initially, it seemed to be the written equivalent of someone talking in a "hey, dumbass, I'm gonna speak real slow and real loud so you understand"-type tone!!

uh... oops...

My fault. I should've included a "(couldn't resist)" disclaimer since it wasn't going to appear directly beneath your post. I'm always making jokes several steps removed from the referent. It's something I need to work on. *tear*

and, Jess, my bringing up the "eat my fuc" thing wasn't intended in a "confrontational" manner or anything... it's just that your phrase has stuck with me... indeed *sniff* become a part of my very soul since yesterday... I don't think I've heard that phrase since I first read my old book of collected Lester Bangs pieces...

― absolute skittles, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:19 (twenty-three years ago)

okay. point well taken from the in-house genuis(es). Do carry on.

Actually, based on the below, either Ally and Spencer are not real geniuses since they are superbly talented at flirty-small talk, or maybe they are superubergeniueses since they aren't semi-ocio-paths when it comes to chit-chat. I've seen Spencer in akchun; I can only dream about Ally.

Scientists Wonder if Einstein, Newton Were Autistic

Apr 30 2003 2:26PM
LONDON (Reuters) - Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton were geniuses but British scientists believe they may have suffered from Asperger syndrome -- a form of autism.

The condition, first described by Viennese physician Hans Asperger in 1944, is a disorder that causes deficiencies in social and communication skills and obsessive interests.

But it does not affect learning or intellect and many people with AS have exceptional talents or skills.

Although it is impossible to make a definitive diagnosis in people who are dead, Simon Baron-Cohen of Cambridge University and Ioan James of Oxford University studied the personalities of Einstein and Newton to see if the two scientists had symptoms of AS.

"Newton seems a classic case. He hardly spoke, was so engrossed in his work that he often forgot to eat, and was lukewarm or bad-tempered with the few friends he had," New Scientist magazine said on Wednesday.

Baron-Cohen said Einstein was also a loner and as a child he repeated sentences obsessively. Although Einstein made friends and spoke out on political issues, Baron-Cohen suspects he showed signs of Asperger syndrome.

"Passion, falling in love and standing up for justice are all perfectly compatible with Asperger syndrome," he told the weekly science magazine.

"What most people with AS find difficult is casual chatting -- they can't do small talk," he added.

But Glen Elliott, a psychiatrist at the University of California at San Francisco, said geniuses can be socially inept and impatient with other people without being autistic.

"Impatience with the intellectual slowness of others, narcissism and passion for one's mission in life might combine to make such an individual isolative and difficult," he told the magazine.

Baron-Cohen said he hopes the research can improve understanding of Asperger syndrome and make life easier for people who suffer from the condition.

yeah, but Vic... the matter's been resolved now, mate...

― absolute skittles, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:23 (twenty-three years ago)

im happy about that. i just saw the word geniuses and felt compelled to post that since i didn't want to start a new thread. besides, this one is about hooters, so it's not intelligent enough to discern that it's being hijacked

― vic, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:29 (twenty-three years ago)

hold on there a sec skittles. Vic, please do go on with your 'Spencer is a superubergenius' theory, I'm intrigued.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, wow! Someone actually took issue with something I said! That's awesome. The last time that happened some ugly lesbians got mad over the Le Tigre thing.

Anyway--Hooter's is ass for reasons unrelated to any YCI-ish tendencies I may or may not have. The hose is U+K here as is, like I wrote above, the crappy food and ugly waitresses. Replace the food with something edible and the make sure the eye candy isn't Circus Peanuts and we'll talk.

― adam (adam), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:32 (twenty-three years ago)

haha well skittles called you a genius, and if these scientists are right (even though i think they're WRONG) that geniuses are potentially riddled with social problems or may be prone toweards autism, then you are either not a genius, or a superubergenius since you hide your autism so well, and party it up at places like el coyote (even though you didn't find me there!!!)

― Vic, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I went to Hooters exactly once when I was visiting Vancouver of all places and my server was exceptionally attractive and not horse-faced at all. But yeah, the food was ass.

(and yes Vic, I see the truth of it)

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:34 (twenty-three years ago)

When I worked there, the food wasn't that bad, all the girls I worked with were fairly pretty, and the tips were pretty good. I don't think I could do it now, though.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:41 (twenty-three years ago)

pretty girls in LA? getthefuckouttahere.

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:42 (twenty-three years ago)

the real ones are all imported from san diego. real body parts, i mean.

― Vic, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Wasn't in LA, smartass.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:44 (twenty-three years ago)

ARE there any hooters 'round here, or are they all in orange county? we should all FAP there. ideally it would be one in inglewood

― vic, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I was afraid of that. Where?

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:47 (twenty-three years ago)

There's one in Santa Monica.

And in South Carolina, buttch.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I can only dream about Ally.

We all do, Vic. (In case this creeps her out, I have surprisingly not had any sex dreams about ILXers. I'm working on it, obviously.)Actually I dreamed of someone else last night, sexually. No one you know, and for once it was someone I actually do find very sexy - I sometimes have sex dreams about those I don't.

As for the article, the line "Although it is impossible to make a definitive diagnosis in people who are dead" is a masterpiece. It is among the more idiotic articles I've ever read.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:49 (twenty-three years ago)

are they all in orange county?

WELL. (You are however right they're all around here. The idea of FAPing there is so utterly wrong I will smite you if you suggest it again.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:49 (twenty-three years ago)

It is among the more idiotic articles I've ever read.

yeah it's just so absurd, that it didn't warrant its own thread; only the hooters thread would do.

You are however right they're all around here. The idea of FAPing there is so utterly wrong I will smite you if you suggest it again.

stop yo frontin' foo! we all kno u and da other laschivious librarians hold theme parties there with da hooters t-shirts, ballcaps, apparel AND ALL

you're Jewish?

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:19 (twenty-three years ago)

hey. i've been safarian since before you were born

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Vic, you are sadly misguided.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally I don't know what this means, but my (male) roomate is a cook at Hooters...
-- jm (jimmythemo...), April 30th, 2003.

Am I the only one who read it as 'cock'?

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Probably not, but the others were mature/sivilized enough to ignore their Id.

― jm (jtm), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I think the collective Id of ILx has gone haywire since that Momusianudistined pic provoked a sexual catharsis in us all.

― Vic (Vic), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:31 (twenty-three years ago)

one month passes...

These are my sisters like two days ago. The one who works at Hooters is the one in black. So if you see her there, tell her you know me and, hey, free chicken wings.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 19 June 2003 03:29 (twenty-three years ago)

free chicken wings!

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 19 June 2003 03:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally has your family been made into a Japanese cartoon yet?

― Millar (Millar), Thursday, 19 June 2003 03:34 (twenty-three years ago)

What does that even mean? Anyway, I'm sure K. has made us into anime-style drawings on more than one occasion, being as it's an obsession of hers.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 19 June 2003 03:36 (twenty-three years ago)

About the Hooters wait staff uniforms: It could be worse. Stewart's root beer stand wait staff have to wear tight T-shirts with two root beer mugs silk screened onto them-one over each breast. Eeuu.

― Christine 'Green Leafy Dragon' Indigo (cindigo), Thursday, 19 June 2003 04:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Oddly enough Chistine, that is the same outfit they're making the software engineers wear at my company.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 19 June 2003 04:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Please, Ally, someday, introduce me to your sisters. Thanks, in advance.

― hstencil, Thursday, 19 June 2003 05:14 (twenty-three years ago)

you cad!

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 19 June 2003 05:18 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, I know, shocker!

― hstencil, Thursday, 19 June 2003 05:21 (twenty-three years ago)

But stence, they are not real people. They are Japanese cartoon robot women.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 19 June 2003 12:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Is she the one who likes asians?

― jm (jtm), Thursday, 19 June 2003 13:12 (twenty-three years ago)

The one in the red shirt dates Asians. I'm not setting any of you up with my little sisters!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 19 June 2003 13:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Why not?

― jm (jtm), Thursday, 19 June 2003 13:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Is that a rhetorical question?

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 19 June 2003 13:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought it was a good response...

― jm (jtm), Thursday, 19 June 2003 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Sanp!

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 19 June 2003 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Or, uh, snap.

Never mind, I ruined the whole conversation with one typo. My replicant Japanese robot anime programming is obviously faulty :( :(

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 19 June 2003 14:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, really. Why not?

― jm (jtm), Thursday, 19 June 2003 14:02 (twenty-three years ago)

You're all in America, right? Bugger.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 19 June 2003 14:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Does grown-up Hermione-from-Harry-Potter work at Hooter's? I have GOT to see that.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 19 June 2003 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Woman, answer the question.

I have to go shower.
