Can I at least be privy to the spectrum before I'm arbitrarily placed on it?

It's all academic now.  I have been fully briefed by "highly placed administration officials."  :ph34r:

What's your deal Zeus?  Long time hanger-on in the game room?

Zues, think long and hard before you answer this question.  It will determine your classification on the Languish scale from now until the end of time.

No.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Academic? I guess that places me more towards the top end then.
To be cunning and vicious is a fairly obvious shortcut to total victory.

And thanks everyone for the great ideas, I will probably be hitting up every restaurant I can that was mentioned, and probably most of the hiking trails.
It is leisure, sort of. My uncle offered to fly me up there, get me a job, and find me a place to live for the summer. I'll be working a lot, but I'll have a lot of down time. What I don't spend writing I will spend on all of your suggestions. And yes, fish taco will be high on the priority list.  :cool:

Do you write sonnets? :)
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

When pressed, I can write an iambic pentameter sonnet fairly quickly.

This place is all about branding someone in an arbitrary way.

But on the current most popular basis of assessment we dont know enough about you to know if you are a gun nut, your position on maximizing shareholder value or whether you are a Patriots fan.

Spoke like an anti-gun nut. :thumbsdown:

I am not a gun nut, but I enjoy shooting things when the place is appropriate. Shareholder value literally never takes up an iota of my thought as a general rule. Also, Tom Brady sucks.

I have two pieces of advice, despite never having been to Alaska.

1: Listen to everything Tonitrus says, that guy knows what's up.

2: If it scares you, do it.

Honestly, if I had to encapsulate the essence of manliness into one phrase it would be the risk-taking. Take risks. Don't let any girls tell you to buy japanese government bonds. Do everything. Try everything.

I tend to live my life in this manner. I'm sure that'll phase out when I reach an older, more experienced age.
