You Might be an Aspie if...

Post Reply New Topic

You win an imaginary Porsche, and the real knowledge that I feel a teeny bit less dumb now. (Though I honestly think that visualizing having a conversation with another, calm, rational person, probably has more theraputic value than being stuck in my own personal feedback loop.)

I might still win though if I say I've gone through 3 major and 4 minor imaginary friends in my life. EDIT: And this isn't counting characters in my stories. Once you get in the habit of consulting them for story ideas, they can get chatty. ((Don't worry- I KNOW they aren't real! I'm being joke-y!! !))

((Oh god don't let anyone I know IRL read this))

You read each post and find the "eureka" one or more and think, OMG!! ! That's me.....

i've never had an imaginary friend!

when i was eight i tried to have an imaginary friend (a lion, in fact) but i kept forgetting to imagine him.

......you might be an aspie if even your imaginary friends don't want to play with you.

Watch the Chronicles of Narnia and contact your lion friend again. Aslan will give you good segway. "Hey, I just saw a movie about a lion and thought of you.... wanna hang out?"

Exactly. I can't stand it when people buy cool stuff just because they think it's a status symbol. I've lost count of how many times I've had to endure some jackass playing Star Wars or Terminator 2 on their new stereo so I could hear the astounding miracle of.....speakers positioned behind me. They don't understand that the idea is to make sound effects more realistic. When someone is speaking on-camera yet most of the sound is coming from behind you, it defeats the purpose.

One time I had to set up a network for a guy and show him how to browse websites, on his absolute top of the line 64-bit Athlon, which had just been released that month. It was sickening.



Ford, actually. I've had two of their engines with that setup-- 4.6 DOHC V8, and 2.5 Duratec V6. They have two intake valves per cylinder, but only one is normally used. At high RPM it opens a secondary set of intake runners. Those route air through the second intake valve, which is controlled by a more aggressive cam. VTEC uses a normal intake manifold, but switches to a more aggressive cam profile. Similar results (though I think the variable intake is more effective), just a different way of doing it.



Hahaha.. I get that all the time. A friend dragged me out to a strip club last night. The whole way there he coached me on making small talk, acting confident, getting peoples' interest, etc.

I started talking to one of the strippers there.. She told me her name was Christine. I thought this was cool considering they generally use some dorky stage name in an effort to sound sexy or exotic or something. I said "That's cool, most girls go by some stupid name like Jasmine or Carmel. I like your name; it's nice and plausible."

Then there was an awkward moment when I found out she didn't know what "plausible" means. My friend interjected and said "He always talks like that; I have to carry a dictionary with me when I'm around him."



I used to have all of the FCKGW-RHQQ2 key memorized, back in the good old days before SP2 and Genuine Advantage.

The 3.1/early Win95 era was even better--most Microsoft products would accept all 1's as a valid key.




I very much identify with all those.

LOL!! I actually recall the FCKGW one. I didn't remember the rest of it so I did a search...there's actually a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCKGW"]wikipedia article on it[/url].

I had an imaginary friend. But it was hard because their not real and dont talk back so I couldnt do anything.

You might be an aspie if were a little kid and didnt know how other kids could have imaginary friends and think they were real.

You're checking your oil on your 1988 Chevy Monte Carlo SS and someone comes up and says "Nice car, does it have a big block 350?" and you proceed to explain how the 350 Chevy was only made in small block version and the only size which had both big and small block versions was the 400, except the big block 400 was actually a 402 which was a 396 that was mistakenly bored .050" too big from the factory and as he's backing away slowly you continue that you can tell a big block because the valve covers are approximately twice the width of the valve cover breather...


You're getting gas and a guy comes up in a 1990 Mercury Cougar XR7. You ask him if it has a manual transmission because if it does its one of only about 700 and if it were red it would be 1 of only about 75 at which point he decides the more expensive gas across the street is worth every penny.

(can you tell cars are my obsession?)

Hahaha.. I drove 250 miles to look at an '89 5-speed XR7 that was for sale. It wasn't in the best of shape, plus the head gaskets were leaking (*^$&%* 3.8!!), and I couldn't afford that repair immediately after buying the car.

I ended up buying an '88 T-Bird Turbo Coupe instead. Not as rare, but I could drive it on long trips without worrying about the head gaskets blowing 300 miles away from home.

... the earliest memory you have is of you thinking to yourself "why does anything exist at all? why isn't there just nothing? surely there should just be nothing..."

it still bothers me... existence just isn't logical...

You might be an aspie if you have heard a billion times that you have to be on drugs to understand Pink Floyd: The Wall, but you watched the movie and understood it very well while dead sober.

me too

you might be an aspie if.... your coworkers wont let you bring the almanic to work anymore....


I thought those stats were cool
