    Perhaps Unknown is Gump. The Gump nobody knows about, nor wants to. :suss:

      Suppose that you were forced, at gunpoint, to walk across the United States from coast to coast. In addition, you were also forced to walk with one of three people. If you and the other person were ever more than 10 or 15 feet apart from each other, you get tortured for a few hours by sadistic men with anger management issues. It comes time to pick your walking partner, based on their profile. Who would you pick to accompany you on this journey? Name: Todd Wilkinson Photo: Clickety[^] Background: Todd has been an accountant for the past 15 years and has no interest in life outside of his job. He daydreams about taxes. His wildest fantasies involve finding tax loopholes which save his clients a little extra money. He occasionally toys with the idea of suicide and frequently enters into states of rage and depression, which he expresses via passive aggressive remarks and hand gestures. He never, ever laughs. Name: Ivana Meanowitch Photo: Clickety[^] Background: Ivana is a self-righteous, arrogant, mean-hearted woman. Her bleak understanding of English leads to many false interpretations of what people say, and she is quick to resort to violence in such situations. When she is not insisting that her way of life is the only good way to live, she enjoys her lifelong devotion to celibacy. Ivana wears the same bizarre outfit every day and seeks confrontations with strangers about her sense of style whenever possible. Name: Unknown Photo: Clickety[^] Background: This man refuses to tell his name, but accidentally mentioned once that he is fleeing the police after escaping prison. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison for being a serial rapist. He has a witty sense of humor, is kind to animals, helps little old ladies cross the street, is versed in poetry, can start a fire with two sticks on a wet day, and will go out of his way to bring a smile to your face every day...unless he decides that he "really" likes you.

      None of them. I'd rather have Chuck Norris walk across the USA with me. Too many weirdos out there and Chuck might just be the buddy to have around :-D

        Oh yeah, a guy who can destroy a fleet of tanks with one roundhouse kick is not a weirdo... :rolleyes: :-D

            With a roundhouse kick? I thought a good, stern stare is all he's gotta do :rolleyes:

                        I think Chuck's "Walker" days are over. He now just stares at the earth and makes it rotate, giving the illusion of walking.

He was sentenced to 20 years in prison for being a serial rapist. He has a witty sense of humor, is kind to animals, helps little old ladies cross the street, is versed in poetry, can start a fire with two sticks on a wet day, and will go out of his way to bring a smile to your face every day...unless he decides that he "really" likes you.

                                    Yes, but can you blame them for doing so if that's the only legal way they can hire programmers they want at the rate they can afford?

                                        None of them. I'd rather have Chuck Norris walk across the USA with me. Too many weirdos out there and Chuck might just be the buddy to have around :-D

                                          Something just does not seem right about that phrase... :^) I think "lifeshortening obsession with suicide" makes more sense to me. :)

                                          Seems perfectly fine to me. I guess you also have a problem when searching for things it is always in the "last place you look." (usually because you stop looking after you find it) Lifelong obsession is correct per se, since as soon as the obsession is carried out, it culminated with the end of life. Therefore it was an obsession to the end of his life. Thus life-long. Life-shortening is perhaps right, though it assumes he won't be struck by a car if he had gone elsewhere and done something else, and therefore would have lived longer. This is an unknown. I am not here to glorify suicide, but it usually ends the life, or makes you permanently miserable if you miss (usually leaving you with worse scars and more misery than you had before).
