What people here are from Ireland? I have assburgers from Ireland. What is your experience like?

I like to read the secret messages on Tayto crisps. Some on the packets and some on the crisps themselves. One predicted the 7/7 bombings. It said 'best before 7/7'. I interpreted this as 'intervention needed before 7/7'. Spooky stuff huh.

Lucky I live under the stairs and don't come out. I am writing a book about crisp interpretation and assburgers simply called 'crisp interpretation and assburgers' And a follow up 'Historical would-be crisp lovers'- a detailed 1700 page examination of historial figures who may have loved crisps if they had been invented yet. I eat about 12 kg of crisps a day..I created my own garlic and cherry flavour with Tayto and have an underground conveyer belt from the factory to my house sending me my daily supply. As a result of the all this crisp consumption I have composed a couple of fart symphonies. I am also currently recording Barber's 'Adagio for Farts' for the Grafton Street Flatulance Festival in October.

Well its a tut tut from me for now.

Asperger's disorder. My mom is Irish, descended from a Michael William Shanahan whose family is from Limerick, which I believe is in county Cork. He came to America before the Civil War and fought for the South. Genealogically I am half Irish, half French. Do you know of any Shanahans?

The rest of what you wrote is too interesting for words to describe properly. Hope your book has good sales, you certainly have an enjoyable writing style.

I have an imaginary friend called Walmart Shanahan; is that any good?

He's imaginary because I just imagined him.

Actually we're not that close; he's never so much as called.

Set me straight if I'm wrong but AS seems to stand out more prevalently in people of Celtic / Nordic descent that in any other ethnic background. My father is of Scottish / Irish descent and I think he too has the tic, although he's never been Dx'ed.

Sweden seems to have a very accurate count on its AS population to its proportion of NT's and I would think it to be about the same for the British Isles.

Difficult to say.
