13. Huh!
"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."
Sounds like Sarah Palin. But to the Libs, she's a figure of hate and scorn. Gonna make your mind up or what?
Redbaiter obviously scored zero, and he's bitter.
Annie Fox just scored 9. Eat your gallant hearts out.

You're only supposed to do it once, KG. :-)
11. But how am I supposed to distinguish between the consistency of grits and chunky peanut butter when I have never eaten or even seen grits, despite having lived in the States? I should therefore up my score by at least one, but I won't.

Now having read the full article, I feel very puffed up indeed. I'm sure my chest sprouted a few extra hairs when I pulled off the Heimlich manoeuvre on a friend who was choking on a piece of ice. I have also learned removing ticks over here in Sweden by necessity, and live in fear of the little fuckers. They're known as 'fästingar' and have wrecked otherwise awesome mushroom-hunting expeditions.
I reckon MIG and TIG welding should be on the list.
