You are in a bar in the middle of nowhere there are three other guys in the bar. You have to choose one to drink with.


Mullet man- He has a crew cut with a long ape drape down the back. He's wearing a red tartan shirt and has a cheesy mustache to match his mullet.
The high point in his life was a U-2 concert sometime in the Eighties. He used to be a punk but he had to tone down his style to fit in as a diesel Mechanic. He can drink a lot and he's really generous. Has photographic knowlege of Eighties music and movies.

Artsy Fartsy guy- He's sitting in the corner reading" The Semiotic Challenge" by Roland Barthes. He's a conceptual artist he does text based artwork that deals with political and social issues. One of the reasons he does this is he has no traditional art skills. Although he likes to keep that secret. He's had many arts grants due to his good connections.
He's has somewhat feminine mannerisms. He is wearing all black with jet black hair. He likes to use big words like Postmodernist discourse. He's very politically correct and is offended very easily. His favorite insult is Masoginist facist.

Pattaya guy- He's travelled to Thailand eight times in the last three years.
He is hoping to marry his long time girlfriend who is working as a go go dancer in one of the bars on Walking street.

None of the above

Well, I know I'd totally hate artsy-fartsy and Pattaya man...........mullet man sounds okay, actually. I'd enjoy a discussion on 80's music where he was being serious and I was being ironic.

In my experience, Mullet man would have the best stories, so I would choose him.

Mullet man would strike up a conversation whether you wanted to talk to him or not.

Artsy-guy is waiting for a hot chick to come in and be impressed by his book and will avoid you because you will ruin his chances.

Pattaya guy is too socially awkward to talk to anyone other than his bar girl and will jump ten feet in the air if you ask him what time it is.

I AM mullet man (except I've gone bald and am doing ESL in Korea, of course). Pretty close otherwise...

[mateomiguel]

mullet man reminds me of my uncle, and a few guys i knew in college, and some of my previous coworkers (in the States) and, well, basically I come from Mulletsville, Mulletabama, United States of Mullet. So it would be nice to talk to someone from home. I voted for him.

[DWAEJIMORIGUKBAP]

I voted for Mullet Man.

He's the only one that seemed a solid character (not a flake) and wasn't self deluded. I'm sure we'd have a good drinking seesion and pool games together!

Probably pattaya guy as I think he'd have some interesting stories re: Thailand. Artsy fartsy guy as a second choice as I tend to be an intellectual sort of person and we could probably have interesting intellectual conversations...

[Tundra_Creature]

I think I've had my fair share of Artsy-Fartsy guys already. Smart guys with quick wit, but I'm a bit of a simpleton and can only take so much of their elitist 'if you're happy, you're wrong' ways. I'm not a very good debater.

I don't know if I could relate with Mullet man, but he sounds like an interesting guy either way. I think I could try hanging with him.

Pattaya guy... I don't know. Perhaps. Depends how awkward he is.

[travel zen]

Pattaya guy would be good for observing the psyche of shy introverts.

I'd like to hear his story of how the thinks he has found 'the one' for him.

After going through how many bargirls? Mr. Pattaya ?
