    I would, but I'm afraid I'm not an autistic savant and so just don't have that kind of obsessive attention to detail.
    Obsessive attention to detail like this:

    Your qualifier is based on subject matter, of which I stick to interesting topics (without delving into pop culture too much). Obsessive attention to detail was also forced. Though I pick at technical details and literal nuances, it's usually to annoy someone rather than a driven interest. The context of these things matter.

    I could certainly make a much more successful argument, but then I'd be doing all the work for you. I can't imagine a reason I'd ever be inspired to do that.

    There is one other problem, Tom Cruise is alive in all those scenes. There's no way I'd permit that.
    You either saved my comment for future reference or you went all the way back through the threads to find it. You couldn't just paraphrase. But then paraphrasing would require a level of social/conversational dexterity you don't possess. Rainman.

    I also think it's cute that Mary thinks that the untalented glebe on An Idiot Abroad is an autistic savant.
    Only an autistic savant would think such a thing. Trufax.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    I think he put that meme up simply because he knows we're English and was trying to find an English reference we might be able to relate to

    Mary is macky and your previous comment was both insightful and witty - manker, however, isn't English.

    I went back, I'm careful like that. Also, it was incredibly easy since that thread was already open in another tab, and my settings max out # posts per page. Cabalo hates that I do that.

    About the other thing you suggested, it would be totally pointless to make my own index of posts made by myself or other people since that's a function inherent in a forum's design! I almost want to bold all of that and go all caps. Another neat trick, just do an advanced search typing at least one word you remember, and specify username, the results come back in a very relevant fashion. That's how, earlier today, I found my posts messing with some person wanting to trade for CartonChaos.

    The reason I brought Karl into this is because I once uttered the near redundancy of "autistic savant", literally, while describing Mr. Pilkington. My first perception when watching the Ricky Gervais show was that he was just an absolute moron. Then I started thinking he's probably developmentally disabled. In continuation of the new assumption, I started finding his perspective uniquely fascinating. He has a sort of purely logical perspective unencumbered by critical thought, like a child, but with the life experience of an adult.

    That's all find and dander, but who the hell are you?

    Nah, he's just a northerner (we say what we like and we like what we bloody well say).
    If your diagnosis is correct then Lancashire and Yorkshire possess the same autistic savant to non-autistic savant ratio as the area twixt your monitor and the chair-back.

    You do have me at a disadvantage, however. I downloaded series one and got halfway thro' the first ep before I decided that it was a shite travel show not worthy of my attention.

    Is there anything else you'd like to say before they take you back to your room? I might not be able to come and visit you for a little while. Wanna touch heads maybe? Have a 'moment'?

    He's not clever enough, that's why it's 'autistic savant'. He's just autistic. Anyway, since when did the lunatics start diagnosing the asylum? Get back in your cell.
