3AM. Insomnia. Told that I have aspergers. Sit at the computer. Read up on it. Find a link to this site. Nothing else better to do so I go and join.

I most likely won't be posting much, mostly because I moderate for another board having to do with the 1 thing that defines my life. Radio. Also have 2 other boards that I have to keep up with.

17. Live in Wisconsin. I unwillingly entertain people at my school with my useless radio knowledge.

Major fan of South Park. I take it to the ultimate level by pasting it together with my "fake" (In the head) radio stations.

Freinds: bout 12. All imaginary except 2 stuffed toys. (I feel very embarresed for saying what I just said here)

My websites are:

http://www.geocities.com/norbie13
http://www.geocities.com/ahlitr (real websites for fake radio stations)

Just saying hi and describing who I am. 3:46AM. Think I should attempt to fall asleep. Being up this late interferes with my school life. It sucks.

I wonder if knowledge about radio is more relevant than knowledge on railroad lines that haven't existed in 90 years?


In any case, welcome!

And also, insomnia on a Saturday night is completely acceptable.

Welcome, 10691047.

I'm a big South Park fan myself. Not many shows with the guts to poke fun at everybody!

And I used to play bridge against my stuffed animals.

Hope to see you around.

Welcome to wrong planet :) I think you'll find there are plenty of us who stop up far too late so you're not alone on that one by any stretch of the imagination.

BTW, South Park is great.

I live in Colorado Springs, which is the closest major town to South Park. Some of the buildings in the town are modeled after Colorado Springs. The mayor is based on a political figure we had when the show was first aired (and yes, she was/is that stupid).

One thing I love about the show is the 1% jokes and references that only somebody familiar with Colorado would get. For example, Casa Bonita is a true to life restaurant, and laid out exactly like the episode suggests, with cliff diving, black barts cave, etc etc. The food is rather blah, and certainly loses its appeal for those over 10!

The Scott Tenorman episode where Cartman takes a bus to Fort Collins is another well done piece. When he gets off the bus, he steps out onto an immediately recognizable block of Fort Collins. Few shows, especially animated shows, show this attention to detail.

Agreed - I'm a bit of a South Park fan, although I generally prefer it in small doses.

Hi 10691047 - 12 friends, imaginary, stuffed or otherwise, is 12 more than I've got, so don't sweat on it :) And unfortunately, I find insomnia comes with the territory. :?

Thats a coincidence... Kenosha pass is just East of South Park. In the "return of the lord of the rings to the two towers" episode, this is the pass that is too snowy for them to cross.

:)

yep. And to make things even wierder, my city (Kenosha, WI) used to have a similar name: Southport (Having to do with the fact that we are the farthest south port on Lake Michigan in Wisconsin) Lots of businesses and a school use "Southport" as their name.

Kenosha means "Place of the pike" and this town had 3 names: Pike Creek, Southport and Kenosha in its historical lifetime.
