That looks more like a grammatically correct demon whose horns appear to be held on with screws. I thought it was a hybrid of darktater 's and chasingembers avatars. Mine is just a pipe. |

I like it here too. I was a member of Smokers Forums for a long time until they closed down, and this place has a similar ambience to me.
The rambling conversations and random goathead excursions are all to the good.

I was a Smokers Forum member also; the good folk here seem to be cut from a similar cloth, good, likeminded people, with pipe in hand and no egos to feed.

What, pray tell, is an “Aspie”?

My son is on the spectrum. He can't work, or leave the house most days, but he's always nice. 😁🤠😂🤠 |

Interesting. It's a notoriously difficult diagnosis, so I'm not sure how much creedence I'd give those tests. It isn't called Aspie, as far as I know, but people who have it sometimes refer to ourselves as Aspies. |

I'm not putting much weight on those online tests, but I suppose they could at least be a guide to push people to take proper tests. I'm pretty sure I'm on the spectrum. |

You sickies aroused my curiosity so I took one of those on-line Asperger’s tests. I scored a 17 on their scale, which is apparently the exact average of a normal, non-depraved homo sapiens male. Have to say, though, that quickee on-line “tests” don’t mean a lot to me. Now I have to head back to DuckDuckGo and see if I can find a test for ax murderers.

I just took an online test, and when the result came up, it indicated with nearly 100% certainty that I had taken an online test. Pretty impressive, I've gotta say.

The last 3/4 axe I purchased at a hardware store, the guy behind me in line asked if I was an axe-murder? I guess it shows. |

Took a 100+ question test for Autism and Asperger. Scored "less than 20 per cent probability".
Some of the questions threw me. For example: "Are you startled by fish?"

Fish startling & confusion is quite common among ax murderers. So I am told.
