if you werent trying to make it sound all cute and childish you would have gone with aspers or asps. "elok and odin have the asps" sounds better than "elok and odin have aspies". thats one S short of ass-pies

Considering that the full word sounds like 'ass burgers' when said aloud...

We tend to have encyclopedic knowledge of certain subjects, which vary depending on the individual. We have a powerful visual imagination, which often entails an excellent memory as well (long story).

You'll make excellent cab drivers, then.

Learn some sense of proportion, you posturing clown. When someone says something disparaging about politics, it's deeply uncool to repeatedly accuse them of promoting paedophilia.

Take it cool... his accusation was so monstruously enormous that it was a obviously a troll to a troll. You seem to be the only one not having gotten it from the chill side.

[Kidlicious]

No. I believed they promoted paedophilia also. I thought it was obvious. Otherwise it's just too ****ing stupid.

Sorry Ozzy, but it's true.

The trouble with "objectivists" is that they took Rand way too seriously and imagined that she offered up some sort of blueprint for the ordering of society. She was writing about the dangers of communism through the use of exaggerated examples, among other things (steamy sex with ubermen).

Er, MRT, I don't "have" aspies, I am an aspie. It's also typically pronounced "ASP-ee," not "ASS-pie" or anything like that. Calling ourselves "asps," as in the poisonous snake, would not be very good PR. And "asper" sounds like it means "one who asps" or something.

Sandman: We'd make very poor cab drivers, actually. We don't like to cheat people out of their money, and we're not typically comfortable violating traffic laws or acting belligerent. The job is best reserved for you normal people.

What? Pass on a solid gold excuse for a rumble? Nevah!

[General Ludd]

The neurotypical make excellent slaves. Aspocracy.

Ho, ho. My point was that your 'special powers' are not special at all. Most people can develop encyclopedic knowledge of something.

Not as quickly or thoroughly as we can and do. We do it for fun, even. As children. If you knew some of us, you'd understand the distinction.

From Elok's description, I'm an aspie.
And my main claim for aspieness is that I'm a moderate geek (who used to be a full-fledged geek), and that I feel that the rules serve me, rather than oppress me.

Either aspieness is something different from what Elok describes, or this "syndrome" is just a pompous word to describe a trait of character.

[General Ludd]

That's what syndromes, disorders, complexes, and such generally are - descriptions of character.

Learning for fun? Learning as children? Witchcraft! Sorcery!
