Moby, Asperger's Aspirant

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

He also enjoys high-end organic tea, and faking misunderstood genius disease Asperger's:

My favorite tea is organic Silver Needle white tea. I'm a tea purist. I never understood adding sugar or milk to tea. And back when I drank alcohol, I drank straight vodka or tequila. I never liked anything added to them. It might be a function of Asperger's.

You have Asperger's? No. I just like to pretend I do. It makes me sound more interesting.

Nice guy.

I like

When I was growing up, I was the most pretentious person I have ever met. I only read obscure books and watched obscure movies and only listened to obscure music.

I make my smoothies from prairie dog milk, Iraqi wildflower stamen, Snake River loam, and a pinch of saffron. I sometimes feign narcolepsy at dinner parties 'for effect'. And I was given my DJ name--El Douche--by my great-uncle, once removed, who was a technical writer for Summer's Eve feminine products

And Me:
I always knew Moby was like this because I know things. I knew things before you knew them.

I was about to say I only know one of his songs, then I realised that was Seal, and that I dont actually know any Moby songs.

 

[Mirah]

Its ok. He doesn't know you either Whisky.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Some people actually do genuinely have Asperger's!

MOBY IS DUAL!

MOBY IS DUAL!

No.

I KNOW YOU DON'T PUT MILK OR SUGAR IN YOUR TEA.

I KNOW YOU DON'T PUT MILK OR SUGAR IN YOUR TEA.

Damn right I don't, nor do I alter my coffee. His anti-mixed drinks thing is fucking weird, though.

Wait, I thought Moby suffered from progeria?

Spielberg Does Not Have Asperger’s Syndrome
Thompson on Hollywood

Imagine my surprise when listening to an NPR report stating as fact that Steven Spielberg has Asperger’s Syndrome. Anyone who has had any interaction with the guy knows that he’s not only a super-smart and gifted filmmaker with extraordinary technological command (which easily could accompany an Asperger’s diagnosis), but he’s also highly intuitive, with warmth, charm and social skills to spare (which is far less frequent).

So it was not a surprise when his spokesman Marvin Levy came back to me today with an email confirming that there was “No truth” to the report. “It’s that simple.”

WTF, is Asperger's the new gay?? Everyone has to take a side on it??

 

[Yub]

Something like that, I suspect. You can't be smart or talented anymore. Everything needs spin.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

If it was Cameron I could believe it, but not Spielberg. Would his films really be as heartwarming and emotive if he was an Aspy. Seems unlikely.

Cameron on the other hand is constantly described as being more interested in technology than people. Linda Hamilton said he was awful with people and she was married to him.

Lucas never changes his shirt. That's all I'm saying.

 

[whisky]

He cant, his neck has grown over it.
