Get a Job!!! I just got a position with a massage therapist in part because two different people mentioned "that guy that carried that red staff" to the owner. One was another instructor, and one a student last year. I carried it everyday when I recovering once off of crutches, and it became a part of my identity.

The wilderness fire kit contained within.

It really was survival when in a wheelchair and the wife forgot to get me food out of shelves, the extra 3' was a world of difference and would allow me to touch the floor if something dropped as well

This also got me thinking- is there anything that sets you apart in everyday life? Is that a good or a bad thing. If you have a unique feature you are more memorable- this could be good if you go missing as more leads as to where you were last seen. But then again, do you want to be seen/ remembered (calling Bushman5 :D)?
 
Nah nothing unusual about me, just a regular guy !

Well, like most of you I'm "the guy who has a knife" whenever somebody needs one.

I'm also the only one who rides motorcycles where I work.
 
Pit, I love the monkey and pumpkin calendar in the background. Really completes the shot.
 
This, coming from a mad Hungarian? :D

I asked for directions from PA and they sent a map with an arrow pointin' slightly north and mostly east with directions that said swim, walk, swim, walk some more, swim some more and when ya finally hit land go left for a while.

I got lost in some place called Fords NJ, by a town called Edison, I just got me something called a bagel and headed home, funny it doesn't taste like a donut.:D
 
I'm the guy who makes stuff. I am constantly surprised and entertained by people who believe all things come from walmart, the shock and incredulity behind their eyes that people can make stuff is hilarious.

50 years ago 6% of the worlds population made 50% of the worlds product and that was the U.S.A., I just heard this somewhere and even if it's an exaggeration it still signifies a huge change in who we are and what we do. Maybe even part of the cause of the predictiment we find ourselves in today. I never did understand how you can make money without making things or making these things work.
 
I'm the guy who always has a knife and flashlight, and probably more than one of each among other needful things.
I suspect many of us fill that role in our particular group of friends...

But that isn't really something that stands out in a crowd, unless people notice that my cargo pants pockets are actually full...
 
I am the guy, too, that always has a knife. My wife does not ask 'Hey, do you have your knife on you?' - she just asks 'Hand me your knife, will you?'

It also helps to be very tall. People tend to remember that. However, when you are trying to get out of meetings - it sucks. ;)

Around campus, I am known as the guy who has a little knowledge on everything. My wife always says that if I don't know something - my best bud (a lot like me) does. I like to dabble or read about a lot of things.

In the paintball world, because I have written so many manuals for them, there is one type of paintball company (Chipley Custom Machine) that makes a few pump guns. I get random e-mails from people I will never meet asking me about them all the time.


All of those things give me great pleasure. It is GOOD to be different.

p.s. By the way - Pitdog NEVER got any jobs looking like that though. ;)
 
Kris, I've been thinkin of pullin the pin on a CSS.

But it seems kind of thin for the things I might be doin, especially since it breaks down into pieces.

Is the thing old time tough?
 
Well, I think of myself as the guy with fantastically good looks. Or something. My wife, however, says I'm the raunchy (in a good way. huh?), inappropriate, knife/motorcycle/book guy who's always trying to see boobs. Whatever.
