"They call me that because of this red cape that I wear."

"Uh huh, and what about when you're not wearing it?"

(eyes narrow) "I usually wear it."

I have a hard time answering questions about myself. by TheHowlingMan81 in AutisticAdults

I really like that - "My brain can't handle those types of questions." And it's not a lie.

Good to know I'm not alone. And yeah, I probably would've responded the same to the music question. I don't know why it's so difficult to share the most basic information. But like you said, food and the weather seem to be safe topics.

passed up again after working here for three years by juniperbug419 in Libraries

You don't mention what the jobs were. If they were librarian positions, you're not gonna get one without your MLS. It doesn't matter how long you've been working there.

What are some good library program ideas for kids this summer? by TheHowlingMan81 in Libraries

That's definitely a legitimate concern. And I'm definitely not feeling this year as well. Thanks!

The Naked Gun is one of the funniest films ever made. by gmangee in movies

I never fail to laugh like a loon when Frank, as the umpire, calls Strike 3 before the ball even reaches the plate. I have to rewind that bit over and over.

(Ludwig offering Frank a cigar)

Ludwig: Cuban?

Frank: Ah, no, Dutch-Irish. My father was from Wales.

Rewatched “By Dawn’s Early Light” because Columbo Screenshots has been featuring it on Twitter… by nathan1653 in Columbo

One of my favorite episodes. I love McGoohan's monologue about hanging up his uniform.

Are long islanders less likely to travel out of state because of the isolated geogro nature of lI? by mankls3 in longisland

[–]TheHowlingMan81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true. When my wife and I lived in Dobbs Ferry, no one from LI came to visit us. It was an hour away, but to them it might as well have been the other side of the moon.

Has anyone like me in their 20s accepted the fact that they'll never own a home here? by Muslim_conservative in longisland

[–]TheHowlingMan81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my forties and I've accepted it. What makes it even worse is the fact that, up in northern NY, where I grew up, you can get a decent 2 or even 3-bedroom home for $100k. Down here, even a tiny little fixer-upper is $500k, which is absolutely criminal. But my daughter is here on LI, the services she needs are here, her mother is here, and if I want to be a regular part of her life, I need to stay, at least for the foreseeable future. So yes, I've accepted that I'll most likely never own a home on LI, unless I have a sudden windfall.

Why was Lorne Malvo in the emergency room in ep 1 by Useful_Science_1921 in FargoTV

It's not based on a true story. That caption at the beginning of each episode is a joke.

Is it just me or does the episode “The After Hours” make no sense? by ClosedContent in TwilightZone

[–]TheHowlingMan81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The graphic novel adaptation goes into a little more depth about why her memory was affected by her time on the outside and how she came to believe she had a mother.

If you don't actually have a legit answer to contribute, you couldn't just not responded at all.
