If I were going to do anything "normal" with coworkers, it would be fleecing them at poker. I consider this and decided it might not be such a good idea, though.

And you get my new Aspie userpic, yay! *)

Hmmm, I kind of miss the option of going down to the pub with other socially-crippled smelly nerds...

[reddragdiva]

There was a spate of quizzes like this in newspapers a while back. A particularly annoying one in Metro might as well have been phrased like this.

I'm not Aspergic - though I have lots of friends who are - I'm just a goddamn freak. That's different.

Ok, this is just scary. I hadn't heard of Asperger's Symdrome before and I had to look it up (thanks, Wikipedia). I'm recognising a lot of myself in there. Or a lot of my old self, I should say. Weird, I've printed out the german article for my mom to read... thanks for that.

It's missing the option for what we did last night - we went down to the local hotel with the various cow-orkers, and had a quiz and got fed and pinted.

(And ou team won a bottle of nice fizz each.)

But Sales and Marketing people are never really normal - they just sell themselves as being that. Of course, Metro being a marketing exercise, well ...

The only reason I wouldn't go to the nudie bar after work is that I don't make enough money.

[rosefox]

*squint* I want to say that's Dragon Warrior, but I can't tell which version.

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

It's from the DW1&2 remake for the super nintendo. Hork!

[rosefox]

They remade it for SNES?! Holy crap! *dashes off to find ROM*

You're welcome to my Hork or Bullwong, as long as you credit me. *)

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

Yerp, well it's Dragon Quest actually. Like that's any difference. I'm playing DW7 right now, but the main hero just looks hella gay. :-( This is my other DW icon, an old guy from DQ6.

[rosefox]

I've got ROMs of the original NES DW1 and DW2, and let me tell you, I love playing ancient NES games on my spiffy new PowerBook. *grin* I just beat DW2 and so should get around to downloading further installments. I also have DW ringtones, including the inn music from DW1 as my "new text message" sound. I'm ever so slightly obsessed.

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

I remember buying 2 as soon as it came out for the NES. *sigh* I never did find DW3 until I thought to myself hmmm, I wonder, now that I'm living in the future of 2004, have emulators progressed past the "total shit" phase and into usability? Well bless my soul they had! To top it off, the package I d/l'ed had, and I swear I am not exaggerating, every single rom ever produced for the NES. I've even got crap I can't play because it's localized for Japan. Graphic demos for pete's sake. It's about 600 or so megs of roms. In terms of storyline, DW3 is my favorite. After that they don't have any connection to previous games.

[rosefox]

That's fabulous! Mac emus don't come with bonuses like that. *) I do have the paper walkthrough booklet and map that go with my original physical copy of DW1, though (picked 'em up as a promotion somewhere), including suggested levels for each task and a map that shows where different types of monsters are.

Could I persuade you to email me the ROMs for DW3+ and DQ? I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding them.

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

Urf, get on your im appz plz. I'm "Loosechanj" on aim and yahoo.

Stunning...

[also-huey.livejournal.com]

...how quickly the discussion of being on the internet with socially-crippled smelly nerds veered off into icons and nintendo roms.

Say, anyone for porn?

Re: Stunning...

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

Yes plz k thx

[angharad.livejournal.com]

Porn is for Nazis.
HTH

[damerell.livejournal.com]

On the other hand, I might just be going to a sleazy bar to get drunk with smelly nerds.

Nudie bars on the Internet?

[mouseworks.livejournal.com]

Don't any of those people have dogs that need to be walked so you can chat up the neighbors?

[ex-unagothae16.livejournal.com]

You do realize that those were my only two choices in West Bumblefuq don't you? Except that there are no strip clubs, only the country-western bars and the gangsta rap playing bars (the only difference being the music they play and the number of people dancing.)

On Sundays we got the magic third option of going to church. It's very strange walking down the street on a Sunday morning and feeling like you are in a ghost town because everyone is in church. Then, church lets out and it's like being in a city for a couple of hours because EVERYBODY goes out to eat after church.

I like being in the city. I have options now. Duckie is on his way to indulge me in some of those options now :)

We do BOTH types of music here...

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

In a very small town with just one bar... maybe they could pick that banjo an' singalong those good 'ole Gangsta rap lyrics to Country and Western.

[grega.livejournal.com]

You forgot option c: cook and eat dinner before falling asleep in the armchair in front of the telly.

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

Wht's your point here, Diva? We are all perfectly normal.

I have a badge (somewhere) saying: It is very reassuring.

[vampwillow]

well I'm not normal (imho nobody in Sales & Marketing is "normal") and, I hope, I'm not a "socially-crippled smelly nerd".

I'll admit to being somewhat of a "socially-inept sartorially-challenged geek who uses the internet an awful lot" however and on past online tests I do seem to test out as an aspie ...

[ozjester.livejournal.com]

Sitting in front of my PC on the Internet, whilst naked and boozing hasn't been a bad compromise either.

[illdrinn.livejournal.com]

Given this poll is on *LJ* it's somewhat biased.

And I'd like to note: Go down to a strip club with other pervy weirdoes get drunk and snog women... yes! Marketing fucktards... hell no!

[muddledslate.livejournal.com]

Family Guy quote:

"Yeah, sure, Lois, when I yell I can make you look like the bad guy too."

[sclerotic-rings.livejournal.com]

How about "Go home and work on the garden because the sales and marketing people at work are socially crippled and smelly nerds who spend their nights on the Internet"?

[siani-hedgehog.livejournal.com]

that's the one i go for.

[kest]

If one is unemployed, there *is* no 'after work'. Haha!

[angharad.livejournal.com]

So then would you prefer to spend all day on teh internets, or at a strip bar?

I meow lots

[house-of-kitty.livejournal.com]

no I don't work I sleep all day and eat food and meow
