Icon Meme again! Because it's fun. This time

misscam asked me about the following:

Autistic people like Marshmallows (or marshmellows). The guy in the picture is Josh Hartnett who is playing Donald a man with Asperger's syndrome in "Mozart and the Whale". Donald is based on Jerry Newport who I know. Anyway, I found this picture on the Mozart and the Whale website and it looks like he's eating a marshmallow. One of the things about people's perceptions on autism is that they don't realize that autistic people can like the same things non autistic people do. So, it's sort of a silly thing letting people know that yes, autistic people can like the same things.

There is a brilliantly silly game called Munchkin Which is basically DnD without all that stupid character stuff. It's a card game, and there are things like "really impressive title", "Redo your character sheet, go up a level" and "Chicken on your head". Plus monsters like, "The Gazebo", "Goldfish in a bowl" "Lepercauns", "Mallrats" and all sorts of silly fun things like that. One of the cards, a trap, is called "the Duck of Doom". Where it says on the card, "Never pick up a duck in a dungeon". I was feeling silly -again- and made up an icon. Looking at it now, I realize that I forgot the word "the".

In the early days of the Eragon Sporkings, I came to the realization that Paolini seems to have a strange obsession with meat. This is all that Eragon seemed to eat. In my deranged little way, I wrote a Fan fic exploring the sexual innuendo of the word "meat" based on one of the early chapters of Eragon. Obviously this led to jokes about how Eragon and Meat were a OTP. Hence the icon.

ranka brought to my attention this lovely myspace page with this nutter who in his special little rant said, "Because autism is like Darfur". This made absolutely no sense but became an instant hit on trying to explain things. Because, you know Autism is like Darfur.

This one I stole from

misscam. Unfortunately I don't remember what it means. I think it has to do with Norway's response to some things that Bush said, but I don't really remember. :( It was, however, my first stolen icon.
