Asked by charliecompany34 (7810points) August 25th, 2010

stuck in a mountain until christmas? with a whole bunch of other musty, dusty, hungry folks in the dark? in a chamber the size of a hotel room? i go stir crazy after two days in a two-bed hotel room with three other people i love and care for.

how do i come out with my sanity? how do i survive? will i eat somebody? will fights break out?

probably not mine.
character trait that is constructive: good-willed self-efacement
character trait that is destructive: good-willed self-efacement, coupled with hysterical panic.

I’m super determined and super resourceful.

If you ever get stuck in the wilderness with a flutherite, you’d probably want it to be me.

Let’s hope, from the thirty three guys down there, there is at least one with a great sense of humor.
I am pretty sure that humor can ‘lighten’ the time that they’ll be down.

@rebbel humor can last only so long, but its a good start.

@ChazMaz farting amongst men is always the best camaraderie.

@charliecompany34 that’s all apart of male bonding. ~

I am a good cook and can make anything taste amazing including Long Pig. Plus my McGyver tendencies will allow me to fashion a male gas recycling device that can then be converted into a gas fired Weber Grill for cooking the Long Pig. I am also expert at picking straws to see who is the lucky one to be the main course.

My determination.

@Cruiser a cooking channel or novel food network concept perhaps? i saw the idea first! i live! i win! we battle to get out the hole with the idea.

long story short: the personalities are going to crash down there. hollywood is stuck on comic book action heroes, but this is the beginning of what could be a major movie.

Sheer bloody minded determination & will. Get thee behind me you reaper of grimness you…...wow that sounds so…....butch!! :¬)

@charliecompany34 I agree it could be a huge hit on the cooking channel or FOX where we could serve up disgraced politicians. We can work out a creative partnership on the concept and pitch it together. When do you want to start?

I’m stubborn and feisty and never give up without a fight.

I get by :D

The will to live; the knowledge from experiencing temporary disadvantages that things can be changed; the ability to be calm, cool and collected in a traumatic situation (although I’m much better at it when it is not happening to me.)

Get out of what alive? Nobody really “gets out of it” alive.

@charliecompany34 and @Cruiser politicians might make pretty bad long pig dishes.
Too tough and too rubbery.

The ability to know when to fight and when to move on… that skill was hard won.
