Thread: What Skills do you bring to the Revolution?

I can also build a fine shelter out of a variety of materials. Currently I'm working on improving my tracking skills. My Native American ancestors would be proud, I hope.

I can imitate a variety of birds but I would prefer--if this were used for hunting--cardinals would be spared from the carnage. They're my favorite.

Sweet! I really need to work on my plant identification, actually. My strong points are fishing, shelter building, and firestarting. I need to brush up on my tracking skills; it's been awhile since I've went out in the woods just to track a deer or two. I used to like to sneak up on a deer (not nearly as easy as it sounds), startle him or her, then track it, close on its heels, for as long as I could. Perhaps this was less than nice to the deer, but it sure made them more wary.

I can only imitate a couple of birds—like the whippoorwill. I do know a veritable panoply of little tidbits and useful tips, though, that I've picked up both from friends and family, personal experience, and forums. I'm a real promoter of preparedness, but at the same time minimalist survival. The way I see it, if you don't have the knowledge, no amount of fancy survival gadgets are going to help you.

I guess we're getting off-topic though, unless we're going to be leading a wilderness survival slash guerrilla warfare revolution. Which is fine by me.

Charisma, Intellect and the ability to rally people to a cause.

The manipulative ability to always tell the truth, but word it in such a way to push for a certain interpretation.

Rational, emotionally detached thinking and the ability to do what is needed regardless of personal feelings.

But, most importantly:

My hair.

I was built for front-line leadership while engaged in combat.

A dancing banana!

And his sidekick, the dancing blueberry!

Them are my bitches. Ain't nobody better piss me off.

Only my book collection of Deep Thoughts, By Jack Handy: i.e.

"If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone."

Along with some deranged imagination.

I forgot, I also bring a sense of humor...either goofy or sarcastic, depending on the situation.

You're a mute? Poor baby. Luckily I have the ability to cure that.

Yes I'm a mute. Actually no but I live in Korea, so it's almost the same.

Is the rose useful too, or is that just for aesthetic purposes?

Cannot help you there. The local community college teaches Japanese, but that's not even remotely similar. Do you know sign language?

That goes perfectly with my impeccable comic timing!

We'll be like Fry and Laurie... Abbot and Costello... Laurel and Hardy... Rowan and Martin... Pryor and Wilder... Belushi and Aykroyd... Lucas and Walliams... Data and Picard... Smothers and Smothers... Hall and Oates... Olivier and Caine... Martin and Lewis... Fey and Baldwin... Cook and Moore... Barker and Corbett... Conan and Richter... Kirk and Spock... Farley and Spade... Cleese and Chapman... I could go on... French and Saunders... Morecambe and Wise... Reeves and Mortimer... Wheeler and Woolsley... Cheech and Chong... Keenan and Kel... Borland and Taylor... Ted and Dougal... Basil and Manuel... Rimmer and Lister... Myers and Carvey... Ball and Arnaz... Taylor and Fife... Hotz and Rice... Odenkirk and Cross... Reyes and Pace... you get the idea.

Cheers to whomever gets all(or most) of those without Google.

I was under the impression that sign language is different in different countries, like spoken language is.

But I'm slowly learning Korean. We'll see how it goes.

Aye, sign language varies by region, not only language.

There's American Sign Language and British Sign Language even.

I like to think of it like the rose of Tuxedo Mask in Sailor Moon.

Wow. It's been years since I've heard a reference to Tuxedo Mask. Or Sailor Moon.

Bob and David aren't strictly a duo. They sort of went separate ways once David started Arrested Development and Bob started working with Heidecker and Wareheim (two you forgot) although they still work together on a bunch of stuff, including TAEASGJ.

I don't know what Tuxedo Mask is; I just hope you got my bad "hare" pun.

17 out of 36.
I didn't do too bad.

Yeah I got like one from that list. Ted and Dougal.

I didn't get Wheeler and Woolsley. So close!

Back on topic...
