memes

Robert Heinlein has joined the internet age. He's got his own meme. Lifted from ghaidin

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." (R. Heinlein)

A human being should be able to :

change a diaper, Never done it, so I probably suck.

plan an invasion, I've got a decent tactical eye, but I'm no Alexander the Great. More like Alexander Fair-To-Middlin'

butcher a hog, Um... when helter skelter comes down and we go all Lord of the Flies I'm the one who's probably gonna have to live on nuts and berries.

conn a ship, I don't even know what that is!

design a building, Anyone can design a building. Now if you want a building that will stay standing and actually work...

write a sonnet, I'd need a few lines of warm-up, but yeah, I could.

balance accounts, Pretty good at this, actually. I don't overdraft often.

build a wall, medium See buildings above.

set a bone, Somewhat. All those doctor shows I've watched gotta be good for something.

comfort the dying, I'd liek to think I'm good at comforting. I've never comforted a dying person, though.

take orders, good

give orders, good

cooperate, if I must.

act alone, This is where I shine.

solve equations, Ha ha. Right.

analyze a new problem, I don't assimilate such things quickly, but I do it effectively.

pitch manure, Well I've never gotten any on me. None that I didn't pay a German woman for, anyway.

program a computer, zero

cook a tasty meal, I'm a decent cook, but nothing to write Rachel Ray about.

fight efficiently, If by "efficiently" you mean "maximum pain, minimum fairness," then yes.

die gallantly. Well, I've died gallantly in a few roleplaying games. Does that count?

And now for that six odd facts meme. You can blame skynock

Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included.

1) I talk to myself. A lot. Usually obscene quotes from movies, cartoons, or pornos. One day it's probably going to cost me a job because I mostly do it while I'm at work.

2) I would wear medieval garb every day if I could.

3) I have very painful acid reflux, thankfully controlled by medication.

4) You probably won't believe this one, but when I was a child I used to think redhaired girls were gross.

5) When I drink soda out of a glass, I tend to lap it rather thank just drink it. I started doing that as a kid and just never stopped.

6) My wife hates it when I sing. This is troublesome because I love to sing.

It's not that much different than watching Zephyr drink out of a cup. I don't stick my whole head in the glass like he does, though.

Ahh, childhood! the time when seeing a redhead was a clear sign of bad luck!
I blame this on long-lost associations with red-haired invasors, but what's your excuse?

I thought they just looked icky with their really pale, freckly skin. Then again, it is possible that I might have been invasored as a child and have repressed the memory.

Furthermore, it is my belief that Carthage must be destroyed.

And planted with salt. After all, they sacrifice children. Or not. But in any case they're evil. The primordial axes of evil...I daresay that Hannibal is just a codename for Sadam!
