Apparently, I must be interviewed (again), and take a series of tests (which I did not take the first time), and whatever else they normally do.
I will probably enter a one-way mirrored room, where they will observe whether if I pick up the physics book, watch a TV showing soap operas, or play with the basketball...
...then I will enter a hallway with rooms adjacent to each other. One will be filled with raucous people, each trying to talk over one another. The other will be devoid of people - a completely sound-proofed solitary confinement. I get to pick one to enter.
...next I will be given 3 hours of math problems to solve, followed by me listening to someone talk fashion for 3 hours. Which one will make my head explode?
...then they will take a DNA sample from me. I will have one hour to sequence my own genes, develop a clone, and prove my own existence using nothing but standard kitchen appliances.
...finally, the clincher: I will be forbidden to read about, engage in or speak about my perseverations for an entire week.

pocket protectors.
Holy Hand Grenades
You wanted heat, remember? Heat released in a slow, steady, controlled kind of way. These are not traits commonly associated with grenades, though the holy variety might be different.
Anyway. Muffins. And a pocket for hot chocolate. Pocket protectors are watertight, right?
ummm... yes..... you do have a very good point. That advice may have just freed you from the bonds of the chocolate you've been forgetting to send me anyway.

If asked a question, I do best if given the opportunity to consider my answer thoughtfully before speaking. Probably the Cherokee and Crow Indian in me. I'm lousy with off-the-cuff on-the-fly answers.

As a matter of fact you do come across as extremely intelligent when speaking.
He does a better Bob Ross impression then I do, too.

I dunno. Chuck's voice has never given me the urge to hibernate like Bob Ross's does.

You didn't get into a Bob Ross showdown laughter mode with him then... and right over here.....lives a little chipmunk and all his little friends.......... it's a happy little bush and I raised him since I found him abandoned..... and his daddy was a drunk and never cared...... he lived in my hair till he was big enough to find his own nuts..... and maybe, maybe, we'll add a little titanium white and....
Ok if you mean by hibernate being all peaceful like, that makes 4 people here I know that zone/d out to his shows. That guy was instant la-la land for me. (Don't you even try to go with that last statement, I have otter friends and they're mean. They don't live in Bob Ross land. Hell they don't even know what a PBS is and they don't care. They also know how to use rocks and they're not afraid to use them.)

I loved Collective Soul. I miss them. I'm terrible with names and I've been trying to remember the name of that band for the longest time but one note and their name came back to me. That's so odd.
This was dh and my favorite Collective Soul song and his favorite come on. LOL "Come on, baby, let's mingle some atoms." That always made me start to dance and sing it until I got to, let's gel. LOL Too funny. We're so odd. Both of us....

...now that you remember, hope you dance and sing the tune to dh again...
Oh you know I did! The dogs were running every which way and the cats cleared out. Dh just laughed, raised an eyebrow and said, "You wanna mingle some atoms?"
Oh and this is funny. It takes an Aspie to appreciate this. I got home last night and he had on The Life and Death of a Star. Of course I was very upset that I'd missed part of it so I plop down and get completely mesmerized by all the flashing pretty stars on the big screen. Then some astrophysicist comes on and I'm sitting there with my mouth open almost drooling as he is talking. Finally hubby goes, "Lost you to an Astrophysicist. I knew it would come to this." LOL I said, "He's hot but can he cook? That's the real question!" So last night I had a really good dinner. I guess despite my fickle nature with Physics he wants to keep me.

My alarm clock is wired to 21 superguns (a scrap metal dealer in my neighbourhood got them cheap in Iraq). Every morning I wake up to a 21 gun royal salute of chocolate frogs fired in the general direction of Alberta. Unfortunately, you neglected to supply me with more precise coordinates, so I can only hope, in the fullness of time, to saturate the whole province with chocolate raining down from the heavens. If you give me the exact coordinates, I'm sure I can drop a payload right in your back yard. But move your van along a little bit, just in case of cross winds. A close impact could easily take a window out.

Good luck today, Chuck! Let that Aspieness shine! 
And to keep with my usual need to prepare everyone for upcoming events, it should be noted that Lemon has a pending birthday!!

There are two doors. In one is a friendly looking person who tries to talk to you. In the other is a shiny spinning object.
You reach two more doors. In one a sitcom is playing. In the other is a program such as The Elegant Universe or The Life and Death of a Star.
You go to the next two doors. In one is a party of super models or 20 of the world's most handsome and charismatic bachelors. In the other is a lecture by an Astophysicist. (Extra points if you actually attempt to go home with the Astrophysicist or having feelings like you wish you could sit in his brain for a few days)
You reach the last two doors. In one sits a shrink wanting to ask how you "feel" about that. In the other is a radiologist wanting to take a fMRI. With the fMRI, a Neurologist will let you look at your brain lighting up and tell you what it means.
