It seemed like a good thing to say at the time

To kind of lighten things up here... I present a list of some of the things I said that have been the source of embarrasment for me in life.

"I'll make myself explode!! To students who were dragging me inside after a meltdown at recess - September 1987

"You see, prarie dogs have this complex underground network...(long spiel followed) In class to which I got strange looks when I was done - March, 1989

"I watched the sesame street X-mas special last night!" Out loud in class - December 1990

"You would see golf advertisments on shows like Murphy Brown and Desgining Women! Sports discussion in class - January 1991

"Wow! Thunder!" Out loud in class - March 1992

"I saw a movie last night on HBO, two people were making love on top of a copier machine..." To my teacher - April 1991

"Look! A tornado!" Myself responding to a dust whirl on the play ground - May 1991

"Did you know that hail can get as large as basketballs?" - To another student I was trying make friends with. - October 1992

"I once heard about something regarding e.coli and eggs.... (long spiel followed) Foods class - September 1993

"Have you ever been constipated? Failed pick-up line I used on a girl - October 1993

Wow! I didn't know jimmy hendrix was black! Music appreciation - April 1996

LOL!! ! Those are gems, scoots! Life would be that much more dull without random comments like that by people like us, if you ask me. Reminds me of the time that my friend started this serious discussion of the founding fathers, and I went into this little spiel about how George Washington likely had Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY chromosome) and therefore was the father *and* mother of our country. She was not amused. There was also this time when my friend and I were talking about a guy we knew, and I said something to the effect of "he sure has one fine rump roast cooking in his crockpot." It was the first thing that popped into my head. To this day I am not entirely sure what it means.

The titile of this topic is great - I've always said that I'm going to have the line from 'Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy' put on my tombstone:
"It all made some sort of sence at the time.'

Followed by 'Well, he started it!! !!'

That is interesting about Washingtion - I didn't know he had Klinefelters . . .

your chat-up line failed, scoots? i can't for the life of me see why. (rofl)

brilliant comments. i would post some of mine, but i'd probably be banned....

LOL, scoots, I can relate. I remember last year I was trying to help with Marketing class. The teacher mentioned Mexico; so I procedded to describe every detail of my father's trip to Mexico. It took her forever to explain this was not a good comment, since all she said was the word in a list of countries that trade with America.

I don't see a problem with soem of those questions..I have said many, many things liek that...

Are these questions why people think we're weird?

Many times, we think back and say, "Why did I even say that?" after we say things that come to mind for no reason. One good example is when I yelled, "Mom!," and I was nowhere near her. I did that once 6 years ago, and once last year. Also, I remember about two years ago when I was confronted about doing something wrong, and I told the person who spoke to me, "I'm not capable of doing it." At the time, I thought about it. This has made one question come to my mind.

Could this be one of the reasons that people notice our disorders?

That brings me back, Scoots.

A little over a year ago I had made a renewed yet unscuessfull attempt at trying to get a girlfriend. On the first of what may have been called a date, I ended up going into this big uncessisarily long explanation comparing static webpages to dynamically generated webpages from server-side scripting languages. She had just asked me how long it took me to make one site I made (a site similar to wrongplanet.net for my high school that has since been shut down). God I'm such a dork.

There have been a bunch of other times like that. However, one time she wanted me to explain binary to her when we were at the park one time.

I kinda think of her as a geek in denial. The geek pulled us together. The denial pulled us apart. She kept leading me on and rejecting me, and it was utterly depressing and horrible, but it all worked out in the end. In those times between those rejections I was brought closer to someone outside my family than I had probably ever been.

Today I got a letter from her in the mail. She wrote that she missed me and stuff, which was awfully sweet, and included a haloween Pez dispenser. Before she had all these friends who didn't like me and were all better and stuff, but now she's alone in Maryland, and I somehow find comfort in that. And 'twas a year ago this picture was taken.

ANYWAY, getting back on topic, a former NT friend of mine has a great collection of out of context quotes from his friends that your post reminded me of: Click here to view it. Quite a few of those came from my mouth, actually, lol.

a friend and I started to put together a collection of phrases our group of friends had said at some point that were really daft:

'Wouldn't it be fun to have a gravestone?'

'Im not sure if that was a shooting star or a falling torch'

'Well wrap me up in turkey and call me a foil!' - this originated from another strange phrase 'well wrap me up in foil and call me a turkey' which at least makes sense!

'I've got all the maternal instincts of a cabbage!' Me- to a teacher

My family had company over at the old house and we were all looking out the window at a strange looking dog. The dog had a very human looking face. We were all talking about the dog and my mom mentioned its face. I said, "Maybe a lady had a dog for a baby!" I was Eleven at the time.

LOL that's a great one, CockneyRebel.

Here are some from me:

"Apparently I'm a Christina-biscuit"

"Yeah... hay... you know... like, hay squares, or really, cubes... cubes of hay, hay cubes. Or would it be more of a hay rectangular prism?"

"I can point out the obvious"

And from friends:

"I've tasted my own medicine and it is bitter" - My brother Travis's friend

"It's what I've been looking for all my life... ever since you lost it!" -Christina

"I'm giving birth to Satan's cow!" - Liz (having lactose intolerance)
