic Con you will faint

*During a Red Dawn preview, your friend leans over and says, "Why doesn't he just throw his hammer and be done with it?"

*Your iPad has started to recognize Thor as a valid auto-correct suggestion

*You wrapped your father's birthday gift in Avengers wrapping paper

*You put on a helmet and posed with a photo of Loki at your cousin's wedding
