^ That "Autism Stereotype Violation" ticket is hilarious.

But you also say 'you have lice'. Not 'you have the lice'.

If by MS you mean Microsoft then that is a very unlucky and bad thing to have!! !

I've never been told I have "the" Asperger's, they just say I have Asperger's. Saying "the" Asperger's sounds weird to me.

Nope, though I have said "I has the assburger's" myself, among other other equally ridiculous things in fits of weird self-deprecating humor.

Here's a couple of odd sounding "syndromes" that I think could give "the Asperger's" a run for its money:

Alien Hand syndrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Hand_Syndrome

Exploding Head syndrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome

Enjoy Windows with your crappy security. I hope you enjoy staring at loading bars for hours while the batch of security updates for today installs. I hope you enjoy wasting money and time on anti-virus and firewall. I hope you like the registry slowing your system down unless you clean it out with third party programs all the time.

I could go on...

I prefer TEH Aspergers, myself....but then again, I think everything sounds better with 'teh' in front of it.

I really need to stop spending so much time on ICanHasCheezburger....

Awesome. Alien Hand is just.....too much! What if the sufferer is ambidextrous?

Incidentally, about Exploding Head Syndrome, did you see Head Zap? It's from serotonin over-exposure/misregulation......heh heh.

I wonder if any of the above would work as a "I could not come to work/school today since I have THE <insert disorder here, such as Alien Hand Syndrome or Head Zap>"???

Start issuing those Autism Stereotype Violation Tickets too - more M&Ms are in order.
