$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Revi', 'I') loved mos's post. It should be put in some kind of a thread of it's own called peak oil character types. Fun! I see myself as an amalgam of all those types, with the possible exception of Hannibal Lector.
I think this thread is BRILLIANT on the part of Mos, and I would be in favor of it being made its own "Character Type" thread. However, I would NOT be in favor of this thread being placed in the Open forum which does not appear in the Last 24 Hours search. This marginalizes any thread. I would favor placing the split off thread into the Psychology Forum, where it will appear int he Last 24 Hours search. Or else start listing Open Forum posts in Last 24 hours.
I am pleased to see at least 2 of my favored Characters/Metaphors made it into Mos' pictorial listing, which BTW was wonderful work digging up all these photos on the net. Tom Joad from the "Grapes of Wrath" and Hawkeye from "The Last of the Mohicans" made the cut.
You missed the most important one of all far as I am concerned though Mos. The Pale Rider. The Preacher with a Gun. Also the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse would be a worthwhile inclusion in my estimation.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')nd I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Needed also are the Adolf Hitler image, the KKK White Hooded Cross Burner and of course the Peak Oil Goddess
Maybe Che Guevara is enough, but maybe we need Karl Marx and Adam Smith also? Also Forest Gump and Pollyanna. More than a few of those here as well.
