Influential gender-neutral pronouns in your life, and what you learned from them

edited August 2008 in Social Entropy++
Personally, one figure stands above all else when it comes to words of wisdom and enlightenment. I've tried every step of the way to live my life by his "guidelines" and I think it's helped for the good. And at those times where I fall short, I just think back to the time he said
Life sucks, brendon. That's your lesson, go enjoy it.
So I give to you the most influential man in my life, coach mcguirk.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_EMES0GzhW8

So I ask you, SE++ who are the most influential men in your lives? How have they influenced you? Emphasis on men, becuase we all know women offer no insight to life beyond the perfect casserole or honey baked ham

It's not enough! I need more! Nothing seems to satisfy!
I don't want it! I just need it! To breath, to feel, to know I'm alive!

    the first three taught me that being a snarky asshole is funny and that it is important to question everything

    the next two taught me about great power and great responsibility

    and the last one taught me that writing is fun

    so yeah there you go

    It's real. He does a lot more risky things than Survivorman. There is absolutely nothing those cameramen could do to save him in the majority of situations he puts himself into

    I highly doubt Bear and his one single cameraman have a camp that they go to at night.

    But the other show you're thinking of Fallout is Survivorman, but that dude gets mcdonalds and naked women dropped on his camp every night so fuck that guy am i rite.

    oh apparently Les Stroud is the one that owns
    Unlike the similar Discovery Channel series Man vs. Wild, Stroud is completely alone (he is not accompanied by a camera crew and he operates the cameras himself). He is equipped with only his clothes, his camera equipment, his "trusty" harmonica, and a Leatherman multi-tool. Often, the show begins with a specific scenario in which one might find oneself stranded (such as a car breakdown in the desert; or stranded on a deserted island after a storm). To add to the realism of the "scenario", he is sometimes permitted to have some 'everyday items' that a stranded person in such a situation might possess. He also carries a satellite phone for use only in an emergency.[1]

    Both shows are good and I watch both.

    But bear has consistency. Only his clothes and a knife every time.

    And he tried to tame a horse in the wild that was awesome.

    that horse was from a nearby ranch

    and he failed at it regardless

    but he's still cooler than survivorman

    Since Man vs. Wild was exposed, they really upped the ante, though.

    I have always seen it as Bear being the guy that shows you these extreme case scenarios and Les showing you what is more likely to happen.

    Bear is on a mission, whereas Les is just surviving for 7 days.
